M.L. Rodriguez's Blog

Thank you!

The past week has been 𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙍𝙀𝘿𝙄𝘽𝙇𝙀!

Thank you, thank you, 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙆 𝙔𝙊𝙐 for making the release of More Than Enough (La Flor Series, 3) such an amazing experience! For all your support, the likes, the loves, the shares. For reading, reviewing, and recommending. For taking a chance on the story and falling in love with Naomi and Gabe.

ONE BOOK YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!

THIS IS ONE BOOK YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS!

Full House (The Gamblers #3) by Sarah Curtis is everything you could want in a book. It has romance, suspense, those "awe! moments," and Tori and Nate—who are perfect for each other.

I have loved everything Sarah has written, but I can honestly say that THIS BOOK IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE of hers. I loved Mason from her book, Pursuing (Alluring #3), but Nate has now won my book-heart.

And that epilogue made my eyes water so hard. My heart felt like it was going to burst from all the feelings.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Make sure to add this book to your TBR on Goodreads. If you haven't read a Sarah Curtis book, check out her Amazon author page. Her stories are loving, sexy, hot, and definite page-turners.

WHAT NEW RELEASES ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT?

What new releases are you excited about?
This week, I have two new releases I'm super excited to read.

***NOW AVAILABLE***
P. Dangelico: The Babymaker
This is a slow burn romance, which has become a top favorite romance theme. We first read Stella's name in Wrecking Ball (Hard to Love #1). She's not "the other woman," but a characters lightly introduced. When I saw this upcoming release on Ms. Dangelico's FB newsfeed, I was ecstatic.

***FEBRUARY 22***
Abigail Davies: Confessions of a Klutz (Confessions Series, Book #1)
I ran across one of Ms. Davies's teasers on Instagram. Immediately, it grasped my attention. I love the color scheme on her cover—the yellow is so cheery. The lines on the teaser were attention-hooking, so much, I ran to her FB page to see if it was available. It goes live on 22 February.

NEW AUTHOR TO READ

So, this weekend, I kinda went on a reading binge on a new author to me. Like, I read ALL the books she has available from Friday evening to Sunday super late at night.

You can say I didn't sleep very much.

I might've read and cooked at the same time. We all know how dangerous that is with me so I will say no dinners were harmed during the reading of these books.

I might've messaged an author friend asking her to ask this author when her next release is because I FLIPPIN' NEED IT NOW.

I might've started stalking this author, 'cause I kinda need to know MORE. And, I need to ease her into receiving several pm's with some exclamation marks involved—the good kind, of course.

Yeah . . . I'm kinda catching up on household stuff now because I was busy this weekend, but it was so worth it.

I LOVE finding new authors to read. Love, love, love it!

Seriously, y'all need to check out Jennifer Vester. SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOODDDDDDD and totally worth losing sleep.

<3 <3 <3 <3

This lady is AMAZING! Her books are un-put-downable. Her men are ALPHA. I started with With Us, and immediately after finishing, I downloaded Hyde and Seek, then Best Kase Scenario.

Mariana Zapata
This lady is the QUEEN of slow burn romances. My favorites of hers are Kulti, From Lukov with Love, and Wait for It.

P. Dangelico
P. Dangelico is a "new to me" author. She writes contemporary romance, and her Hard to Love series is my favorite of her. Book three in the series is releasing the 20th of this month.

G.L. Snodgrass
I binge read her YA romance books. My favorites are Unbreakable Rules and Her Brother's Bodyguard.

She met the love of her life at the early age of twenty and was married just after nine months of meeting him. Shortly after marriage, her husband rejoined the U.S. Navy and they moved from Kansas City and started their journey together. Currently they have two amazing children, a boy and a girl, and are still enjoying the Navy life.

She spends her days being a wife, mom, reading books, writing her latest novel, watching her beloved Kansas City Chiefs or Kansas City Royals, watching movies, hanging out with family and friends and having girls’ day at least once a month.

MARY B. MOORE
I've always been an avid reader and writer, so when my best friends (three males who drive me closer to insanity daily) dared me to publish, in fact triple dared with no returnseys, I couldn't say no - the forfeits are always painful. Deciding to shelve all of the work I'd ever done and to start with a new project was my best idea though, at least I think so. After being on the brink of insanity many times, I'm delighted to confirm that I came out of it with my dignity still intact...just!

I'm the daughter of diplomats who has lived all over the world and you'd be hard placed to figure out where my accent was from - it's a Heinz 57 variety accent. My poor child has also picked up my accent and vocabulary, which is predominantly American I guess. We should really be classed as having United Nations accents.

My projects so far are a contemporary romance series called the Providence Series, an MC series which I love called Luther’s Vengeance and also a paranormal series. In Luther's Vengeance, I'll be using my background to make it as 'real life' as possible, never let it be said my childhood was boring.
For now though, it's going to mainly be about the romance...lots of romance!!

ARC Form Information

I highly doubt anyone will read this post, but I need to get into the habit of blogging. Apparently, that’s a big must in this career path I’m traveling on. I’m not great because I honestly have no idea what people want to read about. I’ll write you a story no problem, but a blog post . . . well, that’s a whole new ball game. One I’m trying to get the hang of.

So here goes another blog post. Or at least an attempt at a good one.

Finally, after months of writing, editing, and not-so-great-moments in certain parts of the process, I have a reader’s ARC sign-up form for my upcoming release. Everything (Men of Phoenix, Book One), aka Gunner’s story, will release on 5 September 2017. This is later than I wanted, but this works best. I will be in Texas visiting family—who I see maybe once a year—and would like to focus on them and my sister’s wedding.

Because I promised my Reading Corner members special perks, the ARC form is available only for Reading Corner members. If you would like to join, please do. I love meeting new people. Don’t be shy, and you can help me be more interactive.

For now, I think this is all. Thank you for reading and until next time.

DEAR BLOGGERS & READERS:
