Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – May 16th 2017

WEDNESDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! KARINA HALLE’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! (and she co-wrote Rocked Up: A Novel with her husband). :D!!! ROCK STAR ALERT! ➔➔➔➔➔➔

She’s auditioning for the band…

“I’ve been watching him since I was a teenager.

HAPPY NEW RELEASE DAY!!! The biggest and craziest of the week (and looking at THIS one… maybe of the month!). In fact… just that one there to the left should give you an idea of todays book release awesomeness!!! Many of our original-indie favorites are here, including one that rocked my world a few years ago, ( and so MANY of my fellow readers, Tiffanie DeBartolo). OH EM GEE. I need to read this book!!!!

Tessa: I have no idea what I’m going to read today… I want it to be tomorrow. Fallen Crest FOREVER!  Yet, until then, um… no idea what to read.

Grey: Tessa… Fallen Crest Forever ~ Tomorrow?!? *Squee* and I’m gonna have an easy-ish day tomorrow and I’m off Wednesday. But… *pout* I’m not ready for it to be over… *sniffle*

So what am I extra excited for on this list? Eeeeeep!! SO EASY! The Simplicity of Cider (sounds sweeeeeeet – a woman just trying to live a simple life on her farm, and the single father, and young son that shows up there. Plus I hear the other two books in this series are awesome!!), God-Shaped Hole (one of our original tear-jerker classics just got picked up by a big publisher, and re-released with a  new cover, and I haven’t read it yet, even though I’ve owned the original ebook AND the original print book for years). I can’t WAIT to read it, so now that’s it’s re-released, I’ve officially selected my NEXT book that I’m starting tonight. YAY ME!!! The Wright Boss (K.A. Linde’s latest, and I love office romance stories!!), and Plus One (more office romance fun and it’s Aleatha Romig’s latest that sounds totally different than what she’s written in the past) AND!!! Gwendy’s Button Box (STEPHEN KING!!! MINE MINE MINE!!!! Omg that blurb gave me the heebie-jeebies and I’ve waiting for it and it’s now LIVE!!!)

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