TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND
!!
Dream Man Box Set Books 1-4: An Anthology by Kristen Ashley <— KRISTEN ASHLEY SERIES BUNDLE ALERT!! One of my FAVORITE series and Hawk is one of the loves of my life (and he INFURIATED ME!!!!) Ahhhhh I love everything about him and Tack and… well. THIS SERIES!!! Haven’t read these yet? MUST READ!!!!!
P. Walker: The Dream Man series is my absolute fav. Motorcycle Man with Tack and Red is the absolute best. Kristen Ashley is the queen.
Angie: Dream Man is one of my favorites, too. 🙂 I’ve been listening to Mystery Man over and over and over and over and over…LOL
Anna: I love Mitch Lawson (of Law Man fame) a whole lot! The whole Dream Man series is awesome, but Mitch was one of my favorite hot guys in this series. Plus this whole story is just really great and touching.
Tracie: I read the Dream Man series. I fell head over heels with Tack. To this day Motorcycle Man is STILL my fav from KA. But let me tell you all her books are HOT HOT HOT.
ShyAnn: I saw you mention her Dream Man series. So of course, I looked up the other then went on Amazon and bought all the books she had out. I fell in love with every single alpha male she’s created, and there have been many times where I would force myself to put the book down right after a squee moment – Which happens a lot – to take it all in, and give myself a moment to recollect myself, and maybe also because I never wanted the book to end – which of course I wanted the ending to!
- Sold to the MC Men by Sam Crescent <— SHE VISITS HER MOM… “…Her mother owes the Broken Devils MC a lot of money, and to help with the debt, Leah is the payment. Five men now own her. Five very strong, scary, sexy, ink-covered men can do whatever they want with her. But these men don’t terrify her. Leah finds her place with them…”
Parallel (The Parallel Duet Book 1) by Elizabeth O’Roark <— Recently release duet that sounds INCREDIBLE!! Ashley finished it and LOVED it!! P.S. Here’s book #2 Intersect (The Parallel Duet Book 2)
Ashley: I just finished the new duet by Elizabeth O’Roark and it was amazing! Parallel and Intersect. If anyone is looking for something that is going to completely suck you in – this is it. One of my top reads for the year! I loved loved Waking Olivia and this one has that insane tension/chemistry that I love in books.
R: I loved Waking Olivia and I can’t wait to read this duet!
Waking Olivia by Elizabeth O’Roark <— So much love for “Waking Olivia” so I thought I’d post it too 😉
LisafromDFW: Waking Olivia. It is a “forbidden” (not very forbidden ) SLOW BURN CR. The MC fight the attraction. Catnip! I liked it!!! I’m on to the next book. Drowning Erin.
R: Waking Olivia by Elizabeth O’Roark which I loved. It’s not all that taboo, but has both (semi-taboo) “teacher”/student trope and enemies to lovers.
This Side of Tomorrow by Sally White <— HAUNTED HOUSE ALERT!! THESE BROTHER WON’T MOVE ON… “…When seventeen-year-old Nebraskan, Rachel Sutton moves into her new home in Maine, she quickly discovers it is the former residence of Noah and Ethan Thompson, teenage brothers recently killed in car crash. Brothers who have yet to move on. Ethan, spiteful and jealous, is obsessed with Rachel, and Noah, guilt-ridden and gorgeous, is trying to save his brother’s soul…”
- Wild & Sweet: A Steamy, Opposites Attract Contemporary Romance (Men of Haven Book 2) by Rhenna Morgan <— Marit LOVED it!
Marit: Oh my GOD. You have to read Wild and Sweet by Rhenna Morgan! I think I’m dying over here. Super hot hero doctor and a heroine that is fragile, afraid and so sweet. I have read a lot of books, and this is a keeper! Hold moly. I want to start the book all over again. This book is part of a brotherhood series of six books. I cannot wait to grab the others
Superfan by Sarina Bowen <— SARINA BOWEN RECENT RELEASE & WE HAVE FEEDBACK!!
Ashley: I read Superfan by Sarina Bowen and… I just love her books. There is something so fun and engaging about her writing. And the sex scenes in the book were great. Sometimes sex scenes become monotonous but there are books were a certain scene will stick out or a feeling will come through and you think ‘Yep.’ Or rather you don’t think because you’re so engrossed.
Jan: I want to read Superfan.
Pretty Little Thing (The Sapphires Series Book 1) by Molly Storm & Chelsea McDonald <— ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ALERT!! “…Meet Cohen Mason. He’s the leader of the South Street Sapphires, a bike gang that calls Memphis its home. He’s violent and abrasive – not really a people person. But from the first moment he meets Angel he can’t stop himself from testing her boundaries. It amuses him but when Angel starts sniffing around his business, the tensions start to rise and he pushes her away…”
- Pay Dirt (Bennett Dynasty Book 2) by Kate Allenton
- If The Shoe Fits by Laura Greenwood
Outcast: A Reverse Harem High School Bully Romance (Kings of Mercia Academy Book 1) by Sofia Daniel <— THEY RULE THE SCHOOL… “…Blake, Edward, and Henry rule my new school. They’re aristocratic. Old money. Brutal as hell. They’ll do whatever it takes to break my spirit and make me leave. If I survive Mercia, I’ll get a free ride to college. My future will be set. My past will be forgotten. All I have to do is survive their dirty tricks….”
- Angel’s Flight (Legion of Angels Book 8)by Ella Summers <—Tessa’s BEST OF JUNE choice!
Tessa: Angela Flight is the second to last of the series and so much awesome happened in it. The series is truly one of the better series out there, especially on KU.
Her Sister’s Secret: The most gripping, twisty thriller of 2019 by E.V. Seymour <— PSYCH THRILLER ALERT!! Her sister is killed in a car accident… “...Determined to discover the truth, Molly begins to dig deeper into her sister’s life. With every question she uncovers yet more secrets…all connected to her own family’s past. One of them has something to hide. And then Molly meets Rocco, a stranger with dark secrets of his own. Nothing can prepare her for what comes next…”
- Kissed by Moonlight: A Dark Academy Romance (The Cimmerian Cage Book 2) by Cate Corvin <— Tessa chooses this one, too!
Tessa: Kissed by Moonlight is the dark book I mentioned that you look at the cover, it looks fun, and oooh, RH, so fun, sexy PNR. WRONG! Scare your pants off PNR at times, but the whole time it’s tense and dark. Very dark!
Summer With My Dad’s Best Friend by Penny Wylde <— OLDER MAN YOUNG WOMAN ALERT!! And sounds forbiddeny, considering that title!! “…I wanted my last summer vacation before I went off to college to be special. And when my family ended up crammed together in a lakeside cabin with my father’s long-time friend, I got my wish… … …If only it hadn’t been with my dad’s best friend. And when everyone finds out what we’ve done, our lives are going to change forever.”

Cake: A Love Story by J. Bengtsson <— ROCK STAR BOOK ALERT!! R. just listened to this oldie-but-goodie!

Happy Friday!!
Just finished Jersey Six, by Jewel E Ann. OMG!! It had everything. Romance, suspense, mystery, rock star, everything unraveling slowly… surely will be best of July & on the best of 2019 list FOH SHO! I devoured it. This girl can write. We know this!! Throwing peanuts your way Maryse.
And for Amy… third person narrative keeps you on the edge of your seat!!!
AAAAAND …. KU…
That is all. Enjoy the ride.
I am on it, MichelleS!! Starting it right now as we speak. *crunches peanut*
Okay so I’m almost done. Read it in pretty much one sitting, but you guys… I can’t STAND Jersey.
I sort of could… but she’s physically abusive and I abhor that. I don’t care if she’s a female and angry and lived a bad life and whatnot… how she can just punch & pummel away at anyone, man or not, when it’s not in self-defense, when he’s not hurting her in any way, JUST because she’s mad, infuriates me.
If it wasn’t for that, I could have probably really loved this book for the craziness of it all. It’s over-the-top, it’s not much that I could relate to, and their actions are maddening, but I was still into the story…
but I just can’t with her. ROAR!
BUT WHOA!!!!
That reveal.
HOLY MOLY I didn’t even see THAT coming…
Aaaaaaaaand Maryse’s reaction sealed the deal. It will be one of my next couple of reads.
LOL Amy!!
But they ticked me off big time. A few of ’em anyway. But yeah def. a reveal I didn’t see coming…
*whoops* Thank you, MichelleS!! I remember seeing it but never clicked it. Your reaction (and tip for me ;)) convinced me to finally get it.
Michelle I LOVED Jersey Six too and bonus that it is KU!!!
Maryse, I’m not sure about the Prime link above. Every time I try it I get sign up for Prime Student and one week trial of Prime student for 0.99.
Hi Cheryl… that’s so strange? I just tried it on a browser where I’m not logged into Prime and it showed it for me? One of the options is Prime Student also, but I had others…
Maryse, I tried again and this time was able to see other options, but still no free trial.
Have you been a Prime member in the past? Maybe it’s only for “never-been-Prime” yet…?
Nope haven’t been a member before. Now I can at least change it from Prime student to Prime; but sadly no free trial. Maybe it ended?
I think it has ended too, Cheryl. I’m going to do a bit more research and see if I can find out about another deal since Prime Day is coming soon…
Thanks Maryse!
Good morning! Happy weekend!!
I have another great deal to add to Robin’s awesome list. One of the books that was on many of our faves for 2018 lists is on sale–The Idea of You by Robinne Lee is only $1.99!!
GASP!!! YESSSS OMG I loved that one. Thank you Nay!!
Just finished all 3 books in Julie Ann Walker’s In Moonlight and Memories. It was beyond an epic read. Has to be one of best I have read in true romance. Author makes you understand and feel the people and history of New Orleans, with a love triangle, secrets, mysteries, loyalties of a true friendship that goes beyond any you have ever read. If you have not thought about reading, it is a must read. Unlike anything author has ever written. Can’t seem to pick up another book because I keep re reading in my mind.
I totally love the sound of this one! And it was pretty fun that she released them all at the same time. 😀
YAY! I’m finally able to get Muse of Nightmares from the library! The first book was so good, so I’m looking forward to the second one. 🙂
OK I started Superfan today and liking it so far. Also, I saw Accidental Evils is out. #3 in Susan Fanetti’s Pagano Brothers series. *click* Yay 😀
Cold wet weekend here – perfect for staying in and reading 😉 And after reading your post I may have to start a reread of the dream man series too, Maryse.
Let us know what you think of it, Jan!!! 😀
Am currently reading ACCIDENTAL EVILS. I found the first third of book to be rather slow but as it is a Susan fannetti book it picks up. Remember Tony from the last book but really come to like him in this one.
Finished Accidental Evils last night and really liked it, even though some of the characters are pretty f*ed up people. I’m about 3/4 through Superfan. I like it too, but not as much as the Fanetti.
Where’s bev? I come out of my cave, and she up and disappears? *pouts*
She’s watching dramas, listening to music and smothering herself in lemon scented body oil and now smells like a lemon drop!!
And she’s in the Monday Earlybirds post and I can’t wait until she tells me where I can smell like a lemon drop too.
Maryse how come I just got this post today (Monday)? Haven’t had any problems with any other mail.
JulieO, which post? This blog post? I’m not sure…
Are you signed up to the daily emails from feed burner that sends you my blog posts from the day before, once a day?
I didn’t send out any specific kind of notice about this blog post being up (via email)? Just posted it here, and then on the social medias.
I don’t normally personally send out emails about daily blog posts, except for the weekly newsletter email (and that usually goes out Tuesdays) and/or occasionally Fridays, but not this past Friday.
Is that what you meant? Maybe you were excepting a Friday email newsletter? I didn’t send one out last Friday…
