It's Tuesday! A day full of fun new books to read!
Treasure Keeper by Shana Abe: This is the latest in Shana's Drakon series, and we're going to be reading all the books and discussing in the April book club. I am SO excited to read this one!
Then Comes Seduction (Huxtable Series) by Mary Balogh. This is the second book in the series, about the third Huxtable daughter, Katherine. One of London's most notorious rakes accepts a bet that he can seduce Katherine within a fortnight. I read the first in this series, First Comes Marriage (Huxtable Series), and I'll definitely be reading this one. The series is about the Huxtables, who were raised in modest conditions. In the first book, the youngest, Stephen, is discovered to be a duke and the family is instantly transported into the highest circles of society. There will be two more books in the series after this one.
Highland Scoundrel This is the third book in Monica McCarty's Campbell Trilogy, after Highland Warrior and Highland Outlaw. As you can tell from the titles, they're Scottish!
Sudden Death by Allison Brennan. An FBI agent and a soldier-for-hire investigate the murder of a Delta Force soldier.
Rebel Waltz by Kay Hooper. A woman sells her haunted Southern plantation to a man who can see the old home's ghosts.

Between you SciFi and Paranormal I am so swamped with books that I want the library may lock the doors on me because I keep asking for all the new releases you guys post that they may not want to see me on my Wednesday visit. I saw Mona's book in the grocery store today on their bookrack and wished that I had the money to get it.

Then we're doing our jobs!
This week there are some really wonderful books being released. I think these authors write faster than I can read! There are definitely more than I can post about, so if I ever forget a great new release, please post about it!
ROMANTIC SUSPENSE
Whisper of Warning: A woman witnesses the murder of her married ex-boyfriend, and begins to fall for the detective in charge of the case.
Tall, Dark and Deadly: Becke, here's a cover for you. The book sounds good too. It's about a woman who leaves her job as a cop in the big city for a quiet small town life. Of course, her plans go awry. In her new town, there's a serial killer targeting women, and she has to solve the case with the help of a sexy FBI agent.
HISTORICALS
Texas Hold Him: I can't resist this title. It's hilarious! This is a Western historical.
Some Like It Wild: The latest from the wonderful Teresa Medeiros. This is the second in her series that began with Some Like It Wicked.
Sins of a Wicked Duke: This is Sophie Jordan's latest book, and she'll be here to chat with us about next week!
Confessions of a Little Black Gown: A young lady discovers the perfect dress when her luggage is misplaced; she wears it and catches the eye of a dashing spy. Memoirs of a Scandalous Red Dress comes the following month. You can imagine how I feel about these covers.

Smooth Talking Stranger: This latest contemporary romance from Lisa Kleypas has gotten some truly wonderful reviews from Romantic Times and Booklist. An advice columnist is left with her sister's baby, and as she searches for the father, she finds love with a Houston millionaire. Check out the trailer for this at Lisa's website.

It's Tuesday! Here's a sampling of what's available now!
Contemporary
Nauti Intentions I swear Lora Leigh puts out a new book every Tuesday! I have no idea how she writes so fast, but if you like 'em steamy, then pick this one up. It's her fourth "Nauti" book.
Thanks for the Memories Cecelia Ahern is the author of PS, I Love You, one of the best tear-jerker books ever. She's chatting about her new book over at Center Stage.
The Diary is by Eileen Goudge. This is a meaty story about two sisters who discover that their father wasn't their mother's true love. This one's in hardcover.
Historical
The Secret Wedding by Jo Beverley, one of the great historical authors out there. Highly recommended. It's about a man who was secretly married years earlier and what happens when he "reacquaints" himself with his wife.
Tempted at Midnight The latest in Jacquie D'Alessandro's wonderful Midnight series.
Mistress of the Sun For those of you who love Phillipa Gregory but would like to read about a different country, try Sandra Gulland. Her books are historical fiction taking place in France. This is about Louise de la Vallière, Louis XIV's mistress.
The Mage (Sons of Destiny Series #8) This is the latest and final in Jean Johnson's Sons of Destiny series. Here's the description of the series, from her website: Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day-they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy. To avoid tempting their destiny, the brothers are exiled to Nightfall Island, a land where women are strictly forbidden. But, when the youngest of the mage-brothers rescues a woman from another universe, their world is altered forever.
This is the matchmaking brother's story.
White Star The second in Elizabeth Vaughan's new fantasy series. The first book was called Dagger-Star.
Some Girls Bite Chloe Neill's debut book about a grad student who gets turned to Vampire.
Suspense
Take Me Two Times This is the second in Karen Kendall's series about an agency that recovers stolen art and artifacts. It sounds like such fun! This book takes the heroine and hero (exes!) to Venice in search of an ancient mask. Check out the trailer for the book at the author's website.
Riding on Instinct by Jaci Burton. This series features undercover bikers. Enough said. For those of you who like extra-steamy reads.
Last Gasp by Silhouette author Carla Cassidy. Here's the story copy: Ever since she found her mother and siblings murdered, Allison Clemmins has hated her father, Hank, who is imprisoned for the crimes. Then Seth Walker arrives in town, a lawyer determined to exonerate Hank, to unearth the secrets that should have been revealed long ago. He also offers Allison the one thing missing from her life—the ability to trust a man.
But as fate finds them in each other’s arms, a psychotic killer— either the original or a copycat—makes himself known...
Sounds good to me!
