New Releases for October

It is already October, can you believe it?? I certainly can’t believe it. Though, when I walk outside in the mornings and the air is cool and crisp, that lets me know fall is here. My kids and I are still making our way through the Harry Potter books. We’re up to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and still enjoying spending time with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. J  

There are lots of great books out this month! I have read Duke of Midnight by Elizabeth Hoyt and it’s another keeper from her. I adore her Maiden Lane series. I will be picking up Always on My Mind by Jill Shalvis, Lady in Red by Máire Claremont, Run to You by Rachel Gibson, and Summer Is for Lovers by Jennifer McQuiston. 

Which October 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 November, happy reading!

  2. I'm so jealous you've already read "Duke of Midnight." I can't wait to read Artemis and Maximus' story. He was kind of a jerk in the previous Maiden Lane books, but can't wait to see as a hero.

  6. I'm mainly a contemporary reader. I have just received the Shalvis - in paperback, which will make a change from all the ebooks - and will get the Rachel Gibson too. And, of course, I am looking forward to Terri Osburn's Up To The Challenge!!

    I love Susan Mallery, but I am not a great fan of Christmas novels, so I am not sure...

  15. The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie (Jennifer Ashley) and Lady Jenny’s Christmas Portrait (Grace Burrowes) await on my Kindle. Duke of Midnight (Elizabeth Hoyt) is high on my TBR list.
    I also plan to read Getting Rowdy (Lori Foster,) Run to You (Rachel Gibson,) Always on My Mind ( Jill Shalvis,) and One Lucky Vampire (Lynsay Sands.)

    I enjoyed reading Summer Is for Lovers (Jennifer McQuiston.) It's not as humorous as her first book, but the hero and heroine have a wonderful story.

  22. This is a great month of reads, I have so many I'm looking forward to adding to my wish list! Starting with another installment of the Lucky Harbor series with Jill Shalvis' "Always on My Mind". Followed by Karen Hawkins' "How to Entice an Enchantress", Lori Foster's "Getting Rowdy", Rachel Gibson's "Run to You", the next in Susan Mallery's Fool's Gold series "Christmas on Fourth Street", Jennifer Bernard's (another in the hot Bachelor Firemen series) "How to Tame a Wild Fireman", Jennifer McQuiston's "Summer Is for Lovers" and finally Theresa Romain's "Season for Scandal". Good thing there's no limit to how many I can put on my TBR pile! LOL :-)
