Coming Attractions & Giveaway - - April 2026

 

April is upon us and that's no joke! Month four of this year dawned clear and bright in my neighborhood, a good harbinger for the days ahead and, hopefully, for a successful manned launch this evening. I plan to spend my day losing myself in a new book while soaking up some Vitamin D. Speaking of books, we have some great new stories on the agenda here at The Romance Dish. Let's take a look at what's on tap for April. 

We'll be kicking off the month of April on Friday, April 3 with a review of The Governess's Guide to Spells and Managing Misfit Marquesses by Amy Rose Bennett. This cross-class historical romance - plus a bit of magic - is the second book in Bennett's The Parasol Academy series. 

Tuesday, April 7 brings a review of Can't Get Enough of the Duke by Lenora Bell. It's grumpy/sunshine for the win in the second book of Bell's The Thunderbolt Club historical romance series. 

Join us on Monday, April 13 for a review of The Paris Match by Kate Clayborn. This contemporary romance features poignant emotion, a former sister-in-law's destination wedding, and going toe-to-toe with a mysterious, gruff best man...in Paris. 

We're bring an autumn vibe to small town murder, mystery, and romance on Friday, April 10 with a review of Murder at Cinnamon Falls by R.L. Killmore. 

Reviewer Nancy joins us on Wednesday, April 15 with a review of Magic and Mischief at the Wayside Hotel by Elizabeth Everett. Get ready for an unlikely romance in a hotel occupied by faeries, gargoyles, and a gnome with a bad attitude.

Nancy returns on Friday April 17 with a review of Family Lies by Karen Rose. This fourth book in Rose's The San Diego Case Files series is sure to bring edge-of-the-seat suspense. 

It's time to hit the track on Monday, April 20 with a review of All to Play For by Josie Juniper. This newest installment in Juniper's Frontrunners series features a F1 team's newest and only female driver and a rich, cocky British racing blogger in a battle of wills that just might end up in a life-changing romance. 

Stop by on Wednesday, April 22 for a spotlight on Body Man, a political thriller by Al Pessin. 

Join Nancy on Tuesday, April 28 for a review and giveaway of The Sea Spinner by Julie Johnson. I'm interested to read what Nancy has to say about this magical sequel to Johnson's bestselling The Wind Weaver. 

On Wednesday, April 29 I'll be sharing my thoughts about Nearly a Bride, the second book in Sabrina Jeffries' Lords of Hazard series. This historical romance is brimming with intriguing characters, unexpected twists, and heartwarming romance. 

Rounding out the month on Thursday, April 30 will be Nancy's review of Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan. The tag line for this book has me eager to read Nancy's review: Welcome to Thistlemarsh—a ramshackle estate where an impoverished orphan and a beguiling Faerie collide in an enchanting novel of love, revenge, and ruin.

That's what's on our schedule for the month of April. What are you looking forward to this month?
