There are a few new releases I’m looking forward to next month. Here are three of them.
SUGAR CREEK BY TONI BLAKE
I’m a sucker for contemporary romances set in a small town. I liked One Reckless Summer, Toni Blake’s first book set in Destiny, and knew I wanted to read Mike Romo’s story.
Blurb: Welcome to Destiny, Ohio—where two families have been at odds as long as anyone in town can remember.
Rachel Farris returned to her childhood home with one mission in mind: get Mike Romo out of her family’s apple orchard business and out of their lives. But hard-nosed and totally hot Mike, who happens to be the law in Destiny, is convinced the Farris clan stole the land from his family fifty years ago and he’s not backing down. Even when shapely trouble shows up in a pair of designer blue jeans. However, neither the hunky cop nor the sexy prodigal hometown girl can anticipate the electricity that heats things up whenever they’re together—adding new sizzle to an ongoing feud that’s raged for generations, and soon putting both their hearts at risk.
MAID TO MATCH BY DEEANNE GIST
I’ve been looking forward to reading this book ever since Wendy the Super Librarian blogged about it a few months ago. I’ve read one other book by Deeanne Gist so far – A Bride in the Bargain – and I enjoyed it. It was my first inspirational romance and I was very pleasantly surprised. The premise of Maid to Match looks equally interesting.
Blurb: From the day she arrives at the Biltmore, Tillie Reese is dazzled–by the riches of the Vanderbilts and by Mack Danvers, a mountain man turned footman. When Tillie is enlisted to help tame Mack’s rugged behavior by tutoring him in proper servant etiquette, the resulting sparks threaten Tillie’s efforts to be chosen as Edith Vanderbilt’s lady’s maid. After all, the one rule of the house is no romance below stairs.
But the stakes rise even higher when Mack and Tillie become entangled in a cover-up at the town orphanage. They could both lose their jobs, their aspirations…and their hearts.
SKIN TIGHT BY AVA GRAY
Skin Game, the first title in Ava Gray’s paranormal romance series, was one of my favourite books of 2009. Although I enjoyed Reyes and Kyra’s story, my favourite character was the enigmatic Foster. Skin Tight is his book.
Blurb: As a forensic accountant, Mia Sauter could usually tell when people had something to hide. She made her living exposing secrets while concealing her own. Then, in Vegas, she met a clever, ruthless man who called himself Addison Foster. One year later, she’s still haunted by his betrayal.
The truth of him had long ago been buried. Foster was only one name of many; he’d been so many men, he’d lost count. Reinvented as Thomas Strong and hell-bent on revenge, his mission is about to be compromised by the one woman capable of exposing him…
Reunited, they confront the explosive chemistry still crackling between them. But their chance meeting will have consequences, for a ruthless madman has his own deadly agenda. The question is—if they survive the fallout, will he choose love over vengeance?
Which new releases are you looking forward to in June?

Oi I WANTS Skin Tight!!
Which reminds me….
I need to order Maid To Match for work still.
Well, as you can tell from the blog at AAR, I’m looking forward to a ton of books in June. I will probably have to prioritize and buy them over several months, but still…June is looking like a good month! Maid to Match is sounding interesting to me, too. I’ve actually been to the Biltmore, so the idea of a story set there appeals to me.
@Edie: Me, too! I’m going green with envy when reading tweets from people who’ve already read it. It sounds like a fun book.
@Wendy: Glad to be of service!
@Lynn Spencer: Posts about upcoming books are one of my favourite book blog/site features. I always find at least one interesting new release that I didn’t have on my list.
