New Releases (April 9, 2019)
April 9, 2019 brings us a modest helping of book releases. I can’t even tell you how excited I am to read them.
However, I have to express some frustration as well. You see, my book release list is a living document. If I see a book I want to read, I add it to my list. Problem is, this week over half of the books I expected to be pre-ordering weren’t even available on retail sites.
So frustrating!
For that reason, todays list is a bit shorter than usual. But I’m a big believe in qualit over quantity and I have no doubt the books on this list are high quality. Two of them were even on my most anticipated spring book release list. I can not wait for them to arrive on my Kindle.

PRO TIP
Do you prefer audio books? Perhaps you would love to give them a chance if they weren’t so darn expensive? I love the audible romance package. For a monthly fee, I get access to more romance audiobooks than I could possibly ever listen to.
SNITCHES GET STITCHES
by Lani Lynn Vale

I’ll be honest, short of Tillie Cole’s Hades Hangman series, I’m not usually a fan bikers or bad boys in general. But, I adore the secret identity trope. And, I loved Lani Lynn Vale’s Code 11-KPD SWAT series. As soon as I read the blurb, I knew I would be reading this one. I don’t say that lightly, this is a big commitment for me, it’s book 9 in a series. But I’m looking forward to a long weekend spent binge reading all the previous books.
