A Court o Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, 626 pages

Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she's now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people.

As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil.

John by Jenna Myles, 506 pages

  never planned on getting out of prison. I did what I did to keep my brother safe, and I could live with that.

But now I'm out, and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Everything is too loud, too busy, too overwhelming. And for a man who's used to every decision being made for him...well, let's just say I'm on the verge of doing something stupid to get sent back.

Until she walks in, that is.

She's dangerous, with her pink hair, sunny personality, and a body that makes me all too aware that I haven't been with a woman in eighteen years. But a woman like that, made of pure sunshine, should stay far away from a scarred, broken man like me.

Only she doesn't agree. And soon, I find myself spending way too much time with her. Feeding her. Laughing with her. Worrying about her.

But she can't be mine.

Because a man like me doesn't deserve a dream like her.

The Lycan King Has Overdue Fines by Tansy Underhill, 399 pages

 The library’s new system just sent an overdue notice for a book checked out in 1826.

This morning, the borrower came in to pay.
All six foot six of him.

I’m the librarian in a town too small for secrets, which is how I know Ambrose Blackpine hasn’t come down his mountain in anyone’s living memory. He came down for a library fine. Two hundred years late, and unreasonably calm about it.

He tries to pay in gold. I make him take his change.

Then he gets a library card.

He checks out one book at a time, and finds the romance shelf. He reads my favorites, all of them, and returns each one with notes in the margins. The notes are suggestions. The suggestions are promises. My cat, who tries to bite everyone, sleeps in his lap.

And the silver coming in at his temples? It started the moment he met me. His kind don’t age until they find the one they’ve been waiting for.

“Two centuries, little librarian. You were worth the late fee.”

The book he never returned is his pack’s courting law. On the intended line, in ink that hasn’t dried, is my name. Fate says I’m his.

He can keep the book. I haven’t decided if he can keep me.

Bridezillas and Billionaires by Alina Jacobs, 333 pages

 Have you ever had one of those really bad days at work?

You know one where the maid of honor accuses the bride of cheating on the groom with the best man AND the groom’s father?

No? Just me?

Welcome to life as a wedding planner for the rich and entitled of Manhattan. I've seen it all--from the nastiest bridezilla to the most overindulged billionaire.

And Evan is the worst.

Tall, dark, and handsome, he has a ridiculously ripped body under his formal suit and runs a massive hedgefund that’s actively making the world a worse place. I don’t even feel sorry for him when he walks away from the alter in a daze.

Well, maybe a little bit.

Enough that I now have a billionaire holed up in my teeny tiny apartment. I regret it immediately. My violently antisocial cat has welcomed him like a long lost brother, Evan’s half-naked six-foot-five frame is sprawled across my bed, and he’s eaten all of my lasagna. A day and an epic screaming match later, he’s out on the street, and I have my high-stress, lonely life back. But I can’t worry about a billionaire’s hurt feelings. After all I have a business to run and bridezillas to corral. But when I go to meet with my latest bride, guess-who is there smirking at me.

Evan’s decided he’s ready to move on from the cheating witch. Who does he want as he rebound?

Me.

But I am immune to Evan’s obnoxious displays of wealth and his piercing blue eyes. These panties are staying firmly on. Mostly. Except for that one time. But it’s not like anyone’s falling in love right?

Right?!

Nick by Jenna Myles, 338 pages

 The night I met Bree, she was beaten and broken. I saw her pain and fear, but I also saw her strength. I was drawn to her right from the start.

But her sister’s in love with my brother.
We all live in the same building, and I was very expressly warned to keep my hands to myself.
In other words, Cara told me she’d cut off my balls if I went there.
But when Declan asks me to spend time with Bree so he can convince her sister to move in with him, I can’t say no.
I can do this. I can be her friend.
I can ignore her lush lips, her killer curves and just be there for her, any way she needs me.
I’m doing it too, never crossing that line…until she knocks on my door at midnight.
Now I want to make her mine, but i’m not just up against our family, i’m also fighting Bree’s demons.
And I’m pretty sure her sister runs faster than me, even in her stilettos.

Jonas by Jenna Myles, 364 pages

 I didn’t notice her.

She greeted me with a cheery smile for years, but other than nodding back, I treated her just like I do all my employees…like she’s invisible.

I’m not an asshole. I swear. I’ve learned that to thrive in a family built for chaos, I need the rest of the world to disappear into the background. I’ve divided everything up into two categories: Matters and Doesn’t Matter.

But in one short meeting, everything changes. Janey’s now at the very top of the Matters category. And coming from a man that’s never even been on a date, that’s saying a lot. She’s all I think about. All I dream about. I want her.

I want to be her husband.

I thought I could wait. I thought I could woo her slowly. But when she goes missing, I realize I’m done waiting.

So I propose…literally. Marry me for one year, and you don’t have to struggle anymore. I thought it was a long shot. I thought she’d say no.

I was wrong.

Now she’s mine. But can I convince her to make this marriage real? Or will she walk away with my heart at the end of a year?
