Happy Friday everyone!!! Another Friday Finds list loaded in goodies, but I will be adding more throughout the day as I find more. 🙂
P.S. I’m also making a HUGE list, but for something a little different that I’ve been asked for. Since so many of us here love beauty products, & often end up chatting about them, I’m compiling all of our “reader recommended make up and skin care products“. 😀 It’s not even close to being complete, but I’ve posted it, and I’ll be adding to that, today too. 🙂
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND  !!

• The Best Friend by K. Larsen <— K. LARSEN’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! Her life was ideal, until that one tragic mistake: “one day, just before sunrise, she went down to the docks to set up a photo shoot she’d dreamed up. She wanted to capture a colorful graffiti wall to use against the minimalist décor she had in mind for an upcoming project. But what she accidentally captured instead, was about to change her life forever. The click of her camera shutter was the last untroubled sound she heard. When a muffled scream ripped through the air, Aubry turned around. That was her first mistake…”
• TANYA: Trouble With a Capital T (The Trouble Sisters Saga Book 1) by Taylor Lee
• Beyond Touched (The Beyond Series Book 3) by Ashley Logan
• Every Ugly Word by Aimee L. Salter <— BULLIED ALERT!! Amy found us this SUPER-BARGAIN!

Amy: Every Ugly Word by Aimee L. Salter …and from what I remember it was on the intense side! She was badly bullied and I remember wanting to throat punch some people.
…It has me feeling all kinds of intense feels, much like Therapy did. She has an “older self” that she sees in the mirror who tries to guide her without telling her exactly what will happen (and her older self appears to be quite a mess), and it has before and after alternating segments…before, when she was bullied mercilessly and her best/only friend (who she secretly loves) refuses to see the extent of it because he is friends with them, and then after, where something horrible has happened. Let me tell you, I need those “after” segments to break up the anxiety-inducing “before” segments

• Ain’t Doin’ It (The Simple Man Series Book 4) by Lani Lynn Vale <— RETIRED DRILL SERGEANT & SHE’S 20 YEARS YOUNGER... “…He’s a retired army drill sergeant, so he is more than used to getting his way. And if he can’t have it his way? Well, let’s just say that’s never happened before… At least not until Cora Maldonado walks into his life, demanding he fall in line, or she’ll find a way to make his life hell...”
• Betrayed by Kelsey Cheyenne
• A Girl Like Lilac by Victoria L. James <— HE KEEPS GETTING ARRESTED FOR DEFENDING HER… “…With a desperate need to protect her from a distance, one arrest turned to two, two soon turning into three, and before Toby knew what was happening, the sleepy village of Southwold was turning against him for daring to stand up for a girl like Lilac. Beautiful Lilac with her flowers in her hair, her camera in her hands, and her sweet, pink, sugary-lipped kisses. They could hate him for loving her all they wanted. Toby was a boy who did what was right, not what was easy, and he was always going to grow to be the man willing to give her what she deserved…”
• Love Detour by Susan V. Vaughn
• Rose (Red Hot Love Series Book 3) by Elle Casey
• The One by John Marrs <— I JUST READ THIS & IT WAS absolutely thought provoking!!! AND IT’S ON SALE TODAY! There’s only one soulmate out there for each person, and science has discovered YOURS via a DNA test… would you want to find out? Here’s my book review

Tina: This sounds like my kind of book! I’ll add it to my TBR Pile – thanks for sharing 🙂
Paula: I loved this one! This is on my all time favourites list – it is so thought provoking. There is going to be a buddy read over on the GR group

• Miss InstaPrincess (Construct My Heart Book 1) by K.D. Elizabeth <— SHE’S AN INSTAGRAM MODEL RUNNING OUT OF TIME… & HE’S THE NEIGHBOR FROM HELL “…at twenty-six, she’s running out of time before the Internet moves on to a younger model. Starting her own fitness line is the perfect escape. But the thing about new companies? They kind of need a little cash. A mentor who can show Lena how to run a business wouldn’t hurt, either. Fortunately, she’s rented the house of a man who could be her perfect business partner. If she agrees to accompany him to events as his date, he might just fund her line...”
• A Boy Called L: A Taboo Love Story by Amy J. Heart <— HE’S A STREET KID & THEN HE MEETS HER… “...I want to stay alive, and a bl**job equals money which means I eat. And on the cycle goes. Until tonight when a girl who shivers in the rain, shocks my dead heart to life. This girl is everything. I don’t know her name, but I wish I did. There’s that saying—be careful what you wish for. But I had to learn the hard way, because my name is Lightning, and I don’t know what love is…“
• Unpredictable Love: Shades of Love (Trust Series Book 6) by Cristiane Serruya
• I Didn’t Expect to be Expecting (Ravinder Singh Presents) by Richa S Mukherjee
• Protecting My Commitment: Sulfur Springs Book 1 by Taylor Rylan <— M/M ROMANCE “…Collin McKenzie has trust issues. After countless bad experiences, culminating in spending over a year hidden in the closet by his ex, he decided enough was enough. He not only broke up with him, but he moved to a different state to start fresh. He loves working for the Welsh brothers and living in Wyoming puts him closer to his family. He’s sworn off men, but while attending a wedding, he sees a dark-haired man that makes him catch his breath…”

One of my assignments was to interview and write an article on two well-known hot and sexy bachelors who were self-made millionaires under the age of thirty-five. Women wanted to know why they were still single...”
