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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

What happened to my predictable life?

I had a stable life as a fire captain in Seattle, married to one of my best friends and raising two awesome kids. Now, my kids are grown, and my marriage is toast. I'm solidly past forty and back in my tiny hometown of Mount Hope, Oregon, filling in as a firefighter. My future is one big question mark keeping me up at night.

Also keeping me up at night? The short-order cook at Honey's Hotcake Hut.

Denver might be close to my age, but we're total opposites. The former rock roadie runs from stability, never puts down roots, and lives for the moment. I've never been with a man, but my fresh start has me trying all sorts of new things.

Big decisions loom for both our futures, and our time together grows short. I might have Denver's heart, but his trust is far harder to win. He's the answer to all my question marks, and I need him to believe in us. Can I convince him to give our love a chance?


I'm actually not super excited about the first book in this new series, but I have enjoyed reading this author's previous works, so I thought I'd give this a chance.

Waiting On Wednesday (644) Save Me (Forgive Me #3) by Ariana Nash

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Vitari Angelini knows selling a cache of Battaglia guns to a drug lord is not what Francis would call legal, but he’ll never find out. Besides, it’s for a good cause: Francis’s happy ever after. Happy endings aren’t for the likes of Vitari, and with his fake death recently exposed, it’s a matter of time before his father sends assassins.

But when the gun deal goes wrong, blowing their cover, all thoughts of a happy ending turn to dust in a desperate dash for the Colombian border. The net is closing, there’s nowhere left to run, Colombia is not the place to hide when you’re the son of the notorious mafia don, and on top of everything… Francis has a secret. A secret that will change their futures. A secret that has Vitari wondering… whose side is Francis on?

Francis hoped Panama would be a fresh start. Again. But Vitari’s not interested in settling down or trying to blend in. Whatever he’s doing that keep him away most nights, it’s definitely illegal. Then there’s the issue of the phone call … Francis should tell Vitari, but a confession like his might end them. Thoughts of a future soon take a back seat when they’re hunted out of Panama and Vitari is taken for ransom. The mafia life they’d tried to run from is not going to let them go.

If ever there was a time to fight for love, it’s now. But to save Vitari, Francis is going to have to be everything he fears, and secretly desires. There are few men more dangerous than one on the road to Hell. Giancarlo and the Battaglia, Sasha and the DeSica… They’re about to wish they’d never met a once-naive English priest. Because Father Francis Scott will go to Hell to save his angel.


I have a confession. I haven't started reading this series yet. Now I'm facing binge reading it. I've just been SO busy reading other books on my tbr, and my tbr keeps growing! I feel like I'll never catch up!

Waiting On Wednesday (643) Mr. Important (Honeybridge #2) by Lucy Lennox and May Archer

Expected Publication: March 14, 2024
Genre: MM, 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 New Year’s masquerade. One anonymous hookup. One billionaire-sized mistake.

Once upon a time, someone looked at my scrawny, impetuous eight-year-old self and nicknamed me Mr. Important… and I believed them.

That was my first mistake.

Two decades, a dozen failed careers, and a thousand meaningless hookups later, I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. My parents have decided I’m purely decorative, my brother thinks I need pep talks, and the gorgeous billionaire who hired me as a favor to my dad? He’s forgotten I exist.

So I’m done with mistakes.

Call it my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going after what I want… starting with the mysterious silver fox in the Roman warrior mask who approached me at the charity gala and offered me an anonymous one-night stand.

Unfortunately, when our masks come off I realize mistakes are not done with me.


I read both of these authors seperately, but a whole lot of crazy happens when they write together. I hope this book isn't too far over the top.

Waiting On Wednesday (642) The Lemon Drop Kid by Josh Lanyon

Synopsis from Goodreads:

How The Cookie Crumbled

As sole heir to the Bredahl Cookies and Cakes fortune, Casper led a comfortable, happy-go-lucky life. Some would say, a charmed life.

Sure, there were challenges: relentless pressure to join the family business, and his unrequited feelings for former high school crush Raleigh Jackson. But yeah, a charmed existence, compared to life after being arrested for murder and spending nearly a year in Chippewa Falls County Jail, awaiting trial.

Exoneration and freedom came at too steep a price. To say Casper isn’t in the mood for the holidays, is putting it mildly. In fact, the only thing he wants for Christmas is to see Detective Raleigh Jackson, the man responsible for wrongly putting him behind bars, get his just desserts.


This week I have another surprise release as my WoW. I follow this author on Patreon and she was supposed to be working on something else. But she chose to secretly write this instead, so... I guess when you're an indie writer you can do whatever the hell you want! LOL. Zero anticipation, but I'm still looking forward to reading this!
