Posted May 4, 2021 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Harlequin, Harlequin Special Edition, Owned or Purchased, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

This marine is meeting his toughest mission yet…

Tanner Camden knew hooking up with his ex was a bad idea. But he never thought he’d end up getting a call that he might be a father—or that his ex had died, leaving little Poppy in the care of her sister, Addie Markham.

Addie may have always resented him—and his potential ability to take away the only family she has left doesn’t help—but with their shared goal of caring for Poppy, they’re willing to set aside their differences.

Even if allowing their new feelings to bloom means both of them could get hurt when the paternity test results come back…

Next Older Series Catch-Up

Posted April 27, 2021 by Marsha in Discussion / 0 Comments

If you’re anything like me then your TBR pile is unbelievably large and completely unintentional.  I have complete series (that were released over years) on my Kindle, purchased already, that I simply have not gotten around to reading.  Now, that’s fine for the author and the publishing house, they got their money from me 🙂 … but I haven’t gotten the pleasure of that money spent yet.  Just sayin’ – it’s time for those books to get themselves read so I can be up-to-date when the newest release shows up and begs to come live on my Kindle.

I’m caught up on Anna J. Stewart’s Butterfly Harbor series (Oh, how I loved that one – the reviews are on the blog).  I have the title released this year to get the review up for and then wait for the next release.  So, one series down from that TBR tower.

Now, I’m going to start on Christine Rimmer’s The Bravos of Valentine Bay series.  This one also has endured for years now, and every book that is out in the series (including the newest) is on my Kindle… binge-read ahead!  (this is also going to count for my 2021 Beat the Backlist Reading Challenge so Yay! for that) —BtB can be found here—  🙂

Just a reminder — don’t forget those books on your e-readers or your bookshelves.  They might not be the newest release, but they are a brand new reading experience for you.  So, don’t forget your books, they get lonely.  *sad book’s face*
