Latest Romance Book Releases – 02-22-2022

WEDNESDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! MARYSE’S TOP TEN BOOKS IN 2021 <— OKAY IT IS READY!!!!! Yay!! 😁 😀

HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! I’m really infatuated with today, ’cause it’s 2-22-2022 and multiple 2’s in a row is my favorite. My recurring number everywhere I look! I remember even when I’d be reading paper books or even on my Kindle, and look down after awhile and see that I was on page 222. Waking up every night without fail, at 2:22. Looking up at the clock mid day to check the time and see that it’s 2:22. And here we are again, today. What a cool date that is!

P.S. Who else has a number that keeps coming up for them? Have you looked up the meaning? Or any weird coincidence that you feel has a special message for you? I LOVE those stories.

BLURB JOLTS: The Paris Apartment (yes please!! I love thrillers, and that she goes to her brother’s apartment to stay for awhile, and he’s missing. And weird unfriendly neighbors? I’m in!!) Bully God: An Anthology <— a whole bunch of alpha-jerk stories!!, Second Chance Scandal (fake marriage between a famous romance author & a football star!), Must Love Hockey (Sarina Bowen’s latest!! He helped her after she broke out into hives!!)
