BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! WE’RE UP TO 16 NEW EARLY RELEASES!!!!!
HOLY MOLY we’re having an awesome Monday again!!!! These earlybird surprise releases look as good as tomorrow’s list is gonna be (I posted them below, too).
And then… yesterday?? It was crazy in surprise releases, too so I’ve reposted them here, in case you missed them. In fact there were three from yesterday’s list and now three more from today’s that I want to read so badly. Immediately.
LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!!
- The Wright Brother by K.A. Linde <— JUST WENT LIVE!!!! SHE ONCE DATED HIS BROTHER… and now that she’s back in town, “...I couldn’t resist our charged chemistry, or the way he fit into my life like a missing puzzle piece. Too bad he’d forgotten the one thing that could destroy us. Because Jensen Wright doesn’t share. Not with anyone. And if his brother finds out, this could all go down in flames...”
- Cole by Tijan <— TIJAN ALERT!!!!! HER LATEST MAFIA ROMANCE JUST WENT LIVE EARLY! “…Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed. That was just the beginning.He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him…”
- Undeclared (Burnham College Book 2) by Julianna Keyes <— IT’S LIVE!!!!!! I went crazy for book #1, and now there’s more. YAY ME!!!! Both can be read as standalones, but I suggest reading #1, too, if you haven’t yet. It’s got that awesome old-school new adult feel. “…Kellan thought he’d moved past that last summer’s heartbreak, but with Andi sitting next to him in class, befriending his friends, and battling for the same once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity, he’s starting to remember why he hated her…and why he loved her. Kellan has a long list of reasons that falling for Andi again is a terrible idea, though every new moment together challenges that theory. But Andi’s all too familiar with Kellan’s love ’em and leave ’em approach—and she’s found someone else to get serious about...” P.S. Here’s my review for book #1
- Making Changes by Lila Rose <— LIVE!! SHE’S LEAVING HER HUSBAND & STARTING OVER… “This is my chance to begin again, to rip my backbone out and yell, “I’ve found it.” It may take time, it may take new friends, a job and even a jerk of a boss who is annoyingly handsome, but I will get there…”
- Something in the Way by Jessica Hawkins <— LIVE!!! SHE’S TOO YOUNG FOR HIM… OMG!!! This sounds angsty as all get out!!!!!!!!!! Older “blue collar” man, and they go CRAZY for each other upon sight, but she’s too young and then… “…no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next…” <— OOOMPH!! BLURB JOLT ALERT!!
- Mr. Popular: A Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend Romance by Nicole London <— LIVE!! SHE HATES HER BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND ALERT!!! “We became friends–close friends, but right when I thought he could possibly turn into my everything, he made it clear that what we had was nothing. Now that’s he’s a senior, and I only have to deal with him for one more year, I’ve vowed to keep repeating the same set of rules to myself. Especially since he seems so hell-bent on wanting to talk to me for some reason, and especially since he seems to be staring at me every time we’re in the same room together…“
- Blackbird (Redemption Book 1) by Molly McAdams <— MOLLY MCADAMS ALERT!!! HE’S BROKEN DARK ROMANCE READ (and he’s buying her… He’s dark and damaged and he’s there to BUY her… “I’ve perfected the lethal calm required for this life. Now it’s time to buy my first girl. But all it takes is one look at the brave girl who starts singing mid-auction for that calm to slip. Briar Chapman is going to be the death of me, and I don’t care. I’ll take every day with her until that death comes, and I’ll welcome it
- Lines Drawn by Ker Dukey <— LIVE!!! KER DUKEY ALERT!! I have NO clue what this blurb means but it sounds angsty!! “One phone call. One secret. One moment changed us all. Everything is different now and learning to survive all over again comes with a price…“
- Don’t Speak (a modern fairytale Book 5) by Katy Regnery <— LIVE!! KATY REGNERY’S LATEST JUST WENT LIVE!! Oh wow! I’m dying to know the terrifying depths of the secrets!!! That part of the blurb gave me a jolt for sure! Small town girl meets worldly man… “The two spend a whirlwind summer together that ends on the knife-point of heartbreak and forces them to go their separate ways. Years later, when fate finds them together once again, they will discover the terrifying depth of the secrets they kept from each other…“
- From A Distance by L.M. Carr <— LIVE!!! SHE JUST LOST HER HUSBAND & A MOTORCYCLE RACER ALERT! “…when tragedy strikes, Karrie is devastated and left to face the consequences of her husband’s deepest, darkest secrets. Discovering the strength to carry on while making important, life-changing decisions, she finds herself desperate for answers. And holding the key to the puzzle is the one man she loathes immensely…“
- The Hot One by Lauren Blakely <—LAUREN BLAKELY’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! LOL!!! sounds all like sorts of infuriating fun! He went to her work NAKED to try and get her back… “The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life…”

She’s about to marry a twin, but he doesn’t show up at the altar (*gasp*), so his identical twin brother (her best friend) steps in!!! <— (*double gasp*!!!!) “She always knew she’d wind up marrying one of them, and Jacob Adams is the epitome of Mister Right. At least until he fails to show up for their wedding. As Jacob’s best man, and identical twin, Matt makes a split-second decision that will affect the three of their lives forever—he steps in to take his brother’s place. In front of the altar, exchanging vows with the woman he’s secretly been in love with for years. But Cora finds out about the groom swap. The morning after the wedding…”
- End of Eden (Se7en Sinners Book 2) by S.L. Jennings <— LIVE!!! S.L. JENNINGS ALERT!! This is the sequel to book #1 (she was created for death & destruction and this part of the blurb doesn’t spoil anything ’cause it’s sort of similar to blurb #1): “I thought I knew what Hell was like. I thought I had been living it all these years on Earth—abandoned, forgotten, and left with a dangerous secret that not only made me the Se7en’s #1 target but also turned me into a deadly weapon, a threat to every human in my path. I was wrong…“
- Sexy Six by Ahren Sanders <— LIVE!!! FOOTBALL STAR ALERT! “NFL Golden boy, Super Bowl MVP, and the league’s hottest player–on and off the field. To most, I’m a celebrity, with the records to prove it. Fame, fortune, family… I’ve got it all. Except Grace Monroe…”
- Sweet Victory (Fighting for Love) by Gina Maxwell <— SHE HAS TO GET MARRIED FOR HER INHERITANCE & HE’S A FIGHTER ALERT!!! “He’s on the brink of a comeback that could make him a UFC champion, but his landlord wants to take away his last chance by shutting down his gym. Hell, no. Fortunately, his landlord’s niece has a problem of her own. Time for a proposal she can’t refuse…“
- Dark Protector by Celia Aaron <— HE’S A KILLER & HE’S OBSESSED WITH HER ALERT!! “From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me.

First again!! Is everybody sleeping?
I need to read Katy Regnery. I keep hearing good things.
C.D. Breadner’s latest Red Rebels MC book “Shelter” was released this weekend I think. I LOVE this series! Breadner is up there with Lauren Gilley and Madeline Sheehan for MC books in my opinion!
HOLY MOLY!!!! Undeclared, Making Changes, Something in the Way, Lines Drawn, Don’t Speak, From a Distance, Mr. Wrong…*THUNK*
I think I just had a bookgasm.
Monday’s seem to be the new Tuesdays???
Robin, I really liked her The Vixen and the Vet.
Lol I got End of Eden last night. Some details from the first we’re sketchy in my mind, so I’m enjoying rereading it first. 😀 I forgot just how angsty it is!
Tomorrow’s list… I just can’t. Nope. That’s pure insanity.
I quit. Seriously, what the f with this list, Maryse? What was I thinking??? Seriously I should have given up eating before buying books…
R. I’ve only read one of hers, Never Let You Go. 5 stars a D very Marmy.
Oh, and yeah. When you posted first, I probably was asleep. 😛
Oh Tessa! I loved that one too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The name Ker Dukey ALONE gives me the chills and hairs stand on my arms!
Devil in Spring came out last week – it was great!
Looks like there will be a lot of Birthday pressies for me tomorrow!
OOOH a birthday tomorrow! On a Tuesday. That’s always a good book day too. I’m not saying anything until tomorrow, though. Nope. 😛
I looked at the non mobile site and I was wrong. I was awake then! Only for an hour at that point, but I was technically awake.
Hey Bev!!!! Guess what I am reading (well, listening to)?!?!
Dumplin’!!!!
I hardly ever do “sweet YA” but I needed something to listen to while doing chores and it was available at library.
I’m definitely earning BFF credits today. 😉
If I haven’t already said it – The Butterfly Project is a beautiful story. Nothing too angsty – but Beckett is a must have book boyfriend.
Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa Trailer Park Trash is a classic 🙄 😳
I meant TRAILER PARK VIRGIN
Thanks for the recs! I hate it when I comment and forget to actually sign up for followups! I was like, man it’s quiet today!
OMG Ela… *snort*
The Other Woman by Jane Green is 1.99 normally 9.99 (the “other woman” isn’t who you would think it is ;)) and Local Girls is also 1.99 normally 11.99…the average rating is t very high but that doesn’t always matter. Click!
*high fives Leslie*
Whoot.
The ebook is on super sale today. 1.99.
You guys!!! Carina Cole, the author of Torn, just “liked” my review of her book on Goodreads! Eek! Fan-girling over here. I didn’t realize that people who weren’t my friends could read my reviews?!? And… I feel bad now about my reviews of her other books! Ugh.
Carian Cole – stupid auto correct…
Julie – like Sheehan & Gilley? You’ve got my attention.. going to check out that MC series! Yay me
MichelleS is your account private? If it isn’t anybody can read your reviews, comment, like, etc.
Bev, the audio is excellent!
No. Just NO. This cover. Dude is pasty and looks like he got a farmer’s sunburn.
https://www.amazon.com/Mated-Beast-Interstellar-Brides-Book-ebook/dp/B01JAPMIC8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1488227347&sr=1-1&keywords=Mated+to+the+beast
*That’s* your problem with this book???
*thinks about it*
Yep R…I can’t get past the cover. 😕
I can’t get past the title.
Speaking of Dumplin’…I know it’s a little late in the day, but it’s on sale for 1.99 for today only. 😉
*snicker* That poor book doesn’t have a chance with us.
I’m glad to hear that Leslie, as I don’t listen to audiobooks. It is hard then to rec that version of a book as readers are particular over their narrator.
MichelleS said it was pretty authentic to Texas as well. That was coll because when you read about a place you never really know.
MichelleS, I recently DNF ‘ D one of hers, first of hers I tried to read. The hero was calling the heroine Toots.
Bev, no audiobooks? You dont know what you are missing!!! If you can get them free from library, they are AWESOME! Did you say you have long commute to work? Its perfect for that.
Bev, we should make a the non audio book club. 😛 Everyone else is listening but us. 😀
I’m liking End of Eden. Nikolai just appeared from the Mageri series, so that’s a plus. this is definitely disturbingly disgust.
Tessa, you’ll have to let me know if this one ends on a CH like the first one did.
Speaking of audio books. I am still FLOVING Keystone. I think Nicole Poole may be the best narrator I have ever listened to!
I don’t do audio either. *snicker*
Ok. I wouldn’t be surprised if it does.
Oh yeah Amy. That’s a bad cover alright. Terrible title too. There are some true shockers out there.
I’ll join that non-audio club too. Nuthin against audio lovers. I just… don’t do it.
No, the only one I listened to was David Sedaris. It was really good.
But that is him reading his own work. I tried another and fell asleep, lol.
Not another of his but a fiction book.
Haha, I LOL’d at the cover, but more over you and R’s reactions, Amy!
So, I said I’d update every Sunday on BLL show and I missed it last night, but caught up tonight and OMG! Lol the drama, heat, everything is turned up in this episode! It’s like I get to relive the whole book and I love it! I love all the actors, honestly, even the kids! (Little Chloe and Ziggy) All the snark and angst has my cackling and clapping my hands. And the little interview snippets too. So far, I’d say it’s a must watch. Is anybody else here watching the show?! Oh and I love this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=62iOcrKHG6Q
What’s BLL?
Big Little Lies
It’s so quiet! Is everybody waiting for their books to hit their kindles?
Fabi – is narrator doing accents too?
Speaking of accents, when author says someone has a British accent, I try doing it in my head for like a minute. Too much concentration, so I just stop. Anyone else?
AMY THAT cover AND title is just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Plus shouldn’t the H be at least attractive with muscles? And not pudgy?????
I sent Maryse a message about God-Shaped Hole and she’s not answering, I wonder if she already forgot about our BR?
LOL Ela.
Not forgotten… promise!
I just noticed now that in old post Nay is in hospital!!!!!
MichelleS, let’s only talk with English accents on her today.
Ela….check behind our chum Amy.
She may be hiding behind her.
Right. Right.
Lol, whenever someone has an English accent or something I can’t stop talking like that in my head. And sometimes for a while after I find myself saying a word here and there. It sticks with me.
Oh Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you step aside???? No? Well MOVE and don’t you dare cover for Maryse! It is YOU who recommended God-Shaped Hole….
I think it’s funny to Yoda-Speak!!!!
https://www.yodaspeak.co.uk/
*stumbles after being pushed aside by Ela*
*huffs*
Well, it IS a great book.
Psst…Maryse!! If you’re not reading GSH…RUN!!! Ela is on the hunt for you!
*snort*
I’m in birthday blog celebration mode, people!!!!! :D!!!
LOL!
Okay “what I’m reading” will come soon… and yes I think GSH is next and now… I’ve just got so many options and so many that I want to read I’m FREAKING OUT. 😛
MichelleS…I’m with you. British accents take too much concentration while reading. 😉
*steadies Amy* *Runs after Maryse*
Oi!
Let Maryse be she might just be Undeclared in what she wants to read next.
I just hope whatever she’s reading is giving her butterflies…
Ohhh R. Butterflies. See? I have 6. And GSH.
*sigh*
Now now Maryse, let’s not be drastic, step away from the other books and shinies! YOU HAVE COMMITED YOURSELF TO GSH – YOUR WORDS “NO SQUIRRELING”
Happy Birthday R!
Happy birthday Robin!!!!
Happy blog birthday Maryse!!!
Has anyone heard from Nay? Hoping we have a new heart in place and all is going well…
It’s not my birthday? Where did that come from? I’ll take it though! Will there be cake shots?
I could TOTALLY use a birthday shot right now. 😉 It’s noon. It’s time. 😛
Ooooh different Robyn. I’ll still take a shot though 😉
HAPPY HAPPY BLOG BIRTHDAY….WHICH ROBIN IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY? HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN THAT’S HAVING A BIRTHDAY.
I hope Renee is ok as well!
That’s what I thought Robin but here’s a cake shot anyway…
Whoa you guys spread rumors fast! I’m glad Robyn isn’t pregnant with an alien love child.I’d never live that one down!
Is it a half-lizard love child? Er… would it only be a quarter-lizard at this point?
She’s not????
Where’s Amy!? We need shots!
You’re reminding me of “V.” I loved that mini-series and lizard boy. *swoon*
Definitely think Tijan has been reading this blog. A stuffed manatee makes an appearance in Cole. My husband thought I was nuts screeching OMG, Maryse.
OMG seriously Cher????? How VERY cool… I wonder if she’s one of us active readers that hides in our blankie-fort with us, and we don’t even realize it’s her ’cause she’s anonymous. Oooooooh!!!!!! I bet she’s sobbed on Manny before.
*sideeyes all of us*
Oy 6?! Ela wants to read about butterflies BR both! <— pretend that's subtle 😀
Are you pimping out the Butterfly book AGAIN Robin??? Yes very subtle, it took me FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU REALLY MEANT.
Who me? *shrugs innocently*
HAPPY BLOGGIVERSARY MARYSE!!!!!!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!!!!
*passes out cake batter shots to everyone*
Maryse has a hole.
An odd-shaped hole.
And only one book can fill it.
Get your minds out of the freaking gutter, you dirty birds.
“Fabi – is narrator doing accents too?”
Yes Michelle, she does accents and her male voices you’d swear were a man.
I imagine accents as I read but I don’t try to reproduce them in my thoughts because I suck at accents. I only have my default southern one.
Happy blogaversary Maryse!
Happy B-day Robyn!
OMG Cher…my tummy just did a flip!!
Now I would be REALLY freaking out if an author had a stuffed manatee in their book named Manny. 😉 I would buy, like, 20 copies of their book and send them out to friends from here!!
YES AMY, MARYSE HAS A HOLE AND ONLY ONE BOOK CAN FILL IT! HELP ME TO KEEP HER ON TRACK WITH HER PROMISE!
Damn it… I’m writing a book… I’m gonna put a stuffed manatee named Manny in it, just because I can. *giggle* oh and sorry about the birthday thing. My autocorrect is an a**. It corrects Robyn to Robin… Gah! It took 3 times for me to manually fix that!
That sucks Grey! Autocorrect shouldn’t punish Robyn for her parent’s mistake! 😆
LMAO
Grey – you should totally put a stuffed animal named Manny in your books! And maybe characters named after us! Can you imagine? We can be the “extra girlfriends drinking martinis at the bar”, Amy style! I’d buy that book & get you all to sign it. I’m on a mission!
Me & Maryse have to be the really short friends. Who is going to be crazy cat lady?
Yeah Grey! Fabi’s got her rock band, Glass Surface, in mine!
“crazy cat lady”
that would be me 😉
R.! Yes! I’m tickled pink. You guys go on and make fun of my book title hangups all you want. I came up with the name of a new band!
What a great list!!!! Cole by Tijan one clicked & read non stop last night last & early today!!! Loved it!!! I loved Carter Reed too!! So excited to find out there will be a Carter Reed 3!!!!
Fabi I still can not get over you not reading Sea of T because you think the title is boring, lol.
GLASS SURFACE bev. Glass Surface.
LOL.
One thing though. ….There already is a book with a stuffed manatee.
hahaha you guys!!!
And yes Bev, there certainly is one, the original one.
