Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – October 22nd 2013

<— Okay so yesterday I was “out of the internet commission” while I read this new release (Making Faces by Amy Harmon) and I barely put it down (except for a mini-nap) which just refreshed me enough to stay up until 3am to finish it. I even dreamt of it all night. Now, though… my brain is in book-zombie mode (me not so coherent…). 😉 UPDATE: I became coherent again (coffee’ll do that!) 😉 and now my review is up!!!

So here are the LATEST BOOK RELEASES (including some great-looking bargains and reader recs, too!). Some we’ve been waiting for, and some “new-to-me” that look GREAT!

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any.

• Holding On (Lights of Peril) by A.C. Bextor <— new biker book (thanks Sarah!) Not so sure about the cover but the blurb intrigues me (especially the MINE” quote). 😉 Kimberly JUST posted her own recommendation of this saying: “Whoever it was that posted about the release of the new MC book Holding On (lights of Peril). My heart is wrenching right now. Loved the book. I can’t wait until the second. Bring tissues. Also it has some disturbing situations in it so it may not be for you. They are very few and far between and they are not strung out. This ending gutted me. Thanks for recommendation if you haven’t read it Maryse I think you would like it“
