Are you sad to bid farewell to summer or excited to welcome autumn? I had a great summer this year with lots of wonderful adventures but being a huge football fan, I'm always ready for September to roll around. Any other football fans in the house? Who are you cheering for? Have you read any football - or other sports - romances recently? I have a new hockey romance from one of my favorite authors on the schedule this month. Speaking of schedules, here's what's happening at The Romance Dish in September.
Brenda Jackson takes readers back to Catalina Cove, Louisiana in her newest contemporary romance, The Cottage on Pelican Bay. Stop by Tuesday, September 3 to read my review.
Our third Coastal Magic 2025 featured author steps into the spotlight on Thursday, September 12. Join me for a Q&A with Kate McMurray as we talk about her charming enemies-to-lovers romcom, Like Cats and Dogs.
I just can't get enough of the romances - and bromances - in Kate Meader's Rookie Rebels hockey series. Stop by on Monday, September 16 for my review of the newest book in the series, Hockey Wife.
Wednesday, September 18 brings a review of Brenda Novak's The Banned Books Club. This emotional women's fiction novel kept me reading way into the night.
How could I not jump all over a historical romance novel titled The Worst Duke in London? Especially when it's written by Amalie Howard. Stop by to read my review on Tuesday, September 24.
We're taking a trip into the realm of Romantasy on Wednesday, September 25 with a review of Sophie Jordan's A Fire in the Sky. I read this book yesterday, so engrossed in the story that I forgot to eat dinner. It launches a new series and all I can say to Ms. Jordan is, "Please write fast." I need to know what happens next!
Stop by Thursday, September 26 for our first holiday book review of the season. I'll be sharing my thoughts about Sarah Morgan's The Holiday Cottage. Morgan's holiday novels are always on my must-read list.
That's the Dish schedule for September. What are you looking forward to this month?
One randomly chosen person who posts a comment before 11:00 PM, September 3 will receive a print copy of The Duke's All That by Christina Britton (click to read my 5-star review).

I love the summer and I'm sorry to see it go, especially now that it gets dark earlier and earlier. I am looking forward to Kate Meader's book!
ReplyDeleteReady for fall! Love college football. Great books coming up.

Autumn is my favorite season, so yes I am happy to see it . However, it doesn't seem like it will be cooling off much. I am ready.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed football since cheering for our high school team...a long time ago. I don't enjoy pro football as much as I used to. It has changed. I do enjoy watching college football. My husband is a Gator, so that is our primary team to cheer for. Our daughter works at UNC Chapel Hill and her husband works at Duke. So they are on our cheering for list. I try to stay neutral when those schools play each other.
I've not read any sports themed books in quite a while. I look forward to your review of Hockey Wife.
Where do I begin? First of all, every book on your list is a book I would like to read. You have picked some of my favorite themes as well as some of my favorite authors.
ReplyDeleteMost of all, I am hoping to find a home to live in happily ever after. Various situations and events have just put me on a very slow track. I think I need to win the lottery to be able to afford a home. Do you think that if I bought lottery tickets it would help?
I enjoy college football. I cheer for SMU, where I went, and University of Texas, where I lived the longest and most recently. And girl's volley ball, U T has a great team. And Caitlin Clark and her impressive talent.
You may have noticed, I like sports. I am watching the Paralympics right now. The amazing athletes that represent their countries always bring tears to my eyes. When I think that there is so much anger out there in the world, these athletes show me courage and heart and friendship with one another. The world is not quite so bad.
Thanks for your list and thanks for allowing me to find so many books to lust after.
I am especially looking forward to reading your review on A Fire in the Sky and The Holiday Cottage. I love a good romantasy and I am crazy about Christmas stories since it is my favorite holiday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books coming up! I am looking forward to college football season - although so far the team my family roots for, Texas A&M, didn't play the best on Saturday.
