Hello, everyone! I hope you're all having a great day. Today I wanted to do something a bit different and showcase a few books that I'm wanting to read soon. Below is the Top 10 Adult Books That I Want to Read in the near future. I know this is something very different for me, I usually showcase mostly Young Adult, but I figured some of my readers are like me and do like an adult book sometimes. I would love to have each of these read by the end of the year. Most of these books are for mature eyes so yeah.
Let's do this!
This whole series is amazing, I enjoy this authors writing style and her books always make me laugh. This is the last book in the series and though I'm sad that it's the last book, I'm excited to read it.
The steamy conclusion of C. L. Parker’s Monkey Business Trio
They
have been rivals who fought until the bitter end and lovers who know
every sensual inch of each other’s bodies. Now sports agents Cassidy
Whalen and Shaw Matthews are about to become the one thing they never
expected to be: parents. But this new dynamic to their relationship
threatens to fizzle the sizzling desire that once held them in thrall to
each other. If salvation is only a forbidden fantasy away, then Shaw
and the woman he loves must embark on the adventure of their lives.
Cassidy
is aching to reignite their connection. In steamy assignations in
strange places, she and Shaw live out their most intimate desires—and
reveal their deepest secrets. But as Shaw works overtime to sign a
superstar athlete, a corporate reshuffling could be a game-changer. Can
Cassidy and Shaw save their relationship and have it all—a career,
family, and passion that never quits?
I must say this is a book that I've been dying to get my hands on and read, I love this author's books!
From the author of Once Upon a Cowboy (“Sexy,
charming, and perfectly heartwarming.”—Lauren Layne) comes another
sweet novel of the Whisper Creek Ranch, where sizzling Montana men melt
the most stubborn hearts.
After Alexis Maguire’s
wedding day comes and goes without a groom, she decides that it’s time
for a change. Tired of being the dependable, steady—and apparently
boring—one, Alexis hopes that a cross-country road trip will help her
loosen up and find her inner sparkle. Her first stop is the Whisper
Creek Ranch, where the hot wranglers are sure to bring out her inner
party girl. The trouble is, she can’t stand pretending to be someone
she’s not—especially around the cowboy who tempts her to stay put.
Gunnar Peterson has spent six months working at Whisper Creek, and he’s
never been happier. Having grown up an army brat, he’s ready to put
down roots, and the only thing missing is a woman to share his life
with. When Alexis blows into town, Gunnar thinks he may have met his
match, despite the wild-child facade he sees right through. But Alexis
swears she won’t settle down anytime soon—so it’s up to Gunnar to
convince her that what she’s looking for . . . is right here.
Do I even need to say why this book is on this list. Okay it's because of the author and I loved the first book in the series. Plus it's Kentucky men! (Just saying.)
#1 New York Times
bestselling author J. R. Ward delivers the second novel in her Bourbon
Kings series—a sweeping saga of a Southern dynasty struggling to
maintain a façade of privilege and prosperity, while secrets and
indiscretions threaten its very foundation…
In
Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of
high society—just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their
complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who
inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true
now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to
look more and more like murder…
No one is above
suspicion—especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood
between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that
he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death
intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle—as well as
with his former horse trainer’s daughter. Meanwhile, the family’s
financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business
rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.
Everything has
consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at
the very brink of the family’s demise, someone thought lost to them
forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a
savior...or the worst of all the sinners?
Another one of my favorite authors! I adore everything written by her.
Sometimes you have to create your own destiny...
Christy
Knight grew up in Destiny, Ohio, but lately she feels that her future
lies elsewhere. Her parents are gone and the beautiful jewelry she
creates doesn't pay the bills. Maybe it's time for Christy to grow up
and find a guy who's smart, sexy, and solvent. Her rugged handyman
neighbor fits the first two categories, but he's all wrong for her. If
only he didn't have such captivating blue eyes.
Wary of trusting
others, Jack DuVall hasn't been entirely honest with Christy. He's not
really a handyman. He's not really broke. And sharing the long drive to
visit her beloved grandpa isn't just about gallantry—he finds gorgeous,
feisty Christy completely irresistible.
When secrets are exposed,
Jack and Christy struggle to find their way back to one another, but
the quirky seaside town of Coral Cove could prove the perfect place to
find a red-hot destiny of their own.
I am super excited to read this one, it's been on my shelf for over a year and this author is super sweet. I read the first chapter the first night I bought this one, but was at a convention and haven't gotten the chance to pick it back up yet. I think I need to make the time now though.
Leaving him was Impossible…
It
took everything she had for FBI Special Agent Danica Beckett to walk
away from the man she loved. But if she wants to save his life, she has
to keep her distance. Now, with a killer on the loose and the stakes
higher than ever before, the Department of Covert Ops is forcing these
former lovers into an uneasy alliance…whether they like it or not.
Seeing her again is even worse
The
last thing Clayne Buchanan wants is to be shackled to the woman who
broke his heart. She gets under his skin in a way no one ever has and
makes him want things he has no right to anymore. All he has to do is
suffer through this case and he can be free of her for good. But when
Clayne finds out why Danica left in the first place, everything he’s
tried to bury comes roaring back—and there’s no way this wolf shifter is
going to take no for an answer this time.
This one is another book that's been on my shelf for awhile, though it sounds amazing. I can't wait to pick it up and read it.
When nurse Tish Everett
forced open the pesky but lovely locket she found at an estate sale,
she had no idea she was answering the call of Criminy Stain, from the
far off land of Sang. He’d cast a spell for her, but when she’s
transported right to him, she’s not so sure she’s ready to be under the
spell of another man. (It didn’t go so well last time with controlling,
abusive, domineering Jeff.) If only Criminy wasn’t so deliciously
rakish….
Half the inhabitants of Sang are Pinkies—human—and the
other half are Bludmen, who in Tish’s world would be called vampires.
But they don’t mess with any of the bat/coffin/no sunlight nonsense.
They’re rather like you and me, just more fabulous, long living, and
mostly indestructible. (They're also very good kissers.) But when the
evil Mayor of Manchester (formerly Bludchester) redoubles his efforts to
rid Sang of the Bludmen once and for all, stealing Tish’s locket in
hopes of traveling back to her world himself for reinforcements, Criminy
and Tish must battle ghosts, sea monsters, wayward submarines, a secret
cabal, and thundering Bludmares to get the locket back and allow Tish
to return home…but has she found love with Criminy? Could she stay in
Sang forever?
Another book that's been on my shelf for some time, I even have the second book as well. It's one of those books that I loved the movie so I thought oooh maybe I should read the book. Yep I need to read this one!
Something Borrowed tells the story of Rachel, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan.
Rachel
has always been the consummate good girl—until her thirtieth birthday,
when her best friend, Darcy, throws her a party. That night, after too
many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiancé. Although she
wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is
horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she
should run from. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel knows she
has to make a choice. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between
right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes
you have to risk all to win true happiness.
Something Borrowed is a phenomenal debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.
I have to admit, I have a pile of this type of book on my shelves, this one however caught my attention this week and I really want to read it. So the plan is to take it to work with me and read it durning lunch.

On
location for a film about a horse-racing dynasty, Lily Beaumont is
drawn into a sizzling affair with sexy stablehand Nash James. Now she
has to trust him with the truth about their baby.
Even though
the undercover millionaire is on a mission against his hated rival, he
won't walk away from Lily or their unborn child. It will mean coming

him to Kentucky horse country. But will the truth cost him the woman and
family he now craves?
I love this author and have this whole series in paperback. I can't wait to read this one, they look and sound so good. This one will probably be the second one I read on this list.
John Palmer hasn't felt
like a real man since he was injured during combat in Iraq. Though not
content with his new life, he is mostly adapting, just like the other
vets at the Lost ‘N’ Found Investigative Service. When Shannon Murphy is
hired on as the new office manager, life suddenly gets a lot more
interesting. Before long, John finds himself wondering if he could ever
be the kind of man Shannon needs.
Shannon Murphy wasn't really looking
for love when she hired on at LNF, but finds herself hopelessly
attracted to the sex-on-wheels former Marine, John Palmer. The man is
grumpy and nearly impossible to work with, but his brand of masculinity
appeals to her on a basic level. Soon Shannon is wondering just what it
would take for John to want her the way she wants him.
When an old
enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on
protecting her. He moves into her house, fanning the spark of attraction
into a blaze. But the danger continues to escalate. Will the connection
that they've found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their
lives?
Last but not least, Outlander! This book is huge so it's going to take me some time, but I have been dying to read this one. I love the show so much so it's only natural for me to want to read it as well.
The year is 1945.
Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and
reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a
standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British
Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by
war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.
Hurled
back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into
the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and
shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior,
shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between
fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two
irreconcilable lives.
