Celi-brate Reading February 13, 2017
[image error]Happy Valentine’s Day Week!
In honor of the holiday devoted to love, I’ll pulled together a list of classic and contemporary reads that are all about romance! Some are old, some are new, but the one thread that unites them… is romance!
Enjoy!
1. The Thorn Birds: This probably qualifies more as a saga, but it’s one of those books that takes hold and never lets go of the readers. It’s timeless.
2. Archer’s Voice: Many people consider this to be Mia Sheridan’s best novel, and I’m hard pressed to disagree with them. It’s a sweeping tale of love, trust, redemption, and understanding.
3. Hopeless: Colleen Hoover is an amazing author, and her books take me away every single time I read them. Still, Hopeless is my favorite. There’s just something about this story, and I’m not just talking about the twist at the end. It’s magic. One of the best and most romantic books I have ever read.
4. Anything You Can Do: This is a fun new read from R.S Grey, and if you are in the mood for a romantic comedy, I highly recommend it!
5. Clam Jam: Another fun romantic comedy round us out, this one about two roommates with a secret attraction to each other. A lot of missed signals in this one from RC Boldt!

Celi-brate Reading February 6, 2017
[image error]Wow, it’s already February! Here are my picks for this week! Happy reading!
1. Fake Fiancée: Romance dynamo Ilsa Madden-Mills is back with another steamy read, and this one is all about a fake engagement with the hottest quarterback in the country. Cue the awesome!
2. A SEAL’s Consent: Cora Seton has been burning up the chats with this series, and if you like military romances, you don’t want to skip this. ASC is book four in the SEAL’s of Chance Creek world.
3. Buttons and Hate: This is a…. darker series from Penelope Skye. It’s for adult readers only. But it has a lot of fans, and book two arrives this week. Get book one here.
4. Vanished: A Beautiful Mess Series Novel: T.K. Leigh’s newest book this week can be read as a standalone, and promises to be fantastic from page one.
Also don’t miss….
5. Mists of the Serengeti: This book came out late last month, and I had the opportunity to start it this weekend. I love it. I can’t stop reading it. If this isn’t on your list, then get it on there!

NATURAL LOVE Cover Reveal
Thrilled to finally be able to share the cover of my latest book, NATURAL LOVE. As I have mentioned before, it’s up for pre-order on Amazon right now, and will be released on December 9th, 2014.
Here’s a refresh of the synopsis, as seen on the back cover:
My whole life, I wanted one thing: to be the perfect son.
Growing up, I did everything my father required. Straight A’s in school. Perfect manners. I forced myself to live up to his standards–standards that pushed the Chadwick family name to the highest rungs of society.
Over the years, we climbed so high that my father hoped we’d never fall.
If only he’d been right. With each successful year, the Chadwick family skeletons grew bolder and darker. Every lie threatened to undo us.
The secret Avery Jackson and I shared was the worst one of all.
She was the one person I shouldn’t love–the one person I couldn’t love. But I did. I loved Avery Jackson. I wanted her, even though a romance with her threatened everything.
It all felt so natural.
And that was exactly the problem.
In the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing excerpts, teasers, and more here on the blog! Hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am!
