Latest Romance Book Releases – 09-27-2022

HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!!! I will do my very best to get some fun stuff posted over the next day or so, but being in Central Florida means we currently have a hurricane headed right at us. And I mean I now live smack dab in the middle of where it looks like it’s going to enter the state, or hover on the side of it and I’m nervous!! Eeeeep!

But for now, it’s not here yet, so let’s find us some books to read, while I charge up all of my devices. 🙂

Maxwell (she realizes her accidental new husband is the Fae king!! “…waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think…”)
