Hide Your Wallet

Book Beat: Billionaire Heroines, Bollywood, & Ballerinas

Welcome to Book Beat! Think of Book Beat as Hide Your Wallet, Part Two!

In Hide Your Wallet, we talk about books coming out in a particular month that we really want to read. But there’s more to good books than just new releases!

Book Beat aims to highlight other books that we may hear about through friends, social media, or other sources. We could see a gorgeous ad! Or find a new-to-us author on a list of underrated romances! Think of Book Beat as Teen Beat or Tiger Beat, but for books. And no staples to open to get the fold-out poster.

We hope you find something new to read through Book Beat, and please let us know what books you’ve discovered recently!

  • Bed of Flowers

    Bed of Flowers by Erin Satie

    Author: Erin Satie
    Released: June 19, 2018 by Little Phrase
    Genre: ,
    Series: Sweetness and Light #1

    Bonny Reed is beautiful, inside and out.

    A loyal friend and loving daughter, she’s newly engaged to her small town’s most eligible bachelor. She’s happy for herself–but mostly for her family, who need the security her marriage will bring.

    An old enemy shatters her illusions.

    First Baron Loel cost Bonny’s family her fortune. Now he’s insisting that her fiancé has hidden flaws, secrets so dark that–if she believed him–she’d have to call off the wedding.

    How will she choose?

    When the truth comes out, Bonny will have to choose between doing what’s right and what’s easy. Between her family and her best friend. And hardest of all–between her honor and the love of a man who everyone wants her to hate.

    Sarah and I were pretty much fawning over the cover. Seriously, all of Satie’s covers are so soft and delicate and fantastic.

    Ballerina Laura Delgado is just one solo away from a dream job with the New York City Ballet. Then a drunken pas de deux at her cousin’s wedding results in the one thing she never wanted—a husband. TV producer Charlie Laughlin may be deliciously kissable, but she needs him offstage now, and out of her life.

    Perfect Disaster
    Charlie’s ready for marriage and kids, and on the lookout for just the right woman. Laura doesn’t fit the bill at all—but Charlie can’t stop thinking about the sultry way they moved together. And he can’t help but wonder if he can change the gorgeous dancer’s mind about leaving Miami with heated kisses that promise as much as they demand . . .

    Perfect Partners 
    Annulling their sham marriage is all Laura wants—until she gets to New York and realizes that leaving Charlie behind is easier said than done. Can a relationship that began as a hot mistake become the kind of love that will last forever?

  • Do Over

    Do Over by Delaney Diamond

    Author: Delaney Diamond
    Released: May 4, 2018 by Garden Avenue Press
    Genre: ,
    Series: Brooks Family #2

    She’s devoted to her daughters.

    Years ago, when her cheating husband left, Ella Brooks realized how much she’d changed and wasn’t sure how to get back to the woman she used to be. When she meets Tyrone Evers, the last thing she’s looking for is another relationship, but it turns out that the police detective is just too tempting to resist.

    He’s devoted to his job.

    Tyrone meets Ella when he’s investigating a break-in at her home, but ends up paying more attention to the wealthy socialite’s case, and her, than normal. After his wife cheated on him, he’s not looking for romance, he’s not looking for commitment, and he’s definitely not looking for love. But you don’t have to be looking for any of those things for them to find you.

    And when life gives you a second chance, do you take it or run for cover?

  • The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali

    The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan

    Author: Sabina Khan
    Released: January 29, 2019 by Scholastic Inc.
    Genre: ,

    Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her conservative Muslim parents’ expectations, but lately she’s finding that impossible to do. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly favor her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties her parents don’t know about. Luckily, only a few more months stand between her carefully monitored life in Seattle and her new life at Caltech. But when her parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, all of Rukhsana’s plans fall apart.

    Her parents are devastated and decide to whisk Rukhsana off to Bangladesh, where she is thrown headfirst into a world of arranged marriages and tradition. Through reading her grandmother’s old diary, Rukhsana gains some much-needed perspective and realizes she must find the courage to fight for her love without losing the connection to her family as a consequence.

    The author, Sabina Khan, says, “If you like snarky Muslim lesbians and Bollywood style drama…”

    DO I like snarky Muslim lesbians and Bollywood drama? Hell to the yes!!!

  2. Tam says:

    Sarah Morgan’s whole Puffin Island set (four romances) is on sale for the Kindle for $2.99. This is massively irritating for me because I bought one on sale and then paid full price for the other three, but others might enjoy it!

  3. Sarah says:

    Why can’t I find Love and Lies on kindle?? *Sob*

  4. Amanda says:

    @Sarah: Love and Lies won’t be out until January 2019!
