Here’s a recommendation for you!⁠ Tokyo Ever A

Here’s a recommendation for you!⁠ Tokyo Ever After comes out Tuesday and it’s the cutest story I’ve read in a while. Princess Diaries meets Crazy Rich Asians. Plus a broody, grumpy bodyguard!
.
.
My review will be going up next week on the blog.

What’s the last book you thought was cute?

How could I let #lisakleypasheroinesweek without j

How could I let #lisakleypasheroinesweek without jumping on and talking about one of my top 3 all time favorite authors?! Impossible. Thanks to @gigireadsromance @nadiaandstepbacks and @ladywithaquill for giving us the opportunity to gush about the undisputed QUEEN of historical romance.⁠
.⁠
It seemed fitting that today's prompt is Cover Lust Friday, Best Cover Dress. I'm in love with the pretty flowers of this dress in DEVIL IN DISGUISE! This is the 7th book in the Ravenels series and comes out in July. I finished reading it yesterday and let me just tell you that it's incredibly swoony, sweet, steamy and filled with all the amazing things you love about a LK book. Including plenty of exciting things for fans of her Wallflowers series. ⁠
.⁠
But since we are discussing heroines today, Merritt was the best in this book. I love a widow that isn't afraid to take what she wants. And quite frankly, she saw Keir and wanted. Can't say I blame her, that is one sexy, rough around the edges, Scot. Not only when it comes to romance though. After her husband passed away, she ran his shipping company like a total boss, dealing with men who thought they could walk all over her and earning their respect while also being a caring person. You'll fall in love with her from the very first page. Did I also mention she's the daughter of my absolute favorite couple in the Wallflowers series?⁠
.⁠
Ok, I'll stop gushing. If you haven't picked up LK you're missing out on the best #historicalromance has to offer. And you should start with the Wallflowers, then Hathaways, then Ravenels series. And if you are a fan, be sure you have this book pre-ordered. ⁠

*peeks through fingers*

Folks I did it! I spoke a while ago about wanting to do a topless bookshelf pic. I wasn’t sure if I actually would do it. But I’d seen some really beautiful ones and I wanted to give it a try. So here it is. My attempt. Be kind.

In other bookish news, I am on a winning streak right now. I am reading and have read some absolutely cracking books. I’m soaring high right now.

So, if you want some recommendations for things you absolutely must try:

🌟 JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi McFarlane
contemporary romance • friendship • funny • made me cry • authentically British

✨HOW TO CATCH A DUKE by Grace Burrowes
historical romance • bisexual hero • disabled hero • dukes • competent woman • tall girls

🔥 BRANDED BY FIRE by Nalini Singh
paranormal romance • alpha heroine • shifters • stoic hero • family

I am now #currentlyreading TEMPTING FATE by Kerrigan Byrne, I’m 20% through and already in love with the hero and heroine.

QOTD - Selecting from your recent reads, what would recommend people should pick up?

When one of your favorite authors hasn't released

When one of your favorite authors hasn't released a book in a while and there's finally an announcement for a new book, you jump to add it to your TBR... then cry a little that it's not coming out until February 1, 2022. But hey, it's just a few days after my birthday so it'll be like a present. You can read the blurb for GOOD GIRL COMPLEX in the comments.⁠

Happy Release Day! What are you all planning to pick up, if anything, from today's releases? ⁠
.⁠
We have a ton of reviews on the blog so be sure to stop by and check them out. Including for THAT SUMMER by Jennifer Weiner (up on the blog tomorrow) and PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry (up now). ⁠
.⁠
"A book you’ll think about for days after you’re done; the kind that puts feelings you didn’t even know you had into words, and then it just starts to make sense." ~ Guest Reviewer @_lostinafantasy on PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION⁠
.⁠
"I think this is a great summer read that is not only entertaining but also considers serious concepts, making the reader reflect on questions of revenge, masculinity, assault, and confrontation. It’s rare that you find a book that has aspects of a drama and a thriller that also tackles heavy, serious subjects, but Weiner succeeds!" ~ Guest Reviewer @c_marie_books on THAT SUMMER ⁠

“I had forgotten how stressful sex with a new pe

“I had forgotten how stressful sex with a new person is, the pressure to perform being a really sexy person who is naturally good at sex, a part time erotica master. The stupid hair tossing stuff and the arching of your back. As if there’s a panel watching you beyond a one-way mirror, appraising your performance and holding up paddle boards with their scores.” ~ from JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi McFarlane

I am #currentlyreading JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi Mcfarlane and although I’m just 21% through I can clearly see this is going to be a five star read for me.

You know some books and characters you just instantly connect with? This is it. Maybe it’s the narcissist within me, but I really enjoy seeing Eve’s thought patterns and sometimes EXACT THOUGHTS reflect myself. I know Eve, our heroine, I AM Eve.

But looking beyond my - clearly gigantic - ego I am loving this book for a variety of reasons. I like that it’s blurs the lines between women’s fiction and romance meaning you get the best aspects of both. I love that friendship is out front and centre of the story. I like that it’s set in the UK and has that Brit feel. And, I’m sure the more I read, the more I will find things to love.

QOTD: When do you know you’re going to be giving a book 5 stars?

For me 5 stars isn’t something I give out lightly or often. So, when I’m reading a book that has the extra almost magical thing to it that pushes me rate it 5 stars, I know pretty early on.
