Hello, Everyone!
It’s the weekend and I’m planning on spending some much needed time on my front porch swing enjoying the next couple of days! It got me thinking how many books I’m anticipating this month, and my patience for these novels is wearing thin! July is full of new releases and I want to get my hands on these ten the most! Hopefully I will be able to read all ten books this month! So let’s get started!

Synopsis:
Livia
Once upon a time I spent an evening flirting with a handsome stranger in a bar. But before we could finish what we started, I lost my nerve and fled.
Months later, I’m minding my own business at work one morning when a stranger lets himself into the empty brewery. Panicked, I call 911, and the cops show up to slap on the handcuffs.
In my defense, I have very good reasons to be afraid. Also in my defense, I’d never met my boss’s son.
Or so I’d thought…
Nash
I don’t know what this chick has against me. First she ditches me, and now she wants to arrest me.
Livia is as frustrating as she is hot. But nobody else knows the brewery better than she does. Now we’re stuck together, sharing an office and a very small house as I run the brewery for six weeks for my cranky dad.
That’s just enough time to bring down her guard. Turns out we have a lot more in common than we thought, including a lot of smoking hot chemistry. Until Livia’s past catches up with her, and I finally figure out why she’s so jumpy. But I’ll stop at nothing to protect her, unless her ex finds her first…
The Moment We Know

Synopsis:
How often do second chances come along in your life?
A second chance to right a wrong, or reverse a bad decision you regretted making?
What about a second chance to get your girl back—along with a marriage that was stolen from you by the man who walked your bride down the aisle?
Would you go for it, even knowing you might fail?
Because going for it means risking your heart on the success of an arrangement she thinks is temporary …
… and failure means sacrificing your soul if she decides to walk away when the arrangement is over.
For David Lowe, the answer is as complicated as it is simple:
He has no choice, because second chances don’t come around very often.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds returns with a new story in her Until Her series…
More bookworm than Barbie, Reese Shepard is completely caught off guard when the most beautiful man she has ever seen in her life steps in and pretends to be her boyfriend when some creep won’t leave her alone.
She assumes that it’s the last time that she’ll see the chivalrous stranger, but soon he is everywhere she is. And before she knows what’s happening, the two of them are spending all their free time together bonding over their love of the ocean, scary movies, and homemade cookies.
Reese knows that a guy like Brodie Larsen could have any woman he wants and that becomes even more apparent when she finds out that he’s a pro hockey player that’s worth millions of dollars. So to save herself the potential heartbreak she places him firmly in the friend zone.
If only he’d stay there.
The infuriating man starts pushing for more, lots more, and the worst part is she wants to give it all to him including her heart.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Synopsis:
The final chapter to the addictive Stone Riders series is finally here!
It’s been two years since I was traded to the Stone Riders Motorcycle Club.
While it saved my life, I was forced to leave behind the only person that ever mattered to me.
Dripping with tattoos, his hair as dark as his soul, the brooding president of the Death Raiders still holds my heart…even if he doesn’t seem to know what to do with it.
Yet, Silas has watched me from afar for years, always protecting me from a distance, and creating havoc on my tattered emotions.
To love, and be loved an arm’s length away has been torture…until it seemed we might finally free ourselves of this pain.
Unfortunately, whatever we wanted, or could have dreamed of having gets ripped out of reach when old enemies return.
While one wants power, the other….only wants me.
I’ll grieve the dream of a future with Silas because if there’s one thing I know, it’s that there is no world in which he would ever share me with another.
If this is to be our end, then I’ll say goodbye with ink-stained arms wrapped around me and death itself still holding my heart.
*While each book in this series can be read as a standalone, this book is the exception. The plot from books one through three will come to an end with this book, so it is highly recommended to read them in order to fully enjoy and understand what’s happening in this book.*
King Of Nothing

Synopsis:
I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him.
The first time I saw Roman Dante King, he stuck out like an odd puzzle piece that got mixed up in the wrong box. It wasn’t his blue eyes in the dim light of the bar, the tattoos that covered his arms and hands, or even his arrogant personality. It was something else—something I couldn’t see—that told me he didn’t belong in our small beach town on the Oregon coast.
Elora Mazie Barlow reminded me of a hummingbird zipping from one flower to another, never stopping, never allowing anyone more than a glimpse before she was gone. Never letting anyone in… until me. Then she gave me her smiles that were more valuable than anything I ever owned and wrapped me in her peace without asking for anything in return.
Her tragic story sounded achingly familiar to my own.
Our connection is knotted up in loss. The journey we’re on together will eventually come to an end. But will we be able to untangle the mess of strings that have tied us together?
Will we even want to?
Five Brothers
By: Penelope Douglas
Release Date: July 30th, 2024
PreOrder Today: https://amzn.to/3RiZOfA
Synopsis:
One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers in the new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain…
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile.
Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.
Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything.
Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left.
And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.
Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents’ big house. On my clean street. Where I’m never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.
Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn’t stop there.
I don’t think it was Trace.

Synopsis:
Faith
Graduating from college is bittersweet. I’ve accomplished my dreams, obtained my teaching degree, and am ready to find my dream job. However, I never realized how difficult or stressful it would be to find a position.
That’s why I jump at the chance to visit Chad, one of my best friends, on base in California.
It was meant to be two weeks of catching up and putting all thoughts of job hunting out of my mind. Little did I know those two weeks would change my life and alter the course we were both on.
Chad
The day she agrees to join me in California is one of the happiest days of my life. Having her with me gives me the taste of home I’ve been craving, but deep down, it’s more than that. She’s important to me, more than just my friend, and my closest friend’s twin sister.
Spending my nights with her has done nothing but reinforce this feeling I get when I’m with her. I know we said we’d keep things light, but she’s making it so damn hard not to want more.
Then I get stationed overseas. Everything changes in the blink of an eye, and I’m not just talking about our jobs or the fact we’re suddenly thousands of miles apart. Call it fate or destiny or just pure luck, but it’s beneath the desert sun that finally our future becomes clear.
