Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Hop! To me, summer and love has to mean summer reading. You know, those lazy days on the beach or by the pool with all the time in the world?
What? You’re an adult now? With, you know, responsibilities?
Yeah, I know the feeling, but guess what? A magical book, one that hooks you …
makes it feel like it’s Summer Lovin’ all over again!
The lusty Jennifer Bernard kept me up to all hours
of the night this week. Well, not in person … but with her latest Bachelor
Firemen novel, Four Weddings and a
Fireman.
Since I started reading the
series, there was one “too-cool” fireman who caught my reading eye. Let’s say I
have a thing for muscles – brawn. That’s Vader. Bernard paid of in major ways,
in Four Weddings and a Fireman, not
only is Vader hot, he’s the full package, ahem, with a package.
Once I reached a certain spot in
the book, I couldn’t stop. I had to see what happened, and that led to 3:30
a.m. *sigh* But, the lack of sleep was worth every word. Fortunately, with the children
on a “summer schedule,” I could drop the youngest off at camp and return home
for a little nap.
Bernard’s kind of tricky, though. All the while I read this
book, I kept wondering: “When is Fred’s story?” Lucky me! The Night Belongs to Firemen releases Sept. 30 – not too long a
wait, and by then the kids will be back at school!
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be giving away a $5 gift card

Dry Heat
Here's a new read from me!
Dry Heat
Louisa
Bacio
In Palm Springs
for a conference, James expects little more than long meetings, hot days and
lonely nights. He’s prepared to get through the boredom one day at a time—right
up until the moment he runs into Sofia, a former flame he’s never been able to
forget. Hot to rekindle the physical side of their relationship and
enthusiastically okay with some no-strings-attached sex, Sofia joins James
during his off time—in his hotel room, between meetings, for sexy dinners and
even on the sky tram. With every illicit whisper and each delicious encounter
hotter than the last, James finds himself wishing this business trip would
never end.
An
EC for Men erotica story from
Ellora’s Cave
Until next time!

Don't get me started on Stephen King! He's an instant hook!
DeleteWith two young kids, house chores, writing, and a bunch of other stuff to do, I don't get a lot of time to read. And, never get the chance at night. :( Hopefully, as the kids grow that will chance. lol. Thanks for the heads up on the books, though. See you around the blog hop!

Angela, I didn't like short stories until I had kids. Now I love those quick novellas to get a satisfying read in a short time. If I'm writing a lot, I don't tend to read a lot -- too distracting.
DeleteI'm reading Bite Me by Shelly Laurenston right now and I LOVE IT! I read till my eyes are closing and then I have to stop.
