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


Darling Daffodils Farm

Prepare to fall in love amongst the wildflowers this spring. . .

From the romance superstar author of The Boston Bolts hockey series comes a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine romance about a young woman returning to her family’s daffodil farm only to find someone unexpected running her daddy’s business.

They say you can never tame a wildflower...

When aspiring pastry chef, Tally Darling, returns home to her family’s daffodil farm, the last thing she expects to find is a hot—half-naked—farmhand living in her childhood bedroom and running her late daddy’s business.

Jesse Walker might be gorgeous but he’s also infuriatingly grumpy. Walker has no time for Tally and the feeling is mutual.

That is, until Tally hears him moan over one of her signature salted honey cupcakes. And then discovers how good it tastes when they kiss.

As dewy April days turn into warm May evenings, Walker and Tally soon realize that there is a thin line between love and hate. But will their budding connection grow into something that lasts beyond one season?

This was love at first sight with that cover. Maybe I am shallow, but it really captured my attention. It gives off a vibe that makes me feel like this book would be a great fit for me. You all know I love farms too, so the setting is a plus. A grumpy-sunshine romance usually works well for me, and I am looking forward to seeing what the heroine (a pastry chef) cooks up for me.

Hockey and the holidays go hand in hand ...

Theo and Elle Kershaw are about to celebrate the season with their boisterous brood, but a surprise is waiting in their Christmas stockings.

This surprise pregnancy, older couple, love at the holidays hockey romance is the perfect check-in with a fan-favorite couple and a fun dive into the next generation of Chicago Rebel heroes and heroines. Includes a sneak peek at Sweet Thing, the first in a new hockey romance series from Kate Meader.

I started the spin-off series, The Chicago Players, without knowing about this novella. It bridges Rookie Rebels to this new series, and I really wanted to go back and read it since it features one of my favorite Rebels of all-time.
