And of course, the STILL #1 SERIES on all of Amazon right now… yep. This list rocks!

Kathy: Loved the Grief We Hold by S. Cole (Scarlett Cole). This is a spin off of her other MC Series and if you like MC Series, hers are must reads!

Maryse: Thank you for the feedback Kathy! I’m adding it. 🙂

➜ Unpaved by Anthony Horton is live & will take you on a journey of corporate intrigue & personal growth… <--- CORPORATE INTRIGUE & PERSONAL GROWTH!! P.S. The author is today's newsletter sponsor!

Through “Unpaved”, a parallel storyline unfurls—one of corporate intrigue, ambition, and hidden agendas. 

 

In a riveting twist, the corporate landscape echoes the characters’ internal struggles, drawing uncanny parallels between the two seemingly disconnected realms. 

 

“Unpaved” unveils the intricate dance between personal growth and the world of corporate dynamics.

The author says:

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the things around you that even though you knew you could, it was just too much?

 

Our protagonist, Russell, will show you how this experience led him to make his biggest decision in life.

Trina: Hi! Love, love, LoVE this list!!!! How about second chance HEA? And More Mature (aka Older! Lol) HEAs? Your blog is the greatest! I have found so many great reads, new authors, new series from you.

 

JR: I’m book marking this post! I think you’ve got all my favs covered. The only thing I wouldn’t mind being added is around location. Like stories that take place in Italy, NYC or London. I’m heading to NYC this weekend and would love a story where they go to a lot of the city’s hot spots.

 

Lindsey: What a smashing idea! This will be great for rediscovering amazing reads I’ve forgotten about. Thanks, and keep up the brilliant work.

P.S. This is our latest popular reader question (and I think we have the answer!!):

➜ SOLVED!! ---> And this one sounds sooooo romantically angsty good!! ---> The college romance where her boyfriend’s friend is keeping an eye on her, and she meets someone she has a connection with…

Robyn: Maryse and everyone, I’m soooo excited to tell you about a book I just finished! It’s called If by Randi Cooley Wilson. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and OMG what a book. It reminds me a little of the Avoiding series by KA Linde.

 

The main characters meet freshman year of college. Oh the angst with these two! Eeek! It’s never the right time for them. I don’t want to give anything away, it’s that good.

 

This book is right up there with Unbreak My Heart by Nicole Jacquelyn. Now if you know anything about me, that is one of my all time favorite books and nothing can top it. If is giving it a run for the money. You guys have to read this glorious book!
