We are officially six days into April 2024 and it is starting out great! There are so many romances releasing this month, I’m definitely going to have a hard time trying to get through this month’s reading list! I have a feeling I’ll be setting a few novels to the back burner and replacing them with a few newer releases. So without further wait, here are my top ten most anticipated romance releases for April 2024!
Bridesmaid For Hire
By: Meghan Quinn
Release Date: April 2nd, 2024

Synopsis:
USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn is back with a hilarious new rom-com series.
Sometimes the wedding of the century calls for desperate measures.
And sometimes those desperate measures are to pretend the person you hate most is actually your boyfriend.
After years of working her tail off at her event-planning business, Maggie Mitchell is ready for a vacation. With nothing on her mind but R & R, she’s enjoying the warm weather of Bora Bora when in saunters Brody McFadden, her brother’s best friend and also her sworn enemy. Thanks to years of tension between the two—kicked off by a make-out session at her brother’s wedding that ended horribly—Maggie has sworn to stay away from the man. That is, until she finds out he’s in Bora Bora for his boss’s daughter’s wedding, hoping to use the trip to win a real future at the company.
Maggie promised herself she wouldn’t even think of work on the island, but as word spreads about the “wedding of the century” taking place in the midst of her vacation, she realizes offering her services as a bridesmaid and planner could bring her business to the next level. The only catch? She needs to pose as Brody’s girlfriend to get the job…while letting him stay in her peaceful bungalow.
Tensions rise, irritation flairs, and despite years’ worth of bickering behind closed doors, Maggie can’t quite squash the sparks building between her and her new fake boyfriend, especially when she learns the real reason their first kiss was cut short. But as the wedding day draws closer and everything starts to go wrong, it just might be Brody who sends Maggie’s business crashing down—and her heart along with it.

The Pucker Next Door
By: Sara Ney
Release Date: April 29th, 2024
Synopsis:
When a squirrel chews its way through my bedroom wall, I do the first thing any single girl like me would do: run screaming out of the house to the neighbors, begging for help.
I should mention that the house next door is full of hockey players. And when I lock eyes on rough and rugged Brodie Stockhausen—who happens to be outside brooding on the porch—I’m not exactly impressed.
But I’m desperate, in a bathrobe, and need a bit of rescuing.
Soon I’m begging for his help with more than just squirrel duty and DIY projects. I want his attention and his touch—not just his friendship!
I want what every girl wants: him lying in his bed at night, so desperate for me that he’s willing to scale two stories to sneak into my window. Hey, a girl can dream…
But Brodie has a secret; one that leaves me wanting more every time we’re together but has him pulling away…
Learn Your Lesson
By: Kandi Steiner
Release Date: April 19th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/4cEVS1T
Synopsis:
My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up…
Men are trash.
Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart.
After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right — and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.
Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.
Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter’s kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.
But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.
He’s impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. I’m only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans.
But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin. And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.
When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal.
He still needs a nanny. I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me. But Will agrees to teach me everything I’ve always wanted to learn, and I’m all too eager to be his student.
I can do this. I’m a grown woman. I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings.
I have to.
Otherwise, I’ll end up heartbroken in my mother’s arms while she shakes her head and asks me if I’ll ever learn my lesson.

There are some bumps in the road on my way to him, but all great love stories have hurdles.

Forever.

Synopsis:
It’s been three years since I’ve been back to my family’s ranch in Colorado. If I had it my way, it’d be never again. Not because I don’t love my family or the ranch but because of my grandpa’s right hand man, Luke Stone. He shattered my heart with a few reckless sentences and I vowed to never see him again. A sudden tragedy has changed all that. I just hope I’m strong enough to keep him at arm’s length this time.
Nothing is going to stop me from winning back Eli Hart. Not the ring on her finger or the fear in her heart. I wasn’t good enough for her three years ago but I’ve worked hard to remedy that. I’m going to prove that I can be the man she needs while we navigate our new reality.

A down on her luck, single boy mom and a handsome, untrusting rancher meet in a diner. No, this isn’t the start of a joke, it’s their life.

All the excuses in the world weren’t enough, knowing her son wasn’t happy and her pocketbook was empty. What choice did she have but to say yes?
What happens when the quick witted mom goes toe to toe against the set in his ways cowboy?
Will one of them come out on top or will love win in the end?

Synopsis:
Off Limits.
She’s too young for me.
Too nice for me.
And she’s my little brother’s ex-girlfriend.
So why can’t I keep my hands, and my heart, to myself?
Lila Webster is my temporary assistant. That’s it. But I’m distracted by her gorgeous face, her sharp mind, and the sunshiny smile that burns straight into my grumpy soul.
I’m determined to keep my head down and my hands off. In a few weeks, I’ll head back to my life in Boston and leave behind the moose, the lumberjacks, and the crazy small-town gossip.
But between the thefts, break-ins, and constant danger, my family is counting on me to clean up the mess my criminal father left behind. And she’s the only person I trust to help. Our late nights, road trips, and inside jokes bring us too close and make it difficult to stay away.
And soon, I can’t stop myself from taking what’s not mine.
We’ve both been burned by the small-town rumor mill, so we agree to sneak around. But things don’t stay secrets in Lovewell for long, and it’s only a matter of time before we get caught in the act.
I know that when I go, I’ll be forced to leave my heart behind. Because no matter how badly I want her, she can never truly be mine.
Author’s Note: Caught in the Axe is a standalone small-town romance featuring a nerdy, grumpy lumberjack with a heart of gold hidden under his flannel shirt and a sunshine ex-beauty queen who loves to challenge him. If you enjoy flirty banter, wood chopping, moose shenanigans, and possessive mountain men, then take a trip to Lovewell and meet the Maine Lumberjacks. Welcome to Lovewell, Maine, where the moose outnumber the people and you can’t swing an axe without hitting a hot, grumpy lumberjack. The Maine Lumberjacks Series are ALL standalones but are most fun when read in order!

Synopsis:
Aria
We used to be friends but drifted apart. Over the years, I’d drowned him out. Pity he was now a rock star whose face graced magazines worldwide. But one day, he came knocking on my door, needing help. Unfortunately, it meant my heart was on the line a second time. From ashes we rose, burning brightly once again. Hearts aflame, but in the end, it was just a game.
Austin
I found her as I was near drowning, and she threw me a lifeline. Fate brought Aria into my life again years after losing touch. I needed help cleaning up my tarnished image in the media, and she was perfect for the job of my pretend girlfriend with her beauty, wit, and charm. But most of all, she was about as interested in a relationship with me, as I was in one with her. Slowly, she lit me up inside. Why was this fake relationship starting to feel like the most real thing I had in my life?
Aflame is a rock star romance with heart, and the first book in the Scarlet Love Series. Although part of a series of interconnected novels, this story may be read as a stand-alone.
