Not that Kind of Ever After Luci Adams
The premise of this book hit me right off the bat because Bella’s life is not how she thought it would be. She thought would be an author, instead she’s a receptionist at a small press and she thought she would’ve found her soulmate but in the culture of swiping right and serial date that feels impossible. Coupled with her best friend getting married, Bella’s left feeling rudderless. I know this feeling, I’m currently sort of feeling like this, not having a true destination like you’re just stuck in place while everyone else is moving forward in life. So Bella, with her not hot (he’s probably smoking hot) brother Marty says to have fun, Bella does just that and after telling her disastrous story online is suddenly virally famous and now has to chase more fairytales to share with her followers, but first she has to live them.
I can’t wait to see what adventures Bella will go on in this book and according to Barnes and Noble it’s slated for a March 14th release date. You can preorder it here from Barnes and Noble or if you want to support smaller independent bookstores you can preorder here.
Hello Billionaire Kelsie Hoss
If you haven’t read Kelsie’s series Confession of you should because they are hilarious and just the right amount of spice to make you hot and bothered but still driving the plot forward. So of course, when I finished the last book “Confession of a Funny Fat Friend” I low key wanted to know more about Tyler’s brother Gage, because he was giving off the hot billionaire vibes that I’m not so secretly in love with. So I’m happy that we’re finally going to dive into Gage’s world and see him hopefully find love or at least realize that there’s more to life than working.
Just in case that didn’t sell you on this book, here’s the summary that will hopefully pique your interest: Hello Billionaire is a grumpy/sunshine rom com featuring a steamy (I’ll add intense and demanding) billionaire, a plus-size single mom, three matchmaking children, and one hell of a happy ever after.
With a slated release date of 3/31 you can preorder here.
Happy Place Emily Henry
Listen if you’ve read Book Lovers (or my review) then you know why I’m excited about this book. I loved the characters in Book Lovers so I’m interested to see Henry can capture that same magic in a bottle again. But also the premise of the book sounds so good because I know it’s going to take me on a wild ride (hopefully). You’ve got a couple that broke up but didn’t tell their best friends so when its time for their yearly cabin trip, the last one since the cabin has been sold, the exes decide to play their roles because how hard can it be to pretend you’re in love with someone you broke up with 6 months prior? Exes with forced proximity is such a good trope that I can’t wait to see how badly this charade goes for these exes who also have to pretend that they don’t see how badly they still want each other.
It’s slated to release on April 25th so preorder from B&N here or from bookshop.org here.
Romantic Comedy Curtis Sittenfeld
I’m so excited about this book because it’s looking at the phenomenon of average looking guys handing the glamorous super pretty girls and wondering if the reverse could ever happen. But Sally, the main character, has sworn off love until the dreamy pop star enters her life and if life were a rom com she’d be finding her happy after. And this girl is super excited to see if Sally can live out the dreams of the average looking, or not conventionally pretty, girls wildest dreams and land the super hot pop star.
I will definitely be purchasing this book when it comes out on April 4th and if you too want to see how this romantic comedy plays out you can preorder from B&N here or Bookshop.org here.
Business or Pleasure Rachel Lynn Soloman
Who doesn’t love a “we hooked up and thought we’d never see each other, only to be forced to work together & oh by the way the hookup wasn’t that great for one party” kind of book? That’s exactly what happens to Chandler Cohen in “Business or Pleasure”, she is feeling like invisible as a ghostwriter and meets a charming man at the bar and has the most hilariously awkward hookup. She thought she could put this hookup behind for her good to find out her next project is working with said charming man Finn Walsh. Of course, Chandler tries to keep their partnership professional but accidentally admits to Finn that their hook was not has mind-blowing as he thought. But there’s something about Finn that has Chandler schooling him in the art of seduction and they’ll have to figure out what’s more important: business or pleasure? There’s no chance they can have both, right?
If you’re intrigued, you can preorder from B&N here or bookshop.org here.
With Love, From Cold World Alicia Thompson
Listen, I LOVE Love in the Time of Serial Killers, like love in the sense that I want to find my own Sam kinda love. So when I saw that Alicia has a new book coming out, I immediately wanted to read it. And that desire to read it only grew when I actually read the premise because really who doesn’t love a “enemies compete to come up with the best idea to raise revenue at their less than stellar winter wonderland in Orlando, Florida but while competing they fingure out that they’re polar opposites that might actually be perfect for each other” kind of love story?
I’m ready to read how these two can generate their own heat in their winter wonderland when it comes out in August. As always you can preorder from B& N here or bookshop.org here.
Let me know in the comments if you’re adding any of these to your TBR and stay tuned for part 2!
