I absolutely love the Immortals After Dark Series, and Carrow is going to for sure be one fantastic heroine. If you haven’t read the excerpt yet on Cole’s website, go do it now!!

Trapped together in a savage prison...

3. Finding Perfect by Susan Mallery
Publish Date: 8/31/10
Publisher: HQN

I love all things Susan Mallery, and this is no exception. The return of Raoul from the Bakery Sisters Series was a super pleasant surprise, and this book is awesome (I got a sneak peak!)

Pia was your typical popular girl in high school – she made friends easily, cheered on the squad, and had her share of dates with the school jocks. But she’s always had a hard time committing to something, or someone.

So when her best friend Crystal succumbs to cancer, Pia is devastated, but also shocked by the inheritance her friend has left her – her frozen embryos! Pia’s in a quandary. It’s not like she can just throw them away. But is she really capable of being responsible for another human being?

For once, Pia throws caution to the wind and decides to embrace Crystal’s legacy. But as she struggles with her decision, another complication arises that Pia is totally unprepared for. She finally meets the man of her dreams…and her life becomes more confusing than she ever thought possible.*Blurb from Goodreads*

4. Corralled by Lorelei James
Publish Date: 8/3/10
Publisher: NAL

Who doesn’t love the Rough Riders Series? Well this new series by James I’m sure will not disappoint! Plus, who doesn’t love hot cowboys??

First in a new series about some hard-riding rodeo cowboys...and the women who can rein them in.

Sports therapist Lainie Capshaw has been rehabilitating injured cowboys long enough to know that a charming western drawl combined with a fine physical form doesn't mean you fall for the man.

So no one is more surprised than Lainie when she finds herself involved with not one, but two different men: Hank Lawson, a bullfighter, and Kyle Gilchrist, a bull rider. Lainie feels guilty about her two-timing, but it doesn't keep her from doubling her fun-that is until Hank catches her with Kyle.

She's shocked that Hank isn't mad. But she's more shocked to learn Hank and Kyle are hometown buddies. But when the men offer to share her-in every way-she knows that she's going to have to choose the one man who can give her the ride of her life...*Blurb from Goodreads*

5. Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
Publish Date: 8/31/10
Publisher: HarperTeen

While I’m not usually a huge fan on YA books, I have heard nothing but great things about this book, plus the cover is so incredible. I can’t wait to just stare at it for awhile!

Sixteen-year-old Evie's job is bagging and tagging paranormals. Possessing the strange ability to see through their glamours, she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. But when someone--or something--starts taking out the vamps, werewolves, and other odd beasties she's worked hard to help become productive members of society, she's got to figure it out before they all disappear and the world becomes utterly normal.

Normal is so overrated.*Blurb taken from Goodreads*
