I read Ashley Weaver’s series. I think my favorite was the first “Murder at Brightwell.” (Thanks for the rec, Sarah.)
New Book – ‘The Right Swipe’ -Alisha Rai
Old Books – I finally started Jukia Quinn’s Bridgestone saga. And I am loving it! Why hadn’t I read this before??
Loved Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson and Tessa Dare’s latest.
Favorite read so far this summer has been Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. I’ve read all her other books and for some reason hadn’t read this one yet!
More than Stardust by Vivien Jackson.
I loved Ayesha At Last
I loved Erin Nicholas’s Boys of the Bayou series–they’re such feel-good reads for me, I can read and re-read them!
I’ve been in a reading slump so I haven’t read that many books this year (30), let alone this summer. But I did read one book while I was on vacation that I quite liked, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sanchez. It is very teen and very issue-y but I think it was well done.
Not a romance, but Washington Black was the book I enjoyed the most this summer. Protect the Prince was my second favorite.
I loved the Dreamblood Duology by NK Jemisin.
The best book I read this summer was The Day of the Duchess by Sarah MacLean. By far the best in the Scandal & Scoundrel series so far.
So many, this summer has been full of some really good reads. I’d have to say Quintland Sisters and The Gown were two of my absolute favourites though. They both made me question the stories I’d always been told and history I’d always been taught. Always a good thing
I loved Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes!
The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
I just finished The Burning Sky trilogy by Sherry Thomas and it was so amazing! It’s more YA than adult romance, but I truly love her as an author.
I’ve read a lot of great books this summer, but the one I just finished (so is still on my mind) was There’s Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon. Such a delightful book with a delightful heroine!
My favorite is Kill the Queen and I am now starting Protect the Prince
I haven’t read anything that has blown me away this summer but right now I’m reading Lethal White and is really enjoying it. So that might be my favorite read this summer.
My favorite read of summer was actually a reread. I absolutely loved listening to Howl’s Moving Castle by Diane Wynne Jones on audiobook. It was just the cozy, familiar book that I needed this summer.
My favorite recent read was Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart.
Based on the fact that I read this book twice within the same week, I have to say that my favorite book of summer 2019 was Red, White, and Royal Blue. I actually want to re-read it again, but I have so much on my TBR.
My best read this summer was Sarah MacLean’s newest, Brazen and the Beast!
So far my favorite has been Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean
I just discovered the Three Dark Crowns series and I’ve been enjoying that a lot. Also really enjoyed both of Nalini Singh’s recent release, Wolf Rain!
Just finished Kings Captive and… dayummmmmmmm.
The best book I read this summer was definitely Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin.
Just finished Sleepover by Serena Bell, and it was a perfect romance, both hot and emotional.
I’ve read a lot of good stuff this summer, so I’ll share my most recent favorite: The Flatshare!
Thanks for this giveaway!
Just finished Sleepover by Serena Bell, and it was a perfect romance, both hot and emotional. The Wicked King by Holly Black was also amazing.
This summer was a hard one for me newly divorcee single mother of two, books are my escape. This summer I read The Sun and her Flowers by Rupi Kaur over and over. I needed that book as a daily reminder ” we are all born so beautiful, the greatest tragedy is being convicted we are not.”
My favorite book this summer was a very wintry one: Cat Sebastian’s Hither, Page.
I read and loved Lorraine Heath’s Scoundrel In Her Bed. I was in a reading slump and started the book late at night (as if I didn’t know better), then stayed up WAY too late reading it.
I really loved The Deal by Elle Kennedy. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did, but it was really delightful. I read the rest in that series and the first in her spin off series and I’m waiting for my library to order the others for me :). They were good, but The Deal is tops.
I was moving this summer so I can barely remember all that I read. However, I enjoyed reading The Governess Game quite a lot.
Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston was a solid delight this summer!
My favorite book this summer was Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
This summer, I loved the current book I’m reading (non-romance, non-fiction): Paradise Now, the story of American Utopianism. I started reading it as research for a romance I’m writing, but it’s awesome on its own! Highly recommend.
I just finished Ayesha at Last and it’s my favorite right now. I love reading about characters who are different than me and the modern retelling at Pride & Prejudice was top notch.

This summer I read ‘Ellie and the Harpmaker’ by Hazel Prior. I loved it!!
