Waiting On Wednesday (658) Best Play (Perfect Play #3.5) by Layla Reyne

Expected Publication: June 25, 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 is my favorite day of the week because I love sharing and discovering new books.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When the best play is the marriage already made…

By Friday, Agents Bishop and Marshall must: Solve an anything-but-routine burglary. Determine why the house’s previous owner was murdered. Avoid getting killed in the process.

Because on Saturday, Levi and Marsh have to: Keep an overdue promise to their son. Entertain a house full of friends and family. Say “I do” in the wedding their marriage of convenience turned true love deserves.

Marsh and Levi are determined to help a friend in need. But they’re already six months late for a very important date. If they’re not at the altar on time for their Christmas (in July) wedding, they’ll face their most terrifying enemy yet - their teenage son.


This author likes to write stuff that goes too far over the top for me. I read the first two books in this series and they were okay, just so many characters and so much going on it's hard to keep track. (And the bad guys! SO MANY bad guys!!) I guess I should read book 3 so I can then read this epilogue and know how it ends.

Waiting On Wednesday (657) Cicadas: A Totally Ordinary Epic Love Story by Avery Cockburn

Expected Publication: June 20, 2024
Genre: MM, Romance

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

Synopsis from Goodreads:

What if you had a second chance at a second chance?

One day in 1987
Budding scientist Joel and cowboy-quarterback Danny meet amid the arrival of seventeen-year cicadas. Like the loud, lusty insects, the boys bond through song, reveling in the heat and hope of early summer—until fate tears them apart.

One night in 2004
During the next wave of cicadas, Joel and Dan find their connection stronger than ever. Boyhood fascination becomes an irresistible (and inconvenient!) passion, one that will unite and divide them for another seventeen years.

One love to last a lifetime
At the dawn of 2021, Joel and Daniel reach out, and in a heartbeat, the years and miles between them fall away. But to make their next reunion last forever, they must face their troubled pasts and embrace their boundless future.

Cicadas is a uniquely American, ridiculously romantic tale about memory, nostalgia, and the courage to dance into an untold tomorrow.


The timing of this book? Perfect. (Although, it IS quiet now that the invasion is over.) I've never read this author before, but this book sounds cute, so I hope I like it!

Waiting On Wednesday (656) Hudson River Homicides (Memento Mori #4) by C.S. Poe

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The Cold Case Squad has a problem: someone won’t stop taunting Detective Everett Larkin. He’s been able to apprehend some of the worst criminals to ever stalk the streets of New York City, thanks in great part to forensic artist and boyfriend, Ira Doyle, but after their last case, events have taken a turn for the worse.

A body recovered from the Hudson River bears a message addressed to Larkin, as well as another token from Victorian mourning culture. And as nineteenth century hair jewelry leads Larkin deeper into the growing tangle of interconnected crimes, it becomes evident that solving these mysteries will come at a profound cost. To be a good detective, Larkin will have to put his relationship on the line by revisiting the past and enduring sleepless nights—lest the sender act on their threat against Doyle.

What began as a game of cat and mouse has turned into a fight for love and life itself.


So far, this is the BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!! I really, really can't wait for this book!

Waiting On Wednesday (655) Deadly Little Sparrow (Mafia Bound #1) by K.M. Neuhold

Genre: MM, Romance

(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:

Is there such thing as love at first bar fight?

I may be small and pretty, but what I lack in intimidation factor, I make up for in violence. I made a vow five years ago that the motorcycle club responsible for my brother’s death would pay the price, and I’m finally ready to collect. May God have mercy on the men who hurt my brother, because I don’t plan to.

Accidentally breaking the nose of the deadliest man in the city wasn’t my best move. Xaviaro Saviano, trigger man for the Moretti Crime Family, is now my own personal stalker. But if I have to go through him to deliver well-deserved justice, so be it.

Can love and revenge live in the same heart? I guess there’s only one way to find out…


I read a lot of this author's books, but I don't know for certain that I will like this book in particular, but I'll give it a try.
