On top of my head… Josh Lanyon’s “Fair Chance”, Cat Sebastian’s “The Lawrence Browne Affairs”, and Kate Sherwood “Common Law” series
I have so many titles that I really enjoyed this year that it’s better for me to name authors because I tend to be working through their backlists…such as Kaje Harper, Susan MacNicol, Tara Lain, Michelle Sagara, Sharon Shinn, and many others.
An Unseen Attraction by KJ Charles and Peter Darling by Austin Chant were both wonderful.
Anna Wineheart – The Wizard by the Sea
Kayleigh Sky – Doll Baby
K.C. Wells – First
Ruth Lithgow – The Plunge and Still Water
T.T. Love – More Than Life
Amber Kell – End Street Volume 1
Key Simone – The Love Story
K. Sterling – Hide and Kill
A.E. Wasp – Incoming and A Christmas Outing
Erin Finnegan – Luchador
Jonathan Penn – Raising Cade
Tanya Chris – When It All Falls Down
Alexa Land – Worlds Away
A.E. Via – Nothing Special V
Garrett Leigh – Marked
To name a few…
Not many: True Colors by Anyta Sunday, Freak by E. Davies, Ge-Mi by Mell Eight, and Thick & Thin by Charlie Cochet.
Garrett Leigh’s Strays & the arc for Heidi Cullinan’s Shelter the Sea
Ember Peak series by Edie Danford, Made Marian series by Lucy Lennox, So this is Christmas by Josh Lanyon, Leo Loves Aries by Anyta Sunday, There’s this Guy by Rhys Ford, Moment of Fate and Moment of Silence by Karen Stivali, Imago and Swtiched by NR Walker. Lots of good books!
Hmmm. Two books come to mind that really surprised me by how much I enjoyed them. The Mystery of Nevermore by C S Poe had me literally laughing out loud, no easy task with me. Insight by Santino Hassell had me hating to put it down, which I had to do because I finally got to do a buddyread with my bestie, and we compared notes via email after a few chapters. It really drew me in and was my first paranormal book featuring psychic abilities.
I’m actually *way* behind on my m/m this year, but (even though the noncon scene would usually bother me) I found KA Merikan’s THE BLACK SHEEP AND THE ROTTEN APPLE really compelling…
Recently I adored KJ Charles’ An Unseen Attraction and Chris Scully’s Do Not Disturb. In YA, Honestly Ben by Bill Konigsberg.
The Lawrence Browne Affair and Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series
Tal Bauer’s Executive Office Series is my choice of the year for best books. I was riveted by this story and on the edge of my seat for three whole books! I even stayed up until 3am one morning until I was still too exhausted to continue. What a ride! Also enjoyed “There’s This Guy” by Rhys Ford. Very touching, romantic and stayed in my thoughts after the end. Others I found remarkable were “Thick and Thin”, “Imago” and “Leaning Into the Fall”
So many I would probably say Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs.
