I can’t believe it’s already release day for @marilee.loves.to.write and her debut, A Courtship of Conspiracies!

I’m glad she kept this a secret for as long as she did and already had the ball rolling when she announced she was moving from Bookstagrammer 👉🏻 author! That way, I didn’t have to wait too long to get my hands on it.

So proud of you, Marilee 🩷 Can’t wait to dive in!


Description:
James Campbell, Earl of Brenton, is an agent of the Crown hunting a killer. Driven by grief and a relentless need for justice, he has followed a trail from the country’s darkest corners to the most powerful circles of high society. After a string of reckless choices, James must prove his steadiness by securing the marriage society expects. It should be a simple matter of duty…until the captivating woman in question proves to have a talent for finding trouble and unsettling his carefully laid plans.

Lady Katherine Sutherland has spent her life balancing society’s rigid expectations with a guarded secret of her own. When a startling discovery draws her into a web of treason, Kate finds herself on a collision course with the very man she is expected to marry—the one man capable of uncovering the truth she has spent years hiding.

As a deadly conspiracy closes in and an unseen enemy tracks their every move, James and Kate must decide what they are willing to risk for the truth, for the Crown, and for each other. In a game of shifting loyalties and precarious alliances, falling in love may be the riskiest move of all.

A Courtship of Conspiracies begins a new Regency spy romance series, full of intrigue, danger, and all the swoon without the spice. ...

EAT THE CAKE by Annie Cathryn will be here before you know it! July 21 is the DAY!

I adore @msanniecathryn and her books! The Friendship Breakup is still one of my faves!

EAT THE CAKE description:
Leah Wright spends her days advising thousands of podcast listeners on how to live their best lives. But since her husband Elliot died, she has been running on autopilot—until a very public on-air meltdown forces her into a mandatory leave of absence. With her career at stake and her sponsors wavering, Leah is finally compelled to confront the silence of her empty home.

Then, the impossible happens.

A bouquet of flowers arrives at her door with a note from Elliot. Hidden among his belongings, Leah discovers an itinerary for the surprise trip to Florence that he never had the chance to give her. Urged by her sister-in-law to find closure, Leah flies to Italy, only to uncover that Elliot has left her one final gift: a scavenger hunt through the winding, sun-drenched streets of the city.

As the clues become more personal, the mystery deepens. How could he have known what she would need to hear months after his death? To find the final message, Leah must stop hiding behind her podcast persona and confront the secret guilt she has been carrying—or risk remaining broken forever.

Review:
This book will break your heart a little, but Annie does an amazing job navigating grief, reconciling the guilt Leah has, and creating a heart-warming adventure to find healing.
