With summer just about here and the need to still stay
socially distant from the public, I know I’ll be diving into as many books as I
can. My brand new Kindle Paperwhite (the
old one died a quick and painless death) is loaded with hundreds of books (no,
I don’t have a book buying problem - one click is my friend) and I am
READY!
But what to read, what to read? I thought I’d share some of
the books I’ve really enjoyed in the past and maybe you’ll find something you
enjoy as well.
We’ll start with the always gracious Brenda Jackson.
I’ve met this lovely woman three times now and each time she has been a joy to be
with.
Her series Catalina Cove, takes place in the Louisiana Bayou. All three books are fabulous but I especially
enjoyed FINDING HOME AGAIN maybe because I’d met the characters in the earlier
books and was dying to find out what their story was.
I’m typically not one for royal or billionaire stories but I
found this one to be quite fun and sassy.
Alyssa Cole - A Princess in Theory:
Reluctant Royals. I just downloaded the
next two books to my device and I will be going on a journey very soon.
If you want a book to make you hungry, then you’ll want to
pick up THE SECRET INGREDIENT by Kilby Blades.
A chef on vacation and a handsome guy next
door who wants to learn all about cooking. This book is YUMMY all around.
PACKING HEAT -in the Blue Collar Lovers series by Zuri
Day was such a breath of fresh air. It’s so refreshing to read a book about
everyday people and everyday lives. The main characters in this book work at
the Post Office.
If you want to escape from reality you can try PRINCE OF AIR
AND DARKNESS (The Darkest Court series) by MA Grant.
It’s a m/m fantasy that takes place among the
fey. I totally fell in love with Finny and Roark. It’s part of a series but
each book surrounds a different couple. I dare you to read the first and not want
the rest!
Looking for a fun read where the characters already know
each other? Try DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD: A Perfect Fit Novel by Sugar Jamison.
This book is adorable and has the heroine falling for her sister’s ex boyfriend.
How about action, adventure and some sizzling suspense
along with a couple of sizzling guys?
Layla Reyne has a series that
follows two FBI agents on an epic hunt for justice. SINGLE MALT:
Agents Irish and Whiskey is the first books but you’ll fall hard for
Aiden and Jamison and want to see what happens next.
Kellye Garrett’s book HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE -A Detective By Day Mystery Book is a cute
story of a private investigator in the making.
Well written and a mystery to
keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s not a romance but there was definitely a
little romantic interest thrown in.
And to end things off a very sweet and innocent historical by
Lorri Dudley. THE DUKE’S REFUGE (Leeward
Island series) is an inspirational book that is extremely well written and had
me turning the pages until I got to the end.
And if you’re looking for a fun beach read in small town New
England, I’d love for you to take a look at my Storms of New England series. The
books are based on the loving Storm family but do contain some language and
steamy scenes.

đź’–TRUE DREAMS - A recovering addict in search of a quiet life. An innocent optimist seeking fame and fortune. Can she see beyond his past to heal his damaged soul?
(boss/employee, bad boy/virgin)
đź’–STOLEN DREAMS - An uptight perfectionist. A bohemian free spirit. Can she convince him a walk on the wild side is good for the soul?
(opposites attract, friends with benefits)
đź’–BROKEN DREAMS - COMING THIS AUGUST!!

DeleteThanks for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteLove sharing books I've enjoyed!
DeleteHappy birthday!!! I hope you have a good day! And let me say that this is a great list. The one that has the characters working in a post office sounds great. I love it when the author details normal, everyday life, too. I can't wait to read Broken Dreams, as well! I'll pick up some of the others in the series so I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! These books were great! I love everyday life also. Yes, read at least True Dreams before Broken Dreams since Darcy was the secondary character that wouldn't calm down. She demanded her own story!
DeleteGreat idea to share.
ReplyDeleteI love sharing!!
DeleteAn intriguing and comprehensive bunch of recommendations, Kari, thanks!
ReplyDeleteLoved them all!
DeleteYour post makes me want to grab those books and read, read, read!

ReplyDeleteThanks!! Grab one and enjoy!
DeleteHappy birthday! I loved A Princess in Theory! :)
ReplyDeleteWasn't it great? I am currently reading the next in the series!! Sassy gal and Scottish swordmaker!!
DeleteAnother Gems birthday? I hope it was great! But no - please don't give me MORE books to add to my list!! I think the hardest thing is when I finish a book and have to decide what to read next.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! Yes, I know, my Kindle is filled with so many books and yet I always love getting more!
