New Releases for May

May is here and that means summer is on its way! I, for one, am looking forward to it and our vacation to Boston. As a family of American history buffs, we can’t wait to walk the Freedom Trail! Have you ever been to Boston? If so, what are some of your must-see recommendations for Boston? Do you have any special summer vacation plans? If so, where are you headed?

May is also a terrific month for romance releases! So far, I’ve read It Happened One Wedding by Julie James and loved it! Look for my review soon. I also read Risky Game by Tracy Solheim and really enjoyed it. I’m currently reading In Want of a Wife by Jo Goodman and it is classic Goodman. I love her writing. I’m looking forward to reading How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days by Laura Lee Guhrke, It Takes a Scandal by Caroline Linden, and Home to Stay by Terri Osburn.

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 from my prize stash!

Until June, happy reading!
