Can't Wait Wednesday!

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

I am combining CWW with Books From the Backlog hosted by Carole at Carole's Random Life in Books. This will allow me to feature some newly "rediscovered" books, which I plan on reading, alongside a new release.

This week I can't wait for


Just My Luck

For fans of Jen DeLuca and K.A. Tucker, a contemporary rom-com set on a small-town farm where a social media brand manager discovers love, family secrets, and the courage to show her true self.

Sloan Sanders’ perfectly curated online life is in shambles. Dumped the same day her dream business collapses and rocked by a shocking DNA test, she escapes to her aunt’s farm to regroup.

Instead of peace, Sloan finds herself knee-deep in manure and butting heads with Parker, the annoyingly hot stable hand who seems determined to make her life difficult. She thinks he’s shady. He thinks she’s an entitled princess. But as sparks fly and secrets come out, Sloan realizes the line between enemies and something more is getting blurry.

When a chance comes to prove herself and reinvent her future, Sloan needs Parker’s help. Transforming a dusty hayloft into an Instagram-worthy event space might just change everything—if she’s willing to show the world her unfiltered self.

Perfect for fans of Jen DeLuca’s Well Met and K.A. Tucker’s The Simple Wild, JUST MY LUCK is a heartwarming rom-com about identity, family secrets, and finding love where you least expect it.

I think I am a horsey girl at heart because I cannot resist a book that features horses. That's what made me look, but the name dropping and promise of a rom-com kept me reading the synopsis. This sounds like a promising rivals-to-lovers and I am eager to find out more about the DNA test that upset the heroine's world. 





Mr. Right Under the Mistletoe

I’ve always been a player.

A football player, that is. In the dating game, though, I only have eyes for one girl.

Sydney Porter, team publicist MVP, all-around hottie…and my ex-girlfriend.

Christmas comes early for me and I’m traded back to my home team mid-season. Of course, I run straight into Sydney—and a big problem. See, I never actually told my family we broke up. Now my mom wants the happy couple home for the holidays.

After saving Sydney from a work snafu, she owes me. I sweet talk her into going along with my fake dating plan, but I only have until Christmas. Can I convince her we belong together or will the magic between us disappear forever once the mistletoe comes down?

I am slowly working my way through all the free books I downloaded and am focusing on the holiday books at this time. I have found these short books a great introduction to an author, and this is another new-to-me author. Christmas plus a holiday romance is a great combination for me, and I feel this will work well for me.
