Following my heart, one book at a time...
9:32am UPDATE IT’S READY!! —> HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! Time to build another awesome list, and right off the bat, I already found a blurb jolter!! Keep checking back while I continue to add. 😀
BLURB JOLTS: One Wish by Jaimie Roberts (YES YES YESSS!! Love the sound of this one. She’s obsessed with a Hollywood star and makes a wish for him but…”…but there is a major snag. She can’t remember who she is . . . and her Hollywood hotshot hates her guts…”) 
THREE THINGS:
1.) We went to hang out with friends yesterday and eat pizza, and watch the hockey game. GO BOLTS!!!!
2.) The friend has a beautiful “red doberman” (I say it looks like a milk chocolate but I guess they call that “red”). He is the sweeeeeetest thing. Still a puppy I suppose (maybe a year or 2 old?), despite being full grown. He loves snuggles and playing (especially tug of war), and giving kisses. Best doggy ever (next to mine, that is 😉 )
This sounds right up my romance/domestic thriller dark alley! I love the whole starting over/hiding out theme (and then meeting someone… and learning to trust again. The dangers… the slow burn. YES PLEASE) This one just gave me a HUGE blurb jolt!
And on release day, the author let us into her writing world about this particular story:
BLURB JOLTS: June First <— HOLY MOLY FORBIDDEN LOVE ALERT!! And that’s all I gotta say about that, but oh boy did it give me a jolt! Beach House Summer (her celebrity husband dies in a crash, and she decides to befriend the mysterious pregnant woman that was in his car…)
P.S. Don’t forget to check out:
Rescued: A Collection of Contemporary Romances with Heart, Heat, and Dog Treats <— ANTHOLOGY SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!! “…What happens when 10 dog-loving romance authors get together and brainstorm? Why, books with rescue dogs, sexy heroes, dirty talking, and lots of dog treats, of course….”

From Bad to Cursed (The Witches of Thistle Grove Book 2) by Lana Harper <— THE BAD GIRL & THE GOOD BOY!! “…Rowan is the very definition of lawful good, so tragically noble and by-the-book he makes Issa’s teeth hurt. In accordance with their families’ complicated history, he and Issa have been archenemies for years and have grown to heartily loathe each other. But as the unlikely duo follow a perplexing trail of clues to a stunning conclusion, Issa and Rowan discover how little they really know each other…”
June First by Jennifer Hartmann <— IT’S FINALLY LIVE & LYNN LOVED IT!! OMG SOUNDS FORBIDDEN. “…When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her… I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams. I had her heart so woven in with mine, I didn’t know where she ended, and I began. Only, as the years pressed on, lines became blurred—and the blurrier the line, the easier it is to cross…”Lynn: I have just finished an ARC of Jennifer latest book called June First which releases on 17th May and wow what a journey that book took me on!!! Emotional heartache, forbidden, and tragic. I could not put the book down and the tears that flowed were endless. Highly recommend this all-consuming read.
Now… time to build today’s early list so keep checking back. Can’t wait to hear how your weekend was, and if you’re reading or watching or eating something amazing.
THREE THINGS:
1.) I watched the latest (new season!!) of Dexter! “New Blood”. It was really good. REALLY good. The big season reveal (well one of them, anyway 😉 ) I saw coming since I read (and loved) a book with a similar… theme. Let’s just say – that part of it – didn’t disappoint.
