Following my heart, one book at a time...
I could not WAIT to make this list, considering I’ve always been on a little bit of a “hermit hero” kick. And while there may be a plethora of cocky “book bad-boys” out there (taming them and the wild ride getting there is always fun), hermit romance books are kinder of hard to come by.
Candace: I one clicked Archers Voice on your recommendation and LOVE LOVED IT. I saw that you have an affinity for hermit lol. Can you suggest some more books along the same lines?
Amy has one for us! I think I read this one, only just a few months ago. Two actually, are coming to mind (similar genres, reclusive men, destruction or upset over creations), but one is in the mountains/woods, and the other is her parents beach rentals.
She asks:
I have over 2,000 books and can’t remember the title of a recluse where the girl goes to stay at a house in the beach and after watching the H salivate but she becomes intrigued.
Eventually she gets under his skin and get together,

This is sort of a reader question… or should I say a reader recommendations request, but I couldn’t help but turn this into a list.
Chloë: I have a favor to ask, do you think you and your followers could recommend a few books to read? I go on holiday soon and i’m completely stuck 
Some of my favourite authors and characters are Sherrilyn Kenyon (Nykyrian), J R Ward (Zsadist) and S C Stephens (Kellan Kyle). I love a good wounded alpha male. Please help!
Oooooh book-catnip alert! Delicious sounds…. delicious. 😉 He’s scarred, and reclusive, and… in love with her. :D!!
<— Author Cybill Cain is this week’s newsletter sponsor, and she’s having a HUGE sale on this SEXY Christmas-themed romance!! Only $0.99 cents today, while we continue to celebrate this awesome Holiday!! Plus, she’s sent over an excerpt for us to “taste-test” it. See what I did there? 😛
She says:
“This Christmas love story is so hot you’ll forget it’s cold outside. Grab the cookies and the nog, put the phone on silent and prepare to be seduced by Delicious.”
❤Let Cybill tuck you in tonight. ❤
Tragic (Lark Cove Book 3)
<— THIS ONE’S GOING LIVE AT MIDNIGHT!!!! And I was delighted to get an early review copy (this author’s writing and alpha males are spot on and right up my alley).
And I was especially delighted when it featured a moody, big huge grump of a reclusive hero… who just happened to be her new neighbor. GAH!! I LOVE GRUMPY NEIGHBORS. Er… in books. Always and only in books (P.S. My neighbors are really awesome. I love my neighborhood!!). But boy do I love that kind of book drama. 😉
Someone Else’s Ocean
Kate Stewart’s latest JUST WENT LIVE and I had the pleasure of reading an early copy over the weekend!!
It was gentler on us than some of her past super-angsty books that had us in a frenzy, but it sure had it’s share of pull-pull, kindle-throwing moments, and of course… a seriously angsty moment that had my heart in my throat.
So what’s it about?
Koti has been living life on an island renting beautiful vacation houses to tourists, and loving her uncomplicated, and very single life. Having run from her high stress, demanding world, she’s finally found a semblance of peace living on the beach, and helping make visitors happy… even if for just a few weeks. That is, until Ian (her childhood friend that she hasn’t seen in ages) shows up in the vacation home right next door to hers, kicking up a storm.
