Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – February 2nd 2016

Marsye, Blank Slate by Tiffany Snow is . 99 today sounds interesting.

Grave Visions by Kalayna Price came out today. I’ll probably get it today or tomorrow.

FYI, And After is just a mean book. It made me cry!

Who has read the Elle Kennedy series above? Can it be read as stand alone?

Karina Halle has a release 2/15 but on preordered in itunes only now
The Lie – Brigg’s story

Thank you for including Always Room for Cupcakes in your post! 🙂

Real by Katy Evan’s is $1.99 today. Remington Tate well forever be my number 1 book boyfriend!

So many books, so little time…..my TBR list right now is taunting me!

So what to read next…..these are my choices, Beautiful Burn, The Baller, Low, or Fighting Solitude……can’t decide! Anyone?

I’ve not read a single one, but Fighting Solitude!

Okay, this is the sad truth. The last two deaths all I can think is, bummer. That’s it. I think some deaths are becoming a little less sad after the main death I’ve read so far.

Jean, Remi, be still my heart. I’ve only read The Baller of those you listed. I liked it. Maryse has reviews up for The Baller as well as Low. That might help you decide.

Tiffany Snow has Power Play on sale for $1.99 book one in her new series with #3 coming out this month

Jean – I’m reading Kings Rising (Book 3 Captive Prince). And I am only at 3% and I am already shouting out “OH MY GAH”….. Bev – I love this series. Thanks for the rec and for the BR.

Stupid book. Jean I’m reading And After by Sarah Lyons Fleming. A great 5 star book that needs to be kicked a lot. It’s stupid and mean.

Finished Chasing Spring. I really liked it even though I felt overwhelmingly sad and somewhat anxious thru most of it. No sexy times to speak of. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending. Such a build-up and then *poof* the end. An epilogue would have been nice.

Now I need something lighthearted. Maybe Wicked Sexy Liar or Always Room For Cupcakes.

Omg Tessa! I didn’t realize what you were reading! Yeah, Amy coerced me into reading that too! *here’s an extra blankie* But, I did love it and will never forget the entire series! So Long Lollipops was great in itself!

Coerced you? WTH??

I did no such thing. 😛

Believe me Amy, I thank you for the coercing!

Fabi….”dinner recipes”…..blahaha! That’s too funny!

Amy’s a book bully, she made me read Therapy… I went thru a gigunda box of puffs plus and ate my weight in Godiva last night. At one point I wiped my nose with a candy bar wrapper…SMDH, I have no shame. It’s all Amy’s fault. Book bully, I tell you. So *whistles while trying not to appear too interested* what is this life altering book that will probably make me go to work looking like a washed out hooker, complete with mascara trails? And does anyone have it to share LOL?

Starting Captive Prince #3 tonight! I cant believe its finally here! I am freaking out!!!

*takes the blankie* Thank you Jean!

Is the last one going to end how I think? Because, if so, really? Geesh.

OMG…OMG…turnabout is fair play. Hear that, Tessa and Grey? The so-called book bully is getting her due. I’m about to curl up in the fetal position in the blankie fort. Where the F%&$ is Manny?!?

Y’all suck, by the way…*I’m* not the bully, the bullies are in my book, and my book is working me over.

*side-eyes Fabi* No gloating, m’kay? Just don’t. Just give me snuggles.

Aww… Amy… *tucks blankie around your legs and snuggles in next to you with 3 bottles of wine and 2 boxes of chocolate, calling Tessa with a not so subtle stage whisper*

Why only 2 you ask? Well after last night, I thought if I want my pants to fit, I need to cut back a bit *shrug* We Love You Amy, You Awesome Book bully!

So I actually started Love the Way You Lie by Skye Warren. But then I’m totally gonna follow you all down the path to my destruction, after all, you said free…

*drink

I may have sampled the tray before walking over. :-/

Sharon, we told you to hang in there. No skimming, all that extra fluff becomes important.

*snuggles into Grey*

*takes jello shot from Fabi*

Love you guys. 😉

“If you drunk enough…” <—– *snort*

erm, She became someone I could emphathize with, not someone who suddenly had sympathy for people.

Cheryl…soooooo, are you sayin’ you’ll give Therapy or EUW a shot? 😛

And DG…I’m thiiiiiis close *pinches thumb and forefinger* to calling EUW a rec. I have to finish it before I can give it a final seal of approval. You do realize that you’re spreading the insanity by telling them that, right? 😉

Just want to say that I am LOVING this fun little read – Always Room for Cupcakes! An h who takes pics of some kinky situations, a great bestie who owns a bakery (love some cupcakes!!!!), potential dangerous situation which the biker alpha hottie may or may not end up rescuing the h! Oh, did I mention the alpha biker hottie likes some kink too?!?! *whew, swipes forehead* Yep, I’m All In!

Pictures of the kinky hot alpha male? Sign me up please DG. 😉

Jean- I saw your post and wanted to tell you Real and Mine are all time favorites! I read Baller and really liked it, I saw on this list Aurora Rose Reynolds had a book out today but I couldn’t find it in the Kindle store so I am reading the new Roxie Rivera. It’s ok. But! I just wanted to pop a quick note to Maryse and say thank you for posting these lists and blurbs. I check your site almost every day but always first thing Tuesday mornings and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the list! This little group has become my sole source for what to read next and I love all the cray comments. I will probably re read Real now because Jean reminded me how much I loved it. Carry on ladies and Thank You!!

Oh,oh *jumping up and down with hand in the air*. Remy! Remy! Yes…Please! One of my fav hot, misunderstood alpha book boyfriends!

Megan – the new Aurora Rose Reynolds book is on Amazon but only in one format!!! paperback!!! Even though I love to feel the paper pages – I am too impatient- I always want to read it now.

Yeah. There’s a common theme with all of those books too. The H or the one I’m rooting for are all a**h****. *sighs* Not one exception to that rule.

For realz (ha!) it doesn’t get much better than Remy.

Oh and KA….re read several of her books.

Amy – I’m talking fluffy buttercream icing piled high on my cupcake kinda cupcake! Or a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing. *patting belly* yummy!

Fabi – hunting down the pictures…… ;o)

Amy you are my barometer for unmanageable angst. If EUW is kicking your a&*$ I am steering well clear.
I need unicorns and rainbows and sunflowers (with a little bit of smexy smut on the side).
I just cant find the courage to read those books that make my throat close and hands tremble just thinking about them.
God I’m coming out in hives just imagining it.
I only managed Indebted and Captive in the Dark cos I was clueless going in.
sticking with Christina Lauren and Lauren Gilley for a bit….they’re kind to my poor cowardly heart 😉

Where is Bev? I want to know if you’re reading Forget/ Blur yet?

Pleased I’m not the only one Fabi 🙂

DG, that’s one of mine too. I really don’t like it when years are lost.

Adding Always Room for Cupcakes to my never ending reading list. 🙂

Fabi – I don’t think you can go wrong with this one! Loved her qwerkiness! I mean have you read a book yet with a shoe horn reference?!?!

Definitely Jean. Remy is the the perfect ultimate broken hero for you isn’t he?

I have seen that video and he does look yummy! On the note of that video, though. Is it me or is the female breathy voice coming back? I’ve heard a LOT of that recently and I gotta admit, I don’t like it at all. That song works because she uses a normal voice too, but I’m so hoping that thing isn’t back. *shudders*

So, this Bullet book. I think I have a definite dislike with books: back and forth present and past. It ruins a lot of the angst for me. This one started like that and I sincerely hope it doesn’t continue. I even hate that prologue where they show how angsty it will be later. It’s gotten to the point where I’ll skip that totally. I want the full adventure angst twist, not ‘This happened. Now for why it is angsty’, *steps off soap box*

Ladies I just finished Fighting Solitude by Aly Martinez…put it at the top of your TBR lists…it was AMAZING!!! 5 star read for me!

So my tablet is happy trying to charge after a night of forgetting to plug it in. I decided to read On Dublin Street and OMG, I see why people love it! I don’t know what angsty might come along, but the wroting and the humor and the characters and the emotions…. Lots of great ‘and the’s. To all the people who made it their favorite ever (Andrea, Bethany, Dana)… Thank you!

Well, Amy I did purchase Therapy (ok it was free). Remind me again, what is EUW. Too lazy to scroll up and figure it out!

Just got an email that a kindle update is coming. I think after all my bitchin saturday when they screwed up my kindle they have made some changes especially for me.*well that’s what I’m going with anyway*–>

“Personalized Home Screen:Your new Home screen brings forward your most recent reads, samples you’ve downloaded, items on your Amazon Wish List, relevant book recommendations, and more.” Yeh, now my wish list is there so I can keep up with what I want to read next. *throws out spreadsheet*

Well, now I’m crying and screwing up my freshly applied makeup. That’s what I get for watching the trailer right before I need to leave.

Dammit.

Gah, that book was SO beautiful!!!!

I’m glad I watched it after I had my picture taken for my passport renewal. Would hate that pic to follow me for ten years!! Although a close-up 2 x 2 pic at my age is not pretty no matter how you do it. I probably drove the lady crazy with my scream, ok, somewhat quiet shriek when she showed me the first pic. It’s amazing what delusions you have about how you look vs. how you really look in a picture. Then I debated smile vs. not smile, which one shows less wrinkles at the eyes vs. scary mug shot. She’s probably at a bar drinking now.

Cheryl, I meant that the bumblebee tights make an appearance in After You. 😉 I just think they were the cutest thing and so fitting for her character. And by bittersweet twist, I don’t mean *my* kind of twist where it’s a gut punch or anything…it’s a neat little twist, but it’s still bittersweet.

Is Emilia Clarke perfect for that role or what?!? She’s so goofy!

Tessa I loved the Dublin St series. Great books.
Yes there is ALWAYS room for cupcakes DG…pass that plate over here!
(And always room for a Hemsworth too).

*passing the cupcake plate to Cheryl and Lisa*. Since I’m passing the cupcakes, please pass me the Hemsworth! *wink*. Those brothers are like a triple threat!

OH, thanks Amy. Yes, she is perfect for the role and *sigh* the bumblebee tights.

Now need some alcohol and cupcakes to get past the “feels” from thinking about Me Before You. Poor Sam Claflin has played some heartbreaking characters with quite the finale.

*sneaks off to watch trailer again*

yes Maryse, what Paper book?

And should I watch the trailer… or read the book???

I got my grubby little paws on book 3 Falling Away Tessa!!! I’m so excited! *happy wiggle* I will have finished the Jared and Tate saga. I know this one is about Jax and KC… but still…

For reals??? I may need to just permanently attach a kleenex to my face. Walk around with Manny attached to me if I read anymore sad books. Get my PhD in psychology…do my thesis in grief counseling… guyssss *whine* *pout, pout, pout* *bangs on the microphone* Is this thing on???

Bueller??? Is anyone listening to me?

No? Hmph….

Fine. I’m reading Falling Away first, because, well… it’s a sickness at this point, and a loan, so I have to. LOL! Then, if I’m strong… maybe, I’ll read Me Before You. But I’m not sure me… or my tear ducts, or my Kleenex (read wine budget) can take it…

Grey, it sounds like we need to buy Kleenex in bulk! *turns head to direct guy with forklift moving mass Kleenex bundle*
*in a whining voice* Guys I don’t know if I can handle sad….I avoid sad….sad makes me sad….and thinking of what Amy has said about EUW makes me sad and scared….*pulling out the blankie*
Amy – if you have finished EUW, please tell me it has a HEA…..pretty please….I’ll throw in some ice cream to go with the cupcakes……

Michelle, I read Therapy by Kathryn Perez, It gutted me, it was amazing. 5 stars. Even though I was crying and wiping my face with candy bar wrappers…

That’s what Mason’s list is about? *moves it up on the TBR* I’m loving and adoring On Dublin Street. Probably best book so far this year and I just finished And After. .

Michelle. And After was intense, though some of the deaths I was like, and yep. Dead. Dummy. Then there were three that just hurt. Also, can we kill Oliver? Seriously, can we?

Grey, Falling Away will make Aflame make sense. I really liked that one, though I was feeling gut twisty with the Jared and Tate stuff. Also, you aren’t the only one not to read Me Before You. That’s on the sometime when I need emotion list of mine. I can do crazy tears two or three times a year, that’s it. I just read And After. I’m good to not read any for a while.

Maryse I love a good old school paperback read….kindle’s just don’t smell the same *winks*.

Mmmmm Christopher Mason. I’m casting him as one of my Dartmoor Lean Dog bikers for sure! (Jason Momoa was my big Cajun beast Mercy).

The Calpin guy….not so much. A bit to ‘college boy dimples’ for me. And possibly young enough to be my son ….which is not creepy at all. Is it?

Tessa! You would love The Mason List! But it is emotional, so just a head’s up there. 😉

DG and Grey…Me Before You is NOT one of those that will have you crying from beginning to end. It’s beautiful with great dry humor and cringe-worthy moments (I love Louisa *snort*) and it’s touching and OMG soooooo worth any tears there might be. And after you have read it *then* go and watch the trailer.

Oh, and DG…sorry my cupcake-lovin’ friend, giving away endings and spoilers are a no-no around here. 😉 Check out some reviews on Goodreads though to see if there is anything there. Or if you want to friend me on GR then I can tell you that way. 🙂

Oooooh Maryse, I do! Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless concealer. It’s AMAZING. Not cakey at all but gives great coverage.

And lookie here… *holds out iPad with both hands and wiggles it* I’m reading a TJR book too so nanny-nanny-boo-boo!!! By the way, it’s Maybe in Another Life. 😉

Fabi, I just checked and I have the first book, My Fair Assassin! 😀

Oh Michelle, Therapy will put you through just about every emotion (anger, feeling in love, heartache, all of it) but it’s GREAT! I love re-living books through y’all.

Lol Amy, would you believe I meant to ask Tessa that question? But you read some of those too. :-). I’m not gonna recommend it yet or anything because I’m still listening to it. I was just wondering if Tessa had read it and asked you instead of her.

I just finished Kings Rising *sigh* so good. It’s always a little sad to finish a great book.

My next big expected release is Morning Star on the 9th. But I have a long beta read to get to which should tie me over till then. Sorry tbr, you’ll have to keep waiting. :-/

Oh that sounds familiar! Its not Revved by Samantha Towle of the Mighty Storm fame is it? Although I dont recall the airport pick up.
I know its not Colton from Driven because they met in a broom closet.
Anyone else??

Tessa, I can’t recommend it because I’m still listening to it. You’re right, I tend to space out over some of the descriptions. But overall, I like the heroine and I’m intrigued with the plot.

Yeah, I gotta wait a week to get the rest. There is no way in H*** that I’m going to the branch that has it. They’ve already re-routed the area for the Superbowl. (I’m in Santa Clara)

Thank you!!

“Three Whole Years. I’d had a boyfriend for three whole years, and I still had more orgasms when I was by myself.” Falling Away by Penelope Douglas (Fall Away #3) *giggle*

That’s a funny one Grey.

“Though Cornelius Stevens had thumbed his nose at his father’s international conflicts since he was old enough to understand what the word war meant, the night he rescued the Austrian soldier from a pile of dead bodies was the first time his disobedience had gone as far as treason.” Clockwork Heart by Heidi Cullinan

*raises hand*

I don’t get it.

Why, Jean? Why?

Michelle! Gifted Thief is a KU item too. 😀 One with Scottish Fae, so I’m happy.

Bev & Jean….I get it. I loved the Dublin Street series. For me they were a bit like a KA book. I knew what I was getting….I could relate to characters and I wasn’t going to get slugged with a CH. Great stories.

Amy, I HIGHLY doubt MBV is a cleansing cry. It’s probably like Bright Side where at the end, you think and start sobbing all over again. 😛

Michelle, it’s good so far, but that’s not saying much. I’m on chapter 5. 😀

Michelle please please read Forget and Blur. If you loved the feels of Thoughtless you’re going to love them. Blur in particular…..the angst ramps up a notch.

What don’t you get bev? My love of the Dublin Street series? Or my total faith in Amy to pick my next book? Lol!

I love that we all have First Line Thursday and Lisa is in her own little First Line Friday club (even though it was still Thursday)! Hahaha!

So, yes, I’m loving MBY even though I haven’t gotten that far. It is totally reminding me of Rush!

“…the content has been brutal to my heart.” <—– CLICK. Thanks for that one, Michelle! 😀

Yes!!! I win!!! Wait…what do I win???

Tessa??? Are you ok? are you speaking that you were just in the hospital with appendicitis or was this in the past???

This was in the past. Sorry. When I was fourteen, I read the Sweet Valley High where Regina (my favorite character) died. Then I read the next book of her funeral. My stomach never stopped hurting from the excessive crying jag. The next day, it had moved to my right side, I got a fever, felt majorly sick and yep. Appendicitis. So, now I say SVH books gave me appendicitis. 😛 I still can’t believe they killed my favorite.

Tessa, if that is what I’m thinking of it made me cry too. Then my mom asked me what was going on. I read the death scene to her and she laughed so hard, lol.

Bev, the cocaine one? I swear, no one who read that even considered doing drugs. lol
