Waiting On Wednesday (714) Keep You Safe (Second Chance Ranch # 2) by Annabeth Albert

Expected Publication: August 7, 2025
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 Adler arrives at Second Chance Ranch, I know he’s trouble. He gets under my skin like no one else and threatens my quiet, orderly life as a ranch foreman.

When I have the chance to explore the chemistry between us while skinny dipping, I go for it because I know all too well that city slickers never stay long.

Except Adler comes back…

And I’m tasked with training him to be a ranch hand. No matter how tempting Adler’s easy smiles are, I can’t risk a repeat encounter.

Adler challenges all of that with chaos, rescue dogs, and an attraction that refuses to quit. As the weeks pass, our connection deepens. My rodeo days taught me how to handle a rough ride, but Adler has me falling fast.

Landing in the dirt is going to hurt, but I can’t bring myself to end things. Alder’s everything I never knew I wanted, but he won’t be content with staying in the shadows forever. Can I be the cowboy he needs and deserves before he’s gone for good?


These 2 guys didn't have any interractions in the first book, so I'm not sure how I feel about them as a couple. They totally give the grumpy/sunshine vibe, and they definitely have the age gap, so I'm going to read this even though those aren't my favorite tropes. I just finished reading the first book last night, so I'm ready to go with this one.

Waiting On Wednesday (713) The Arrangement (Executive Suite Secrets #3) by Jocelynn Drake

Expected Publication: August 15, 2025
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 never wanted to see Rome Ashbridge again.

So, of course, I need his help to save my job at the museum.

Now Rome has cooked up a scheme to torment me before he’s willing to make the job-saving donation to my department.

But this arrangement is poised to backfire and pull us together in the most unexpected way.

Can we move past the years of hate to find something even sweeter than the friendship we’d both cherished as children?


I previously thought I had never read this author before, but I've since realized that I did read her series of contemporary Christmas stories. I haven't read any of her paranormal stuff or her darker series. I think this series is a departure from what she typically writes, but I'm enjoying it so I'll continue reading.

Waiting On Wednesday (712) Hudson River Homicides (Memento Mori #4) by C.S. Poe

Expected Publication: July 31, 2025
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 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 endure sleepless nights—lest the sender act on their threat against his partner—as well as put his relationship on the line when clues lead in the direction of Doyle’s past.

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


This is my MOST anticipated book for the past 2 years!! Not only because I love this series and can't wait to read more, but possibly because the release date keeps getting pushed back again and again. I hope this is truly happening on time because I don't think I can take any more delays.

Waiting On Wednesday (711) Danny Hall Gets a Lawyer (Goose Run #1) by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey

Expected Publication: July 31, 2025
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:

Danny Hall is terminally single. That’s not surprising, given that he lives in the tiny township of Goose Run, Virginia, and the only other gay guys he knows live with him in his grandma’s house and are like brothers to him. It probably also doesn’t help his dating prospects that he works at a gas station.

When a series of petty disputes with his awful neighbor escalates into a legal matter, Danny calls in a lawyer. But when Miller Clarke turns up on his doorstep, Danny finds himself chasing more than just legal advice.

Miller Clarke is used to dealing with minor claims and oddball cases. But tree law? That’s a new one. He can’t exactly be mad though, not when his new client Danny is super cute and just Miller’s type. But Miller only intends to stay in the area for long enough to gain some experience before establishing a real career in the city. He doesn’t have time for a relationship, no matter how tempted he is. Miller’s got big plans, and Danny Hall and Goose Run don’t fit in with them.

You know what they say. The course of tree—true love never did run smooth.


This author has been around for a while, and I find it hard to believe I haven't read anything by her before. I saw this book and thought it sounded cute. I hope I like it!
