Now that it is drawing closer to summer time, it gets closer to those summer book releases. And there are so many that I am looking forward to. I love these authors. Here is a list of what I am looking forward and books that I have been anticipating for quite some time.
Addicted To The Duke by Bronwen Evans
A new and exciting start to a new and stunning series. I know I have said this before, but this author is simply fantastic!! I love her work especially in how she develops her plots while not under or overwhelming the love story.
The Highland Commander by Amy Jarecki
First off this author is a treasure when reading historical romance, she just makes history come alive for the reader. I just love seeing how she writes her stories and does fabulous when it comes to writing a good romance.
Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloane
I am currently reading the first book and man I can’t wait for this book now!!! This author is fantastic. This is Quinn’s story, and she is such a big impacting character in book one, and eager to see her get her HEA.
A Momentary Marriage by Candace Camp
The first book was wonderful, and so now I can’t wait to read the continuation of these wonderful character especially by a author I love to read especially when it comes to regency era romance. A hero that needs to find a cure for a disease he may die from, and a pragmatic and independent heroine.
The Pleasures Of Passion by Sabrina Jeffries
Oh I can hardly wait to pick this one up. I love this author so much, and with this series I swear each book is better than the previous one. And I do love those fake engagement tropes and eager to see how she handles it.
Blackthorne’s Bride by Joan Johnston
I recently was given the ARC here and just read it and LOVED it so much and definitely met all my expectations. This is the fourth book by this historical series Johnston has been extending herself with. She normally does contemporary romances (and writes the best rival family romances ever) This series is based on a family of orphans who end up separated and find love along the way. This story is about a young woman who was taken by Indians and after being severly beaten and whipped, a Englishman saves her and takes her back with him to England. I loved seeing Johnston do something completely different and switch from western themed to a regency—was NOT expecting her to do that or write a story so dang good. So I highly recommend y’all try that one out this summer.
The Laird Takes A Bride by Lisa Berne
Even though book one wasn’t all out five star romance, I really enjoyed the book but there was one character in book one that fascinated me and he is the hero for this upcoming book. And honestly I can’t resist a sexy Scot and I know he is going to be highly lively.
Can’t Hardly Breathe by Gena Showalter
This series has been fantastic to read and I CAN’T wait to pick this one up!!!
Escape To You by Jennifer Ryan
oh I love a plot like this one, and Jennifer Ryan is an author I know I will always love. Her writing is so emotionally portrayed and I love that.
Questions For My Readers
What Books Are You Most Looking Forward To This Summer?
You have some really good ones on your list. I can’t wait for the Showalter & Ryan too!
Thanks Ann. I am excited for those as well!! I am curious about this new series of Ryan though. She is just wonderful.
Great list of books!! Kiss My Boots caught my eye – I will have to check out the first book.
It also caught my eye as well and I can’t wait to read it. The heroine is spunky.
They all look perfect for the summer
They do don’t they?!!! 🙂
Okay, now I need to read Kiss My Boots! I am a sucker for characters named Quinn. Plus the cover is soooo pretty. I’m also going to go look into the first book.
oh yes, book one was fantastic. And yes her name is Quinn and she is spunky, and I really love the authors humor. Its on Edelweiss if you want to try it out.
I am excited for the Santino Hassell release Illegal Contact. Thanks for the list. I hope you enjoy these! 🙂
I haven’t heard of that one, I will need to check it out.
I have The Laird Takes A Bride by Lisa Berne waiting for me to read it. I hope we both love it!
Kiss my Boots looks like a sweet, fun romance, perfect for summer. I will have to watch for your review.
oh yes, I feel like cowboy romances are best for summertime.
I’m dying all of these look so good don’t they?
oh they do….so pretty to look at!!
I haven’t read any of these authors, but a lot of these sound so good. I’m especially looking forward to Kiss My Boots and also Addicted to the Duke (hey kinda sounds like your blog name! :D)
Oh you got some good ones on here!! I am excited for the Amy Jarecki book after reading book 1 in that series. And Jennifer Ryan is always a winner with me! I will have to check out the other ones on your list!
oh thank you darling. I am excited for both, but especially Amy Jarecki’s book, I just had a blast with the first book. Eager to see what she comes up with next.
Baaahhhh, I can’t think of a single summer romance novel that I’m looking forward to read! Most are Fall (September, October, November). Soooo many Fall books. I will be on the lookout for Addicted to the Duke and The Highland Commander though!
Have a wonderful week., Renee =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Nice list. I didn’t know about some of those. I do want to read the Amy jarecki too. I think my most anticipateds are Nalini Singh’s Silver Silence, a couple Rebecca Zanettis and Carolyn Brown’s Strawberry Diner. There are likely more, but those are the ones off the top of my head. 🙂
Nice list! Honestly, I didn’t have any of these on my radar before your post but I might have to grab Addicted to the Duke since it is the first in a series.
Love all these that are new to me! Kiss My Boots and The Pleasures of Passion sound great!
So much goodness listed! LOL Can’t wait for Gena Showalter, Sabrina Jeffries, Jennifer Ryan. And I haven’t read Harper Sloan yet but Kiss My Boots is getting a lot of good feedback so I’ll be checking it out.
Escape to You sounds something that I will enjoy. I’ll put this on my TBR list. Thanks for putting this on my radar.
Great list of books!! ???❤️
I’m so laser focused on my TBR pile that I haven’t looked around much at what’s coming out.
For What It’s Worth
Yay summer reads! I always look forward to Jeffries! And I didn’t know Evans’ got a new series!
These all look good and love the covers!
