New Releases for August

Even though we are in the middle of the proverbial “dog days of summer” (at least here in the U.S.), my kids start back to school on Monday. *sigh* I’m already a nervous wreck because my son starts middle school, so I’m hoping that escaping between the pages of a good book will take my troubles away. :)

And speaking of good books, August brings us a bunch! I’ve had the pleasure of reading Wicked in Your Arms by Sophie Jordan and it was a wonderful book! I am really looking forward to Jaci Burton’s Changing the Game. I absolutely adored the first book in her Play-by-Play series, The Perfect Play (and not just because of the cover *g*), and can’t wait to dive in to this one. I’m also looking forward to reading all about The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville. Should be another good one about the infamous Burgundy Club!

Which August 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 from my prize stash!

Until September, happy reading!
