New Releases for May

May is here and my flowers are in full bloom! Though I think spring went right by us because it already feels like summer here in the South...which means I’ve been spending my reading time indoors. And speaking of reading, it’s time for my list of New Releases! So far, I’ve read Follow My Lead by Kate Noble, and boy, was it terrific! If you haven’t read Kate’s books, you really need to change that. Her books are on my permanent keeper shelves. I'm currently reading Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke’s Heart by Sarah MacLean and loving it!! All the other books I want are going to break my wallet, but naturally, I’m okay with that. *g* My other “must haves” include: Midnight’s Wild Passion by Anna Campbell, When Tempting a Rogue by Kathryn Smith, Cloudy with a Chance of Marriage by Kieran Kramer, A Tale of Two Lovers by Maya Rodale, and of course, Summer at Seaside Cove by Jacquie D’Alessandro.

Which May releases have you read? Of those, which ones do you recommend? Which ones are you most looking forward to reading? Tell us and one lucky commenter will win a random book I picked up from last year’s RWA conference in Orlando!

Until June, happy reading!
