<— Okay is today the best book day in the world, or what? The new releases and even the bargains are blowing my mind!! I don’t know which to one-click and start reading first.
Well no… WE ALL know what I’m reading today, because MADDOX BROTHERS that’s why. LOL! That’s just a given. 😉 The Maddox brothers rock my world, especially one particular bad-ass brooding book boyfriend. Travis is my forever book-boyfriend. But I’m always curious if there’s another Maddox brother that can affect me as much as he did. Thank goodness he has so many brothers. More fun for me. For us!! 😀
But! There are plenty on this list that have me excited. Like these: Throb (LOL! No not just the title. She makes a contract with a billionaire but falls for his brother…), The Traveling Man (the premise of this one sort of reminds me of a Bonnie Dee “feel”, so I’m curious to see if it affects my like her books do. He’s in a traveling circus and she falls for him…), Surrender (she’s a stripper and falls for one of the bouncers. The blurb gave me a “sounds SO good” feel), Forbidden (Well…. he’s a priest, you see… ), Fear Me (He’s HER BULLY!!!), Lucas (she requests protection from the resident bad-ass, in exchange for part of her land… and marriage), Alaskan Dawn (the cover didn’t say much to me, but the blurb sure did!! She’s the surrogate for her twin’s baby…) Cartel (OMG that blurb too!! Her drug lord father messes up and SHE has to pay the price…) – actually there are a few MOB reads below that look amazing!!! And of course, a few more (I made sure to highlight ’em with my comments). 😀
P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).
P.P.S. Get Maryse’s Book Blog updates delivered by email (you’ll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
