Hey Everyone!
Though it was only the first week of May where I live it has been so hot and sunny everyone felt like summer had come early this year. With the temperature rising to 27-30 degrees C everyone wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather and spend as much time outdoors as possible. The terraces of the restaurants and the parsk are full at lunch time, and it is funny seeing colleagues start to have a tan just from spending their lunch break out in the fresh air 😀
I just love it when the weather is nice and warm, especially when I’m reading a particularly gripping book that I can take a sandwich and spend my lunch break on a bench in the park reading my lunch hour away. I remember exactly that’s how I devoured Gini Koch’s Touched by an Alien on a sunny …

She’s Dr. Isabel Favor, America’s diva of self-help.
He’s Ren Gage, Hollywood’s favorite bad guy.
Sometimes you just know that God has a sense of humor.
She’s lost her money to an unscrupulous accountant, her fiance to a frumpy older woman, and her reputation to headlines denouncing her as a fraud.

Guest post by Juliana Ross + Giveaway
Today I am very happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc and introduce you to Juliana Ross, the author of the wonderfully spicy historical romance: Improper Relations, released by Carina Press in April.

(and thanks to Juliana’s generosity you could even get to know Leo, the hero if you win the copy of Improper Relations offered in the giveaway)

Hannah: You’re most …

Willa Rayes, only daughter of a legendary Lingorian fighter pilot, can fly any ship in the galaxy. Better than her brothers, in fact. But does that get her any respect? Not as long as she has breasts. Winning the Nebulon Trike will not only force her family to notice her, it’ll be her declaration of independence from men in general.

Hello my fellow Book Lovers! How was this week for you? Hope it was perfect!
This week we finally get a reprieve for all those mass book releases, but for any YA fans out there, this is yet another heavy week I’m afraid. Some of the most highly anticipated YA titles hit the shelves on May 8th among them the newest installment in The Mortal Instrument series by Cassandra Clare.
Let’s start!
Amanda: Beauty by Laurell K. Hamilton
The steamy outtake that takes readers even further into Laurell K. Hamilton’s bestselling novel, Kiss the Dead.
You’d think I’d get used to seeing such a beautiful man and knowing he was mine, but it never grew old, as if his beauty and the fact that he was mine, and I was his, would forever surprise me.
