šNight Shift by @carey_decevitoš
Goodreads Blurb:
"A serial killerā¦
A past that haunts no matter how much the distanceā¦
Which one will strike first?
Eighteen deaths over eight years has left Shane Peters itching to find his mark. The death that started it all ensured his obsession with the murderer who had turned his life into a living hell, leaving him to raise a newborn daughter on his own.
Starting over wasnāt the easiest thing, but Emberlyn Roth had managed by shear grit and the skin of her teeth. Itās too bad one canāt outrun their past.
A protector of the wronged, Shane is torn between his duty as a detective for the Jacksonville PD and a quest to find himself some peace. Red tape binds his capabilities and moonlighting as an investigator for Nightshade Securities has him feeling stretched thin. Late nights on the streets and his sense of duty keeps him from being the father he wants to be. Throw onto his already rickety house of cards, an attraction to the mysterious Emberlyn, the lead heās got on the murderer heās been hunting for nearly a decade, and threats his woman is receiving by an unsavory character from her past, and heās seriously tempted to take Dalton Kipperās offer to join his team in a permanent basis.
Rules have a place, but when youāre faced with losing the one that means most to you, lines can become blurred. With the fate of his familyās future hanging in the balance, heās ready to risk it all." #nightshift #careydecevito #romance #contemporaryromance #romancereader #Bookstagram #bibliophile #reader #read #readersofinstagram #readingissexy #booklove #booklover #Library #bookreview #Bookblogger #Bookblog
šššThe Start of Something Good by @authorjenniferprobst ššš Goodreads Blurb:
"When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sistersā B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isnāt easy when a fiery woman explodes into his lifeā¦
Itās businessānot pleasureāthat brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritatingāfrom his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.
But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?" #thestartofsomethinggood

Borden and Borden 2 by R.J. Lewis
Goodreads Blurb:
"Marcus Borden has always been used to power and control. After a crime-filled upbringing in a very harsh neighbourhood, Borden leaves his hometown, returning four years later mysteriously rich and unrecognizable, with one woman on his mind.
A woman he'll never have.
Pained by his devastating loss and filled with rage and guilt, Borden's world turns dark. *
As a fiercely independent woman, Emma Warne knows all about hard living. Having kept to herself most of her life, the last thing she expects is to be thrust into the world of infamous criminal Marcus Borden, the dangerous man the entire city fears and loathes. But the more she pushes him away, the more he comes back, taking over her life and stripping her of her control she desperately clings to.
Once Borden has his sights on her, Emma is going nowhere anytime soon, and what she doesn't expect least of all... is that she may not want to either. ******* WARNING: This is NOT a love triangle. This book contains sexual situations - of a very rough nature - violence, and strong language that may be offensive to some.*******" #borden

And hello GOREGOUS cover! šš Finding the Light by @h.m.sholander
Goodreads Blurb:
"Adventure. Chaos. Love. Despair.
Life can change in an instant. From a beautiful oblivion to utter destruction. I never saw it coming. I never believed this could happen. Reality brought us back down to the ground, ripping away a peace we never believed was possible. Our lives are far too complicated for us to live in a fairytale. Fairytales don't come true. Fairytales aren't real. Happiness is an elusive dream in our world. A thing we strive for but never quite reach.
One phone call destroyed us. Broke us into a million shattered pieces. Both of us falling, falling until nothing is left.
Somehow, someway, we'll make it through. Together weāre stronger than we ever could be on our own. This hideously, beautiful life won't tear us apart. It wonāt break us down. We wonāt let it. Because together this life is the adventure we always wanted but never dreamed of having." #findingthelight #escapingtheedge #hmsholander #romance #contemporaryromance #bookreview #Bookblogger #Bookblog #read #Reading #Bookstagram #booklove #booklover #Library #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #readingissexy #readersofinstagram #greatread #sexyread #allthefeels

The Choices I've Made by @authorjlberg
Goodreads Blurb:
"I swore Iād never go home again.
With nothing more than a few boxes and a beat up truck, I left behind my old life at the tender age of eighteen to pursue my medical career.
And I never looked back.
Twelve years later, I find myself traveling back to the sandy shores of that North Carolina town where my late father has left me his medical practice. Coming here means facing my pastā¦ My memoriesā¦ And her ā Molly McIntyre.
Growing up, Molly had been my entire world, first as a childhood friend and then so much more. Weād made promises to each other back then. Promises I broke when I walked away. And now that Iām back? Well, letās just say sheās not exactly the head of my welcoming committee. But even she canāt deny the undeniable spark that still burns so brightly between us and soon, weāre tumbling fast and hard into the past.
But I need to keep my eyes set to the future, because mine isnāt here in this dead end town. Not anymore.
All Molly has ever known is here, on this small island. Could I really ask her to give it all up? For me? If I walk away again, will she follow?" #thechoicesivemade

Present Over Perfect by @sniequist
Goodreads Blurb:
"LIVE A LIFE OF MEANING AND CONNECTION
Instead of pushing for perfection
A few years ago, I found myself exhausted and isolated, my soul and body sick. I was tired of being tired, burned out on busy. And, it seemed almost everyone I talked with was in the same boat: longing for connection, meaning, depth, but settling for busy.
I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, writer, and I know all too well that settling feeling. But over the course of the last few years, Iāve learned a way to live, marked by grace, love, rest, and play. And itās changing everything.
Present Over Perfect is an invitation to this journey that changed my life. Iāll walk this path with you, a path away from frantic pushing and proving, and toward your essential self, the one you were created to be before you began proving and earning for your worth.
Written in Shaunaās warm and vulnerable style, this collection of essays focuses on the most important transformation in her life, and maybe yours too: leaving behind busyness and frantic living and rediscovering the person you were made to be. Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection.
Shauna offers an honest account of what led her to begin this journey, and a compelling vision for an entirely new way to live: soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most to us.
In these pages, youāll be invited to consider the landscape of your own life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present, in the middle of the mess and the ordinariness of life." #presentoverperfect #shaunaniequist #selfhelpbooks #selfhelp #Bookstagram #bibliophile #reader #read #readersofinstagram #readingissexy #booklove #booklover #Library #bookreview #Bookblogger #Bookblog #mindfulness #simplelife #souful #living
