Young American scholar Kendra Van Zant, eager to pursue her vision of a perfect life, interviews Isabel McFarland just when the elderly woman is ready to give up secrets about the war that she has kept for decades-beginning with who she really is. My dream vacation right now is a cool spot with mountains in the background, an unlimited supply of iced tea with lemon, and long, lazy hours of uninterrupted reading.About the Book Present day, Oxford, England. I’m particularly excited about The Secret Mistress by Mary Balogh, The Devilish Montague by Patricia Rice, Black Ties and Lullabies by Jane Graves, Sunset Bridge by Emilie Richards, Can’t Hurry Love by Christie Ridgway, and One Summer by JoAnn Ross because they are by authors whose books I usually love and parts of series in which I’m already invested. I’ve already read and enjoyed four (fewer than usual because I’m on deadline):ĭangerous Lord, Innocent Governess – Christine MerrillĪnd I’m currently reading A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.Īnother 16 are on my TBR or TBB lists, and there are some others I’ll probably check out as time and book budget allow. Gift cards will make it easier to buy all the books on my list. Which July releases have you read? Of those, which ones do you recommend? Which ones are you most looking forward to reading? Tell us and one lucky commenter will win a random book from my prize stash! Oh, and thanks to Gannon’s review, I want to read Black Ties and Lullabies by Jane Graves. Though, I am looking forward to Lorraine Heath’s Waking Up with the Duke and Christina Brooke’s debut, Heiress in Love, which I have heard so many good things about. I know! I’ve been busy with vacation and work and kids.

July brings us another month of hot, new releases! Believe it or not, I have not read a single July releases yet. Needless to say, I’m already saving up for it. :) I had a blast at last year’s conference and am really looking forward to attending the 2013 conference that will be held in Atlanta. I know that she is having a ton of fun and I can’t wait to read all about her adventure and view her pictures, of which I’m sure there will be many.

Summer is in full swing and many authors, aspiring authors, and readers are gathered together in the Big Apple right now for this year’s RWA conference, including our very own PJ.
