Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – March 31st 2015

Okay I think it’s ready, AND OMG is THIS LIST AWESOME!!

Some heavy hitters are thrilling many, like J.R. Ward’s latest bad-ass BDB book (The Shadows – and she says she’s already posted a spoiler forum to help “explain” something… eeeeeep!! What does that mean?!), Kylie Scott’s latest rock star book Deep (one night stand and she’s pregnant *gasp*!!! FUN!!!!) Karina Halle’s latest super-angsty romance, Where Sea Meets Sky and Kele Moon’s latest bad boy MMA fighter The Slayer!! <— P.S. all of these authors listed above are amongst my absolute FAVORITE authors in the world!!! Every book they have written so far have rocked our worlds!!! MINE!!) 😀

And aside from the obvious “heavy-hitters” today, here are a few more with blurbs that are tickling my fancy: Savage Chains (vampire club sex ring and he’s going to buy her… to save her), The Trouble with Tomboys (another one-nighter pregnancy whoops!), Before I Go (the blurb already wants to make me cry), Girl Underwater (5 plane crash survivors stuck in the Colorado rockies…) and The One That Got Away (sounds in the realm of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books and I LOVE HER!). Oh!! And Blushing (she’s engaged to a famous actor but they have to keep it a secret and it’s driving her crazy, especially due to his gorgeous co-star…) YES!!! And I noted a bunch more, below. 😀

ALSO check out yesterday’s post for the early book releases. —> 7 early bird book releases & 7 highly anticipated pre-orders going live tomorrow!

AND a reminder:  for those accessing my blog via their mobile device (phone or tablet) you’ll notice the look of it has changed (for now, that’s the “mobile compatible” version and I’m hoping we can get it close to the usual “look” while still keeping it “mobile friendly”). On a desktop computer/laptop the look of the blog is the usual one.

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).
