Dog-Eared Daydreams

After the cliffhanger ending in Tequila Haze--and a two-week wait--bestselling author Melissa Toppen has released Tequila Burn, the conclusion to her Tequila duet. Now, I can't really gripe about the wait since I already had an advanced copy of this second book, but what I will say is that the story is so good that it should be worth the short (enough) waiting period between book releases. Having said this, I'm going to reiterate that these novels need to be read in order: Tequila Haze first and Tequila Burn after. This will give new readers a better idea as to everything that came into play with Hudson Demasi (aka Hudson James) and Lennon Claire's complicated but sweet romance.

When Lennon learns the one thing that Hudson's been keeping from her, she's at a loss. How could they possibly move forward from such a revelation? Hudson knows he should have said somet…

Shades by Jaime Reese Date Released: May 24, 2018
About Shades Life made him dangerous. Love made him lethal.
Killian Marks is a third-generation hitman. After hunting monsters for over twenty years, he lives under no illusions of happily ever afters and fairy tales. Until he meets a man who threatens to disarm him, by giving him hope for a future and showing him there’s more to life than just death.

Nick smiled, tracing his fingertips along each curve of Ian's body. “I think you've ruined me for all other men.”“You ruined me the day we met.”
Gah! This book was such an amazing surprise, like something I never saw coming but in hindsight, I would never have forgiven myself had I missed out on reading it. Jaime Reese isn't a new-to-me author, and I know what she's capable of in terms of storytelling, thanks to her popular Men of Halfway House series, but her new standalone release is above and beyond whatever it was I could have hoped for, not only when it comes to her books in particular but in any book that falls under the romantic suspense genre. There was this constant and consistent thrum of intensity from beginning to end, and two main characters who had absolute chemistry and didn't rely on being cutesy or drumming up the sex, plus a small handfu…

One Baby Daddy (Dating by Numbers #3) by Meghan Quinn Date Released: May 17, 2018
About One Baby Daddy "What are you doing now that your team is out of the running for the Stanley Cup?"
Forget.
I need to forget. I need an escape.
Only one person isn't falling for my reputation as the NHL's Golden Boy; she captured my attention the minute she called me out for snooping through my best friend's house. She didn't want to hear my reason--she only wanted to playfully give me a hard time.
Adalyn is bold, sassy--and the perfect escape.
She's everywhere. In town and in my dreams, and suddenly I need to spend every waking moment with her.
And I do, making this summer the best off-season I've ever had.
But in the midst of getting lost in Adalyn, what I don't expect is to get her pregnant. 
And what I definitely don't expect is having to fight for her affection.
