HAPPY FRIDAY MY FRIENDS!! 😀 Friday’s rock! It’s the start of my reading-weekend marathons (and hopefully this weekend I get to read outside, since it’s finally cooling down, here), plus, I get to gather some of the latest reader recommendations that have come my way. AND I’ve started a new “Friday morning tradition” where I search through books upon books that haven’t heard of yet, read blurbs, and post those that sound like something I’d like to read. Kind of like I used to do, when I’d go to a book store and spend ours reading back covers and making my own pile to take home. I don’t do that as much now that I’m an ebook fiend, but this is the next best thing.

Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – September 23rd 2014
<— Oooooh I’m already finding some that I’m *squirreling* over… *squeee!!!*
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!! (September 24th): Hopeless by Colleen Hoover is on sale!! (Thanks Amy!!) Here is my review. This book is awesome! —>
AND!! Temper For You by Genna Rulon was just released today. It is book three in her “For You” series. I believe each one is about a different couple so likely can be read as standalones, although getting to know them all from the start is best (and I loved book #1. Here is my review of that one).
Some good-looking “early bird” releases… ;)
<— FORBIDDEN ROMANCE!??? YES. PLEASE!!!!
LOL! Why am I such a sucker for that “bad stuff”? 😉 ‘Cause it feels soooooo goooooood to be tormented in love. In books. Always and only in books. 😉 <— That should be my tagline. Tee hee!!
Anyway, there are some newbies that were just released, and while tomorrow is our official release day, ya know I can’t help but highlight the good-looking early birds.
- With the Father by Jenni Moen <— Tell me this blurb doesn’t give you a mini-*oomph!!* “Father Sullivan was a force – a living and breathing force, a forbidden desire I couldn’t resist. I didn’t want to resist. But I wasn’t the only one who wanted him, and by all accounts neither of us should have him.” and Jeanie is freaking out. And for that matter, so am I…
Jeanie: Maryse, I just finished With The Father – wow, my head is spinning! I had to join the Facebook Discussion Group for this because I still can’t wrap my head around everything that happened – or didn’t. A priest and two sisters!!!! Eeeep!!!!Maryse: Yeah!!!????? GAH!!! I want to read this now. WHAT WHAT WHAAAAT!!!???? A priest and two sisters??!! *gasp* The forbidden-ness!!!!!!! I looooovvvvve it. 😀
- Shadowing Me (Breakneck Series, Book Three) by Crystal Spears <— BIKER ROMANCE ALERT!! JUST RELEASED! (Here’s the series reading order)
The Fallen Crest Series by Tijan <— THE ENTIRE SERIES has been bundled and sooooo many of our fellow readers just L-O-V-E this series like crazy. So my eardrums have been busted out by the online squee’ing. 😉 Aimee squee’d! “*jumping up and down* OMG, OMG, OMG!!! This is a GREAT deal…her books NEVER go on sale…..wham, bam, thank you ma’am!!“- VAIN – The Complete Series: Part One, Part Two & Part Three by Deborah Bladon <— Speaking of sexy-bundled series, Lauren found us this new release and super-sale! She says: “Deborah Bladon’s Vain series is bundled. Finally!” Fabi loves this one! “Vain – mentioned in a previous blog post, has a really original plot. It’s a hot one with a moody, reclusive alpha jerk and an ultra modern heroine that we don’t often see. The short book grabs you right from the beginning and ends with an umph. I had to download the author’s other works after this one.” And while I hear there are cliffhangers, it’s no problem to us that are new to the series, since it’s complete. 😀
- Destined Havoc (Havoc Series Book 1) by Nina Levine <— a BIKER spinoff from her “Storm” series?
- Chains: An MMA Romantic Suspense Novel by Kelli Maine <— MMA ROMANCE ALERT!!!! (check out the HUGE giveaway we’re having!)

MMA BOOK ALERT!! Okay, so see that book there to the left? Chains: An MMA Romantic Suspense Novel is LIVE right now!!! And from the excerpt the author sent over, it. Is. STEAMY!!!! What’s it about?
Chained To The Past.
On the brink of going pro in MMA, Tyler Graves has defied his past—a past where going to jail for beating the hell out of his foster father took him away from the girl he loved and swore to protect, leaving her in the house of the man who abused them both.
Chained To Regret.
No matter how much time has passed, Danielle Debasco weighs on Ty’s mind and conscience. He was supposed to save her, instead he abandoned her.
Chained To Love.
To free Danny from the abusive man who still haunts her, Ty’s faced with sacrificing his future by finishing what he started four years ago—taking vengeance. But, this time will be different. This time he won’t stop until the horrors of their past are sealed not just in blood, but in death.
Ready for that excerpt? It’s SUPER HOT & STEAMY!!!!!! So… you know… you’ve been warned. 😉 Also, the giveaway is right under the excerpt.
Latest Bargain e-Books – September 19th 2014
Happy Friday (and may we all have a whole weekend to indulge ourselves in our TBR lists). 😉 I found us some popular and “new-to-me” bargains, plus a few brand spankin’ new releases that sound just right!
<— Like this one. Oh YES!!!! The Wright Brother By Marie Hall, and it sounds awesome and it was just released today!!
Deaf and colorblind, I was a loner. My world was bleak, silent and empty, until her. Until I met my neighbor, Elisa Jane Adrian. I want her. I need her. The fractured part of me feels whole when she’s around. Like the world isn’t so dark, isn’t so bleak, and so still. I know it’s impossible, but when I look at Elisa I swear I can see color, can hear the gentle inhalations of her breath. I know she feels it too, this magic, this desperate desire…
