#LoveToReadFeb19 #bookchallenge Hosted by @kimberlyfayereads & @wildandwonderfulreads Day 17: Love to Read: Friends to Lovers This trope is one of my favorites, and this book is at the top of the list for me! I knew I'd love it as soon as I read the back cover copy: "Sex is inevitable. Friendships are tested. Hearts are on the line." Not sold yet? Here's why I love this book: ❤️ Helicopter pilot with a Scottish brogue ✔️ ❤️ Unapologetically ambitious (and very funny) businesswoman ✔️✔️ ❤️ A pact made in their early twenties to marry if neither is in a serious relationship by age thirty. ✔️✔️✔️ ❤️ Amazing secondary characters that made me wish I lived in their world. ✔️✔️✔️✔️ Yep, this book checks all my boxes and started my love affair with all things Karina Halle. (A decision I've never regretted.) #PinkySwear💖 #StephandLindenforever💖 #mimireadsromance2019 #bookstagram #booksmakemehappy #mimiskeepercollection #readromance #contemporaryromance #karinahalle #favoritetropes #favoriteseries #friendstoloversromance https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAV158An_L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10mdz7twnf0nm

#LoveToReadFeb19 #bookchallenge Day 1• Love to Read: Sports Romance The Renegades Series by @rebeccayarros is one of my very favorites. I adore this series for it's fantastic portrayal of what it takes to maintain friendships when life's circumstances are less than ideal, the often angsty (but so 🔥🔥🔥) romances, and the extreme sports. All of this plays out in the most amazing settings! Thanks for the fun @kimberlyfayereads & @wildandwonderfulreads ❤️ 📚 ❤️ #mimireadsromance2019 #books #reader #mimiskeepercollection #kindleebooks #rebeccayarros https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXT_WxgTVd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nen5p6r1jwkk

Such a gorgeous cover, and what's sure to be an entertaining read! Love the swag, too! Stickers for the win and a cute potion jar. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the book: A love potion. . . Charlotte Langley has always been the prudent middle sister, so her family is not surprised when she makes the safe choice and agrees to wed her childhood sweetheart. But when she finds herself under the weather and drinks a "healing" tonic, the potion provokes the most maddening desire...for someone other than her betrothed. With the power. . . Kingston's rakehell ways are going to destroy him and he's vowed to change. His stepbrother's remote estate is just the place for a reformed rogue to hide. The last thing he wants is to be surrounded by society, but when he gets stuck alone with a wallflower who is already betrothed... and she astonishes him with a fiery kiss, he forgets all about hiding. To alter two destinies. Although Charlotte appears meek, Kingston soon discovers there's a vixen inside, yearning to break free. Unable to forget their illicit moment of passion, Kingston vows to relive the encounter, but Charlotte has sworn it will never happen again no matter how earth-shattering it was.

A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Fully fleshed out characters with nuanced motivations ✔️ Alliances and oaths ✔️ World-building that invites the reader to dive in and *stay* within the pages of the story ✔️ A Warrior-Queen that learns to trust her strengths and take charge of her future✔️ A vengeance seeking warrior that learns what it means to have the heart of a King. ✔️ Lessons shared, battles fought, and an epic love story ✔️ I finished an amazing book today and couldn't wait to talk about it, so I made my teen listen to me go on and on. Then I immediately snapped a pic so I could come rave about the book on IG. Y'all, this one was EPIC! It's on my Top Reads of 2020 list and I've already bought the audio version, too. Seriously, this is one of those books that I couldn't stand to set aside for long, but then found myself loathe to pick up for fear I'd read too fast and the story would be over. I experienced every emotion alongside these characters, re-reading passages over and over again until I just HAD to turn the page. What. An. Ending.👏👏👏 Without a doubt, my favorite character is Yvenne. She embodied such cunning and strength, and her ability to embrace joy and hope, in spite of the suffering she endured, was everything this reader wanted from the heroine of such an epic story. Absolutely superb storytelling! I need the second book now, but since it won't be out for a few months, I'll console myself with re-reading this one again and again. A huge THANK YOU to @tessabaileyisanauthor for bringing this book to my attention! #readwhatmakesyouhappy #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #millavane #berkleypub #aheartofbloodandashes #booksofig #books #reader #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NwQOEgJQz/?igshid=affk31qf7wlf

Do you have a long running series that you've been reading for years? I used to love long-running series, but in recent years I've stopped reading many of them. The one I still anticipate is the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R. Ward. I've been a fan since the very beginning and the books are still on my auto-buy list. While I don't love every book in this series, I always love revisiting the characters that have been familiar to me for so long. This series definitely falls into my comfort read category. Today, I finally opened my copy of The Sinner (#18) and I'm looking forward to some quiet reading time tonight. #mimireads2020 #readwhatmakesyouhappy #autobuyauthorlist #blackdaggerbrotherhood #jrwardauthor #GalleryBooks #books #booksofig #paranormalromance #reader #stayhome #flattenthecurve #mimireadsromance #mimiskeepercollection https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kltMPgRi5/?igshid=1fbc6hhiclbj5

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Love to Read-Sports Romance When I discovered Jaci Burton's Play-by-Play series, my love of romance novels collided with my love of sports in the BEST possible way. This super sexy series checked all of my boxes and set me on a path to read ALL the sports romances for a long, long while. I'm highlighting these 3 books because baseball, football, and hockey romances are my favorites. Also, these covers! 😍 This was a case where I had zero regrets for buying books because of the covers. 😆 #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #readromance #romancebooks #booklife #bookstagram #bookish #booklove #reader #readwhatmakesyouhappy #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #autographedbooks #autobuyauthorlist #contemporaryromance #sportsromancebooks #favoriteseries #jaciburton #playbyplayseries https://www.instagram.com/p/B87u1TtAH5n/?igshid=8lckpavgxp12

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Enemies to Lovers Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series has several books that fall into this category, but Lothaire is the definitive text, IMHO. Not gonna' lie, when this book published back in 2012, I was less than enthusiastic about the character that would be Lothaire's mate. My opinion quickly changed because Ellie was a firecracker. Their relationship was chock full of lightning fast, cutting dialogue that had me cackling out loud. Then there were the gifts. Sending body parts back and forth was just beyond anything I expected, which was saying a lot considering the already established over-the-top nature of the series. The love-to-hate-you/hate-to-love-you dynamic this couple shares makes it one of my favorite books! 🧛‍♂️❤️🙍‍♀️ Have you read this series? If so, which book or character is your favorite? I love this book like mad, but Regin is my favorite character in the series. #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #autobuyauthorlist #faveseries #contemporaryromance #kresleycole #fatedmates #immortalsafterdark #iad #lothaire https://www.instagram.com/p/B8u2RurAhSW/?igshid=1kr4m5tv72lw

Since I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, this post is doing double duty. #LovetoReadFeb20 : #FavoriteRomancesStack #stacksaturday & Love to Read: Friends to Lovers The Pact, by Karina Hall, is one of the few romance books I can categorically say is my *favorite* in a certain trope. It's my go-to recommendation for the Friends to Lovers trope, and a book I read every year (several times a year). The other books in the stack are also on my auto-recommend list for this trope. Emotionally satisfying doesn't even begin to cover the Happily-Ever-Afters you'll find in each of these books. Do you love this trope?! What book/author would you recommend?

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Own Voices I'm feeling well enough to today to attempt a print book, and decided to read one that's been on my TBR for awhile. Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert was my Nov 2019 BOTM pick. Everyone I know that's read this says it's amazing, so I'm looking forward to sitting down with this story for the rest of the day. I've got my hot tea & my book darts, so I'm ready to start! I'll include the blurb in the comments. romancestagram #booksofig #books #currentlyreading #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #tbrlist #contemporaryromance #ownvoices #weneeddiverseromance #taliahibbert #avonbooks #botmclub https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eX6zlAsQN/?igshid=m91z7iqmtkxs

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Romantic Suspense Lori Foster's Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series immediately came to mind when I saw today's prompt. This series is about a group of mercaneries working to take down a human trafficking ring. It's really well-written and completely binge worthy. #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #faveseries #contemporaryromance #romanticsuspense #booksbooksbooks #harlequinbooks #lorifoster https://www.instagram.com/p/B8c99phAsro/?igshid=mom2c7w9dynh

#LovetoReadFeb20 : YA Romance Caroline & West by Robin York These signed books are part of my keeper collection because Robin York, aka Ruthie Knox, crafts dynamic characters that hook this reader from the very first page. Years later, I still love to pick up these books and skim my favorite scenes. "You arm yourself with love, friends, knowledge. You figure it out, and you go after it with everything you've got. And that means sometimes you have to let yourself be scared." - Deeper You honestly cannot go wrong with any of Ruthie/Robin's backlist. A personal favorite of mine that I always recommend is Truly (grumpy beekeeper for the win!). #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #autobuyauthorlist #contemporaryromance #yaromance #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #robinyork #ruthieknox #carolineandwest https://www.instagram.com/p/B8aeTobgNAE/?igshid=1hatcwsu2f3od

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Small Town Romance I know, I know...this looks like just another rockstar story. Admittedly, Selena Laurence had me at rockstar. But this book was SO much more! It's a beautiful story about family, friendship, second chances, going home, redefining happiness, and never giving up. I read this one cover to cover and went through more than a few tissues! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Selena is on my #autobuyauthorlist because she writes emotional, character-driven stories. If cowboys are more your speed, I highly recommend her California Cowboys series. No matter which of her books you choose, the family/friend dynamics are excellent and the romances are 💯. #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #favoriteauthorlist #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #contemporaryromance https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Xzj-PA5-K/?igshid=btn9c9o1r7xv

#LovetoReadFeb20 Red Books #stacksaturday When I think "red books", paranormal, magic, and (urban)fantasy are the first words that pop into my head. These are just a few of my favorite series. I'm behind on almost all of them 🤦, but hoping to catch up since this is the year I'm tackling my TBR. Do you have a favorite paranormal author or series that you'd recommend? #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #paranormalromance #massmarketsneedlovetoo #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #mimistbr https://www.instagram.com/p/B8VLXD2gsXS/?igshid=it283ba4qbjn

#LovetoReadFeb20 : Love to Read: Young Adult Many years ago, my daughter (K) and I attended an author signing event at La Cantera Barnes & Noble in San Antonio. K was captivated by Sophie Jordan's talk of dragons, wanting to read the books right away. I held out for a few years, but once she was old enough I turned her loose on them. K binges everything Sophie writes and is now an avid reader. As a mom, I love that Sophie's books are something I can share with my teen. I can never thank Sophie enough for being the spark that ignited my daughter's love of books. #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #tbrlist #autobuyauthorlist #faveseries #favrotieauthorlist #yabooks #harperteen #yaromance #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SjGVkAV2U/?igshid=6ysjtr7n08ge

#LovetoReadFeb20 :Couple on the Cover Some of my favorite covers in the last two years have been the ones for the Reluctant Royals series by Alyssa Cole. The vibrant colors are beyond gorgeous & the covers are the perfect representation of her bold, beautiful storytelling style. If you're not familiar with the series, add them to your TBR now. You won't be sorry! Also, check out Alyssa's IG page to see the other covers in this series...and the cover for the next release (it's 😍Ah-Mazing😍!) I'll put the blurb for this stellar novella in the comments. #romancestagram #booksofig #books #romancereader #romancebooks #booklife #bookdragon #mimireadsromance #mimireads2020 #mimiskeepercollection #autobuyauthorlist #faveseries #contemporaryromance #booksbooksbooks #weneeddiverseromance #bookstagram #supportdiverseromance #reluctantroyalsseries #alyssacole #secondchanceromance https://www.instagram.com/p/B8P55f_gT-x/?igshid=3b9d8it1304g
