There are some great summer releases coming out soon and I can’t wait. Is there anything better than stretching out in the summer sun with a cold drink and a good book? Whether I’m in the backyard or on the beach, it’s one of my favorite summer pastimes. I’m particularly looking forward to the upcoming releases below, in no particular order and Adriana Locke’s Flaunt is not pictured because the cover has yet to be revealed.

“Run Away Love” Love SOUNDS AMAZING (thank you!) I can’t get enough romance reads right now but I am trying to stay away from fantasy/historical/or anything that feels super fake to me. A sexy novel doesn’t hurt either (lol). I just finished the first two books in the Midlife Romance series by Lisa Battalia (https://www.lisabattalia.com/).
The main character Lori has dedicated her life to her family. Her career and dreams have all been put on hold to take care of her husband and children. So, what happens when after 20 years of marriage, her husband leaves? I feel like the author does a fantastic job writing about sexy grown-up characters that you can actually relate to. Lori reconnects with her old friend Brandon (the two have a bond that has remained even though they haven’t seen each other in a decade!) She plans an impromptu trip to visit him and CUE the steamy couldn’t-put-the-book-down-romance. However, I liked this book so much because it’s not just an easy reigniting of past love. They are both adults, with financial obligations, and children, and they can’t just run away and live happily ever after. I was rooting for them from start to finish. If you end up checking it out, I would love to know what you think!
