Hey, friends! Just checking in to share with you all the recent book mail I've received over the past few weeks. What makes it even sweeter? I just so happen to be great friends with each of these authors. Keep reading for all the deets on these amazing new releases. From enemies-to-lovers to friends-to-lovers to second-chance romance, trust me, you'll want to add every one of them to your TBR...
Chandra Blumberg's rom-coms never disappoint, and her latest release, LOVE IS AN OPEN BOOK, is no exception. Here's more on what Publishers Weekly is calling a believable and exciting story, with sexy banter and plenty of humor throughout...
Blurring the line between fiction and reality...
Mia Brady never imagined her romance novels would become bestsellers, much less inspire a hit TV show. However, after signing a deal to write the final book of the series, she’s struck by a serious case of writer’s block. Her fans are clamoring for a passionate payoff, but Mia’s own experience with heartbreak—and current lack of real-life romance—is getting in the way. Do friends who become lovers ever truly have a happy ending?
Gavin Lane would like to think so. As Mia’s ride-or-die BFF, he’s been by her side through it all and convinced himself his crush on her is a thing of the past. He’s not about to let his feelings ruin their friendship, and never will. But things get complicated when Mia pitches a bold idea to help save her career: testing out tried-and-true love story tropes...together.
From workplace romance to fish-out-of-water, Mia and Gavin embark on a series of “experiments” to spark a little creativity—but they are not prepared for the flame that ignites between them. Does their friendship even stand a chance when pure fantasy suddenly becomes a little too real?

Ebony Grace Livingston was raised to be flawless. A debutante-turned-elite event planner, she built a life around breathtaking galas, whispered exclusives, and the kind of connections money can’t buy. But when her husband’s betrayal turns her into high society’s juiciest scandal, Ebony decides she’s done curating perfection for everyone but herself. With a high-profile wedding to pull off, a social media following obsessed with her every move, and a no-nonsense life coach reminding her that the real glow-up starts from within, Ebony is ready to write her next chapter—on her own terms. The only thing standing in her way? Lincoln Bridges, the maddeningly meticulous architect overseeing the historic venue she needs to transform. He’s stubborn, insufferably charming, and worst of all, the one man who saw through her marriage before she did.
Their creative clashes reignite old wounds, unfinished business, and the kind of chemistry that once felt inevitable. But in a world where power is played in private lounges, loyalty is measured in invitations, and champagne flows as freely as the gossip, Ebony will have to decide if rewriting her future means making room for something real.
Set in an exclusive world where wealth whispers, bottomless brunches double as battleground boardrooms, and reputation is the ultimate currency, Ebony is about to prove that reinvention isn’t just an option—it’s a luxury she’s finally ready to afford.
Mia Heintzelman’s THE DIVORCETANTE is a sharp, addictive ride through scandal and second chances, with a slow-burn romance you won’t see coming!
Ebony Grace Livingston is flawed but fierce, smart enough to know her worth, and strong enough to fight for it. Watching her reclaim her throne is nothing short of thrilling as she ditches perfection and takes back control. And the chemistry between her and Lincoln Bridges? It’s tense, layered, and just the right kind of steamy to keep you turning the pages.
Mia once again nails the second chance trope with a story that’s emotional, sophisticated, and deeply satisfying. Set in a world where reputation is currency and reinvention is power, this five-star read is a grown-woman, reclaim-your-power anthem that’s the perfect summer read!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and don't forget to add these fabulous books to your TBR! I'll see you next month, when I will be sharing deets on my Local Yarn Store Day book signing at Miss Purl...📚
