This is a
short list of books releasing soon that I am excited read. For me the release
date cannot come soon enough! Happy Reading J
I love
historical fiction, especially a good inspirational one. Even though it’s not a
genre I consistently read, since it’s hard for me to find good ones I like, I immediately
added this to my to-read list. It sounds like an engaging story that I look
forward to reading.
********
Lady Eliza Sumner is on a mission. Her fortune was
the last thing she had left after losing her father, her finance, and her
faith. Now, masquerading as Miss Eliza Sumner governess-at-large, she's
determined to find the man who ran off with her fortune, reclaim the money, and
head straight back to London.
Mr. Hamilton
Beckett, much to his chagrin, is the catch of the season, and all the eyes of
New York society--all the female ones, at least--are on him. He has no plans to
marry again, especially since his hands are full keeping his business afloat
while raising his two children alone.
Eliza's hapless
attempts to regain her fortune unexpectedly put her right in Hamilton's path.
The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces and, before she
knows it, Eliza has a whole retinue of people helping her. Eliza's
determination not to trust anyone weakens when everyone's antics and bumbling
efforts to assist her make her wonder if there might be more important things
than her fortune and independence.
When all of
Hamilton's and Eliza's best-laid plans fall by the wayside, it will take a riot
of complications for them to realize that God just might have had a better plan
in mind all along.

Jennifer Probst sure knows how to
write entertaining romances that will make you laugh and swoon. I was hooked
from the very first book in the series, The Marriage Bargain. And now after
reading The Marriage Trap, I cannot
seem to get enough. The only downside is that The Marriage Mistake is the last book in the Marriage to a Billionaire series!

set against the backdrop of a 1920s Manhattan, what is not to love? Let the countdown begin!

Winter’s parents send her off to live with her rich cousin on the glittering
island of Manhattan, it’s to find a husband and forget about her brother
Teddy’s death. But all that glitters is not gold. Caught up in the swirl of her
cousin’s bobbed-hair set—and the men that court them—Jo soon realizes that the
talk of marriage never stops, and behind the seemingly boundless gains are illicit
business endeavors, gangsters, and their molls. Jo would much rather spend time
the handsome but quiet Charles, a waiter at the Algonquin Hotel, than drape
herself
over a bootlegger.
But when she befriends a moll to one of the most powerful men in town, Jo
begins to uncover secrets—secrets that threaten an empire and could secure Jo’s
freedom from her family. Can her new-found power buy her love? Or will it to

Severine is discovering there's no right way with the Sloan brothers.
