Wow! Happy I found You! Love your 2018 Fav books…I hope when you have some time and not reading you’ll stop by my “Cat’s Reading Den Book Blog” https://anauthorandwriterinprogress.wordpress.com – as I’m a bit slower reader than you! LOL.
I book market/promote for a select group of fine authors. I know you are not taking Review Requests right now. I do have TWO Authors you may just fall in love with though! …Kim Carter and Rusty Blackwood. Rusty’s Brand New Romance Drama, The Perils of Autumn IS an amazing read.
I’ll be visiting you often! 🙂

The Truth About Falling has definitely piqued my interest and I love that you’ve given me some unique options to choose from. I get really fed-up with your cliche “bodice-ripping” romance when there are so many other well-written and interesting reads out there. My recommendation to you is “Awake” by Lisa Battalia – it is book 1 of her Midlife Romance Series (https://www.lisabattalia.com/). This is a second chance at love, erotic read that is realistic, steamy, empowering and truly a romance for real women. I thought it was a unique read worthy of this list because it’s a romance story that wasn’t all about 20-somethings. This story is clearly written for women in the “messy” middle of life. The main character Lori is left by her husband of 20 years after dedicating her life to him and giving up on her own dreams to be the perfect wife and mother.
However, she reconnects with an old friend, Brandon, an FBI agent who has his own struggles. They have to juggle their kids, the distance, and all of the “adulting” issues that follow. They’re both fully developed characters with their own flaws and imperfections, which makes them relatable and easy to root for. The sex scenes are tastefully done, and overall, this is a great read for any romance fan. Let me know what you think if you check it out!
