Happy NEW RELEASE DAY!! Yet another big day of book-fun and I’m still working on the list as we speak. But, like usual, I’ve already got a bunch that look awesome below, so take a look. I highlighted a bunch below with my “alerts”. 🙂

P.S. I READ A BOOK that I absolutely LOVED LIKE CRAZY. Drove me NUTS and I couldn’t put it down and I was so excited and my stomach hurt and my heart hurt and the titillation was *whooooooo!!!!* So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Ground Rules by Roya Carmen (and will be writing the review shortly, and for me? It’s 5 stars because of all that it made me feel, and just how good the whole thing was).

In the meantime, here’s a silly little “video-review/my reactions” to The Ground Rules, to give you an idea. 😛
———————–>

JUNE 24th 2015 UPDATE!!! A FEW ADD-ONS!!

• Identity Crisis by Rochelle Paige <— sounds exciting and crazy!! He’s ex-military and his ex girlfriend is in trouble, and so in a reclusive author that has NO idea she’s in trouble. Mistaken identity? “Delia returns home completely unaware that the police believe she’s been murdered. With Delia alive and his ex still missing, Blaine has the skills and connections to find out exactly what happened and keep Delia safe.”
• Scattered Ashes (Shattered Promises, #4) by Jessica Sorensen
• Salvation by Ahren Sanders <— both trying to overcome emotional scars…
• Escaping Parker by  F.T. Zele <— escaping her dangerous abusive husband… and meets someone willing to help but… “He doesn’t mix business with pleasure, and he didn’t expect to fall in love with the girl he is hiding out.”

   

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