This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

I’ve been in love with Trace Bishop half my life…  And I’ve been hiding it just as long.

He’s my father’s best friend.  The man who tracked me down and kept me safe my entire childhood…

The man who looked me in the eyes six years ago and said we were impossible.

So I poured my longing into love songs. Songs no one knows are about Trace.  I shared them with the world under a secret identity and won a Grammy. Just another thing to hide. 

Then one stupid kiss changes everything.

Trace can’t want me back.  It would cost him his friends, his family, and the life he’s built.  And I’m tired of wanting the impossible.   So I run…

Straight into the crosshairs of someone who knows all my secrets and doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Trace does what he always does–he finds me.  But this time, he’s not tracking his best friend’s son. He’s tracking the man whose kiss he can’t forget.  The man he’ll burn his life down to keep. 

Because if Trace and I want a chance at forever, hiding is no longer an option.


This book is totally not my favorite trope. The only reason it is on my tbr is because it is the third generation of this family and I have read every book up until now. I feel bad skipping a book in such a long running storyline. I can at least start it and see if I like it.

On a sad note, my Mother passed away on Sunday. Not what I wanted so soon after my Father's passing, but it is what it is. Never thought this is how it would end for either of them. Mom went quick after she "fell" and broke her hip. Her brain (dementia) just never recovered from the anesthesia from surgery. She was not the same person when she woke up. I highly recommend not placing a loved one in long term care at a nursing home.

Waiting On Wednesday (771) The One-Night Heist (Stolen Art, Stolen Hearts #1) by C. Rochelle

Expected Publication: August 28, 2026
Genre: MM, Romance


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

For fans of Knives Out, The Thomas Crown Affair, White Collar, The Art Thief, and The Mastermind, with the humor of The Blonde Identity mixed in, this dark MM rom-com asks, how much will you risk to get everything you’ve ever wanted?

As the sole heir to his family’s estate, Giancarlo Luxford is focused on one thing: auctioning off his late mother’s art collection to the highest bidder. A chance encounter with an ex-con has him setting his sights on a new goal, and nothing—not even the threat of mutual destruction—will stand in his way.

Longtime grifter Rowen Quincy only cares about the game, but after one too many bad decisions, he finds himself in a tight spot, dreaming of escape. Billionaire Giancarlo Luxford seems like an easy mark, and a ticket out of his situation, but this one-time heist may end up becoming the longest con of all.


I haven't read anything by this author before. I get a lot of recs from people I'm following on Goodreads, so I guess this author hasn't been prominent on there. So, new to me author, and I'll see if I like this book!

Waiting On Wednesday (770) Just the Pool Boy at Vampire Mansion by Ariana Nash

Expected Publication: August 28, 2026
Genre: MM, Romance, Paranormal


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Owen Marsh just wants to keep his head down and get on with job of being Coconut Grove's local pool boy.

But when he accepts the Witherbornes as clients, his life takes a turn in a very unexpected and potentially deadly way.

Vampires are out and they're part of the community, but he didn't expect to have to interact with one.

Now there's been a murder, the Witherborne heir is a hot, sexy disaster, and the pool's pH levels are way off...

It's just another day for the pool boy. What's the worst that can happen anyway?


This cover is SO far removed from what this author usually puts out that I didn't realize it was her! Her covers are typically very dark and moody (to match the stories!) so I've never read anything by her before. But this looks light and fun and I really need something different to read right now.

Waiting On Wednesday (769) Axes and Ohs (An Axford Brothers Novella) by May Archer

Genre: MM, Romance


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

They say everyone’s good at something, right? Well, my superpower happens to be making catastrophically bad decisions. Sabotaging my father’s multi-million-dollar ad campaign because his client was a homophobic jerk? Done.

Accidentally causing a viral scandal? Check.

Confessing the whole thing, then road-tripping from Manhattan to pickle-obsessed Winsome, Vermont, to apologize to the poor guy who got blamed? You bet your gherkin.

After this, I’m done with impulsive behavior for good. No more reckless choices. No more big gestures…

Until Carlos Morales sits beside me at the bar.

He’s gorgeous, kind, grounded, funny, and until approximately five minutes ago, straight. He lives for family, forests, and small-town festivals the way I live for nightlife, neon, and high fashion.

Flirting with him is foolish. Kissing him is worse. And falling for this man when our lives couldn’t be more different is either my next spectacularly impulsive disaster…

Or the best decision I’ll ever make.


This is a short novella set between books 1 and 2. I read alot of this author's works, and I like this series, so I'll be reading this book soon.

Waiting On Wednesday (768) Weathering The Storm (Perfect Catch #1) by Mandy Mackay

Expected Publication: August 7, 2026
Genre: MM, Romance


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Nick:

I’ve endured the worst weather the Bering Sea has to offer. Minus-30 temperatures. 40-foot swells. 50-knot winds.

But freezing rain and violent whitecaps aren’t what scares me the most out here. Every crabbing season, it gets harder to stay away from my first mate.

One heart-stopping smile at a time, Seth Rittenburg keeps chipping away at my walls. I know he’s just being a friend… but I can’t stop myself from wanting more.

Seth:

I’ve crewed the Suoja long enough to know what makes her tick. If only I could say the same for her captain.

Beneath Nick Lundvall’s calmly commanding exterior, there’s a warmth that calls to me as the bitter Alaskan winter approaches.

But Nick is my boss. More importantly, he’s straight. Isn’t he?


This is a new to me author that I've seen around but never read. (I don't read the author's usual MMF, but this book is MM so I'll give it a chance.) Also, I've never read a book about deep sea fishing, so I'm interested in that aspect. Who hasn't watched Deadliest Catch? Although I stopped watching after Captain Phil Harris died because my poor heart just couldn't take it anymore.

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Ethan Moore said yes when he should’ve said no.

Now he’s committed to a weekend at a remote luxury hotel--a murder weekend, if you will. The only person on Ethan’s murder-list is his coworker who caught him unawares with this over-the-top shenanigan. Oh, and the man who broke his heart years ago, who just so happens to be his co-detective for the event.

If Jordan Ferguson thinks Ethan has forgiven and forgotten, he is wildly incorrect. Can two broken hearts meet again and maybe get it right this time?

Real Chance is a novella set in the West Coast Forensics and Veiled Intentions universe, but it may be read as a standalone.


I've read all of the books in the West Coast Forensics and Veiled Intentions series, so of course I'll be reading this one! This book has already been released, but I somehow overlooked it with all the drama in my life right now. I'll be reading it soon!

Waiting On Wednesday (766) Sweet Something (Wood Hollow Stories #2) by Lane Hayes

Genre: MM, Romance


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Dexter:

The donut business is booming in Wood Hollow, along with my flag-football program. Now I’m ready to take on a new challenge—parenthood. See, I’ve always wanted to be a dad and it’s finally happening. Wood Hollow is the perfect place to raise a child. It’s quiet, safe, and the folks here are friendly.

One glaring exception is the grumpy lumberjack…who ends up being best friends with my surrogate. What are the odds?

Yeah…this will be interesting.

Viggo:

I’m a logger. I like wood. That’s it. Maybe that makes me a solitary person, but so what?

Unfortunately, I can’t ignore the handsome donut man’s new dad-to-be situation. Not when it concerns an old family friend.

Look, I don’t want to be involved, but I have no choice. And if that means I’ll have to step outside of my comfort zone and do people-y things to make sure Dexter is a going to be a good dad, so be it.

It doesn’t mean I like Dexter. He’s accidentally funny, kind of sweet, very hot, and—

Okay, fine.

Maybe I like him too much.


I've read and enjoyed a few of this author's previous works, and I really liked the first book in this new series, so I'm looking forward to reading more.

On a side note, I'm so done with the crappy year I'm having. My 88 year old mother with dementia fell and broke her hip and had to have a complete replacement. How do you rehab someone when they literally have no idea what you are instructing them to do? So now she'll probably never walk again and be stuck in a wheelchair or bed. And on top of that, our air conditioning went out and we've had to wait 5 days for a new installation in 90+ heat. Life is grand.

Waiting On Wednesday (765) Better with Kevin (Not That #4) by Isabel Murray

(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

This is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Charlie Galloway is handling it, okay?

No, he is more than handling it. He’s living his HEA with his handyman boyfriend, Kevin ‘The Corpse Finder’ Wallis, and his elderly dog, Phil. Business at The Chipped Cup coffee shop is booming. Media interest in the Cotswolds Collector—also known as the whack job who stashed dead bodies in Charlie’s house—has faded. The world has moved on, and now it’s time for Charlie to do the same.

He’s got a garage filled with a lifetime of junk that he’d prefer to leave in the past, but Kevin is itching to complete his self-appointed mission of turning Charlie’s dilapidated house into the home Charlie always dreamed of. Sorting through the clutter of unwanted possessions and unhappy memories is the last task on the list.

He’s put Kevin off for long enough. He wants to make Kevin as happy as Kevin has made him, and if hard, boring, physical labour is what makes Kevin happy (it is, the freak), who’s Charlie to stand in his way?

Besides. What’s the worst that could happen?

It’s not as if he’s going to find another dead guy.


Better With Kevin is a novella-length return to Chipping Fairford to check in with Charlie and Kevin, the protagonists from the third book in the series.

I loved the humor in this series, so I can't wait to read more!
