Can't Wait Wednesday - Adult Edition


Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I can't wait for:


Since I did a whole post of YA books I am anticipating, I decided to feature two adult releases today.

Don't Give Me Butterflies
Tara Sheets
Series: The Holloway Girls, #3
Age/Genre: Adult, Romance, Contemporary
Publisher: Zebra
Release Date: July 30, 2019
Goodreads
Pine Cove Island calls to her soul...

As the Queen of Impulsive Decisions, Kat Davenport has found herself without a job or a place to live. So settling on Pine Cove Island isn't the sanest choice--meaning it's perfect. Like the mysterious Holloway cousins, Kat has her own unique gift. In her case, it's a knack for communicating with animals. Which makes getting hired at the local animal shelter feel like kismet. Especially when she finds a room to rent at a nearby lavender farm--complete with a sweet landlord and her brawny grandson--a guy who happens to give Kat an all-too-familiar flutter in her stomach...

Jordan Prescott isn't back in Pine Cove to find romance. He's here to sell the family farm, a fact that bewilders Kat. A former foster kid, she can't understand why he'd give up his childhood home. So when the big-hearted beauty starts bringing home strays from the shelter, Jordan is suddenly her adversary. Until their fiery disagreements turn into fiery kisses...

Now Kat is falling for a man who will likely make her homeless yet again. Unless she learns how to lend her considerable powers to taming the beast lurking inside this prince...
Why I want to read this book

I throughly enjoyed both the previous books. I love the town and its inhabitants, and Sheets used just enough magic to give the story a little extra something. Each book has been fun, charming, and I could almost see them being made into Hallmark movies (which everyone knows I adore!).

The Right Swipe
Alisha Rai
Series: Modern Love, #1
Age/Genre: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Publisher: Avon
Release Date: August 6, 2019
Goodreads
Alisha Rai returns with the first book in her sizzling new Modern Love series, in which two rival dating app creators find themselves at odds in the boardroom but in sync in the bedroom.

Rhiannon Hunter may have revolutionized romance in the digital world, but in real life she only swipes right on her career—and the occasional hookup. The cynical dating app creator controls her love life with a few key rules:

- Nude pics are by invitation only
- If someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice
- Protect your heart

Only there aren't any rules to govern her attraction to her newest match, former pro-football player Samson Lima. The sexy and seemingly sweet hunk woos her one magical night... and disappears.

Rhi thought she'd buried her hurt over Samson ghosting her, until he suddenly surfaces months later, still big, still beautiful—and in league with a business rival. He says he won't fumble their second chance, but she's wary. A temporary physical partnership is one thing, but a merger of hearts? Surely that’s too high a risk…
Why I want to read this book

I am all over this set up! He ghosted her, and now he's back and in bed with her competitor. Yet, he was one of the few men, who were able to sort of woo her. I am anticipating heat and sparks, and I think the addition of them being business competitors will just make it more fun. Cannot wait to see these two together!

What are you waiting on?

    1. Nick had featured the previous books, and I saw them on Hoopla, listened, and enjoyed them. Right Swipe is definitely the buzzier book, but it seems like people are loving it.

  5. Don't Give Me Butterflies sounds good! I was sceptical because of the cover but I actually want to read it after reading the blurb!

    The Right Swipe I've been seeing around a lot... Not sure I'm interested seeing as he ghosted her AND is working for a competitor but I'm horribly curious as to why he ghosted her so... Decisions, decisions.

    1. The whole Holloway series has been fun, and the little touches of magic are a bonus. I definitely have a lot of questions about The Right Swipe from that synopsis as well.

    1. The Right Swipe had a lot more depth than I expected. These two were fire together, and I really liked their individual plots as well.
