TODAY’S QUICK HURRICANE IRMA AFTERMATH UPDATE:Β Hi everyone!! I’m awake and all is well. πΒ It’s a bit messy outside and I haven’t walked around yet out there, but everything seems okay except for the lack of power.
P.P.S. SECONDARY UPDATE!!!! No electricity still and… my cell service keeps going off completely for hours (and HOURS!!!) at a time. *sigh* So if you don’t hear from me, you’ll know why.
Happy EARLYBIRD MONDAY!!! Some of our favorite authors snuck in early, and I have a feeling I know exactly what a few of our book-buddies will be reading next. π Tee hee! Relief is just below…
EARLY BIRDS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!
- The Outskirts: (The Outskirts Duet Book 1)Β by T.M. Frazier <— HE ESCAPES TO BE ALONE & THEN SHE SHOWS UP... “...After a tragedy, Finn Hollis escapes into the swamp to be alone. That is until Sawyer Dixon shows up, all SCORCHING HOT innocence, claiming she owns the land less than fifty feet from his front door…“
Dirty Filthy Rich Love (Dirty Duet Book 2)Β by Laurelin Paige <— DUET CONCLUSION ALERT and I’m hearing he’s a BULLY!!!Β I won’t read the blurb ’cause I don’t want to spoil book #1 for myself, but I know a few of you’ve been anxiously awaiting this one, so… it’s LIVE!! RELIEF IS IN SIGHT!! π P.S. Here’s book #1 in case you’re ready to jump in now that it’s complete!Β βΒ Dirty Filthy Rich Men (Dirty Duet Book 1)
Grey: I finished in the wee small hours. β βHe wonβt remember me,β I insisted. ~ Dirty Filthy Rich Boys by Laurelin Paige. I have to type up my review, but yes!!!! I really enjoyed it, other than than the cliffy that I should have expected, and that isnβt a deal breaker for meβ¦ I can throw myself over a cliff when I know the end is in sight, and she already has a release date for the next book posted, (it is just a duet). It was hella hot, had a jerkface bully, witty banter, in shortβ¦it checked a lot of my boxes!
Tessa: Filthy, Rich Men by Laurelin Paige β Seriously, CATNIP!! This is not for everyone but Iβm so glad Grey brought it to my attention. *huggles Grey* My bully buddy. π
- The Four Horsemen: Bound (The Four Horsemen Series Book 2)Β by L.J. Swallow <— PARANORMAL SERIES & MUST BE READ IN ORDER but book #1 sure sounds goodΒ The Four Horsemen: Legacy (The Four Horsemen Series Book 1)Β “What’s worse than being pursued by the Four HorsemenΒ Discovering you’re the Fifth.”
Sledgehammer (Hard To Love Book 2)Β by P. Dangelico <— WHOOPS!! SHE MADE A MESS & now she needs a lawyer… “…He really shouldnβt have agreed to help his best friendβs wifeβs bestie with her imbroglio. Now sheβs remanded on bailββand living in his house. The woman is a walking, talking category five hurricane…” <— Oh yeah. She’s trouble. I wonder if her middle name is Irma. π
- Family ManΒ by Heidi Cullinan & Marie Sexton <— M/M ROMANCE ALERT! “...Between working two jobs, going to school, taking care of his grandmother, and dealing with his motherβs ongoing substance abuse, Trey Giles has little time for fun, let alone dating someone who swears heβs straight. Yet after one night of dancing cheek-to-cheek, Trey agrees to let Vinnie court him and see if he truly belongs on this side of the fence...”
- Coming Home (The Protectors Book 5)Β by Leeanna Morgan <— HE NEEDS AN EVENT PLANNER... “…Mia Costas is a successful artist, not an event planner. But, when two of her best friends ask her to help stage a charity gala, she reluctantly agrees. When she realizes how important the event is, she knows she’s not the best person for the job–and so will Stan if he discovers who she is…” (P.S. It can be read as a standalone)
Back in Black (Bad Billionaires Book 4)Β by Julie Kriss <— HE’S A CRIMINAL LAWYER & SCARRED FROM A BAD DIVORCE… “...Then Charlotte showed up on my doorstep.Β Willing to work as my assistant to pay off her brother’s legal bill. Beautiful and determined, even against the men trying to hurt her. She tells me I drive her crazy. She drives me crazy right back.Β I hired her.Β I watched her turn my life upside down.Β I saved her.Β I knocked her up.Β And then I fell for her...” It appears it can be read as a standalone, because I just backtracked and each book is about a different couple.
- After the Fall: Seven Winds, #2 (Seven Winds Series)Β byΒ Katy Ames <— SHE HATES THE NEW OWNER OF THE HOTEL SHE WORKS FOR… “…Sinfully handsome, famously flirtatious, unerringly cocky. Paragon of men. Archetype of entitled a**holes. As a guest at her luxury hotel, Mark was impossible.Β As the new owner of her hotel, heβs become a nightmare...”
- Moon Hunted (Mirror Lake Wolves Book 2)Β by Jennifer Snyder <— SHIFTERS ALERT!!Β BUT!!! This series must be read in order so here’s book #1 βΒ Moon Kissed (Mirror Lake Wolves Book 1)Β OH OH. Her werewolf gene won’t trigger… “Unless her werewolf gene triggers in the coming months, Mina will become an outsider within her pack as well.Β Itβs almost an unthinkable fate, one Mina finds herself needing to be distracted from. And who better to distract her than Alec Thomas, a charming Southern cutieβ¦who happens to be human? Alec isnβt the only one whoβs captured her attention, though. The handsome Alphaβs son, Eli Vargas, has his eye on her as well, much to the packβs approval...”
Teacher’s Pet (Windy City Weddings Book 1)Β by Kayla Drake <— SHE OWNS A PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL & HE’S EXTREMELY DEMANDING iN REGARDS TO HIS SON’S CARE... “...No parent is more demanding than wealthy investment banker Dennis Delaney. Every day, Audrey receives a morning memo from him containing precise instructions for his son Coleβs care. No detail is too insignificant to escape this single fatherβs notice. When Dennis finds himself coping with a short-term summer childcare issue, Audrey agrees to be his temporary nanny...”

OMG!!!!!!!! SO GLAD YOU ARE WELL AND SAFE!
Even a hurricane can’t keep Maryse away from us. Be safe and well, Maryse!!
I’ve been checking back for any news from you! So glad you’re safe!
Glad to hear your good Maryse.
*hugs* Glad all is well Maryse. Power outage sucks, but at least everyone is okay. Now, tell the truth. Were you dancing in the wind?
Maryse was streaking nekkid….
I knew it!
I’m so glad your ok, been checking when I wake up and go to sleep for updates because of the time difference. Even before I go to work.
So glad you’re safe. When Irma turned west and they started talking about Tampa taking a direct hit I got worried about you. You have no power yet?
I am reading Tied, by Crain Cole. I was in the mood for a broken hero and broken heroine kind of thing, and it delivered! Just a few more chapters left. Then I may try Ghosted!
I’m here guys!! I have no electricity still and VERY bad cell service (no service for most of the day in fact), so I’m in and out… *hug* I miss you all!
P.S. BOOK UPDATE!!!
I’m reading “Until It Fades” by K.A. Tucker, and this book is AWESOME!!!!!
Soooooooooo much more than the impression I got from the blurb (which was awesome in itself. Totally gave me a blurb jolt) and WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! THIS… wow. It is deep, and intense, and has so much more than what you expect is going to happen.
I’m in love with it. And now back to it. π
Now I have She’s Like the Wind in my head. Anyone else listen to that soundtrack a million times?
OMG. When I saw the hurricane on the news, I thought I could faintly see a nekkid lady streaking across in the background. Maryse, that was YOU????????
I did not have that song in my head until you mentioned it Bev. However, of course I did! I had it cassette and would play one side… then the other side. lol I only got the first one, not the second. I didn’t have the second until I got a CD player. π
Maryse so happy to hear you are ok. Hope your power is back on now!!
Until It Fades sounds really good, but the price, ugh!!!
Sledgehammer is fabulous so far. I’ve laughed out loud many times. I love the h! It’s a 5 star for sure!
Grey, I added the Dirty Duet books to my tbr. I noticed there are three books; a novella and two full-length books. Is the novella, the same as book #1? The blurbs are similar, just sounds like book #1 follows the characters for longer.
Book one includes the novella.
Thanks Tessa- I thought that might be the case.
Thought you guys might appreciate this:
