I'm going to try something new: the first Sunday of every month, I will list some upcoming releases that I'm excited to read, curious to try, or have already read and cannot wait for YOU to read.
Let's start out with twenty April 2018 releases that are on my radar!
Listed in order of release week.
April 2nd/3rd:
Paranormal Romance
Vampires
1st POV
Why?
✦ I'm a long-time fan of Erickson and enjoyed book 1 last year.
✦ ENEMIES TO LOVERS catnip! She's the daughter of his enemy -- but doesn't know about her bloodline.
Contemporary Romance
