Protege King by Lisa Renee Jones

Image
I love a good afternoon quickie read and Lisa Renee Jones is the queen of erotic fun reads. She gives sexy angst like nobody else! I can't wait for what's coming next in the Wall Street Empire: Strictly Business Series. ~Tanja From the Cover... Damion West was the boy who stole my young heart and then broke it. That was a long time ago though and I’m not a girl susceptible to hot boys with big egos who just happen to kiss well anymore. Nor have I kept up with Damion West. Okay, I have. Everyone has. He's the heir to West Enterprises, and notoriously loud on social media. Everyone knows Damion West. Just not like I do. But that's another story better left untold. *Thanks @lisareneejones for sharing this title with me! You are the bestest! #ProtegeKing #LisaReneeJones #romance #billioniarromance #sexyreading 

What's A Duke Got To Do With It by Christina Britton

Image
I wholeheartedly enjoyed this second chance historical pining romance.  Le sigh... these two are the best kind of couple. Honest and respectful even in the turbulence of societal expectations of the time period. Beautiful read! ~Tanja From the Cover...

No matter that his death is a tragic accident, the rumors are enough to kill any woman’s prospects.

If only he weren’t already engaged. . . Sebastian Thorne, Duke of Ramsleigh, knows what he has to do to save the dukedom from the crushing debts and scandal his father left: marry and marry well.

You Can Die Rebecca Zanetti

Image
The Laurel Snow series by Rebecca Zanetti has become one of my all-time favorite series in the mystery thriller genre. Filled with smart reactive, perfect for television drama this series has a hold on me that won’t be letting go anytime soon. Book three, You Can Die, is a masterful production by the brilliant Zanetti. Again words to describe are smart, edgy, thrilling, entertaining, sexy, and mind-boggling connections. Her secondary characters are just as important as her primary characters. Her ebb and flow in storytelling make her books unprecedentedly un-put-downable. Prepare yourselves, friends the ride isn't over, it’s just getting started. A phenomenal read! ~Tanja Releases July 25th ~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3mypM2B From the Cover...

The Summer Girl by Elle Kennedy

Image
Give me a book where the hero is best friends with his mom and dad and you’ve got me hook, line, and sinker! Of course, anything Elle Kennedy writes is immediately purchased and put on my shelf. The Summer Girl is no exception.  Book number three in the Avalon Bay series is just as good, if not better in my opinion than the previous reads in the series. Tate and Cassie have this beautiful back-and-forth electric friendship/chemistry that keeps the pages turning. It’s the perfect beach read, especially when we get little Easter eggs from other books in Kennedy's universe. Perfect for spring and just in time for those beach bags. I absolutely loved it! ~Tanja Releases July 18th ~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/40x2LMw From the Cover... Elle Kennedy's next spicy and emotional romance in the blockbuster Avalon Bay series.

A beautiful fractured mind in the midst of the teenage hellscape that is St. Ambrose School for Girls. Sarah must manage what plays within her mind as well as those who plan to viciously toy with her in reality. A somber, and at times terrifying, look into the course of thought of a young girl with bipolar disorder. Ward has created a modern teenage classic with a gothic attitude, a compellingly sinister pecking order where money is no object, and daddies can fix everything. And the rules?

Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

The Lucky Shamrock by Carolyn Brown

Image
The Lucky Shamrock is threaded with faith, family, and a bickering ease only family can provide. It's a faith-based fade-to-black romance that Carolyn Brown brilliantly delivers.  A small town where everyone knows everybody, the gossip runs like a mill, and the people know what you've done in the past and won't let you forget it. **Trigger warning to those sensitive to the topic of rape. ~Tanja Releases July 4th Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3Kb05x0 From the Cover...
