Summer Romance Books 2013
Suzanne’s Recommendations
A survival guide for a British Summer:
1.ย Sunglassesย โ Protect our eyes from the blaring sunlight reflected back on us from the puddles
2.ย Umbrellaย โ For those daily summer showers (read: torrential down pour)
3.ย Factor 50...just in case, we like to be optimistic
4.ย Beechems Cold & Fluย Medicine
5. Aย good book to readย in the lovely sunshine/whilst taking shelter in Starbucks from the pouring rainย (delete as appropriate)
To get the first four you just need to visit your local Sainsburyโs, however, here are some recommendations for a good read, come rain or shine (and if you live in the UK you know we are going to get both this summer and lets face it more of the former!)
Neanderthal Meets Human by Penny Reid
I have been banging on about this book a bit, but I did really enjoy it and is bound to leave you smiling and even if the weather isnโt sunny, at least youย dispositionย will be! So go ahead and give Penny Reidโs Neanderthal Seeks Human a go.
Grab this book on Amazon or read our Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid book review
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
If you want something that gets your heart racing andย adrenalineย pumping with a fast paced plot and some action why not try something a bit different than your normal summer read and pick up Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

Angela’s Recommendations
When I think of โsummerโ reads, I think of sexy or light and fluffy books. So, for this summer, I will recommend books from those genres.
If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones
For the sexy reads; I recommendย IF I WERE YOUย andย BEING MEย from the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY by Lisa Renee Jones.ย I can guarantee that these books will leave you hot and readyโฆ for the summer heat, of course.
Grab this book on Amazon or read our If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones book review
The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon
I also highly recommendย THE PROPOSITIONย by Jennifer Lyon which I recently finished and thoroughly enjoyed.ย ย Definitely steamy, packed with the suspense factor and has a sexy alpha male to drool over.

Summer in Napa by Marina Adair
For the โlight and fluffyโ read, I recommendย SUMMER IN NAPA by Marina Adair. This one is a small town foodie romance that will make you laugh, love and sizzle your summer all in one read!ย

Sugar Springs by Kim Law
And last is another small town contemporary,ย SUGAR SPRINGS by Kim Law. This novel will tug at your heartstrings right from beginning to end.

Annie’s Recommendations
Summer is a time to get hot, sweaty and dirty. So what better way than to celebrate summer with dirty talkers!
Here are some of my personal faves:
On Dublin Street by Samantha Young
Braden says things like โYouโre sexy as fuckโ at dinner. He is possessive, growly and did I mention possessive?

The Beyond series by Kit Rocha
Take.your.pick! This series is filled to the brim with hotties! My favorites at the moment are Dallas and Ace, but Iโm sure that will change as the series continues. Hereโs a taste of Dallas dirty talk: โYou want it rough and raw,โ he rasped in a low whisper. โIโll give you that, love. Iโll give you the fucking world.โ Mmm.

Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey
Bailey does not hold back on the dirty talk. Her heroes have the filthiest mouths Iโve read in awhile.
These quotes from the book bare repeating: โThe longer it takes me to get between your thighs, the rougher Iโm going to be when I finally get there. Understand?โ
And one more:
โDo you feel that, baby? Thatโs your man moving inside youโ
Unf!
I may need a moment to air out my downtown area.

Francesca’s Recommendations
Much like Angela, summer reads for me are light and a bit fluffy with a touch of sexy.ย I donโt want heavy angst or crazy suspenseful escapades.ย So here are some of my recommendations as I try to give you all the major hottie heroes we love to read about, starting with the successful suit wearing millionaire, and then getting a bit dirtier with a fighter, some rock stars and a cowboy!
Tangled by Emma Chase
Donโt you just want a good laugh along with your sexual tension?ย Iโve said this before and Iโll say it again, this book is awesome!ย Starting with the fact that itโs from the heroโs POV and he is one hysterically deluded guy.ย But oh is he sexy, and donโt we all love to see the womanizer change his ways?

Seducing Cinderella by Gina L. Maxwell
Ahhhh yes, my first fighter story!ย This is one you are bound to love.ย Thereโs a hot guy, the storyline of brotherโs best friend and a sexy and fun romance.ย Whatโs not to love?

Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning
With the upcoming release of the final book in this series, Iโd highly recommend that if you havenโt started the series, you get to it now!ย Nothing better to get you all sweaty in the summer than some hot rockstars, and now you can finally read this series in order!ย And WICKED BEAT will not disappoint, just saying!

Redneck Romeo by Lorelei James
And because nothing makes you think sun and sweat like a hot cowboy, I fall back on the queen of all things westernโฆLorelei James!ย ย Redneck Romeo is ohhh mmmmm good!

I don’t have summer here at Indonesia, hot for all year, no vacation for me, lol! But I can recommend R.L. Matthewson Neighbour from Hell series for summer read. Hot and very funny ๐
Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare. A wonderful historical romance set in Spindle Cove and London.
