August has arrived and with it, the hot, humid, dog days of summer. It's a perfect month for cozying up in the air conditioning with a good book. And speaking of books, here are the ones we'll be chatting about this month at The Romance Dish.
We kick things off on Friday, August 2 with a review of Sanctuary, a new novella by Ilona Andrews.
Join us on Monday, August 5 when Hellie returns with a review of Jewel Me Twice by Charish Reid.
Don't miss my review of Hot Earl Summer by Erica Ridley on Friday, August 9. This newest installment in Ridley's The Wild Wynchesters series is sure to entertain.
Wednesday, August 7 brings a review of Make it Real by Nan Reinhardt. River's Edge stories never fail to bring the emotion and the feel-good fun.
Join me on Thursday, August 8 for a blog tour review of Second Tide's the Charm by Chandra Blumberg. This one left me thoroughly charmed.
Monday, August 12 brings our second Coastal Magic 2025 Featured Author Spotlight. Stop by to meet Catherine Bruns and learn more about her cozy mystery books.
Stop by Thursday, August 15 for a review of The Bookshop Sisterhood by Michelle Lindo-Rice.
We're going back to college on Friday, August 16 with a review of Wicked Serve by Grace Reilly.
Join us on Tuesday, August 20 for a review of The Heiress Masquerade by Maddison Michaels. This is book two in Michaels' Dollar Princess historical romance series.
Don't miss our review of Good Duke Gone Wild by Bethany Bennett on Thursday, August 22. This one was worth the wait.
Stop by on Monday, August 26 to read my thoughts on Her Missing Pieces by Susan Sands. When a book has the tagline, Showing up from the dead is best done in person..., you know it's going on my must-read list.
Santa will be here on Tuesday, August 27 with a review of You're the Problem, it's You by Emma R. Alban. This Victorian enemies-to-lovers queer romance is the second book in Alban's Mischief & Matchmaking series.
I'm excited to read this third book in Nisha Sharma's If Shakespeare Were an Auntie contemporary romance series (loved the first two). Stop by Wednesday, August 28 for my review of Marriage & Masti.
Hellie joins us on Thursday, August 29 with a Top Dish review of Magical Meet Cute by Jean Meltzer. I immediately preordered a copy for myself as soon as I read Hellie's review.
That's what's on tap here this month. What are you looking forward to in August? Are any of these titles on your must read list?
One randomly chosen person who posts a comment before 11:00 PM, August 3 will receive a print copy of This Summer Will be Different by Carley Fortune.

Sounds like a great bunch of book. I looking forward to reading your reviews. Thanks PJ
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to doing a family activity with the local cat cafe before school starts. I have some of Catherine Bruns books on my TBR pile.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read Jean Meltzer for awhile, and Grace Reilly's books also look good! I have a pre-ordered book coming - Miranda in Retrograde by Lauren Layne. I love her books!
ReplyDeleteHello, August! Looking forward to so many of those books, especially Susan's, Jean's, and Nan's.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Jean Meltzer's novels. Many that you have featured look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to Sanctuary by Ilona Andrews and You're the Problem, it's You by Emma R. Alban!
ReplyDeleteWOW- so many new to me authors and books that sound wonderful. I am in awe. Still waiting for my house to close so I can look for another. So reading has become a big deal for me to help with my anxiety. Thanks for the introduction to so many new authors and for showing me so many books which sound interesting to me. You do a marvelous job of making my TBR pile large enough to topple over and kill me.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing I'm excited for this month is my niece's wedding! She's getting married on Chincoteague island and I'm looking forward to visiting it too even if it is only for a couple days. I have been waiting for Hot Earl Summer too!
ReplyDeleteMagical Meet Cute and Wicked Serve look good! I haven't read either author before.
ReplyDeleteLots of new authors to me this month, but i did see Susan Sands and love her books!! And its my birthday month!!!
ReplyDeleteLate here tonight. Our internet has been down more than working for over 3 weeks. I will be digging through my TBR pile to see what strikes my fancy. I am finishing A Chain Of Pearls by Raemi A. Ray and have The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah to read for a book club. I look forward toCatherine Bruns from Coastal Magic. Still hoping I can plan that far ahead.
