Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – April 26th 2016

Geez Maryse! Why do you INSIST on reading the expensive books???

I know RIGHT!!!!???? I sense a conspiracy!!!!!!!

No martinis for Maryse *sticks out tongue* or any other cocktails!

I’m not telling you why they look familiar. Book one is the least antsy, but there is way more. See, now I’m really curious what you think. I do get the have to read thing. I usually do too or I won’t finish it due to forgetting stuff. :/ It happens a lot.

Amazing list Maryse! Thank you.

Tapping the Billionaire and Dick sound great! One clicking now. I want to go home and keep reading Ladies Man! I’ve been thinking about Tahoe all day. I think I might have a tiny crush lol

I just finished Sidebarred by Emma Chase. It’s was really cute. Jake Becker is just too adorable in an alpha way. I also read Forever Pucked by Helena Hunting and that was enjoyable too. Now I need angst. Uber angst. After I Do isn’t angsty yet. Does it get better?

Wow, there is a whole lot that I want to read on this list. But I have to be completely honest. The one that stole my interest first… Until You *giggle* kidding. Sort of… READ IT!

Ok, All of the ones in Maryse’s initial blurb have my attention… I actually have Dangerous Girls in my kindle already though. So I think I’m gonna go with that one first. But I had a 20 dollar Amazon gift card, so I’m gonna go ahead and get all the rest of them I think, *giggle* NO SELF CONTROL! Maybe I’ll wait til tomorrow…

Somebody read something by julianna Keyes so we can talk about it HA
Also can’t wait for Sarah J Maas’ next. Hope it’s good
I sampled a bunch from this list but haven’t taken the plunge yet

You know what Maryse hasn’t watched?

And it’s my special day.

Bev! Is it your birthday?

Lisa M I haven’t seen a single person who’s read it and has not had that same amazing reaction. I’m so sad I’m not caught up on that series so I can read Ladies Man. 🙁 I love Katy Evans.

“I’m NOT buying a book titled “Dick”. Nope. I draw the line right there.” <—- *snorrrrrrrrrrt!!!* You're hilarious, MichelleS. 😉

One-click heaven today!!
Marry, Screw, Kill (HECK YEAH!!!)
The Year We Turned Forty (forgot I preordered that :D)
Bring Me Back (yes, I fell for the hook that author threw out)
Return of the Bad Boy (I love long lost love-unknown kid stories!)
The Wedding Pact (how FUN)
Opaque Mirrors (what the actual f%&k? Click!!)

Here Maryse, I got you covered… *hands Maryse TWO lemon square martinis* So. Freaking. Yummy.

I am so excited Renee Carlinos new book is out this week. Love her writing. Cant wait.

Happy Birthday Bev!! 😉

Fabi, JR did make me cry—in parts. But I also cheered. And the characters just stayed in my head for days afterwards. Read it. Seriously.

Happy (early) Birthday!
Taurus rules.

…and also seriously, why would I worry about a book called Dick when I have Manwhore on my tbr. OMG the depths I’ve sunk to. *eye roll*

But…people…really…I don’t want to cry. Why??? Do y’all rec teary books to me? I just want loooove. *snicker*

Yes, we are. And slow moving but steadfast.

Taurus, huh? Well that explains Bev’s bullheadedness…”read this and watch that, but don’t ask me to read or watch your recs.”

😛

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEV!!!!!!!

Thank you.

I’ll blame it on my sign, lol.

I like the way people appear to write their real opinions on these discussions. Sadly the reviews for new books on amazon and elsewhere are sometimes ridiculously over the top, with multiple 5 star raves for books that I have sometimes found to be just ‘meh’. (And surely I’m not the only one???) I know we all have different tastes, but I get annoyed if I think a review is unjustifiably OTT. Honesty is a much better policy.

So I like it when I read other’s comments about books they didn’t like as much, and why. Makes me really think about the book in question, and what I like/ don’t like in books. If I write a negative comment about a book, I’m not intending to target or hurt anyone or insult their taste. I’m just callin’ it as I see it, in the interest of frank and interesting discussion.

In that vein, my current pet peeve is books where the heroine has a potty mouth. Yeh, call me an old fashioned sexist. (Ouch! No peanuts!) but a few books I have tried lately have pretty much opened with our fair heroine pointlessly dropping the *f* bomb and even the *c* bomb in casual conversation. I don’t like this and it puts me off the whole book. Swearing is fine in it’s place (e.g. an extreme situation) and doesn’t worry me then, but as an everyday way to talk, no thanks.

Dangerous Girls… Oh. Em. Gee. I am FLoving it. Maryse… girl, this book is off the chain fantabulous!!!

Happy belated birthday to bev!!!

Jean… check in Jean… are you reading Until You??? I have to know…

Happy belated Birthday Bev!

JEAN I CAN’T WAIT FOR RAW 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I also have that Samantha book on my TBR!

I just stumbled on an awesome sounding PNR series!!!!!!!!! Tessa! This has your name all over it!

https://www.goodreads.com/series/155275-air-awakens

Finished Ladies Man and loved it!! They connected on every level before starting a physical one and thats why it was so good! It was beautifully written. You can actually feel what they were feeling and thats what I look for in a book. I can honestly say this is my favorite book from Katy. Sorry Remy lol!

Just finished Ladies Man! Oh Boy, am I in love with that book. It had me squeeing on every page. It was an angsty and filled with everything you could want in a romantic book! I need more books like this

Ok on to other things…….Tiffany Snow has the Kathleen Turner books at .99! If you haven’t read this series you are seriously missing out. Get them why they are at this great price!

Stephanie Hudson just released book 7 in her Afterlife series…..hello Dominic Draven anyone?? It’s called Sacrifice of the Septimus! Can’t wait to get my Draven on!

Mr. perfect by JA Huss went live and Caged book 2 in the Mackenzie Grey series by Karina Espinosa is out also. Book 1 is called Shift and I’ve been waiting forever for this second book to come out. It’s a fabulous shifter series!

Hey Jean, I know I’m not Robyn but I don’t think you need to read the Manwhore books first to read this one. I hope this is true because I don’t remember them…..so sad but true.

Thanks Ela! Unfortunately, we all have that memory issues when it comes to our books!

OMG! LMAO! *book nerd problems #1001* *remembering a book we read*

Happy belated birthday Bev! *throws confetti* *throws peanut at Maryse for Murder of Crows in her honor*

Ela, yeah. I just wish-listed that. Thanks for the recommendation. It’s totally my type. 🙂

Grey, you realize how much I adore that series? Until You gutted me just like Bully. It’s how same time-frame, different POV should be done. It was insane.

I’m reading the Eden book. I’m not in enough to really have a say yet. :/

All this Courtyard talk has me wanting to read Marked in Flesh again.

Ela – meh – strippers are overrated. I’d rather get cozy with a good book and a sweet drink.

EXCEPT if the Magic Mike crew showed up. 😉

Thanks Robyn!

I am loving all the ‘happy’ Ladies Man is bringing. I adored the Manwhore series….Saint was an amazing H. It’s not a series I would forget….but Ela, Maryse and Co I have had that happen to me WAY too many times…when Ive read all the rec’s for a book, read the blurb and thought ‘Ive GOT to read that’ only to discover I already have….and enjoyed it no less (according to my star rating).
Just shows we book nerds read too many books!

Happy Birthday Fabi. Flirty Fifty and fabulous. Congratulations.

Deeper by Robin York is 1.99. You all know how I LOVE this book.
If you haven’t Read it.

And thank you all for the wishes. And the kisses, lol.

Happy Birthday Fabi! *more confetti thrown*

8Squee* Yeah, more people loving Until You. Both Bully and Until You, *clutches chest* Gah!

You need to read endless possibilities next Ela!!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes guys. Love y’all!

Grey, I get it! Jared is totally with a re-read (or two)! I just don’t want to leave his world EVER!!

We really need to get Maryse to read Until You. I noticed she did read and review Bully, but there’s just no comparison!

Ok Ela, you have me intrigued!

That should be I cook dinner.

All of a sudden I imagined myself standing outside MichelleS window blaring Jolene as she cooks dinner.

Beeeev, I’m making progress. I read WiR. I’ve had Simon on my tbr for a while now. Just waiting on that YA mood to strike. I added JR to my tbr a few days ago *grumbles “even though it’s going to make me cry”*. And…Strawberries for Dessert is just going to have to wait because … Because … well, because.

Ela – Oh my goodness…SOLD! I’m reading that book!

Grey – Ok! Bully first, but I’m looking at all these books after Bully. Do I have to read those first too?

Maryse – Uh….ummm
*raises hand while shyly looking at the floor*
Just gotta say Sherlock is not the same time investment as a regular TV series. A whole season is only a few episodes. You should really consider at least trying the first episode. Between books is a brilliant idea.
*Puts hand and down and tries to become invisible*

That WAS perfect Bev.

Amy 🙁 so sorry about your day. But you’re home now and lots of good books are waiting to cheer you up. Are you really reading Original Sinners this weekend? I’ve been telling Jean I’m reading it next, next, next…but my reading has been all over the place lately. I need a nudge.

Awww that sounds like a lovely weekend!

Oooohhhh wait wait wait Amy are you reading Sinners on Tour or Original Sinners? Yes to the first one. Pass on the 2nd cause I already read it.

Tessa I got stuck on that first scene when Ben and Troy made their first appearance……..I got so mad at everyone involved I had to walk away for a while.

OMG, Maryse! I re-read your review of Bully, and you asked some seriously needed to know questions that Until You answered. Oh, and looking back, that review was why I read the book to begin with. 🙂 And! It was the first review I read on here.

Nah Amy that’s why I didn’t mention the scene to you earlier, I figured you’d read it a while back.

Did you guys see that the ENTIRE Evan Arden series is on sale for $0.99???
∆∆∆ that’s a good deal ∆∆∆
Awesome series.

Looks up, smiles Huge at Tessa cause hugs are nice. Then smiles at Bev because virtual hugs are nicer since there’s no touching. Then blows a big vertical air kiss to Ela. Then buries her face back in the e-reader cackling like a banshee cause Meryn from My Commander is absolutely HYSTERICAL!

Fabi…I have a Nook app on my iPad. 😉

Grace, the order of books for the the Falling Away series is #1 Bully, #2 Until You, #3 Rival, #4 Falling Away, #5 Aflame. Obviously, my number one in this series is Until You… I liked ALL of them. Honestly all of them, but Jared’s book was my favorite.

I’ve been reading the Pretty Little Liars books… but they’re kind of cutesy and I need something dark… eep. haha!

My favorite book quote ever came from Until You… god, this book… wrecked me. FLove it!!!

It’s ok. I just get super excited about it when someone wants to read one of my all time book faves. Jean!!! I’m so thrilled you’re loving it!! Maryse, you should be next, you and Grace could buddy read!! *tra la la*

Tessa, I have to go back and read Maryse’s Bully review. Seriously, I can’t even think about starting another book right now. Until You left me in such a state…..I just loved it so much!!!!!

Sinners on Tour! Yay! Amy and Fabi, you will love these guys!

My Commander…..maybe that will be next for me……

Amy, you know what else we have to read? Oblivion

I think I have mini-strokes every time I scroll through my tbr.

Why haven’t we read Oblivion?

You haven’t either was supposed to be a question. I forgot the ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Yup, I’m taking a break from typing. It’s not working so well right now.

I completely agree Maryse. Miley’s is an excellent remake of Jolene.

Hey I haven’t read Oblivion yet either! We should BR!!

Oblivion Friday night… that sounds like a martini kind of bad idea all the way around *giggle* — I’m totally in…

Fabi!! WTH??? Did you forget about the Sinners?

“slurpity yum” <——– OMG… *snorrrrt!*

Ummm I can’t start oblivion tonight. I’m already sitting at a bar!

Oh my god, y’all are killing me hahaha

Amy, no, nope, I didn’t forget about the Sinners. How could I? (Read comments above) lol

I thought you hadn’t read Oblivion either so I was think O Friday night and S Sat and Sun. But, hey, Jean’s already at the bar so she has a jumpstart on Oblivion too. 😉

Yep Fabi, I’ve read it…in fact, it had been a while since I read the first three books in the Lux series so I actually had Oblivion open on my iPad and the Lux books open on my Nook so I could refresh my memory about her POV in scenes that are in Oblivion. Damn, it was fun. 😛

I’m 91% on Last Hour of Gann. Man that is a big book. Hopefully I’ll find time today to finish it. I really like it. What a crazy adventure of a book.

As LHoG is pretty full-on and intense, I did take a break in the middle. (Does anyone else do that too?) Took time out to read Bev’s fav Written In Red. My first Anne Bishop. Great storyline, but a couple of things did gross me out. Wolf shifters that eat humans? Really? Also, the whole cassandra sangue thing I find a bit too confronting – what she actually has to do to do her thang – those who’ve read it know what I mean. (I don’t like giving spoilers). But it was a great, imaginative, exciting story with terrific characters. Would have liked a bit more romance, though. I’d like to read more, guess, till I looked at the PRICES of the books!! Marked in Flesh is 19.99 Australian dollars. Ouch!! Sorry Ms Bishop, I didn’t like the series THAT much. Maybe the library has some of the series? I’ll check.

In the meantime, my next read might be My Commander. Or Bully?

Jan, that’s how I found Anne Bishop to begin with. It was an oooh, this is a pretty cover type thing. 🙂

Jan130! I am absolutely going to read Bully and Until You, but after LHofGann I just needed something that wasn’t upsetting and didn’t make me stabby! My husband actually asked me to STOP telling him about the book as I was reading it. He’s never ever done that before. He said he couldn’t take it.

I am loving The Commander – Bewitched and Bewildered Series so much right now. It’s perfect for shaking off the after effects of such an epic drama! I didn’t stop in the middle to recoup like you did though. You may be in better shape than I was coming out. So you might be ready for the others.

Just being helpful – not trying to sway choices or upset peanut throwers. Especially any who have started drinking! LOL!

Happy reading everyone!
