Barefoot at Sunset by Roxanne St. Clair. This is a spinoff from her Barefoot Bay series and features older MCs.

Spoiler:

Introducing Barefoot Bay Timeless...a new trilogy celebrating the sexy silver fox hero! Set on the sun-washed sands of Barefoot Bay, these contemporary novels tell stories of second chances and redemption.

Barefoot at Sunset

When forty-eight year old widower Mark Solomon arrives in Barefoot Bay for his high school reunion, he's not quite prepared for the onslaught of memories or the attention from interested single women who've gathered for the annual event on the beach. He's ready to ditch the whole thing and resume his life as an adventure-seeking world traveler until he discovers a woman sobbing on his doorstep...and has an idea.

By her own admission, advertising copywriter Emma DeWitt is jaded, jilted, and jobless, but she goes over the edge when she learns that the resort villa that was supposed to be the site of her romantic honeymoon is occupied by a single man. But when the sexy silver fox who's staying in the villa surprises her with an irresistible offer to pose as his fake fiancée, Emma sees a way to have her week in paradise and begin healing her broken heart.

Mark believes every person has only one soul mate...and he's met, married, and buried his. Emma believes that love is a marketing concept created to sell fairy tales and expensive weddings. What if they are both wrong...and completely right for each other?

Moonshadow by Thea Harrison. This book was one of my favorites from last year. The next book in the series, Spellbinder, is coming out later this month and I plan on buying it on release day for full price, so that tells you how much I enjoyed Moonshadow.

Spoiler:

From bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the first in an explosive new trilogy set in the Elder Races world….

Her past is a blank, her future uncertain….

Recovering from a shooting, LAPD witch consultant Sophie Ross leaves her job and travels to the U.K. to search for answers about her childhood. When she encounters a Daoine Sidhe knight of the Dark Court, she becomes entangled in an ancient hatred between two arcane forces.

He has given his body and soul to fight for his people….

Barred from his homeland along with his surviving brother knights, Nikolas Sevigny is embroiled in a conflict that threatens everything he holds dear. Only by uniting his people’s resources can they hope to prevail against Isabeau, the deadly Queen of the Light Court. He will do anything and use anyone to return home to Lyonesse.

When Nikolas encounters Sophie, he sees a tool to be used. The insouciant witch might be the key to unlocking every passageway that has been barred to the knights of the Dark Court, even as a fascination for her takes root in what’s left of his soul.

Sophie has no intention of becoming anyone’s pawn, yet the fierce Nikolas is so compelling, she can’t deny the temptation that endangers her guarded heart.

As magic threatens Lyonesse, Queen Isabeau unleashes her merciless Hounds, and Nikolas and Sophie become embroiled in a race for survival. Meanwhile, the passion that ignites between them burns too hot to be denied and quickly turns into obsession.

Thank goodness they both know better than to fall in love…

The Darkest Hour, by Maya Banks on on sale for $0.99.

Book 1 of her KGI series

Spoiler:

The Kelly Group International (KGI): a super elite, top secret, family-run business that handles jobs the US government can't. Qualifications: Military background, high intelligence, and a rock hard body...

It’s been one year since ex-Navy SEAL Ethan Kelly last saw his wife Rachel alive. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt over his failures as a husband, Ethan shuts himself off from everything and everyone.

His brothers have tried to bring Ethan into the KGI fold, tried to break through the barriers he's built around himself, but Ethan refuses to respond...until he receives an anonymous phone call claiming Rachel is alive.

To save her, Ethan will have to dodge bullets, cross a jungle, and risk falling captive to a deadly drug cartel that threatens his own demise. And even if he succeeds, he’ll have to force Rachel to recover memories she can’t and doesn’t want to relive—the minute by minute terror of her darkest hour—for their love, and their lives, may depend on it.

I tried again to buy the new Robyn Bachar, Contingency Plan, at Harlequin's site, but it still shows as "coming soon" (it released July 3rd). They'd been doing so well with the Carina Press books lately...oh well. Since it's been a few days I went ahead and emailed them.

I just finished the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh. OMG.... I haven't felt this hungover since I finished the Fever series. What can I read next!??

The Guild Hunter series is now my favorite paranormal romance series of all time by passing the Fever series.

I don't know what to do with myself!

Luckily, you don't have to wait too much longer for the next one.

Have you read Thea Harrison's Elder Races series?

That's a great suggestion. If you already have the first book, Dragon Bound, definitely give it a try. I don't reread books very often, but this is one of my few exceptions. Plus, your library is bound to have at least a few of this series.

Thea Harrison is doing a spin-off series and I posted a couple of days ago about the first book, Moonshadow, being on sale for $0.99. You really don't have to read the Elder Races series before starting it, but if you already have Dragon Bound, I would read it first.

See me dancing around the room. I finally found Naked in Death. It is on sale today for $1.99 at Amazon.
Ok, resume dancing.

I did not like it. The second and third book are much better.

Okay I'll keep that in mind. I started Dark Prince last night. Old School but enjoying it so far.
