Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings

(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Renowned cardiologist Carter Rogers is used to having things under control. His life, his prestigious reputation, his career, his future.

Things he can’t control this time around:

• His meddling grandfather

• His annoying gamer cousin

• Buggy South American jungles

• Being the meat in a feuding cartel sandwich

• Getting kidnapped by a monologuing drug lord

• Falling for the very hot, very mouthy ex-soldier from his past

In short, Carter’s peaceful, well-planned life has been… hijacked


I've really gotten hooked on reading this duo's series recently. This book is a spin off from their Licking Thicket series, so this is an automatic add to my tbr. I'm sure I'll enjoy it!

Waiting On Wednesday (509) All In With Him (Men of Summer #3) by Lauren Blakely

Expected publication: August 27th 2021 by Hot Men Books
Genre: M/M, Sports, Romance

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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Once upon a time all I needed was baseball, friends and extracurricular activities. Then everything changed when Declan Steele stormed into my life and upended all my priorities with his heart, his love, his passion.

So my next five-year plan will include this new ground rule — Love big.

Only, that’s easier said than done when my man and I come face to face with hard truths and new troubles about what it means to be all in.

That’s when I learn that finding love isn’t the hardest part. Keeping it is.

I am such a slacker! And I'm SO far behind on my Goodreads goal for the year that I may never catch up. I don't know what's causing my slump lately. Summer is usually my prime reading time, but I've been busy with other things. And I haven't been staying up late reading, either.

I have the first 2.5 books in this series waiting for me to read. So I just need to get to it. Easier said than done, but I am determined!!

Waiting On Wednesday (508) Codirection (Borealis: Without a Compass #4) by Gregory Ashe

Expected publication: August 17th 2021
Genre: M/M, 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 my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

A new home, a fresh start, a chance to do things right this time—and Shaw and North are determined to make it work. But the night of their housewarming party, things don’t go as planned. A reporter arrives, wanting to talk to North about his ex-husband, his father, and a criminal syndicate. No sooner have they gotten rid of her than another unwanted guest appears: a street boy named Nik, whom Shaw met months before, begging them to help him find his missing friend, Malorie.

Retracing Malorie’s steps, North and Shaw learn about the dangerous demimonde of runaway teenagers. Their investigation takes them into the path of men and women who have learned to profit off the suffering and abandonment of children: shelters, clinics, labor brokers, and pimps.

Meanwhile, North’s Uncle Ronnie is set on revenge, and his target this time is North’s father. As North struggles to track down Ronnie and put an end to the danger, he finds himself considering a deal with the devil, and the offer might be too good to pass up.

When North and Shaw find Malorie’s body, evidence suggests she was murdered—and that her death is connected in some way with a truck stop halfway across the state. But as they draw closer to the truth, the danger grows. The people who killed Malorie have the Borealis detectives in their sights, and North and Shaw must race to save their own lives before the killers can strike again.

I need to catch up on this series! I wonder if this is the last book with these guys? I have some strong opinions about this series - like 'Uncle' Ronnie has got to go, North and Shaw need some happy times, and I need a full blown HEA. Is that too much to ask? Dear author, don't make me hunt you down. We live in the same town. Sort of. Within 50 miles of each other. So, yeah, don't make me hunt you down.

Waiting On Wednesday (507) Down and Dirty (Down Home #2) by Parker St. John

Expected publication: August 5th 2021
Genre: M/M, Romance


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings

(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)

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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

One kiss ended in tragedy.

Now they have a second chance to do it right.

Rodeo pro Lane Bell has made a career out of punishing himself, but he can’t outrun his troubled past. Not when it shows up in an irresistible package to spring him from county lock-up and demand he come home.

Denver Reed is rugged and ripped, with a voice like smoke and eyes that watch every move he makes. Lane fell hard for him once, but never again.

Denver Reed has never known anything but denial. He once set the world on fire on the back of a bull, but his chance at fame is long gone. Because when Lane took off, it was Denver who sacrificed everything to clean up the shattered mess he left behind.

Denial has kept Denver alive all this time. Denying what he feels for the sinful bull fighter with the lightning eyes and quick grin. Denying the fact that he craves Lane more than air to breathe. Denying his very nature. Because Lane already broke his heart once. He can’t survive it a second time.

I enjoyed reading the first book in this series, so I've been waiting for this one to be released. It sounds angsty!! And dramatic!! I DO usually like angst, if it's done right, so I hope I like this!

I used to read a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of rodeo M/F romance back in the day. I just can't give up my cowboys!!
