Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – December 16th 2014

It’s ready!!! The new release list is up, and we have so many awesome bargain finds and reader recommendations too!

Okay first… there are some AWESOME pre-orders below. Including this one that just made me faint! LOL! Burned: Fever Series Book 7 by Karen Marie Moning. MAC IS BACK!!! OMG!!!!! Now don’t read anything else in this paragraph if you haven’t read the series yet (*slight spoiler* in the blurb). Instead, RUN AND READ THE FEVER SERIES NOW!!!! “MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A gifted sidhe-seer, she’s already fought and defeated the deadly Sinsar Dubh—an ancient book of terrible evil—yet its hold on her has never been stronger.” and then…. and then!!! “The only one Mac can depend on is the powerful, dangerous immortal Jericho Barrons, but even their fiery bond is tested by betrayal.” <— WHOA! *thud* *squeeeeeeeee* YESSSSSSS!

Second… what I’m currently reading… it appears MichelleS has found us a gem of an author and devoured an entire series back to back (no squirreling or anything!!). Then… a few in our crew jumped on her bandwagon and loved it too. Looks like the series gets better and better with each book, and by the way she’s freaking over it, I HAD to start it. It’s this one —> Kimberly Stedronsky’s “Roam” Series. Check out her BIG love for it (it’s a LONG post but so fun to read), and I dare you to resist!! Here’s a sample of what she said:

“SQUEEEEEE!!! yay – I just finished – I actually called in sick today- I kid you not. I couldn’t sleep. This book had me in knots. It was fan-freaking-tastic. 5 stars!!!”

LOL! How could I resist THAT? So far, book #1 (Roam) is very good, and I’m confident it only gets better from here.

Oh! And then when MichelleS found out the author had another series (Kimberly Stedronsky’s Movie Trilogy), she jumped in and went crazy again! YAY US!!!:D And you guys know as well as I do, MichelleS is kinda picky. 😉 We have similar tastes so I think I’m in for a couple of weeks of goooooood reading.

Now… below… what looks extra good to me? Just a Little Crush (’cause Kostantina is loving the angst), Inspire (she’s an immortal muse, and just wants to find “normal” – normal man, not an artist – and she can inspire art… or madness). Eeeeeep! What Matters Most (The Billionaire Bargains) (she accidentally? marries him in Vegas, but he can’t remember it!), Around The Bend (OH YES THIS ONE!! (She’s wealthy, with what appears to be a perfect life, but has secrets that unravel her!!), Savaged (recluse alert!!! He hires women, but all “interactions” must be in the dark), In His Shadow (trying to live a safe, normal life, but this man of dangerous intrigue spins her world upside-down)… YES PLEASE!!!

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere). 

BARGAINS & READER RECOMMENDATIONS (NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order).

• Just a Little Crush by Renita Pizzitola <— Kostantina is loving it! “Hey Maryse! I had to take a second and post on your page about this awesome book I’m reading!!!

• Tainted Love by Ghiselle St. James <— It’s the new release of book #2 (below) that had me immediately investigating book #1… This one! I think it gets dark. Here’s a mini bit of the blurb to give you an idea (but #2’s blurb definitely had me squirming). “Ben Hayes is the demanding C.O.O. who is hell-bent on having me for himself. But, I’m wrong for him. I know it, the universe knows it. If he ever found out who I really am, how utterly tainted I am, he wouldn’t waste his time wanting me…“

Hazy from his injuries, all he can focus on is the pulse ticking in her throat and the sweet allure of her blood. One single bite reveals she is his eternal mate, triggering a bond between them that will leave him weakened until it is completed… or broken, and pulling Olivia into the crossfire of his ancient feud…“
• Rev (Bayonet Scars Book 3) by JC Emery <— BIKER BOOK on super sale (thanks Aimee!)
• The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery <— RECLUSE ALERT! Back on the list ’cause so many of our fellow readers love it, and it’s been floating on my TBR list for awhile. I need to get to this one! Plus, we just got two more great recommendations for hermit/recluse books below! 😀 YAY US!!!!

Danette: Vixen and the Vet…OMG!.. it was fantastic! Easy 5 stars! Has that Archer feel & will keep you up well past your bedtime. I actually FELT that “new relationship buzz” reading this. Actually I felt all the emotions reading this.. just fabulous! Will be hunting other books from this author Katy Regency asap!

Lauren: Have you read Savaged by Nacole Stayton? Its similar to Vixen & the Vet but a bit darker. the main male character (billionaire, kind of an a-hole, manwhore) was attacked outside of a club one night & almost killed….was left with a massive scar down the side of his face, he never leaves his house….actually everyone thinks he’s dead…hires “female companionship” but they have to be in total darkness & can’t touch him. He ends up hiring a college student to “stay” with him for a couple months….she needs the money for her sick grandmother….ok, i wont tell you anymore. just read it!!

Nancy: If you liked The Vixon & the Vet by Katy Regnery then you should try Broken (A Redemption Novel Book 1) by Lauren Layne & it was reduced…. I’m reading it & it is really good.
