He’s determined to show Leigh, one passionate note at a time that the music they make together will last a lifetime.

Marriage of Inconvenience
Author: Penny Reid
Released: March 6, 2018 by Cipher-Naught
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: Knitting in the City #7There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.
Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.
Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?
Elyse says: Knitting + Romance = Elyse Trap.

The Baby Plan
Author: Kate Rorick
Released: March 20, 2018 by William Morrow Paperbacks
Genre: Chick Lit, Literary FictionIn Kate Rorick’s first adult fiction novel, we enter the wild, bewildering world of modern pregnancies. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shake your head as you wonder where everyone’s sanity went…
Meet the mothers…
Nathalie Kneller: Nathalie’s plan: to announce her pregnancy now that she’s finally made it past twelve weeks! But just as she’s about to deliver (so to speak) the big news to her family, her scene-stealing sister barfs all over the Thanksgiving centerpiece. Yup, Lyndi’s pregnant too, swiping the spotlight once more…
Lyndi Kneller: Lyndi’s plan: finally get her life together! She’s got a new apartment, new promotion, new boyfriend. What she didn’t count on—a new baby! She can barely afford her rent, much less a state-of-the-art stroller…
Sophia Nunez: Sophia’s plan: Once she gets her daughter Maisey off to college, she’ll finally be able to enjoy life as make-up artist to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, and girlfriend to one of rock’s hottest musicians. But after 18 years she discovers the stork is once again on its way…
Now these women are about to jump headlong into the world of modern day pregnancy. It’s a world of over the top gender reveal parties (with tacky cakes and fireworks); where every morsel you eat is scrutinized and discussed; where baby names are crowd-sourced and sonograms are Facebook-shared. And where nothing goes as planned…
Sarah says: Kate Rorick/Kate Noble writes very funny conversations between very smart people, and I’m curious to see how this story, about three women who are pregnant at different stages of their lives, turns out.

Pleasure takes priority during the twelve days of Christmas in Queen Elizabeth’s court, and newcomer Mary Montgomery jumps in with abandon. Unfortunately, such joie de vivre also leads to accusations that she has stabbed an earl, impersonated the Queen, and punched a countess in the face.
Despite the gossip swirling about her, Sir Charles, a knight and member of the Queen’s Guard, is drawn to her vibrancy. After all, scandals are nothing new at Queen Elizabeth’s court. Unfortunately, Mary does not have the wealth or rank to survive them unscathed and soon finds herself on the outside of society’s good graces. And though his loyalty taints his own reputation, Charles continues to stand by Mary’s side.
He knows his intentions and where his priorities lie—he just isn’t sure how she’ll react when she finds out that the man who ruined her reputation is his half-brother. Indeed, before she can accept his affections, Mary must not only forgive herself for her past but realize she is worthy of love.

Genre: Historical: American, Mystery/ThrillerThe “clever and wonderfully chilling” (Fiona Barton) suspense novel from the award-winning author of The Haunting of Maddy Clare…
Vermont, 1950. There’s a place for the girls whom no one wants–the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the too smart for their own good. It’s called Idlewild Hall. And in the small town where it’s located, there are rumors that the boarding school is haunted. Four roommates bond over their whispered fears, their budding friendship blossoming–until one of them mysteriously disappears. . . .
Vermont, 2014. As much as she’s tried, journalist Fiona Sheridan cannot stop revisiting the events surrounding her older sister’s death. Twenty years ago, her body was found lying in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And though her sister’s boyfriend was tried and convicted of murder, Fiona can’t shake the suspicion that something was never right about the case.
When Fiona discovers that Idlewild Hall is being restored by an anonymous benefactor, she decides to write a story about it. But a shocking discovery during the renovations will link the loss of her sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past–and a voice that won’t be silenced. . .
Elyse says: I actually read this already and it is AMAZING!
Sarah says: Elyse says it is so, so good, and is all about women protecting one another. I’ve been reassured that it is Safe for Sarahs/Sarah’s Brain.

When a handsome earl offers to wed her and send her back to Cornwall with a hefty allowance, Tamsyn agrees. After all, her secrets could land her in prison and an attentive, love-struck spouse could destroy everything.

Emergency Contact
Author: Mary H.K. Choi
Released: March 27, 2018 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Genre: Romance, Young AdultFrom debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward glory—perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.
For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind.
Sam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him.
When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.
Amanda says: Honestly, I’m just in love with this cover.

Genre: Gothic, Historical: European, Romance
Series: The Mad Morelands #6She’s too prim
Lilah Holcutt dislikes Constantine Moreland from the moment she meets him. He may be handsome, but he’s frivolous, rash, impulsive and, worst of all, a flirt. Now that Con’s twin brother has married Lilah’s best friend, she’s seeing way more of Con than she’d like. And when Con’s sisters are inexplicably kidnapped, Lilah’s own curiosity and stubbornness get the better of her, and she finds herself swept into Con’s investigation.
He’s indifferent to propriety
Con knows that Lilah hates him—he just wishes she weren’t so devastatingly beautiful, that he weren’t so attracted to her. Especially since they’re working closely together to solve the kidnapping, an adventure that leads them to Lilah’s peculiar childhood home, Barrow House, which sits atop an ancient fen and features an eerie maze on its grounds.
They’ll have to join together to conquer a sinister force
The more Con and Lilah uncover, the more they’re convinced that the answers lie buried deep within Barrow House—answers to a mystery darker than either of them could ever have realized.
RHG says: It’s an “UGH YOU ANNOY THE SHIT OUT OF ME why is your hair so fluffy?” my best friend’s new husband’s twin mother is super annoying and so I cannot stop thinking about him. I love those.

Hot and Badgered
Author: Shelly Laurenston
Released: March 27, 2018 by Kensington
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
Series: The Honey Badgers #1It’s not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn’s hotel balcony. Definitely they don’t usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she’s a honey badger shifter, it’s too late.
Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won’t even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she’s not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He’s trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He’s cute enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if he can keep up . . .
Amanda says: HONEY BADGERS!
Sarah says: Sisters who look out for each other, complex examination of super powers and mental illness and managing both, and pure, unfiltered rage. Yes please!

Released: March 27, 2018 by Avon
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: Forbidden Hearts #3Being bad never felt so good, in the third novel in Alisha Rai’s sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
Well-behaved women don’t lust after men who love to misbehave.
Heiress Evangeline Chandler knows how to keep a secret . . . like her life-long crush on the tattooed hottie who just happens to be her big brother’s friend. She’s a Chandler, after all, and Chandlers don’t hook up with the help. Then again, they also don’t disobey their fathers and quit their respectable jobs, so good-girl rules may no longer apply.
Gabriel Hunter hides the pain of his past behind a smile, but he can’t hide his sudden attraction to his friend’s sheltered little sister. Eve is far too sweet to accept anything less than forever and there’s no chance of a future between the son of a housekeeper and the town’s resident princess.
When a wedding party forces Eve and Gabe into tight quarters, keeping their hands off each other will be as hard as keeping their clothes on. The need that draws them together is stronger than the forces that should shove them apart . . . but their sparks may not survive the explosion when long-buried secrets are finally unearthed.
Elyse says: I loved the first two books in this series.
Sarah says: I finally get to find out the big family secret, and Eva gets her romance, and it’s going to be so good.

The Other Mother
Author: Carol Goodman
Released: March 27, 2018 by William Morrow Paperbacks
Genre: Mystery/ThrillerFrom the author of the internationally bestselling The Lake of Dead Languages comes a gripping novel about madness, motherhood, love, and trust.
When Daphne Marist and her infant daughter, Chloe, pull up the gravel drive to the home of Daphne’s new employer, it feels like they’ve entered a whole new world. Tucked in the Catskills, the stone mansion looks like something out of a fairy tale, its lush landscaping hiding the view of the mental asylum just beyond its border. Daphne secured the live-in position using an assumed name and fake credentials, telling no one that she’s on the run from a controlling husband who has threatened to take her daughter away.
Daphne’s new life is a far cry from the one she had in Westchester where, just months before, she and her husband welcomed little Chloe. From the start, Daphne tries to be a good mother, but she’s plagued by dark moods and intrusive thoughts that convince her she’s capable of harming her own daughter. When Daphne is diagnosed with Post Partum Mood Disorder, her downward spiral feels unstoppable—until she meets Laurel Hobbes.
Laurel, who also has a daughter named Chloe, is everything Daphne isn’t: charismatic, sophisticated, fearless. They immediately form an intense friendship, revealing secrets to one another they thought they’d never share. Soon, they start to look alike, dress alike, and talk alike, their lives mirroring one another in strange and disturbing ways. But Daphne realizes only too late that being friends with Laurel will come at a very shocking price—one that will ultimately lead her to that towering mansion in the Catskills where terrifying, long-hidden truths will finally be revealed…
Elyse says: This gothic thriller looks really messed up and perfect for me.

The Secret of Flirting
Author: Sabrina Jeffries
Released: March 27, 2018 by Pocket Books
Genre: Historical: European, Romance
Series: Sinful Suitors #5“Quick pacing, witty dialogue, and charmingly original characters set Jeffries’ books apart” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), and The Secret of Flirting is the next thrilling romance in the bestselling Sinful Suitors series!
The moment spymaster Baron Fulkham meets the stunning Princess Anne of Chanay, he’s positive her royal persona is a ruse and that she’s actually Monique Servais, the mysterious actress he met three years before in Dieppe. But as he pursues his suspicions, he uncovers a plot of attempted assassination and betrayal that could very well destroy his career, expose his own secrets…and ruin the woman he’s rapidly coming to love.
The Secret of Flirting is a sizzling historical romance filled with fast-paced storytelling, an enchanting heroine, and a sexy hero, perfect for fans of Regency romance.
RHG says: He’s a spymaster, she’s a princess or maybe an actress, maybe there’s some light assassinations. Basically this looks like a bunch of plot and I’m in the mood for a lot of plot, especially if there’s a fake princess.

Whiskey Sharp: Jagged
Author: Lauren Dane
Released: March 27, 2018 by HQN Books
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance
Series: Whiskey Sharp #2The sweetest reward comes after the longest wait
Vicktor Orlov took one look at the wary gaze and slow-to-trust personality of the deliciously sexy and fascinating Rachel Dolan and knew he wanted more than just a casual friendship. But as a natural protector, he also knew bossiness and overprotective maneuvering would push her away. He’ll use every tool in his easygoing arsenal to convince her to take a chance on them.
Rachel’s flourishing new career as a tattoo artist has brought color back into a life previously damaged by violence. She knows she can trust Vic—it’s herself she’s not sure of. She doesn’t want to be caged or controlled, protected so much she has no ability to make her own choices. And damn if the man doesn’t know it.
When Vic finally drops all pretenses of “just friends” and focuses all his careful affection and irresistible seduction on her, Rachel knows she’s falling hard for the laid-back pretty-boy Russian she’s discovered has a relentlessly steel spine when it comes to her.
And she can’t resist.
Sarah says: It’s the sequel to Whiskey Sharp: Unraveled, which I very much enjoyed. I’m a little nervous to find out what awful crap the heroines’ parents are going to pull next. If abusive narcissist parents who gaslight and control their children are upsetting for you, approach with caution.

I’m usually a library reader, but I have HURTS TO LOVE YOU, THE BROKEN GIRLS, Seanan McGuire’s TRICKS FOR FREE (March 6), and Alexis Hall’s A LORD FOR WHENEVER (March 20) all up for preorder!
I would preorder KJ Charles’s LAST COUPLE IN HELL, which Goodreads *says* is out March 8, but it isn’t up on Amazon. And it’s a F/F romance, too!
I’m pumped in any case. So many of my fave authors with new books!!
Imposter Syndrome by Mishell Baker comes out on the 13th. This is the 3rd in her Arcadia series and has a heroine with borderline personality disorder.
Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone is out on the 6th.
I’m excited for Obsidio, more specifically the audio version because they are crafted almost like an old fashioned radio play.
Emergency Contact looks intriguing too. Fingers crossed the library buys it because I don’t often take risks on a brand new author.
Really looking forward to Sierra Simone’s SINNER on March 15. It’s a sequel, of sorts, to PRIEST (the best book I’ve read so far this year) and MIDNIGHT MASS—this time the hero is the priest’s brother. Also, can’t wait for the Alisha Rai—especially since I just read the first two books last week (better late than never).
Emergency Contact has a pretty cover, an interesting concept and the blurb invoked Eleanor and Park. Take mah money now!
Camp is still writing Moreland books?????!!!!! I loved those so much, definitely time for a revisit.
I also recently read Alisha Rai and feel in love with them, so excited for the new one. There’s also a new Argeneau Lynsay Sands coming out, and even if some have issues, they are always a decent read, so usually an insta-buy.
I’m so far behind on looking for new books, feels like forever since I went to a bookstore. I even though Pierce’s long awaited book was coming out this month, was totally last month, which I’m a little surprised there hasn’t been a review since there seem to be a bunch of Tortall fans here.
Obsidio!!!! I have been waiting! I am buying the print version as the book doesn’t translate well on kindle.
The Courtly Scandals book sounds great, but the costumes on the cover models is driving me crazy–that is NOT Elizabethan-era dress, that’s medieval, that’s pre-Tudor dress. Ugh, the plight of being a history nerd and loving historicals. Don’t get me start on when Regency-era romances feature a Christmas tree at the holidays
You’ve hit all the books on my list: Simone St James, Alisha Rai, Lauren Dane, but how in the world did I miss that H in Hot and Badgered/i> is a bear shifter?! A BEAR SHIFTER!! Bad Decisions Bookclub™, here I come.
Re: THE BROKEN GIRLS. @Elyse, is this going to be another psychological thriller like BEHIND HER EYES, which I hated and, given enough time and alcohol, would produce a diatribe about authors who think it’s clever to manipulate readers? Or another book with completely unlikable characters?
I’m encouraged that Sarah says it’s safe for her and her brain, but obviously I carry a lot of residual fury about this genre.
@Darlynne Broken Girls is very much about women supporting and believing other women and helping them heal from their trauma. It is a thriller but it doesn’t gaslight the reader
Counting on a Countess is added to my Wish List. I can’t resist those Cornwall smugglers. Also, The Secret of Flirting, although spymasters seem to be getting to be as common as Dukes in Regencyland.
I’m reading an ARC of Spiced, book number six in Jamie Farrell’s Misfit Brides series, to be released this weekend. Her writing just keeps getting better and I needed a fun book after all the scarred hero stories I’ve been reading lately. Tony the pizza man comes to the rescue as Pepper’s fake boyfriend. We all know how this is going to work out. 😉
Josh Lanyon’s The Magicians Murders is also out this month. It’s the third book in the Art of Murder series. Just finished the first book, The Mermaid Murders, this week & loved it so I’m excited for this one. Just wish frickin Amazon would put it up for pre-order already.
KateB! Thank you for mentioning the Alexis Hall book! I had no idea there would be a Hall book coming out and I adore everything he writes. There isn’t even a blurb for the book on Amazon but I couldn’t one-click fast enough.
I think that, other than KJ Charles’ newest book, this the first month in which I don’t have anything pre-ordered. So my wallet’s taking a break, for once.
CORRECTION: Also, Alexis Hall’s new book. 😉
Compared to other months, tho, that’s almost nothing.
[…] releases: Smart Bitches (romance) and All About […]
I am looking forward to the release of “Herding Cats” by Sarah Andersen (of Sarah’s Scribbles). I relate to her cartoon self so much.
It’s my birthday month, which makes excessive book purchasing valid…right? I’m so excited for ALL THE BOOKS, even as I climb Mt. TBR.
Currently reading “Behold the Dreamers” by Imbolo Mbue, which is not *exactly* a romance, but is amazing nonetheless.
I’m eager to read Lake Silence by Anne Bishop and Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs. I see some other enticing choices, too.
SO excited for Alisha Rai and Shelly Laurenston’s books!!! Just put myself on the hold list for Hot & Badgered at the library … I’m #54 🙁 Maybe I’ll cave and pre-order it, though $10 will be the most I’ve ever spent on an ebook. In the meantime, I think there will definitely be a re-read of Livvy’s book, and I need to read the first in Eva Leigh’s new series before I get the second one.
I’m really excited for Alisha Rai’s Hurts to Love You, but I’m also super psyched for Kate Meader’s Undone By You – m/m hockey romance!! I’ve really enjoyed the series thus far, so I’m looking forward to the next installment.
