Next on my new releases reading list is A Gentleman of Unreliable Honor, the next Lord Julian mystery by Grace Burrowes. (Out September 13 on her site and September 27 through the usual outlets.) There are some unconventional aspects to the main characters and I am wondering if Burrowes will cave and go conventional or if she has more variations on the expected lying in wait for the reader.
I just got done reading Stella Riley’s latest,Masque of Deceptions. The book was interesting to me, in a detached way. I like the characters and enjoyed catching up… but I never felt any tension, even though the characters certainly had anxiety-producing problems. If the hints at the end are not misleading, the next book is about Oscar Hawkridge. I am looking forward to it, and hoping M Section gets entangled in Oscar’s future.
Somewhee on her blog, Riley indicated that Daniel had not been all that cooperative. I hope her writing returns to the standard she met in Cadenza, among others.
I’m definitely in a grumpy phase. I don’t feel like reading any of the new books mentioned up above. It makes me sad. I still read romance, but these months I choose my books from my enormous TBR pile. My favorite authors have stopped writing or moved on to other genres. This year I haven’t even had a new Sandra Brown book. There will be better times in the future, I hope.
If you like Loretta Chase, she has a new one coming in January, My Inconvenient Duke and Elizabeth Holt has a new one, No Ordinary Duchess coming in December.
Oh, I am so happy about Chase’s new book, but we’ll have to wait until 2025? Oh, I just don’t think I can. In the past, her books came out in December which was one Christmas present I could count on.
It’s certainly been a long wait for the Chase – 20th Jan 2025 is the release date. It’s a good read and certainly one of the better HRs of recent years.
You’ve read Chase’s book, already? Oh, you lucky person, you.
Thank you very much for the news! I didn’t know about Hoyt’s new book. Those two are certainly novels I will be reading.
We will have reviews of both!
I just spotted a new Sandra Brown book, Blood Moon, coming in March!
From the list above – Wild Eyes, Maybe You and Power of the Mind. Thanks for the notice about Amanda Weaver! I really loved her Romano Sisters trilogy.
On my own list:
Temptation Trails by Claire Kingsley (M/F; next in a series)
The Bait by N.R. Walker (M/M; sequel to The Kite)
The Pretenders of Copper County by May Archer (M/M; start of a new series)
Forbidden Puckboy by Eden Finley and Saxon James (M/M; next in a series)
Oh, yes! The Kite was the last book by NRW I really liked, so I’m looking forward to The Bait.
I’m looking forward to West’s story in Wild Eyes. I really liked the Amanda Weaver book – it was my first one of hers I’ve read.
I’m interested in Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment, Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood, and An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson.
An Academy for Liars looks like something I could get into!
I only have a few books on my September tbr, and all of them release in the first two weeks of the month. While I’m sure I’ll be adding more books as I discover them, right now I have:
September 5: COWBOY’S FORBIDDEN BRIDE (The Careys of Cowboy Point/#2) by Megan Crane (aka, Caitlin Crews). Cowboy romance between MCs from rival families.
September 5: MAYBE YOU (part of the Until series) by Briar Prescott. Opposites-attract; and, as is often the case with Prescott, one MC hides his emotional pain under layers of sarcasm and disengagement.
September 12: POWER OF THE MIND (Shadowy Solutions/#2) by Nicky James. The next installment of the Domingo & Krause series with two men solving mysteries and navigating their fraught relationship. My most highly anticipated book of September.
September 12: TEMPTATION TRAILS (The Haven Brothers /#3) by Claire Kingsley. The next in Kingkey’s series of romantic-suspense stories featuring a family with six brothers. This one has a single-dad sheriff and the bakery owner he’s trying to protect.
September 12: DIVINE HEART (Rebel King/#8) by Garrett Leigh. Yes, the eighth book in Leigh’s MC series where either the sex is easy, but the intimacy is hard, or the intimacy is easy, but the sex is hard. Not sure which side of the coin DIVINE HEART falls on, but I do know the MCs have been on the periphery of the prior Rebel Kings books, so I’m looking forward to their story.
I have reviews for Broken Bird, Maybe You and Power of the Mind waiting to go, and I’m also planning to review The Phantom, the follow up to AJ Rose’s The Family Man (13 Sep)
Andie Burke’s Fall for Him is really good (DIK), the Jack Strange, not so much, sadly. Not on the list is the final book in Colette Rivera’s Moonlight Falls trilogy, The Heart of Moonlight Falls. I just read book one, The Seduction of James Gray, and it was really good – a spooky paranormal/fantasy mystery – and there’s an overarching plot, so I need to get to book two quickly to catch up!
I’m a fan of Garrett Leigh, but MC books are not my cuppa.
I don’t have many mid or late month books on my TBR either. Which is odd, because September is normally chock full of new books! Maybe they’re just not books I’m interested in…
I used to read Caitlin Crews but it seems all she writes these days is Harlequin.
And Harlequin only seems to publish royal / sheik / “exotic” lover trope. Much as I used to like Crews, I just can’t.
And at least half of the heroines get accidentally pregnant. It’s 2024 not 1954. Is Harlequin opposed to contraceptives? There are enough accidental pregnancies to spark their own PSA.
Her M.M. Crane books about magic started off promising but the plots are too predictable, like a Nora Roberts paranormal romance. And if the paranormal action is going to drive the plot instead of the relationship, then the action has got to be stronger. But I guess I’m in the minority about Harlequin because Crews is a prolific writer so she must be writing where the money is flowing.
