• From Evil: Books 4-6 (Deliver Box Set Book 2) by Pam Godwin <— PAM GODWIN BOOK BUNDLE ALERT!!!!! “…Each standalone is a different couple with its own dark love story, all interconnected in a dangerous underworld of murderers, kidnappers, and cartels. You’ll be glad there are over 1000 pages of addictive romance and vigilante bad boys…”

Renee: Pam Godwins Deliver series is great.

Kimberly: One book that also took me out of my comfort zone yet was curiously arousing in the same way was Deliver by Pam Godwin.

• Dark & Dangerous – Paranormal Bad Boys Boxset by Valerie Twombly <— BOOK BUNDLE ALERT!!
• The Heiress Series: A Box Set by Pamela Sherwood <— COMPLETE SERIES BUNDLE ALERT!! “...A single woman in possession of a fortune must be in want of a husband...”
• Bridgertons Series by Julia Quinn <— HOOKED ON THE NETFLIX SERIES? These books are flying up the Amazon charts right now!!! 😀

Harper: Bridgertons is out (Netflix)! I watch today and loved it!

Tasha J: I got sucked into Bridgertonlast night and watched 5 episodes. Might as well finish tonight. I knew this would happen!

Jan: I’ve watched the first two episodes of Bridgerton and really liking it. The talk on GR is that the whole series is really good (according to those who’ve already binged the lot LOL). The two main actors are HOT! (Simon and Anthony). It’s surprisingly saucy too. Don’t watch it with your kids, ladies!

I just reread the first Bridgerton book, The Duke and I, to get in the zone. It seems like the series is mainly based around the first book. I hope Netflix do more series for the other books.

Terry: Romancing Mr. Bridgerton fits the bill for unrequited love. He isn’t super mean to her but she over hears him say something bad about her and it is wrenching. I highly recommend it! New to your site and I love it!

• Flame Series Complete Box Set : Second Chance Romance Collection by Daniella Brodsky <— SUPER-BARGAIN BOOK BUNDLE ALERT!! “…These sexy, swoony romances introduce you to: One smoldering Aussie alpha soldier, one smokin’ Hawaiian-Irish ex-boyfriend who’s (unfortunately) hotter than ever, and a Billionaire Aussie with a broken heart who can melt panties in a single glance. Now grab that cold drink and prep yourself for three hot reads…”

6. Dead Man Walking (The Fallen Men Book 6) by Giana Darling <— GIANA DARLING ALERT!! Nancy LOVED IT & I have an excerpt from her review. 😉

Nancy: …a standalone book, but #6 in THE FALLEN MEN SERIES. In my opinion it is the “Darkest” book of the series. Priest McKenna is the ruthless enforcer of The Fallen Men MC. You know an author is very good when they can build a feared and dangerous character’s back tragic story sad enough, that you feel bad for him no matter how horrible he might have been. The unlikely light in Priest’s dark life is Beatrice Lafayette.

There is someone for everyone, but this puts “opposites attract” to the very limits. Priest was a highly functioning psychopath. But that made him the best person to protect her from a serial killing psycho who wanted to steal her from him.

No matter Psycho Priest & Sunshine Bea’s unconventionality, the sins of their past, or the tribulations that would face them in their future, I am cheering for them to have a Very Happily Ever After.

1. Forsaken Trail (Runaway Book 4) by Devney Perry <— DEVNEY PERRY ALERT!! ONE NIGHT STAND WITH HER ENEMY & NOW SHE’S PREGNANT!!! GASP!! “...She blames the bubbly for falling into bed with Brody that night. Enemy or no, the billionaire is irresistible in a tux.

When he learns that she’s carrying his child, Brody offers Aria the chance of a lifetime. The catch? She has to live under his roof until the baby is born...”
2. The House At Sunset: SEALed At Sunset – The Beach Renovation (Sunset SEALs Book 5) by Sharon Hamilton
3. Stupid Love: A Friends to Lovers Romantic Comedy (The Prescotts Book 1) by Tara Wyatt <— BEST FRIENDS BUT HE’S SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH HER!! “… The sexiest man Lauren MacKinnon knows also happens to be her best friend. He’s six-foot-four of masculine perfection. He’s smart, and funny, and has one of the biggest hearts around. And she has no idea that he’s completely in love with her.…”
4. The Man In The Mask (The Manor Series Book 1) by Anya Summers
5. Tully: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (Dangerous Doms) by Jane Henry <— SHE RAN FROM THE CLAN… “…Now I’m forced to claim her. To make her a full-fledged woman of the Clan. She might fight me tooth and nail, But we both love a challenge. This time, there’ll be no escape for either of us...”
