It's Monday! What Are You Reading? July 12, 2021 #IMWAYR

      

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are! 

**************************************

We had a busy weekend with lots of family time, pizza, Legos, sleepovers, baseball games, and Arts in the Park. I loved it and marvel about how different this summer is from last summer when we were all sheltering in place because of COVID. So far, things are good in our state but I hope cases don't start to go up again. How is it where you live? 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. 

Happy reading!

Release Day! Love (Crush #3) by Lacey Weatherford

"You thought you had a #CRUSH.
You thought you were #SMITTEN.

Prepare your heart for full blown #LOVE
as Dylan swoons his way to the top of your book boyfriend list!"

– Belinda Boring, Bestselling Author of the Mystic Wolves Series  

 Love ( Crush #3 ) 

By Lacey Weatherford

Living happily ever after has always been part of the plan for Cami and Dylan, but when strange things begin happening around the Wilcock household, Cami simply believes she’s becoming forgetful.

However, when the incidents begin to escalate, both are left feeling vulnerable. Unable to figure out what’s going on, Dylan delves deeper into the mysterious happenings. But when the truth comes out, he finds himself faced with the biggest decision of his life—how far will he go to protect the one he loves?

Exclusive Teaser- Never before shared!

Lifting the damaged pillow, I examined the fabric, feeling my nerves skyrocket again. This didn't look chewed up. It looked sliced. And it was one of the pillows from my side of the bed. Getting a garbage bag, I carefully, I put the contents inside and made my way into the kitchen. Pausing to stare at the block of sharp cutting knives on the counter, I noticed they all seemed to be in the right place. 

Grabbing a plastic baggie, I slid my hand inside and carefully began sliding each knife from its slot one at a time and examining it. I stopped when I arrived at a small paring knife, immediately spotting a tiny clump of black strings clinging near the base that exactly matched the color of my pillowcase. My heart was pounding. Unless Cami was pissed at me and had gone a little crazy, someone had been in my house—our house—with her.

"Lacey Weatherford keeps the surprises coming. Just when you think the story ended at SMITTEN, she hits us with a semi truck, POW, with another fantastic and explosive storyline. Makes you fall in #LOVE with the characters all over again!”

-Lisa Markson, The Paranormal Bookworm

“Dylan and Cami have done it again! They made me laugh, cry, and turned my heart into a puddle of goo! "LOVE" is the best book in this series yet, and I have enjoyed every step of the journey this series took me on!”

– Christina Racich, Pretty Lil Page Turners
