🌿 Well, I really needed that… And dare I say I still want more? * 🌿 Happy Friday friends! THE SIMPLE WILD by @katucker_ has been on my TBR forever, and with all the raving hub-bub and the release of the new sequel WILD AT HEART this week, I knew it was the perfect time to give it a go! * 🌿 So, I finished the audiobook of THE SIMPLE WILD on Monday, and I loved following Calla’s journey to Alaska! I was also really surprised at how her emotional story just consumed me, and although I enjoyed her happily-for-now, I wasn't ready to let go of Jonah and Calla. Thankfully, I timed it just right to jump on into WILD AT HEART, and the sequel was just what my heart needed! * 🌿 I can’t say enough how much I loved Calla and Jonah’s adventure in the Alaskan setting! I didn’t think it was possible, but I really adored both of their characters even more in this story. Although they faced challenges, together they were strong, and their romance was so perfectly sweet! * 🌿 I also loved the introduction to the new characters in the story, and I might be a little greedy here, but since these are my first reads by Tucker, I’m really curious to know if we’ll get more of Jonah and Calla and their amazing family of friends in the future?!?! * 💬 I’m really excited to dive into K.A. Tucker’s backlist now, so do you have any suggestions on what to grab up next??? * 😊 I hope you had a great week and have a lovely weekend to come!🍷 * #THESIMPLEWILD #WILDATHEART #bookrecommendations #goodreads #booksandflowers #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #romancebookstagram #romancestagram #romanceblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #booksharks #booklover #bookishladiesclub #booknerd #bookchat

🌿 Happy Monday bookworms, I hope the weekend treated you well! * 🤷‍♀️ How much time do you normally spend on your photos? * 🌿 Today’s #lovetoreadFeb20 and #bookishladiesfeb20 prompts were ‘Bookish Heart’ and ‘Book Heart’, and since I’ve never tried one I thought it sounded like a fun one to give a go. Guys, I totally struggled with this one! * 🌿 I’m really over-analytical and patience is definitely not my forte, so I took forever trying to stand and fan the books around on their sides and make a heart. Then I tried to do a peek-a-boo heart in the middle, but in a nutshell, both were an epic fail. So, my photo ended up being more in the literal sense, but hey, I got to use my heart dutch oven that’s been under the cabinet for years! 😂 * ❓So, back to my QOTD, how much time do you spend on your photos? Do you take a lot of time on your set up? Do you limit yourself to a certain amount of time or number of photos to use? Are you like me taking a million photos just trying to get the ‘perfect’ shot? Do you fret about posting one that’s not? * 🌿 I’m always so inspired by everyone’s lovely photos and really curious, so let me know. And just in case you’re looking for a new read, I recommend all of the books in my photo! * 😊 I hope you have a great start to your week and make it a great day everyone! * #bookishheart #booksbooksbooks #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #romancebookstagram #romancestagram #romanceblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #booksharks #booklover #bookishladiesclub #booknerd #bookrecommendations #Goodreads

❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day friends! Do you enjoy dressing up to celebrate? Personally, I’m perfectly okay with comfy pants and cuddles on the couch (with either the hubs, kiddos, or pets), but it’s always nice to fix up and have a little night out on the town too! 💃 * ❤️ Did you see that @aljacksonauthor has a new standalone coming out? And it’s a rockstar romance? KISS THE STARS will release on March 5th, and it’s part of her all-new Falling Stars Series! * ❤️ While I always enjoy her romances, man, can she steal my heart with her broody musicians! The Bleeding Stars Series was my first introduction to her writing, and every single story caught me up in all the feels. Especially WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES - Lyrik and Tamar will hold a special place in my heart forever! * ❓Have you read any romances by A.L. Jackson? Can you narrow down a favorite by her (it’s hard!)? * ❤️ I hope you have a lovely weekend with all of your sweets! * ✨ Here’s a bit about KISS THE STARS ✨ * A single mother. An up-and-coming drummer with a sordid past. Their paths never should have crossed. But when a senseless crime rocks Mia West’s entire world, she agrees to spend the summer hiding out at her rock-star brother’s mansion in Savannah until the storm blows over. What she never expected was the gorgeous, brooding drummer living in the guest house. His darkness a lure. His gaze a trap. She knows better than to go after what will hurt her most. Leif Godwin has two focuses in his life: his band, Carolina George, and seeking retribution for what was stolen from him. Mia was never supposed to be a part of the equation. Her eyes an appeal. Her body a temptation. Touching her is nothing but a sin. But will loving her destroy them all . . . * #HappyValentinesDay #KISSTHESTARS #booksandflowers #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #romancebookstagram #romancestagram #romanceblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #booksharks #booklover #bookishladiesclub #booknerd #bookchat

🌹 When it comes to authors with gorgeous book covers, who immediately comes to mind for you? * 🌹 Happy Friday bookies, I’m ready to rock the weekend! I don’t really have any big plans, so I’m looking forward to getting in some reading time for sure. I’m #currentlyreading GHOSTED by J.M. Darhower and the audiobook of THE SIMPLE WILD by K.A. Tucker, and so far I’m loving them both! * 🌹 @marianazapata always has really gorgeous covers, and FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE is one of my favorites. It’s simply beautiful, feels romantic, and I just love the colors! ❤️ * 🌹Taylor Jenkins Reid, Tracey Garvis Graves, A.L Jackson, and Mia Sheridan are just a few others who have covers that always catch my eye, and when it comes to ABSolutely smoking hotties, L.J. Shen has them down pat! Did you see the new cover for ANGRY GOD that she revealed yesterday?!?! 👀🔥 * 🌹 So, any big plans for you this weekend? I hope you have a great one ~ cheers! 🍷 * #Bookishladiesfeb20 - Beautiful Cover * #FROMLUKOVWITHLOVE #booksandflowers #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #romancebookstagram #romancestagram #romanceblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #booksharks #booklover #bookishladiesclub #booknerd #bookchat

💛 Happy Thursday friends! It’s been a crazy week here with temps in the 80’s over the weekend to snow yesterday. My car doors were frozen shut and the windows were totally iced over this morning, and to top it all off, I got chased down by our neighborhood Tom the Turkey while taking the kiddo to school! 🦃🤪 * 💛 Anyhoo, I was tagged by @brookobsessed to share my #sunstack to warm you up and brighten your day. I love the yellow spines, and I didn’t realize that I had so many hiding in my shelves! I would love to see your #yellowstack as well and tagged a few of you to join in - feel free to if you haven’t already! * 💬 Have you read any of these books, or what’s a color that always makes you smile? * 💛 I hope you’re having a great week - Friday is almost here! * #bookstack #booknerd #booklover #bookchat #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #bookgram #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #bookblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #booksharks #bookishladiesclub #romancestagram

☀️ Happy Friday Book Friends! It’s been such a cold and dreary week here, but guess what??? The sun is finally out today, and what a great start to the weekend! * ☀️ I’m starting THE LIFE THAT MATTERED by @authorjeweleann, which is releasing February 6th (next week!) and is the first book in her new Life Duet. It’s a thriller and sounds fantastic, so I can’t wait to see what kind of twisty journey she’ll take me on. The next book, THE LIFE YOU STOLE, will be released on March 12th, and I’m always so happy when I don’t have to wait too long between releases! * ❓Have you read Jewel E. Ann’s romances before? @booktwinsreviews1 recommended her to me awhile back, and I have just fallen in love with every book since! Who’s a fellow #booklover with recommendations that you know you can’t go wrong with? * 📚 You can read a sneak peek for THE LIFE THAT MATTERED on the blog, and here’s a bit about the book ~ * Sex isn’t love. Love isn’t sex. And friendship is neither. * The son of a French Olympic skier and a Malaysian fashion designer, Ronin Alexander has lived the life of a nomad, traveling the world to find his next adventure. * Life takes a dramatic turn when he meets Evelyn, a beautiful scientist who owns a bath shop in Aspen, Colorado. They defy all the rules of relationships, falling hard and quickly in love. * Their world intertwines with Evelyn’s two best friends, the Governor and his soon-to-be wife. The four become close—very close. * When tragedy strikes, things from their pasts are unveiled—unimaginable truths and the grim realization that life will never be the same. * Jewel E. Ann steps into another dimension with this mind-bending thriller, a provocative story that pushes boundaries and tests the true meaning of love. * #THELIFETHATMATTERED #readromance #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereader #romancenovels #contemporaryromance #romancebookstagram #romancestagram #romanceblogger #bookcommunity #igreads #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookworm #bookstagrammers #booksharks #bookishladiesclub #booknerd #bookchat
