Yesterday, Mr. Man and I finally planted our garden. Mother Nature decided to give us a little break. I could smell the rain all day, and I was worried it would downpour on us. But, Mother Nature decided to give us a little break. Second after we finished our final row, it started to steadily rain. Perfect timing. I didn’t have to manually water the garden! I love how things fall into place sometimes.
Today, I’m here to share my most anticipated romance releases for the month of June! I can’t believe we are already six months into 2024! This year is starting to fly by quickly. With that being said, there are way to many books releasing this month, and I’m anticipating a good majority of them. So let’s get started with this list!
Barely Even Friends
By: Mae Bennett
Release Date: June 4th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/3wZKs8X
Synopsis:
A grumpy, rich recluse meets his match in this steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling—with a Succession twist. Fans of fairy tale adaptations, and readers of Julie Murphy and Falon Ballard, will adore Mae Bennett’s debut romance.
Bellamy Price has just been offered the job of a lifetime: lead contractor on the restoration of the mysterious and sprawling Killington Estate. If she meets the owner’s ridiculous timeline, she’ll finally make a name for herself in this male-dominated industry. But when she rolls up her sleeves, slips on her suspenders, and shows up at the crumbling mansion, Bellamy finds the estate very much occupied.
After a traumatic car accident that left his parents dead and himself injured, Oliver Killington, heir to the Killington empire, took up residence as the grumpy caretaker of his grandfather’s mansion. None too pleased by the presence of the hammer-wielding woman who’s moved into his house, Oliver tries to block her at every turn.
But when Bellamy discovers Oliver’s facing his own ultimatum from his grandfather, the two form a cautious truce, which leads to flying sparks that are definitely not from faulty wiring. As Bellamy restores the gleam to the Killington Estate, she’ll have to decide if the walls she’s built around herself are worth knocking down to make space for someone else.
Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, this clever, steamy debut novel will have readers rooting for this Beauty and her Beast until the very last page.

Forgotten Desires
By: Corinne Michaels
Release Date: June 5th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/455H8pA
Synopsis:
He’s a billionaire in need of a wife …
And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.
Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace.
Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife.
And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal …
Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive.
Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband.
Especially when I hear him say “my wife.”
Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter.
Right alongside my heart.
False Start
By: Kandi Steiner
Release Date: June 7th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/3VpyE9z
Synopsis:
Kyle Robbins: Seattle’s rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he’s also my new client… and fake boyfriend?
I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I’m quickly reminded how much he still haunts me.
I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn’t having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn’t exist at all.
The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It’s worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me — and suddenly, he’s interested in much more than just being a client.
Before I know it, I’m wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good.
But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it’s not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we’re playing.
Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can’t help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.
Vicious Tycoon
By: M. Robinson
Release Date: June 11th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/3VqHUKk
Synopsis:
A Hollywood love story, second chance romance from Wall Street Journal & USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson
Bailey McGraw Pierce is Hollywood’s sweetheart, and I’m their bad boy.
She’s everything I’m not.
Proper.
Composed.
Polite.
Little Miss Goody Two-shoes can do no wrong in the limelight. That’s who she is to the world and her family. But I know the girl behind closed doors, the one I experienced all my firsts with, on and off screen.
Now, seven years later, my career depends on America’s sweetheart agreeing to be my love interest for the next romantic blockbuster titled, “Say You love Me.”
There’s just one huge problem…
I’m still in love with her.
Over The Limit
By: K. Bromberg
Release Date: June 13th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/3Ku7Qi9
Synopsis:
A forbidden, Formula 1 romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.
You don’t mess around with a teammate’s ex. Ever. But that’s easier said than done when it comes to Blair Carmichael. She’s sexy, intelligent, gorgeous, and one hundred percent off-limits.
And I’ve never fallen harder.
But I can’t touch (when I most definitely want to).
My team’s success and my chance at a new contract for next season depend on me keeping my hands on the wheel. And off her curves.
As the season progresses, we secretly steal as much time as we can together—in hotel rooms, after races, anywhere we can’t be found out. A real romance out in the open would risk her job in the industry, her reputation, and my image–not to mention my strained relationship with my teammate.
I’ve lived my whole life with one mantra. Team first. What I want outside of my racing career hasn’t factored in.
Until now.
Until Blair.
She deserves the world and I plan on giving it to her. Even if I have to walk away from the biggest contract of my career.

In a world of monsters, falling in love requires sacrifice.
River
I’m VP of Devils MC, and every decision I make is to protect the Club. I’m the one they call when things go south. That means getting my hands dirty—a lot. Outsiders think I’m a monster. I agreed. Until Bella. She was able to look past the violence and see…me. I never thought love was in the cards, but now she’s mine. I’ll protect her. No matter the cost.
Bella
It was supposed to be a fling—a way for us both to scratch an itch. But River wasn’t what I expected. I’ve seen monsters, and River isn’t one. Our relationship isn’t all rainbows and butterflies—but it’s real. I’d never betray him, even when my ex-boyfriend threatens to destroy me if I don’t. I’m not a damsel in distress. I can solve this problem without sacrificing the man I love.
Even if it costs me everything.

I’m happy you were able to finish planting your garden! We have been getting so much rain here, and every time we finally have time to plant, it rains again 😥 We have half of it planted so far, but hopefully we can get to it this week! Barely Even Friends and Wicked Scandal are two books I didn’t know about before! I will definitely be checking those two out!
I just added Spinach, Kale, and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce to my garden last night. I think I have to be done planting now. Sadly, I ran out of space.
I’m hoping the rain stops for you so you’ll be able to get your garden in soon!
