On Circus Lane
(The Wright Brothers #1)
by Lily Morton

Expected Publication: December 17, 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:

The first time Bee Bannister met Tom Wright, he couldn’t stand him.

Everything about the man aggravated him—his perfect hair and body, his confident arrogance, and the way he looked straight through Bee.

Which is why it’s such an unpleasant shock to find that he’ll be sharing space with him while on a Christmas holiday with friends in Scotland. 

However, as the days fly by and snowy Edinburgh begins to work its magic on him, Bee discovers that sometimes first impressions can be very misleading. Tom is kind and funny, and somehow, rather than looking through Bee, he actually sees and likes all of him.

The two men grow closer, but will Bee follow his heart or his head when the holiday ends? And can relationships that start so badly ever lead to love?

This is another surprise release for me. AND it's now book #1 in a series where I read book #2 (Merry Measure)in 2020? Okay. I'll roll with that. Aha! Turns out the protagonist from Merry Measure is brothers with Tom from this book. Now I get the Wright Brothers series title. Duh. Another Holiday read for me in a year in which the season is getting me down. I'm in serious need of uplifting!

Waiting On Wednesday (682) Symphony of Salvation (Timber Creek Academy #2) by Nicky James

Symphony of Salvation
(Timber Creek Academy #2)
by Nicky James

Expected Publication: December 13, 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:

Music teacher Niles Edwidge gets the shock of his life when Maestro Augustus Castellanos, a world-renowned musician and composer, shows up at Timber Creek Academy. Not only has the maestro been asked to guest teach alongside Niles, but he’s brought his prodigy daughter and enrolled her as a student.

Niles has been waiting for the day the academy decided to replace him. His educational background falls short of the school’s usual demands, but a revered maestro? It doesn’t make sense. Why would such a prominent figure want to teach high school music?

Fearing for his job and envious of the other man’s career, Niles doesn’t give the maestro a warm welcome, but their feud doesn’t last when Niles learns the respectable musician is struggling with a mountain of problems and would prefer to be anywhere but Timber Creek.

As the truth about August’s troubled life surfaces, so too does a secret he has carried for decades.

As a self-proclaimed repressed bisexual, August rarely allows himself the freedom to explore his sexuality, but an undeniable attraction to Timber Creek’s music teacher threatens to test his resolve. 

He can’t afford to fall for Niles. He has a life and responsibilities outside Timber Creek. 

The minute his obligations are fulfilled, he’s out the door.

Unless he finds a reason to stay…

I discovered a long series from this author that I really enjoyed, so now I want to read everything she writes. I didn't even know this was going to be a series, so this book was a surprise to me! I hope I like it.

Waiting On Wednesday (681) Protecting Mr. Fine (The Billionaire Brotherhood #4) by Lucy Lennox

Protecting Mr. Fine
(The Billionaire Brotherhood #4)
by Lucy Lennox

Expected Publication: December 10, 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:

I’m a lucky man and I know it. 

Kids from backwoods Georgia don’t land scholarships to Yale, but I did, and striking it rich–like, billions of dollars rich–with my best friends after graduation should have used up my luck for a lifetime. 

But luck struck again when I followed my passion into music. My career exploded, and now I get to travel the world, performing for thousands of raving fans every night. 

When you get this lucky, you don’t get to want more, and you definitely don’t get to complain about the little things. My family, my crew, and my label are counting on me and I refuse to let them down. I pretend I’m fine, totally fine, Mr. freaking Fine… even when someone starts targeting me with a strange series of threats. 

The only one who sees beneath the pretense is my gorgeous, strictly-professional bodyguard. Ryan keeps me safe and calm. He holds me when I’m terrified. 

But even Ryan doesn’t see everything. He doesn’t know I want him. That I crave him. The man who keeps me together has no idea how much I want him to take me apart. 

And I’ll never tell. Because there’s no way someone as strong and confident as Ryan could have feelings for someone as chaotic as me.

Nobody’s that lucky… not even Mr. Fine.

Yay! Another book by an author that I like! I'm only 1 book behind on this series (but that book came out in October and I've been busy reading other things.) So I don't know when I will get around to catching up because December is reserved for my Christmas reading. Too many books, not enough time!
