New Releases for April

It’s April and we have been busy, busy in my house! We recently adopted a dog (a sweet black lab named Miles), I had dental surgery, my kids are on spring break this week, and my daughter’s birthday is in a couple weeks! We’ve been so busy that I haven’t had as much time to read—GASP! I’m back at it now and LOVING Julie James’s Love Irresistibly. It is terrific so far! Next up is Seduced at Sunset by Julianne MacLean. Should be good! I’m also looking forward to Julia Quinn’s The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, Let It Be Me by Kate Noble, and While We Were Watching Downton Abbey by Wendy Wax. 

Which April 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 May, happy reading!

  10. Andrea, as always, the number of new releases is mind-boggling! I'm not yet into April releases, due to my perpetual state if behindness. I've been enjoying Elle Kennedy's new RS series and looking forward to Nora's Whiskey Beach, Amy Raby's Assassin's Gambit, and Grace Burrowes' Darius.

    Congrats on your new family member. We had a yellow lab, and we adored her.

  19. I just downloaded The Bridgerton Epilogues onto my Kindle last night. I want to get a print copy as well. I also want to pick up the new books by Suzanne Enoch, Heather Snow, and Kate Noble. I feel guilty that I haven't visited my indie bookstore since before Christmas.....My DH gave me the Kindle for Christmas. AND, once again, my proverbial TBR pile is overflowing. :)
