HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAPPY LONG WEEKEND OF AMAZING THINGS ABOUT TO HAPPEN ALERT!!!!! I have a whole weekend of exploring a new city in Florida planned (well… the city is not new, BUT I AM to that city – Sarasota area… go figure!) You’d think I’d have spent Tim exploring it over my 20+ years in Florida but nope! This weekend it is.
So therefore I had some planning and packing to do, and NOW… time for me to build our list today. I have a ton of goodies already that I’ll be adding in the next early afternoon hours.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND !!

- Sigma (Alpha Book 4) by Jasinda Wilder <— LIVE!!! “…The night it happened, it seemed like an impossible nightmare. There was no name on the note. No hint of identity or reason or anything. A single word, on the notes line: “She.” Just those three letters. The next day, I received another note. It too contained a single word: “belongs.” A third note, the next day. This time, two words. Four letters. “To me.” Ten million dollars, or our daughter would die. And then, there was a knock on my door...”

- Cash’s Fight by Jamie Begley <— AIMEE LOVED THIS ONE!
Aimee: CASH’S FIGHT by Jamie Begley
I was really loved this one!!! I would say that it was 4-5* if it was for the unrealistic terrorist threat I would rate it at a 5 star… but it didn’t really take away from the story. I wish I would have known that this was in a series because I would have started from the first book. But since I didn’t know, I think I missed out on Shade’s story!!!!
- One Night Only (Regency in Color Book 2) by Elise Marion <— LIVE!! HISTORICAL INTERRACIAL ROMANCE!! “…Thalia Ramsey has resigned herself to a quiet life running a respectable book shop in London’s West End. Nothing exciting ever happens in her world … until Stephen Dryden, His Grace the Duke of Westerfield, begins patronizing her establishment. Her girlish infatuation is completely ridiculous, and nothing will ever come of it. Yet, a heart’s hope is not so easily broken, especially when a chance encounter during a Vauxhall Gardens masquerade brings Thalia face-to-face with the duke…”

Mary Ann: Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah is amazing.
Alice: loved that one. So emotional.
- No Commitment: A Secret Baby Second Chance Romance by Lisa Suzanne <— AIMEE IS READING THIS SERIES!
Aimee: It always happens that I read a second in a series so the first one is called No Commitment and it had good ratings but it can be each one can be read as a stand-alone.
It’s a rockstar romance and a slow burn with a little angst and drama… not the full on like I like but a good read!
The 3rd in the series I think sounds really good because it deals with cheating 😳❤️
- Velvet Devil by Nicole Fox <— AIMEE LOVED THIS ONE TOO!
Aimee: I’m on a roll!!! Second good book in a row!!!
Just finished book one in a Russian mafia romance free on kindle unlimited called
Velvet Devil By: Nicole FoxI would have to say 5 ⭐️ it was so good! It definitely had the Alphahole and I swear he showed no feelings.😳It has a strong female lead, but she definitely loses patience with him!!! Secret kid also!! it is a cliffhanger but I’m so excited to see how this one ends that I’m starting the second one called Velvet Angel.
- Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score <— LIVE!!! LUCY SCORE ALERT!! HE DOESN’T DO DRAMA & NOW HE MET HER… “…Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding.
