In the mood for…
Contemporary Romance New Book Releases
Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble
by Alexis Hall
Series: Winner Bakes All #2
Release date: 01 November
set in a baking show | lgbtq+ romance | romantic comedy
It’s Great British Bake Off season, so there are two things on my mind at the moment: romance books and cakes. Alexis Hall has burrowed directly into my brain and delivered me both these things: a male/male romantic comedy set in the midst of a baking show. So, I’ve got my reading snacks ready – cupcakes and pastries – and I am dying to dive in!
Happenstance
by Tessa Bailey
Series: Standalone
Release date: 07 November
romantic comedy | reverse harem | forced proximity
I am a sucker for a reverse harem, but I haven’t read many (make that none…) contemporary romance ones. Most my reverse harem reads involve aliens. What attracts me to this one is how fun it sounds. It’s the perfect read to pepper between all the dark thrillers I am currently obsessed with.
Ship Wrecked
by Olivia Dade
Series: Spoiler Alert #3
Release date: 15 November
romanctic comedy | hollywood celebrities | second chance
I have really enjoyed the first two books in this series, especially All The Feels, which surprises me as I usually avoid anything where the characters are celebrities. But, Dade has a way of really bringing her characters to life. Plus she writes fat heroines, which is something I am a sucker for. Now the third book in the Spoiler Alert series is out and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
Before I Let Go
by Kennedy Ryan
Series: Skyland #1
Release date: 15 November
marriage in trouble | second chance | emotional rollercoaster
I haven’t read many marriage-in-trouble books, but it’s always on my list of tropes I need to read more of. And what better way to start my journey than with Kennedy Ryan? You just know that this is going to be a an emotional, poignant and thoughtful exploration of the trope. I really can’t wait to get stuck in.
Two Wrongs Make a Right
by Chloe Liese
Series: Standalone
Release date: 22 November
opposites attract | fake dating | shakespeare retelling
Can I admit that it is the cover that first drew my eye? It’s got such a beautiful autumnal feel, and I love the heroine’s sleeve of tattoos. Usually it’s the guy that has the tats, so I love that switch. Then I read the blurb and realise it’s a retelling of Much Ado About Nothing … it’s the perfect read to snuggle down with this season.
Erotic Romance New Books Releases
Natural Disaster
by Skye Warren & Amelia Wilde
Series: Deserted Island #2
Release date: 08 November
forced proximity | menage | mafia
If you’re diving into something by Skye Warren you know you’re about to immerse yourself into something dark and spicy. And, combined with the desert island setting this one sounds intriguing. The only thing I worry about is sand in your unmentionables…it’s never sexy.
Fantasy and Urban Fantasy New Releases
Raven Unveiled
by Grace Draven
Series: Fallen Empire #3
Release date: 08 November
villian hero | enemies to lovers | ghost whisperer
I have loved the first two books in this series and I cannot wait to read this one. It is probably my most anticipated book of November. Especially as we get Ghastek’s story. We got a glimpse of his point of view in the previous book and it just left me wanting more. Plus, look at that cover. The artwork is so beautiful!
The Serpent in Heaven
by Charlaine Harris
Series: Gunnie Rose #4
Release date: 15 November
alternate history | urban fantasy | magic
We all know Charlaine Harris for her Sookie Stakehouse series and it’s TV adaption True Blood. But, in the Gunnie Rose series we have an urban fantasy series where the world is familiar…but not quite as we know it. Our heroine is a gunslinger (Old West style!) in a world of magic, and I love this blend of fantasy and western. If you want to try something a little different, this may be the one for you.
A Light in the Flame
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Flesh and Fire #2
Release date: 15 November
new adult | vampires | action
The second book in the Flesh and Fire series. It has everything you want in a fantasy: action and intrigue, the paranormal and some spicy romance!
Pin it so you can see more of November’s new book releases later!
Historical Romance New Book Releases
Never Rescue A Rogue
by Virginia Heath
Series: The Merriwell Sisters #2
Release date: 08 November
enemies to lovers | witty | regency romance
Enemies to lovers is one of our favourite tropes, especially when it’s paired with whip smart banter and some sizzling and reluctant attraction. Which, is precisely what Virginia Heath is promising us in Never Rescue a Rogue. Well, sign me!
The Sea Siren of Broadwater Bottom
by Courtney McCaskill
Series: The Astley Chronicles #3
Release date: 18 November
love amisdt a competition | mutual pinning | heroine with secret identity
This is another book where the cover immediately caught my attention, it’s just so pretty! And, I am glad it captured my interest as I love the sound of this. Both characters attracted to one another without the other knowing….a competition with big stakes for both of them getting in the way…a smart heroine…it has all the ingredients of a fantastic historical romance read.
Thriller and Mystery New Book Releases
The Quarry Girls
by Jess Lourey
Series: Standalone
Release date: 01 November
small town secrets
It’s that time of year when the nights are getting darker, the weather is getting colder and therefore we feel like we need to horrify and terrify ourselves with thriller books. Or is that just me? And this one sounds like it will be perfect. A small town full of secrets and disappearing girls…and one girl who has seen too much and thinks she will be next.
Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six
by Lisa Unger
Series: Standalone
Release date: 08 November
Locked room thriller
A weekend getaway with the people you love and trust the most, in an idyllic – but isolated – setting? What could possibly go wrong? Well, i you’re in a thriller novel and the cabin in the woods has a creepy past and everyone you know -including your spouse – has secrets…quite a lot. Anyone else immediately adding it to their TBR?
You Can Hide
by Rebecca Zanetti
Series: Lauren Snow #2
Release date: 29 November
fbi profiler heroine
I haven’t read Rebecca Zanetti (yet) but I think this is the series I am going to pop that particular cherry with. I love a thriller series with a profiler as the main character. It adds that extra psychological twist that makes everything more interesting to me.
Young Adult New Book Releases
Jasmine Zumideh Needs A Wind
by Susan Azim Boyer
Series: Standalone
Release date: 01 November
Set in the 70s | navigating your identity and heritage
Every high school student struggles with who they are and where they fit in. But for our heroine Jasmine this is brought into sharp focus when current events lead the country to some anti Iranian sentiments. Although this book is set in the 70’s, it’s not hard to draw parallel’s to today, this sounds like an excellent novel about navigating your identity, your family and high school.
Holding Up The Sky
by Rebecca Alasdair
Series: Standalone
Release date: 02 November
queer hero | mental health | Debut novel
This debut novel sounds like a beautiful and emotional read. Our hero Carter is struggling with the pressures of school, home and grief. His life feels like it’s unravelling. No matter what your age, this book has something you can identify with; we are all familiar with having too much to deal with. This sounds like a really promising debut novel and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
The Q
by Amy Tintera
Series: Standalone
Release date: 08 November
post apocalyptic | action | survival
How about a post apocalyptic action thriller? Survival in a post pandemic world? If you want something with some pulse pounding action then this sounds like the read for you. I love survival stories. Especially when it pushes two unlikely characters together, who then have to rely on each other to survive. When I inevitably get in the mood for something more fast paced, this is where I will be looking.
Cursed
by Marissa Meyer
Series: Gilded #2
Release date: 08 November
fairy tale inspired | magic | fantasy
This is the concluding book in the Gilded Duology by Marissa Meyer. Perfect if you enjoy a fairy tale inspired/retlling. I especially like this one, as instead of the usual Beauty and the Beast/Cinderella *insert other Disney fairy tales here* this is inspired by Rumpelstiltskin.
Bloodmarked
by Tracy Deonn
Series: The Legendborn Cycle #2
Release date: 08 November
king arthur reimagining | action | demons
The sequel to the wildly successful Legendborn in 2020, Bloodmarked continues our heroine’s journey. I’ve had the first book on my TBR for a while, knowing the next one will (hopefully) finally prompt me into actually reading it! I love the idea of secret societies, especially when it’s based on Arthurian legend. Bring it on!
