In addition to books coming out by Putney, Quinn and Chase, I’ve added new-to-me author Mary Blayney to the mix.
Other books on my July BTB list are:
Scandals of an Innocent by Nicola Cornick
My Wicked Marquess by Gaelen Foley
Surrender to the Devil by Lorraine Heath
A Duke of Her Own by Eloisa James
Wed Him Before You Bed Him by Sabrina Jeffries
For the Earl’s Pleasure by Anne Mallory
Lords of Notoriety by Kasey Michaels
Wicked Little Games by Christine Wells
Trish – I’m in the same boat as you regarding Gaelen Foley. I’m not precisely “”looking forward”” to her new book and series, but I’m willing to give her another shot before she falls off my list. I have mixed feelings regarding the exerpt posted on her website.
Magnolia88 – Releases at the end of the month are considered part of the next month’s releases. So “”Bound by Your Touch”” is a July release, and “”Written on Your Skin”” is an August release.
Trish – I’m planning on reading the Susan Andersen (who used to be an auto-buy for me), but I’m getting it from the library. Last year’s release was *so* disappointing–I fully agreed with the D grade here. If I end up liking it, though, I’ll buy it to re-read again. Once burned, twice shy, as they say.
Definite, can’t wait for reads:
Bound By Your Touch – Meredith Duran – Yes she has a another book due out July 28, Written on Your Skin
Branded by Fire – Nalini Singh
Don’t Tempt Me – Loretta Chase – This one looks really good!
Likely reads:
My Wicked Marquis – Gaelen Foley – I’ve been so disappointed with her more recent books, but I’m likely going to try this and see if it bodes well for this new series or if not, I’ll likely drop her, sadly.
Make Me Yours – Betina Krahn – She hasn’t had a book out in a few years and, though I rarely read series romances, I may give it a shot.
Possible reads (depending on reviews and my wallet!):
Start Me Up – Victoria Dahl
Bending the Rules – Susan Andersen
Well, my TBR pile is about to get taller–a lot of these titles look very interesting, but I’m especially looking forward to (as is most of the AAR staff, from the looks of things!) MJP’s new one. I enjoyed the alternate reality series, but she is one of the best at writing historicals–can’t wait!
Doesn’t Meredith Duran have TWO books coming out — one at the end of June (Bound by Your Touch) and another in July? I thought I pre-ordered them both but now I’ll have to check.
I’m hearing such good things about Duran’s Bound by Your Touch from my AAR colleagues that it’s fast approaching eagerly awaiting status for me.
Somehow I missed Linda Howard’s Burn. It is probably my most anticipated release of the summer.
Yay, thanks for posting these! I didn’t know MK Andrews had an upcoming new release! Her Savannah Blues is one of my top 10 faves of all time.
NOOO! I am already so behind on my reading and then all these great books come out! I’ll be reading Branded by Fire, Red’s Hot Honky Tonk Bar, Robert’s Black Hills and Andrew’s The Fixer Upper.
I am really looking forward to the new books by MJP, Chase, and Duran.
The new Quinn book . . . eh, I will wait to see the AAR review on that one.
Also looking forward to: SINCE THE SURRENDER by Julie Ann Long, the latest in the Pennyroyal Green series.
A few I’m looking forward to:
Undone – Karin Slaughter
The Devil’s Punchbowl – Greg Iles
Burn-Linda Howard
