Be it a torrid love affair during summertime or that dream you’ve been praying to achieve, summer is the perfect time to try new things—like these books:

If Books Could Kill by Kate Eberle

What would you do if you were suddenly the protagonist of your favorite author’s next book? If she were a romance author, you’d probably be delighted, yes? But what if said romance author decided to start writing crime novels? That’s just the thing that happens to Roxie when she makes a wish and finds herself in what she thinks is the perfect meet-cute. At least until the guy tries to kill her.  

A Date With Death by Kelly Creagh

So there’s a children’s librarian. She’s having an awful night at this Halloween party, but this very quiet person in a Grim Reaper costume is patiently listening to her grievances. And then to make it all worse, she tumbles off a balcony—only to be caught by said Grim Reaper…who definitely doesn’t have any human flesh. That Grim Reaper? Totally real. But instead of actually reaping the person he was supposed to, he saved her life instead. No good. Catching feelings is definitely something Grim Reapers are supposed to do.

Yes, Chef by Grace Reilly*

Perfect for fans of It Happened One Summer, Reilly’s summer romance features a city girl and a grumpy chef who team up to open a restaurant in South Florida. For the ones who love tattooed bad-boy chefs, Jack is that type of surly-but-soft-on-the-inside man you love in a romance MC.

Just a Highland Fling by Naina Kumar

When Neelu makes the decision to make an appearance at her estranged father’s wedding in Scotland, she doesn’t intend to accidentally drive her future stepmother away before the wedding actually happens. When she agrees to help her father retrieve his fiancée, the pair is joined by Jacob, the hot bagpiper Neelu very recently had a one-night stand with. A road trip through Scotland to Skye with your father who you don’t really know and a hot poet you know biblically sounds like a heck of a time, doesn’t it?

We have even more new romance releases if you want them.
