Thursday’s Lunch Break

February 17, 2011 by Mandi 10 Comments

 

Mandi is here to pimp some future releases. Let’s get to it.

 

I saw the cover for Pride & Passion yesterday at Lovin’ Me Some Romance. I don’t always love Charlotte Featherstone books, but this cover is beautiful. Releasing December 2011. Goodreads.

 

Legend of Michael

I requested to review The Legend of Michael by Lisa Renee Jones because of the awesome blurb:

He is sin and satisfaction, lust and damnation, a lethal weapon created from greed. A human soldier injected with alien DNA, he is a legend. Untamable, he has walked on the dark side, and returned to the light. Women desire him, hungry for his raw passion. Men envy his power; they lust to control him. But there is no controlling a creature such as he, no taming the primal fires within him. Michael revels in his superior strength and trains as a fighting machine. But when he encounters scientist Cassandra Powell, he begins to long for a more human connection…

Michael may turn out to be an epic character! We shall see. I skimmed through the book and I think I spy a sex scene by page 30. Again, this could be awesome – or not. Releasing May 1st. Goodreads.

 

Wickedly Charming

 

Wickedly Charming by Kristine Grayson features Prince Charming – as in THE one. Apparently he has divorced Cinderella (he calls her Ella – Ha!) and in the “real world” calls himself Dave because – well, he can’t be called Charming and taken seriously. This one has the set up to be cute. Releasing May 1st. Goodreads.

 

Hush (Lodestone Trilogy, #1)

Cherry Adair has a new series starting, with Hush. There is talk of a jungle and kidnapping and sexy brothers. Oh yes. Releasing April 26th. Goodreads.

 

Never Again (Wizards of Nevermore, #1)

Never Again is the first in a new series by Michele Bardsley about wizards. Yes – sexy wizards. I just finished this one and really loved the world and small town feel this book has. The romance may have fallen a tiny bit flat, but I still really enjoyed this book. My review will be up soon. Releasing March 1st. Goodreads.

 

Chasing Fire

Another new series! Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts features smoke jumpers fighting fires in Montana. I haven’t read Nora Roberts in a long while so I am excited to try this one out. Releasing July 5th. Goodreads.

Tempt Me

 

Tempt Me is another self-published release from Shiloh Walker. I read her previous book, Beg Me and really enjoyed it. Releasing late February. Goodreads.

Rock Hard (Sinners on Tour, #2)

YESSSSSSSS – Rock Hard – The second book of Olivia Cunning’s Sinners on Tour series. I really loved book one, Rock Hard. Such dirty, dirty rock stars. I can’t wait to dive into this book. Releases April 1st. Goodreads.

 

The Devil in Disguise (Regency Rogues, #1)

I believe The Devil in Disguise is Stefanie Sloane’s debut book. The blurb for this one really caught my attention. It also looks like she will have three books out in consecutive months. Releasing May 24th. Goodreads.’

The Spy Who Loved Her (Once Upon an Accident, #3)

I’ve have read Melissa Schroeder’s contemporary BDSM books and have enjoyed, this will be my first historical from her – The Spy Who Loved Her. Looking forward to it! Releasing March 8th. Goodreads.

 

Saddled and Spurred (Blacktop Cowboys, #2)

Is there anything better than a dirty cowboy book? Lorelei James writes really fun, sexy cowboys and I can’t wait to see what Bran gets up to in Saddled and Spurred. Releasing March 1st. Goodreads.

Happy Reading!

    Ooooo I'm likin' all these upcoming releases. ROCK HARD is one that I'm definitely craving. I wasn't an uber fan of the first series installment but I'm wanting Sed's book.

    Thanks for the blog nod. Charlotte Featherstone also put up an excerpt on her blog inspired by the cover for PRIDE & PASSION. Its damn good too: http://charlottefeatherstone.blogspot.com/2011/02/passion-thursday.html

    OMG, I need to get a job! Way too many good books coming out! I pre-ordered Saddled and Spurred on Amazon…it was only $7.77; way cheap for a trade paperback. :)

    My, my, my. I am liking just about every one of these.

    It's good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like all of Charlotte Featherstone's work. But this, yes, this, I am looking forward too.

    More to put on the towering pile.

    So many books, so little time! I didn't realize Melissa Schroeder had a new book, I've enjoyed her BDSM stuff so I'm wondering if The Spy Who Loved Her will be a straight-ahead historical romance or involve some historical BDSM?
