Can’t Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tessa over at Wishful Endings and it was based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme that is hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words.
I decided that I’m going to do a mashup of the Can’t Wait Wednesday and WWW Wednesday posts here on my blog. I’m bringing them together and calling it The Wednesday Post. Here’s what I’m up to this week.
WWW Wednesday
What did you recently finish reading?
It took me a lot longer to read this book than I thought it would take and I think it was because for a huge chunk of the book, it’s slow. Nothing really happens and the characters just weren’t that interesting for me. That bums me out because I was so looking forward to this book and while I did enjoy it, I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed Fumbled. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
I listened to this at work yesterday and from beginning to end, I was wrapped up in Dean and Lainie’s romance. I adored everything about this book from the romance, Lainie’s pregnancy, Dean trying to be there for Lainie any way that he can while at the same time, trying to forge a bond with Lainie’s son Jason. This book had me cheering for these characters to figure out how to be together so hard that when the book came to an end, I needed a cigarette. LOL, this book was good.
What are you currently reading?
I’m getting ready to start this book today. I can’t wait because Miranda Kenneally finally has another book coming out and I love her stuff so I’m all the way in on this one. Fingers crossed that it’s another winner.
What do you think you’ll read next?
A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh
The One for You (The Ones that Got Away #4) by Roni Loren
I’m plugging away on my review pile right now so these two books are up. I’ve heard good things about the Nalini Singh and I’m super looking forward to reading Kincaid’s book so I’m pretty stoked for my reading pile for the rest of the week.

Braden Mack thinks reading romance novels makes him an expert in love, but he’ll soon discover that real life is better than fiction.
Liv Papandreas has a dream job as a sous chef at Nashville’s hottest restaurant. Too bad the celebrity chef owner is less than charming behind kitchen doors. After she catches him harassing a young hostess, she confronts him and gets fired. Liv vows revenge, but she’ll need assistance to take on the powerful chef.
Unfortunately, that means turning to Braden Mack. When Liv’s blackballed from the restaurant scene, the charismatic nightclub entrepreneur offers to help expose her ex-boss, but she is suspicious of his motives. He’ll need to call in reinforcements: the Bromance Book Club.
Inspired by the romantic suspense novel they’re reading, the book club assist Liv in setting up a sting operation to take down the chef. But they’re just as eager to help Mack figure out the way to Liv’s heart… even while she’s determined to squelch the sparks between them before she gets burned.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I’m all kinds of excited for Mack and Liv’s book. Adams has a great writing style that’s easy to fall in with so I’m really looking forward to what she’s got in store for Liv and Mack. I can just see their chemistry sizzling and their romance steaming up my kindle. I can’t wait! This book comes out on March 10, 2020 so mark your calendars, I’m sure this book is not to be missed!
Are you looking forward to Undercover Bromance? What other books are you looking forward to releasing this year?
I was disappointed by Blitzed as well. I had so many expectations for Brynn’s story but it sadly didn’t live up to them.
I didn’t really have any expectations other than I expected to enjoy it but man was it really hard for me to get through the middle of the book. It just moved really slow and I felt like it took forever for shit to get going and I started losing interest in both Brynne and Maxwell. I’m glad that I stuck with it because I did end up liking it though I didn’t love it or like it as much as I did the other book.
I’m glad that it ended up getting better for you!
Thanks, Kayla!
I need to read/listen to getting played!!!
Yes! It was so much fun!
Oh no! Sorry Blitzed didn’t meet all your expectations, it sucks when a book lets you down some when you were so excited to read. Well jealous you have The One For You to read, I hope you enjoy it.
Yeah, I’m still bummed about Blitzed. Oh well, I’m still looking forward to more from the series.
I haven’t read the Blitzed series, so skipping it based on your review. Ain’t got no time for slow reads.
Happy reading!
Thanks, Joy. There are plenty of other fantastic books out there. Read those!
