Proof that, on occasion, I can actually keep a plant alive long enough for it to bloom.
It's April and not only are gardens blooming with beautiful flowers but this month is also blooming with a huge bouquet of new romances for our reading pleasure. Here's what I'm spotlighting at The Romance Dish this month.
We launch the month on Monday, April 5 with a review of One Thing Leads to a Lover by Susanna Craig. This historical romance/mystery is the second book in Craig's Love and Let Spy series. In addition to my review, Ms. Craig joins us with a guest post about adaptations (her current series is inspired by 80's television shows) and a giveaway.
Tuesday, April 6 brings a tour review of Uncork My Love, another rib-tickling romantic comedy by Rich Amooi. This one is set in beautiful California wine country with two meddling grannies to add to your reading pleasure...and matchmaking hijinks!
Breezie Bennett is back with a sweet and sexy new series featuring the Vice family of Miami Beach. I'll be sharing my thoughts about the first book in the series, The Billionaires Big Game, on Friday, April 16.
Leigh Duncan concludes her Heart's Landing, contemporary romance series with April's release of A Waterfront Wedding. Stop by Tuesday, April 20 for my review of this heartwarming third story from Hallmark Publishing.
Sheila Roberts brings readers the long-awaited conclusion of Jenna Jones' story arc in the fifth book of her Moonlight Harbor series: Sunset on Moonlight Beach. Now that Jenna's ready to open herself up to love again, which of the two good men in her life will she choose? My review will post on Friday, April 23.
Join me Wednesday, April 28 when I share my review of Picnic in Someday Valley. This contemporary romance is the second book in the heartwarming Honey Creek series by Jodi Thomas. I've fallen hard for this small Texas community and her citizens.
I have many more books in my review reading queue for this month so look for additions to the schedule as we move through April.
What are you looking forward to this month? Any books on your must-have list? Any new authors you've discovered?
Two randomly chosen people who post a comment before 11:00 PM, April 5 will each receive a package of books from my stash.

I have been excited about Sarah Hogle's Twice Shy. Am afraid I have not recently discovered new authors but I am always looking.
ReplyDeleteBabette de Jongh is a new author I've discovered and I'm looking forward to reading her book "Warm Nights In Magnolia Bay", sounds awesome. I'm also looking forward to reading Lora Leigh's Strong, Silent Cowboy.
ReplyDeleteThe only book I can think of that I'm looking forward to this month is the STORM AND SHELTER anthology. Which is actually a really good thing. Maybe I can make a dent in my TBR. . . .
ReplyDeleteI realized earlier today that Courtney Milan's next book is coming out this month! I've been very excited to read THE DEVIL COMES COURTING !
DeleteApril means wonderful sunshine, flowers and lengthy walks. Books which I am looking forward to and authors whose books I hope to read are Hadley and Grace by Susanne Redfern, The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, Mother May I and so much more.
ReplyDeleteYour amazing site always gives me hope and this April more so. Such delightful books to explore and enjoy. Sheila Roberts and Jodi Thomas novels are always captivating and lovely. I have much to look forward to.

ReplyDeleteSo excited for you to introduce me to more new to me authors! I'm excited for A Wedding on Lilac Lane by Hope Ramsay and Hummingbird Lane by Carolyn Brown!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the warmer weather PJ!💜
As we all know, I am a book junkie, so althojgh I do not have any specific books right off the top of my head, I always look forward to books...almost any books.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to what ever information you have to give us.
I hope that everyone is staying well.
I am looking forward to Bookshop by The Sea by Denise Hunter, How To Train Your Earl by Amelia Grey, and A Cowboy Kind of Love by Donna Grant.
ReplyDeleteBreezie's story was wonderful!! But you missed sharing Rocki's book. I've read so many of my April's ARCs already but I will admit that today I've spent the day reading Priscilla Oliveras' Anchored Hearts is amazing!! I won't stay up all night to finish, but highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying Priscilla Oliveras' new series.
DeleteI'll definitely review Rocki's next book but I won't put it on the schedule until I have either the ARC or the final copy in hand. :)
So far this month, I have read:
ReplyDeleteThe Games Lovers Play by Stephanie Laurens, #9 Cynsters Next Generation,mediocre at best. I'm thinking of stepping away from Laurens' work for awhile.
The Heiress Hunt by Joanna Shupe, #1 Fifth Avenue Rebels Series, love her work!
Save a Horse, Ride a Viscount by Valerie Bowman, #4 The Footman’s Club Series, great series!
Coming up the rest of this month:
What the Devil Knows by C S Harris, #16 Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery series. Love this series!
Murder at the Capitol by CM Gleason, #3 Lincoln's White House Mystery series, another good series!
To Steal a Heart by K. C. Bateman, #1 Secrets & Spies series, new-to-me author.
Girl in the Painting, The by Tea Cooper, Historical Fiction, new-to-me author (Goodreads book win).
Happy Spring & Happy Reading!
Janna MacGregor has a story in an anthology coming out tomorrow that I'm looking forward to reading.
