I've been swamped so I haven't read this one yet. Released October 21st -- sorry I'm late in posting. I hope to start this one tomorrow!
I'm reading a Lisa Oliver book Eradicate and I'm just not getting into it. I am surprised because I usually devour her books. I think it's a combination of one of the M characters being arrogant and a playboy but meeting the other M and changing -- or trying to change and not be so arrogant. But he's still hiding things and not treating the other H as an equal (this is a second book in a continuing series). So I think he's a bit of a jerk. Also, I had family here for several days and they just left today so I haven't had time to dig into the book. I'll keep reading it and try to finish it. If I don't, I don't. Either way, I'll looking forward to the Mia West book next. :-)
I am so bummed! I went to purchase Sloane Kennedy's latest book that was supposed to be out yesterday but instead I got a "sorry this page not found" message. WTH? I wonder what happened? I expect this with Mandy Roth but not Sloane Kennedy! Chasing Secrets is book 5 in the Pelican Bay series and I've loved the others. I guess I'll have to search and try to find out what happened and when the book will be released. :-(
ETC: had a wrong word in my text. Also, I can't find any information about this. I even opened up Twitter (which I have never used) and she hasn't posted in months. Ugh. Why have pre-orders if you're going to get us excited and then ghost us?
So so happy. AJ Sherwood's last book in her series is out today. I started them late, when book 5 was about to come out, and I ended up reading them one after another. Once I started I couldn't stop! Now book six is out today and I am about to start it. Yay! These are on KU or are $2.99 each.
It’s part of Hockey Ever After (2 book series). So I haven’t read Scoring Position yet (I’m a little afraid of being disappointed) but I’m still excited for this. No page count that I can find.

Thanks mjbett. I've added it to my preorder list. I have Scoring Position through KU but haven't read it yet either. Currently trying to read all Christmas books. :-)
Mystery on the Menu: A Three-Course Collection of Cozy Mysterie Nicole Kimberling. 300 pgs, May 23rd. Only the pb edition is up so I’m not sure of the price. She’s usually expensive so I’d guess $6.99. This includes the story in the anthology Josh Lanyon published, Footsteps in the Dark, and 2 more stories featuring the same couple. So 200 or so pages of new material. I liked the original story in Footsteps and a few more by her. So we’ll see how it goes
Washed Up Former Child Star Ryan Lee Lisa Henry & J.A. Rock. $4.99, June 6th. I didn’t see a page count but I’d assume around 250+ based on past releases. It’s been hit or miss with these authors together but this sounds interesting at least.
Time to Shine Rachel Reid. $9.99/September 26th. Eh, I only really liked book 2 of her hockey series so I’m not very optimistic. I’ll still check it out at least.
"Lucky Bounce. A standalone romance about a very earnest gym teacher, and the moody hockey player whose secret five-year-old ends up in his class."

Thanks! I didn’t bother to check the author’s site. I’m not quite sure why but hockey MM is definitely my cuppa I was kinda ambivalent on book 1 of hers and never read the second but there was enough potential, I think, that I’m not writing her off. <pun intended> And book 1 was her first book so I would hope she improves as she goes along.
ETA2: Just my opinion but I loved the Green Creek series with Wolfsong and the others but I'm not as into TJ Klune's latest books. Maybe because they're not really romances and being marketed more to teenagers. Not that I don't like them, I am just not as drawn to them. And since I'm complaining here anyway I hope Sammi Cee goes back to straight MM writing and does a series that isn't daddies/boys. I just can't read them but I loved her Takoda series.
Delay of Game (Penalty Box Book 2) Ari Baran $4.99/308 pgs. November 14th. I did not like the first book. I had issues with style and story but this sounds good. We’ll see.
Crushed Ice (Hockey Ever After) Ashlyn Kane & Morgan James. $6.99, no page count. August 6, 2024!!!! Almost a year away!! I’m hoping that date is just a placeholder and it gets moved up. I think there’s a good chance…there’s usually not full cover art that far out. Also sounds good. Very good! I’m excited. Reissue of book 1 aside () this is a favorite series.
