Getting Schooled (Getting Schooled #1) by Emma Chase 6/26  (Contemporary)
I love this author and I need this book in my life. I barely skimmed the blurb because with my favorite authors I sometimes like going into a book completely blank. So who knows what this is about?? LOL. Little tangent – Her Royally series is amazing and if you need a Prince Harry themed book at the moment, read Royally Matched. But also -you must read Sustained. It’s so freaking good. And then you must read the follow-up novella, Sidebarred. I listened to it, and it made me so freaking happy I was literally crying as I was doing the dishes one night. Damn it. Goodreads l Amazon

More Than Words by Mia Sheridan – 6/12 (Contemporary)
I’m planning to start this one today. Her last book, Most of All You, is a favorite of mine, so I have high hopes. I want to be crushed and brought back up again. She makes me hurt in a good way. Goodreads l Amazon

Even Money (All in Duet #1) by Alessandra Torres 6/4 (Erotic)
I either love this author (Moonshot, Hollywood Dirt) or I don’t love her. But I never know how it’s going to turn out and I love that. LOL. This one looks a little dark and sinister. It’s part one of a duology…..I’ll report back. Goodreads l Amazon

Part-Time Lover (Part-Time Lover #1) by Lauren Blakely – 6/1 (Contemporary)
I always do this author on audible – she has the best narrators! Just downloaded this one and the sexiness will be in my ears all week. I’ll report back. Goodreads l Amazon

Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield – 6/11 (Erotic)
I’ve read this and it’s SEXY. The hero is a landlord with a limp and no social skills. The heroine lives in his building and just dumped her boyfriend. She is super outgoing. They do verra naughty things together. Goodreads l Amazon

Moments of Disarray: An Alex Kennedy Story – 6/13 (Novella)
Guys!!! I had no idea Megan Hart wrote a novella for Alex Kennedy!!!! I’m so excited. This is for all the Tempted, Naked etc… I pre-ordered it so fast. #Ready Goodreads l Amazon

Bed of Flowers(Sweetness and Light #1) by Erin Satie – 6/19 (Historical)

The One You Can’t Forget by Roni Loren, 6/5 (Contemporary). This whole series centers around a group of people who survived a school shooting while in high school. I know that sounds absolutely terrible, but I really enjoyed book one. It was a great mix of light and heavy. It was my first Loren and so I am interested to see if my love for her will continue with this book. Goodreads l Amazon

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang, 6/5 (Contemporary) I have been excited for this book for MONTHS. I love books with sex workers. I hope to start this book this week. See Tori’s post above for links.

Real Kind of Love by Sara Rider, 6/5 (Contemporary) Fake relationship. I didn’t need to hear anything else about this book to be interested. Goodreads l Amazon

Worth the Wait by Karelia Stetz-Waters 6/19 (Contemporary, F/F). I saw this featured in the Forever Romance blogger newsletter and I have been excited about since then. It’s a second chance at love story and that is one of my favorite tropes. AND one of the heroines is described as the “queen of home renovation.” I am so intrigued by this. Goodreads l Amazon

It Takes Two by Jenny Holiday, 6/26 (Contemporary) Y’all know I LOVE Holiday’s voice and books. Book one was fantastic and I have high hopes for this one as well. Goodreads l Amazon

More than Words by Mia Sheridan
Wicked & The Wallflower by Sarah MacLean
The Varlet and The Voyeur by Penny Reid and LH Cosway. I don’t know what a Varlet is, but I think this book will be fun.
