One of my goals for the year 2011 is to have a monthly wish list posted on Book Binge and this is going to be the first one of the year. There are a few books that are coming out this month that I’m totally lusting after and here’s a list of what they are.
1. Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
R.S.V.P. to the most riotous wedding of the year . . .
Lucy Jorik is the daughter of a former president of the United States.
Meg Koranda is the offspring of legends.
One of them is about to marry Mr. Irresistible—Ted Beaudine—the favorite son of Wynette, Texas. The other is not happy about it and is determined to save her friend from a mess of heartache.
But even though Meg knows that breaking up her best friend’s wedding is the right thing to do, no one else seems to agree. Faster than Lucy can say “I don’t,” Meg becomes the most hated woman in town—a town she’s stuck in with a dead car, an empty wallet, and a very angry bridegroom. Broke, stranded, and without her famous parents at her back, Meg is sure she can survive on her own wits. What’s the worst that can happen? Lose her heart to the one and only Mr. Irresistible? Not likely. Not likely at all.
Alright so yes, I’ve already read this book but still, it should be on everyone’s wish list because this is Teddy freaking Beaudine’s book and it’s a great contemporary romance! SEP always delivers, that’s for sure.
2. Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning.
MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.
Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.
What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh — a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?
From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world… or destroy it.
I’ve read the first book in this series and while I enjoyed it, I haven’t picked up any of the other books but I want to. I’m seeing a lot of people reading and loving this series and I’m curious to see what I’m missing out on but these books come out in hard cover. I’m cheap, I can only do paperbacks so that’s why this book is on my wish list.
3. Scandal of the Year by Laura Lee Guhrke.
One tryst was all she wanted . . . From their very first meeting, Julia knew that Aidan Carr, the oh-so-proper Duke of Trathen, had a bit of the devil in him, a devil who …
Alright, so I’ve already read this book too but still…this book should be on everyone’s wish list if they’ve read the first book in this series. I really enjoyed the first book (first love stories always get me) and this one adds more goodness to an already great series so put this book on your wishlist, you won’t want to miss out on this book.
4. Unveiled by Courtney Milan.
Ash Turner has waited a lifetime to seek revenge on the man who ruined his family—and now the time for justice has arrived. At Parford Manor, he intends to take his place as the rightful heir to the dukedom and settle an old score with the current duke once and for all. But instead he finds himself drawn to a tempting beauty who has the power to undo all his dreams of vengeance….
Lady Margaret knows she should despise the man who’s stolen her fortune and her father’s legacy—the man she’s been ordered to spy on in the guise of a nurse. Yet the more she learns about the new duke, the less she can resist his smoldering appeal. Soon Margaret and Ash find themselves torn between old loyalties—and the tantalizing promise of passion….
This book looks like it’d be a good read and I’ve heard such good things about Courtney Milan so I’m putting this on my wish list because I want to read it dangit!
There are plenty more but I’d be here for days trying to get this post situated so I’m going to end this post here.
Are there any books that come out this month that you’re itching to own? Share your wish list with us!
