Plus all the Harlequins which I never have time to list - but there are some good Blazes out as well as some historicals.
There's a lot to talk about today, starting with reissues. That's right: reissues.
Into the Dreaming (with bonus material) by Karen Marie Moning is a previously-to-today out-of-print novella; She wrote this before venturing into her Fever series, but Into the Dreaming (with bonus material) provides a glimpse into the world of the Fae.As KMM says in her author's note at the beginning of the book, this story doesn't fit into the chronology of the Fever Fae world, yet it's a snapshot of the "seeds of an idea I couldn't write yet".
Now, on to the new books! And there are some really terrific titles out today, including Kristin Higgans' new book (hurrah!), the latest Amanda Quick hardcover, and a fab new fireman debut from author Jennifer Bernard (check out my Q&A with her!)
Under a Vampire Moon (Argeneau Vampire Series #16)
Lyon's Bride (Chattan Curse Series)
Crystal Gardens I got Amanda Quick, aka Jayne Ann Krentz's--newest crystal gardens. I am a little confused however, because it is a lady of lantern street novel, and her last book left so many unanswered questions. I was sure when i finished reading the last one that she would start a new trilogy in arcane. now im not so sure. This series seems to have nothing to do with the previous couple books. but it is manda quuick--anything happens, and for a specific purpose
Another Tuesday, another dollar that we give to the publishers!
There are some terrific books out today; I can personally vouch for three of them and will be compiling a May recommendation thread later today. So, here are the hardcovers followed by paperbacks.
(Advance apologies for any mistaken books listed; it's hard to keep track of everything that's coming out so please know to read the publisher information when you're about to order a book.)

Not only the first Tuesday of the month, but the first Tuesday of summer. There's a lot of reading to be done folks.
First, a book I know so many of you are looking forward to, in hardcover is:
Tangle of Need (Psy-Changeling Series #11)
Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past--one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.
For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno...and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.
On to the paperbacks!

I meant to thank you, IrishContessa, for posting the link to that book last week! there are so many releases that I always overlook some, especially on the first Tuesdays of the month.
Today we've got a notable book out in that the pattern of Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades Trilogy #1) is being repeated. You could call Sylvia Day's Bared to You the heir apparent to E.L. James' book, both because of subject matter and the manner in which it was released: as a highly successful ebook. Well, a publisher took notice, slapped a Fifty-Shades-esque cover on it, and it's out today.
The reviews have been terrific, and for those of you who have read Sylva Day's books, you know she's a great storyteller. I myself am on the fence over the Fifty Shades phenomenon, but this book really interested me.
And now for something completely different! Johanna Lindsay's Let Love Find You , also out today, in hardcover. Description below!London society has its very own Cupid. Renowned horse breeder and occasional matchmaker Devin Baldwin pairs eligible young ladies with suitable gentlemen based on his theory of animal magnetism. Unafraid of ruffling the ton’s feathers, this darkly handsome Cupid doles out tips for bettering one’s chances of meeting a mate that are as pointed as the love legend’s sharpest arrows!
Lovely Amanda Locke, the daughter of a duke, is everything a nobleman could desire, yet she enters her third Season still searching for a match. Gossipmongers’ tongues are wagging, and her mystified family is considering drastic measures to find her a husband. But the insufferable advice of this Cupid fellow is the last thing Amanda wants.
When an earl passionate about horses becomes the target of her husband hunt, Amanda knows it’s time to overcome her fear of riding. With her sister-in-law Ophelia hastening the romance along by arranging riding lessons, Amanda is soon taking instruction from infuriating Devin Baldwin. Astonishingly, in her daily encounters with Devin—who treats her as an ordinary young woman, not a prize to be won at the marriage mart—Amanda experiences passion for the first time. Now, her search for a match takes her in an unexpected direction as she finds herself falling in love with Cupid himself.
Folks. Start budgeting, seriously. Out today!
