FROM SUZANNE:
A survival guide for a British Summer:
4. Beechems Cold & Flu Medicine
FROM ANGELA:
When I think of “summer” reads, I think of sexy or light and fluffy books. So, for this summer, I will recommend books from those genres.
For the sexy reads; I recommend IF I WERE YOU and BEING ME from the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY by Lisa Renee Jones. I also highly recommend THE PROPOSITION by Jennifer Lyon which I recently finished and thoroughly enjoyed. These books are definitely steamy, packed with suspense factor and has sexy alpha males to drool over. I can guarantee that these books will leave you hot and ready… for the summer heat, of course
For the “light and fluffy” read, I recommend 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! And last is another small town contemporary, SUGAR SPRINGS by Kim Law. This novel will tug at your heartstrings right from beginning to end.
FROM ANNIE:
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 “You’re sexy as fuck” 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 I’m sure that will change as the series continues. Here’s a taste of Dallas dirty talk: “You want it rough and raw,” he rasped in a low whisper. “I’ll give you that, love. I’ll give you the fucking world.” Mmm.
PROTECTING WHAT’S HIS by Tessa Bailey – Bailey does not hold back on the dirty talk. Her heroes have the filthiest mouths I’ve read in awhile.
These quotes from the book bare repeating: “The longer it takes me to get between your thighs, the rougher I’m going to be when I finally get there. Understand?”
And one more:
“Do you feel that, baby? That’s your man moving inside you”
Unf!
I may need a moment to air out my downtown area.
FROM FRANCESCA:
Much like Angela, summer reads for me are light and a bit fluffy with a touch of sexy. I don’t want heavy angst or crazy suspenseful escapades. 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 – Don’t you just want a good laugh along with your sexual tension? I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, this book is awesome! Starting with the fact that it’s from the hero’s POV and he is one hysterically deluded guy. But oh is he sexy, and don’t we all love to see the womanizer change his ways?
Seducing Cinderella by Gina L. Maxwell – Ahhhh yes, my first fighter story! This is one you are bound to love. There’s a hot guy, the storyline of brother’s best friend and a sexy and fun romance. What’s not to love?
Sinners on Tour by Olivia Cunning – With the upcoming release of the final book in this series, I’d highly recommend that if you haven’t started the series, you get to it now! Nothing better to get you all sweaty in the summer than some hot rockstars, and now you can finally read this series in order! 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 western…Lorelei James! Redneck Romeo is ohhh mmmmm good!

Maya Banks KGI series or well pretty much anything by her.

Is it bad that I want to read beach books all year long? I would recommend anything by Darynda Jones – they are funny and have great stories.
Fool’s Gold books by Susan Mallery (just one kiss, two of a kind and three little words) and It Had to be You by Jill Shalvis
Just started the cut & run series and am loving it!
Cherrie Lynn’s contemporary romance novels (Unleashed, Rock Me, Leave Me Breathless) are all AWESOME. The Edge of Never by JA Redmerski is also very very good! Oh and Her Mad Hatter by Marie Hall had me all kinds of emotional. Sigh…so many to choose from!
I love reading CJ Roberts

Definitely the Beyond series by Kit Rocha and the Inside Out series by Lisa Renee Jones! For Contemporary reads, anything by Carly Phillips, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, or Rachel Gibson.
I’m going to agree with Angela and recommend If I Were You and Being Me. Both are fantastic reads that are guaranteed to make you lose yourself.
I have found a wonderful series by Kerrianne Coombes that puts a delightfully dark and sexy spin on classic fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White.
Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich– wicked mysteries, sexy love triangle, hilarious friends… Awesome time!
There are so many great reads out there. These are a few of my favorites I will be rereading this summer. Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Crossfire series By Sylvia Day. I also loved The Edge Of Never by J.A. Redmerski.

Thanks for the great recommendations!!!!
Anything by Jill Shalvis(especially her Lucky Harbor series and her Animal Magnetinsm series), Jennifer Crusie(especially Bet Me and Anything But You), and Kristan Higgins(especially The Best Man).
I just read Opposing Forces by Adrienne Giordano and LOVED it. It’s part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. It was so good, I bought the first 5 books in the series today so that I can read them this month.
I am reading The Chocolate Touch by Laura Florand – it is an ARC copy – and it is really good. I have loved all of her other books. Also, Jill Shalvis, Susan Mallery & Carly Phillips all have or will have new books out that are great for a beach read!

I am looking forward to the next book in the Siren series by Tiffany Reisz. I can hardly wait to find out what Nora is up to next.
Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews!!! Or Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones.
My picks for great summer reads (for myself) are Cheyenne Amber by Catherine Anderson; What the Duke Desires by Sabrina Jeffries; Courageous by Diana Palmer; Darkness Bred by Stella Cameron; The Final Cut by Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison; and finally, The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg…a real mixture to keep me on my toes! Thanks for asking.

The Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt
Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis
Club Destiny series by Nicole Edwards
Don’t Hate the Player….Hate the Game! by Katie Ashley
Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning
I honestly don’t know what makes a good summer read, but that’s probably got a bit to do with how I am really NOT a summer person (I burn way too easily, and cannot deal when it gets too hot). So my recommendation is to find some really good aircon and read whatever you want 🙂 Like maybe some KMM or Kelley Armstrong books.
I would say Heart of Obsidian by Singh.
Anything by Jill Shalvis or Carly Phillips are always good reads for the summer. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m catching up on reading series I bought and never got to …Elizabeth Ambers Lords of the Satyr at the moment…though I have pb’s for the beach (where I am for 2 months..yippee) Kit Rochas Beyond Shame.. I’m loving it and have a hard time not picking it up inbetween beach times….
anything Cherise Sinclair. I just discovered her Masters of Shadowlands series and it’s awesome! 🙂
I just finished reading Playing for Keeps by Kate Perry and I definitely recommend it as a summer read!
I’d suggest Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Karen Moning, and Larissa Ione, among others.
It’s winter here, so something hot & steamy is what I need, Cherise Sinclair is one of my favs & also Lorelei James for some hot cowboy action.
I would have to say anything by Maya Banks.
The series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE by George RR Martin.
any book from J.D Robb or Nora Roberts.
I recommend Alexandra Ivy, Laura Wright and Nalini Singh
waiting for Nalini’s book to arrive in the post and have pre-ordered Affliction by Laurell Hamilton
can’t wait!!
My recommendations for good summer reads are the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis or the Fool’s Gold series by Susan Mallery.
Great giveaway!
I live in the tropics where it’s hot n sunny all year round. Well hot anyway; even when it rains. Everyday is a good day for a summer read! I discovered a new author recently who writes sweet, light fantasy romance with a fairytale theme. Try Elizabeth Darcy’s Asleep (a reimagining of Sleeping Beauty but it’s the prince that is the “sleeping beauty” & the princess has to save him) or The Eye of the Beholder (a beauty and the beast story).
I’ll also happily read any Courtney Milan book.
