I cannot wait to read Helen Hoang's next book, The Bride Test
flag
Can you make a list of the upcoming 2019 lgbtq2 romance and historical novels?
I cannot wait for 99 Percent Mine! Sally Thorne brought the heat with The Hating Game. I hope she keeps on sizzling.
The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. All those feels.
BEARD NECESSITIES CAN'T HIT MY KINDLE SOON ENOUGH! I looove Billy Winston. <3
GOODREADS!!! Once again, how can you, in good conscience, add "RATE THIS BOOK" on books not even released. Of all things on your site, this is one of my pet peeves. Seriously. Remove that option from books yet to be rated.
Penelope Reid’s Beard Necessities! can’t wait - Billy Winston and his story- there are no words to describe the anticipation!

Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen and How to Date a Douchebag: The Lying Hours by Sara Ney
None of these interest me. I am waiting for Kathleen Brooks "Sunken Shadows" and "Forever Notorious." Denise Grover Swank's new book coming out from the Rose and NK series..."Dirty Money"
How about JD Robb's newest, due in late Feb? This should be on the list!
Where is Nora Roberts' latest contemporary, Under Currents, due out in July? Or either of the new In Death books, Connections (February) and Vendetta (September)? Why aren't they on the list?

Seriously, where the hell is Alyssa Cole's A Prince on Paper??? Her Reluctant Royals series is amazing. Come on Goodreads, you need to do WAY better in regards to your lists.
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang sounds amazing! Can’t wait to read!

Can't wait for Sarina Bowen's Overnight Sensation!!!
I owe you one catches my eye first-because going by the title if someone shows you love and sees you as close and likes you-feel such feelings should be reciprocated with more than what they have shown a it's a stony individual who thinks otherwise it's just going by the title-a hunch-a shot in the dark.

I can’t wait to envision Jason Momoa as Murhder while reading ‘The Savior’ by J.R. Ward and I’m also anticipating what happens between an empath and a wolf in ‘Wolf Rain’ as part of the Psy/Changeling Trinity series by Nalini Singh.
Highlander Ever After!! Can't believe it is actually coming out.
Meet Cute by Helena hunting and The risk by Elle Kennedy! 💙
KILL SWITCH by Penelope Douglas ??!! Can't believe this highly anticipated book releasing February 11 did not make your list...

Still waiting, patiently, for Diana Gabaldons Go Tell the Bees. Just let me know when thats published and I'll be a happy women !!
I can't wait for the new Lisa Kleypas with West Ravenel's story. He has been in all the other books in this series and his dialogue is so well written and funny that I know this book will be one of my favourites! It's so awesome in her books that she writes new series with the children of previous series - so you get to find out what has happened in the character's lives. Kleypas is one of my favourite authors and I have all her books.
I am also waiting for the newest Kathleen Brooks book in the Forever series but also Marie Force's Fatal Reckoning in March, 2019. Also for a good laugh I love Julia Kent's Shopping series. There are also so many others but too many to reference here
Blind Side by Josh Lanyon, and of course, If I Ever by SE Jakes

Me Like Reading wrote: "I can’t wait to envision Jason Momoa as Murhder while reading ‘The Savior’ by J.R. Ward and I’m also anticipating what happens between an empath and a wolf in ‘Wolf Rain’ as part of the Psy/Changel..."You and me both! Great minds think alike.
Mona wrote: "Where's Susan Elizabeth Philipp's new book?"Good question! SEP's romances are worth waiting for.
Can't wait for Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh! All her books are brilliant! The hype is real!!
The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker, if it is a romcom.Helen Hoang's next book, The Bride Test.
The library hasn't gotten me 99 Percent Mine yet.

I'm waiting for Kristan Higgins ' last novel, life and other incoveniences. I've got I owe you one, but I'm reading something else right now. Also, always waiting for more romance books by Italian Author Anna Premoli !!
cannot wait for Ward, Singh and Kenyon, deep into these series, double digit deep..lol
