WEALTHY FAMILY SAGA ALERT!! Karina Halle’s latest romance-angst scandalous dramas, and book #2 JUST WENT LIVE and book #3 is already up for preorder. 😀

P.S. BIG Blurb jolt on book #1 (she’s broke and practically living on the streets and he saves her…)

About book #1:

The Riviera means indulgence—if you’ve got money. For Sadie Reynolds, a down-on-her-luck student, the Riviera means dingy hostels and back streets. When a wrong turn puts her in jeopardy, the last thing she expects is to be saved by the most handsome stranger she’s ever locked eyes with. When she later wakes up in a luxury suite with a Mediterranean view, she’s in the tender care of her rescuer: Olivier Dumont, France’s most eligible bachelor, billionaire hotelier, and heir to the Dumont fashion fortune. read more

J.T. Geissinger – Slow Burn Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

Eeeeep!! All books in this series are on sale today, and so many in our book crew absolutely LOVE this author (and I’m reading one from her as we speak!!) so I couldn’t help but put up this series post. Book #1 was actually the answer to one of our recent reader questions, in fact!

Mind you, they can all be read as standalone, but the author describes these as: “Classic fairytales get a sexy twist in these witty modern retellings.”

Cheryl: Just finished Melt For You. A slow-burn, but I loved it. Scottish rugby player and quirky American. Funny, low-angst with sigh out loud moments. read more
