Memorial Day is in our rearview and summer is just around the corner. It's time for warm summer days and those beach/pool/backyard books we can't put down. Here are the titles on our June schedule that I hope make you laugh, smile, and stay up reading way past your bedtime.
We're launching this month's schedule on Tuesday, June 3 with a review and giveaway of It Takes a Psychic by Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle. Krentz takes us back to the future for another Harmony page turner bubbling over with adventure, humor, romance, and irrepressible dust bunnies.
Wednesday, June 4 brings a review of The Lost Book of First Loves by RaeAnne Thayne, a heart-tugging women's fiction novel about family, second chances, and lasting love.
Don't miss my review of Brenda Novak's The Summer That Changed Everything on Thursday, June 5. This compelling novel simmers with suspense, complex family dynamics, and second chance romance.
Tuesday, June 10 brings a review and (signed) two-book giveaway of Debbie Mason's The Sweet Life. This feel-good women's fiction novel concludes Mason's Sunshine Bay trilogy and the humorous and heart-tugging stories of the multi-generation Rosetti women.
Join me on Thursday, June 12 for a tour review of Over the Sea to Skye by Sue Moorcroft. We're back on the Isle of Skye for the final book in Moorcroft's The Skye Sisters Trilogy, a story of family, adoption, starting over, and unexpected romance.
We return to the Formula 1 race circuit on Tuesday, June 17 with a review of Josie Juniper's Coming in Hot, a high-stakes romance between a sports journalist and a team owner. This is book two in Juniper's Frontrunners series.
Friday, June 20 brings a review of Small Town Hero, a western romance duet by Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates. One book. Two heart-tugging stories.
Stop by on Friday, July 21 for a review of The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain by Hannah Brown. I enjoyed the humor, heart, and sparkling banter of Brown's debut and am looking forward to diving into her second rom-com.
On Monday, June 23 I'll be sharing my thoughts about Eliza and the Duke by Harper St. George. This is book two in St. George's The Doves of New York series about illegitimate American heiresses who must marry an English title in order to claim their inheritance. Things don't always go to plan. I can't wait to dive in.
Santa will be here on Tuesday, June 24 with a review of Look Before You Leap by Virginia Heath. This is book two of Heath's humorous Miss Prentice's Protegees historical rom-com series.
What has Rosie Montague (or, for that matter, her parents, Romeo and Juliet) been up to since last year's A Daughter of Fair Verona? Don't miss my review of the newest installment in Christina Dodd's hilarious Daughter of Montague series, Thus With A Kiss I Die on Wednesday, June 25.
Join me on Thursday, June 25 for a review of The Love Fix by Jill Shalvis. This heartwarming tale of family, forgiveness, healing, and romance is a great summer read.
Maisey Yates always takes me on an emotional journey, especially in her women's fiction novels. Stop by on Friday, June 27 for a review of Cruel Summer. The tag line of "A Contemporary Opposites Attract, Forced Proximity Romance of a Life-Changing Road Trip" has me ready to pack my bags and hit the road with these characters.
We're rounding out the month on Monday, June 30 with a review of Writing Mr. Wrong by Kelley Armstrong. Armstrong's Finding Mr. Write was one of my favorite books last year and this author's second rom-com is shaping up to be just as enjoyable.
What are you looking forward to this month? Any trips on the horizon? Upcoming books to recommend?
Do your reading tastes change in the summer?

These books are all wonderful and perfect for enjoyable summer reading. I would love to go on a beach vacation with these books. Over The Sea to Skye interests me greatly. Wish I could travel there. Light reading in the summer with less angst.
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed the Skye Sisters trilogy. The first two books are Under a Summer Skye and A Skye Full of Stars.
DeleteNext Thursday- Monday I will get to babysit my 4 oldest grandchildren 5-13 while their parents enjoy a mini vacation. The 15-24 my sons are coming for a visit. My daughter’s family will come too. School ends June 12. Hoping for warm weather and sunny skies so the whole family can enjoy life on the lake.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add, I will be reading The Sweet Life by Debbie Mason next. My taste in books doesn’t really change in the summer. I’ve enjoyed most of the author’s (you have listed above) prior offerings. Always a treat to read their new releases.
DeleteI recently read Shanna Hatfield and Katie Nelson and RaeAnne Thayne and Davis Bunn.
Sounds like lots of good memories waiting to be made!
DeleteLook Before You Leap!

I love Virginia Heath's writing!
DeleteThere are so many good books coming out this month!! I'm really excited for Brenda Novak's book and the new Taylor Jenkins Reed book! I have nothing fun planned, other than reading lots of books!
ReplyDeleteWe are in between trips this month. I got a lot of reading done on the airplane & in airports last month. The next trip is driving, so not sure how much reading will get done. My reading habits don't change drastically because of the summer but I do tend to have less time during the day to read on weekends.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I are going out of town for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary next week. I do tend to add more summer themed books to the summer months mixed with other books for variety. I also like to read some Christmas books in July for my own Christmas in July celebration.
ReplyDeleteWe just returned from a trip to New York City, taking the train roundtrip from Durham, NC. It gave me two long, uninterrupted stretches to just read, more time than I have had in many, many months. There may be another trip from TN to Durham this month for our granddaughter's birthday. We are considering another trip mid-month to protest, but that is just an idea right now.
ReplyDeleteGreat books listed for this month, many by favorite authors of mine: Krentz as Castle (I love her in all three personas), RaeAnne Thayne, Novak, Mason, Lael Miller, Yates, and Dodd. I am behind on a few of these series, but hope to catch up. I am looking forward to the reviews.
Really looking forward to Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I don't have any trips planned, just hoping to catch up on my TBR :)
