HAPPY FRIDAY!!! We’ve got a nice list of new releases and fun finds today, and I’m not even done adding to it. But I figured I’ll post it now, since we’ve got some incredible looking options. AND!! I’ve started my next read. 😉 I couldn’t help it you guys. I HAD TO start it. *red-faced*
I’ve decided to start Tarryn Fisher’s upcoming releases, “The Wives: A Novel” (I have a review copy), and her writing is IN. CREDIBLE. Being in the main character’s head is EXACTLY how I would feel and think… (how does she DO that??). It’s as if she’s me! UGH what a predicament. I’m so nervous (but even more titillated). 😉 Oh yesssss, you KNOW this is right up my alley. I think Tarryn Fisher is truly my most favorite. Her voice is incredible.
Cheryl: It does sound good. EXCEPT IT’S NOT RELEASED UNTIL. DECEMBER!!! What a tease Maryse!!! 😉
Jean: No fair Maryse! Many of us are waiting for that one!!
Maryse: *giggles with glee* You guys… I am HOOKED!! I read late into the night and had to force myself to put it down to go to sleep. That is RARE now as I usually always fall asleep while reading.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND !!

What do you do when someone writes a song about your most private feelings and experiences and you hear it on the radio for the first time?….“
- Jersey Six by Jewel E. Ann <— RECENT RELEASE BY ONE OF OUR FAVS & WE HAVE FEEDBACK!!
Jean: Morning! Finished Jersey Six last night! Loved it! …Another great book by Jewel E. Ann! …I too was able to figure one thing but the other twist I did not see coming!!
Cheryl: Just finished Jersey Six. 5 stars!! It was a rollercoaster of an emotional read. Your heart just breaks for Jersey. I was on edge wondering how this was going to end. I did figure one thing out correctly but was surprised by something else. Just when you think it’s going to be ok, nope, real life continued to happen and the angst just kept coming.
Perfect ending; does not leave you wanting more. Definitely a book you need chocolate and tissues for. If you have triggers it may not be the book for you. …it does deal with some heavy subject matter.
Jean: Maryse, read Jersey Six first…..it is a standalone and I’m curious to get your thoughts on it…….
Linda: Good morning and Happy Friday!! Jersey Six. Finished last night. Jersey and Ian will be in my head for awhile. Yes one of those reads that is so amazing but sooo painful too. I agree with Cheryl’ s comment. I had some things figured out but not the other!! Oh my heart. Another book where you don’t want to skim over one single word. Jewel E Ann never disappoints!!

Turns out they’ve been double booked…”
- Sparking Sara (The Men on Fire Series) by Samantha Christy <— LIVE!! FIREMEN ALERT!! “…The doctors tell us getting Sara back into her normal routine is what’s best for her.
But what happens when she doesn’t want her old normal? Some would say I’m trying to save ghosts from my past. I think they’re wrong. Maybe all of them are wrong. Maybe the best thing for Sara is me…” - The Help: A High School Bully Romance (Kings of Linwood Academy Book 1) by Callie Rose <— RECENT RELEASE BULLY BOOK ALERT & ANGELA LOVED IT!!
Angela: Just finished “the help” by Callie Rose (bully book). I have to say wow! I finished it in a day. I was sucked in wanting to know what was going to happen next. So many unanswered questions through and a shocking jaw dropping ending. I have to wait until August until the next release. 4.5 stars.

Every departure is the sweetest possible distraction from the life and memories she’s trying to forget. When she meets the mysterious Matthew in Chicago, something about him tells Stella she’s not the only one running from the past. Their connection is instant, electric, volcanic – and for the first time, Stella wants a layover to turn into a roundtrip ticket…”

*Friday happy dance*
“Ask me Why” sounds up my alley. Single dad, grumpy, enemies to lovers…
Ugh!! Now I have too many choices so I still don’t know what to read! *snort* There’s no pleasing me apparently. 😜
I finished Million Dollar Devil. It wasnt my thing. It DID have great UST, but storyline went in direction that felt too “contrived” to me. 🙁
Ask Me Why sounds good to me, too. I love initial jerk-faces (as long as it’s believable).
Unusual name alert. The H’s name in Ask Me Why is apparently ‘Brance’. Hmmmm. Haven’t heard that one before.
Weird names can go either way…not sure how I feel about Brance.
My current book h is named Ren and the H’s brothers are named Brig & Rogan (who I am sure will have their own books as series progresses)
Yeah I don’t think I’m in love with the name Brance. Your current read names are an odd lot, although I have come across Ren and Rogan before. Ren I guess is a shortening of Lorenzo? Maybe Brig is a shortening too.
Good morning and Happy Friday!! Jersey Six. Finished last night. Jersey and Ian will be in my head for awhile. Yes one of those reads that is so amazing but sooo painful too. I agree with Cheryl’ s comment. I had some things figured out but not the other!! Oh my heart. Another book where you don’t want to skim over one single word. Jewel E Ann never disappoints!!
I’m adding your comment above, Linda!! I’m so excited to read this.
Ok, I’m giving That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn a try. It’s got trees in background of cover so it will count for one of my challenge categories AND it’s KU. 🙂
Oooohh I still need a tree book!
Robin, off my faves list I have a few tree CRs.
Pull Me Close by Sidney Halston
One Reckless Summer by Toni Bake
Virgin River by Robyn Car
