Waiting On Wednesday (649) Wild at Heart by Christina Lee and Riley Hart

Published: April 24, 2024
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 my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

BISHOP SULLIVAN
I’ve always known what my future had in store: inheriting the family ranch and having myself a wife and kids to carry on the Sullivan name. Porter Dixon never factored into those plans. We may have spent our teenage years sneaking away to lose ourselves in each other, but he always held me at arm’s length…until the day he up and left without so much as a goodbye.

PORTER DIXON
After everything I’ve lost in my life, it’s important that I keep myself tightly guarded. Especially around Bishop Sullivan. Dad would be rolling in his grave if he found out I was shacking up with a Sullivan, given the bad blood between our families. But eleven years after leaving, I’m back in Laurel Springs with something to prove: I don’t need the Sullivans, nor their land.

Except, damn it all, Bishop has this way of burrowing under my armor. The magnetic draw between us is still too hard to ignore, and what starts out as boss and ranch hand quickly turns into stolen moments and simmering encounters that make it hard to stay angry.

I want to think that love can conquer all and tame my wild heart…but the past isn’t so easy to forget.


I used to read a LOT (like tons!) of M/F cowboy romance back in the day. My love for cowboys started early when I used to 'borrow' books from my Mom's bookshelf! I got away from M/F romances in recent years, but I haven't picked up too many M/M cowboy books, so this will be something different for me. I also don't remember if I've read these 2 authors together or not? I just can't be bothered to look it up right now. LOL

Synopsis from Goodreads:

He was born to write mysteries. Now, he has to solve them.

When Dashiell Dawson Dane moves across the country to a small seaside town called Hastings Rock, he has one get away from his ex. Okay, two goals - because he wouldn't mind a little help from his new boss, celebrity mystery author Vivienne Carver. With Vivienne's mentorship, Dash is sure he can get over this blasted case of writer's block and start telling his own stories again.

The only problem? Vivienne is murdered on Dash's first night at Hemlock House. And when police find a secret passage that connects Dash's bedroom to Vivienne's, they're sure they know who did it. Now Dash has to prove his innocence - and the only way to do that is to figure out who really killed Vivienne Carver.


I've read this author's work before and really enjoyed it. I *think* this may be a 'cozy' series, so something a little different. And he's from here in St. Louis, so that's kinda cool.

Max 5/10/2010 - 4/10/2024

We had to say goodbye to our dog last week, so I've been going through it with all the sad feelings. It's hard getting used to him not being around after spending all day, every day of his life with him.

Waiting On Wednesday (647) A Spooky Legacy (The Spectral Files #5) by S.E. Harmon

Published: April 9, 2024
Genre: Paranormal, Romance, MM


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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Rain Christiansen is settling into married life with fellow cold case detective, Daniel McKenna, and life is good. Better than good, even. But when it comes to the topic of expanding their family, Rain isn't so sure he's ready. Yes, a new addition could enrich their lives. But it could also tear down the delicate balance they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Do they really want to take that risk?

He’d love to brood over that a little more, but murder never takes a day off. A decade-old mystery of the missing Parker family is heating up. Most seem to think the Parkers pulled a disappearing act to get out of financial debt. It isn’t before the PTU finds out the reality is far grimmer than that. It seems that Quinn stumbled upon something better left hidden. Now that Rain has stumbled upon it, too, he has to be careful that he doesn’t meet the same fate.

Sometimes it amazes him how far he’s come from strait-laced FBI agent who couldn’t admit—even to himself—that he saw ghosts. He’s done the work, learning to get some measure of control of his paranormal side. And while his relationship with ghosts may not be perfect, it’s evolved into something symbiotic... which is a very good thing. Because in order to protect himself from the living, he might need a little help from the dead.


The first book in this series is the BEST THING EVER. It was originally intended as a stand alone, but due to it's popularity, the author continued the series. Personally, I think things went too far over the top in about book 3. I didn't like the added 'extra' paranormal abilities Rain discovered after being able to communicate with dead people from a young age. I think this is the last book in this series, but it's really to give the fans a true 'ending'. I'm looking forward to reading it because I like the couple and the cases they solve.

Waiting On Wednesday (646) Death in the Spires by K.J. Charles

Expected Publication: April 11, 2024
Genre: Historical, Mystery, LGBT+


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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The newspapers called us the Seven Wonders. We were a group of friends, that’s all, and then Toby died. Was killed. Murdered.

1905. A decade after the grisly murder of Oxford student Toby Feynsham, the case remains hauntingly unsolved. For Jeremy Kite, the crime not only stole his best friend, it destroyed his whole life. When an anonymous letter lands on his desk, accusing him of having killed Toby, Jem becomes obsessed with finally uncovering the truth.

Jem begins to track down the people who were there the night Toby died – a close circle of friends once known as the ‘Seven Wonders’ for their charm and talent – only to find them as tormented and broken as himself. All of them knew and loved Toby at Oxford. Could one of them really be his killer?

As Jem grows closer to uncovering what happened that night, his pursuer grows bolder, making increasingly terrifying attempts to silence him for good. Will exposing Toby's killer put to rest the shadows that have darkened Jem’s life for so long? Or will the gruesome truth only put him in more danger?

Some secrets are better left buried…


Per the author, this is NOT a romance. I've previously read some of this author's historical romances, which have some murder mystery elements, so I think I'll still like this even without the romance.
