To Be Read – January

October 24, 2012 by Mandi 18 Comments

One of my favorite things to do is to scan through upcoming releases and prepare my TBR pile to be filled. Here are a few books I’ve found that are coming out in the next couple months that look good to me.

13424032

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean – January 29. This is book two in Sarah MacLean’s The Rules of Scoundrels series. This one excites me because the heroine loves science and research. The hero is a bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, a gaming hell. And I believe he is a ginger. Yessss. Goodreads l Kindle

13580268

When She Was Wicked by Anne Barton – January 29. This is a debut author which always interests me. Plus the heroine is a dressmaker and the hero is a duke. Let’s hope it’s cute! Goodreads l Kindle

Be Mine Anthology with Victoria Dahl, Shannon Stacey and Jennifer Crusie – January 22. I don’t think the cover for this one has been released yet, but these three authors together in once book definitely excites me. Victoria Dahl takes us back to Jackson Hole with a story for Nate. Shannon Stacey has a novella about a waitress and restaurant owner Jake and I believe Jennifer Crusie’s contribution is a reissue. Goodreads l Kindle

15803278

‘Til the World Ends by Julie Kagawa – January 29. Any time I see Ann Aguirre’s name, I get grabby hands. While I have not read these other two authors, the blurbs look interesting and different. Goodreads l Kindle

16033902

Rush by Maya Banks – February 5. New erotic trilogy with billionaire heroes and the women who woo them. I’m always up for that. Goodreads l Kindle

14822924

That Scandalous Summer by Meredith Duran – January 29. I love this author’s voice and this book kicks off a new series. I’m so ready. Goodreads l Kindle

14910823

Sealed with a Curse by Cecy Robson – December 31. Another debut author and this series is called ‘Weird Girls’ which I approve of. One of them blows up a vampire by accident, which makes me giggle.  I may smell a love triangle based on the blurb, but I’m still willing to give this one a try. Goodreads l Kindle

12240431

The Seduction of Elliot McBride – December 31. Oh. Ooooooh. This is one of my favorite series and I’m so excited we finally get Elliot’s book. Dying to read this one. (I highly rec the entire series) Goodreads l Kindle

16103311

Wild Burn by Edie Harris – January 15. I saw someone people tweeting about this book yesterday and they had great things to say about it. I’ve never read this author and will definitely be trying it. Goodreads l Samhain

    Okay so its release date is Dec. 31st, but I’m still going to add it to your list.

    Diane Rowland’s Kara Gillian series has a 5th installment called Touch of the Demon. The series is a bit uneven, but I am SO hooked on the lead character. She’s a police detective who can summon demons. Awesome.

    Rowland has posted the first two chapters on her website (yea!), as well as a copy of the cover (really not attractive…bummer).

        I hope you do try it. Not a series you can jump into mid-stream though, so start with Mark of the Demon. I really would like your take on this series.

    January is looking expensive. I already had the Jennifer Ashley, Sarah MacLean & Maya Banks on my list, and now I’m adding the Meredith Duran & Anne Barton. Plus there are some very late December (Kate Pearce, Elizabeth Essex, Eloisa James, & Stephanie Laurens) and early February (Grace Burrowes) to max out my Visa on. Hope I have room in my e-reader!

    I’ll second the rec for Diana Rowland’s Demon books. Good mix of romance and the action is well done.

    I’m interested in Sarah Maclean’s One Good Earl.. and the Anne Barton book. Although, IIRC didn’t Loretta Chase release one this year about a dressmaker and an earl/duke? (I haven’t read it, so I couldn’t do a comparison)

    The sealed with a curse looks interesting.. but I think I’ll let other folks be the guinea pigs on that one.
