We’re almost there guys. Almost. There. 2017 is just a week away and I am so looking forward to the new year. For so many, many reasons.
HISTORICAL-
The Duke by Kerrigan Byrne – AMZ * BN * Audible
Kerrigan Byrne has quickly become my newest auto-buy author in the historical romance genre. The Duke is the fourth Book in the Victorian Rebels series and each book, in my opinion, are must reads for fans of historical romance. This is the Duke of Trenwyth’s story.
Book one: The Highwayman
Book two: The Hunter
Book three: The Highlander
Expected release date: February 7, 2017
Duke of Desire by Elizabeth Hoyt – AMZ * BN * Audible
Have you read Duke of Pleasure yet? If not, then you need to get on that. If you have, go read the preview for Duke of Desire at the end.
Wants.
Expected release date: August 29, 2017
Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas – AMZ * BN * Audible
This is a no brainer. Lady Pandora Ravenel meets her match in the form of Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent. YES, I said Lord St. Vincent. Gabriel is the son of Sebastian and Evangeline from Devil in Winter.
Yesssssssssssss.
This might be my most anticipated book of 2017.
Expected release date: February 21, 2017
The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband by Julia Quinn – AMZ * BN * Audible
The blurb for this makes me think the second book in the Rokesbys series will be some kind of historical romance retelling of While You Were Sleeping. Which is … intriguing.
Expected release date: May 30, 2017
The Day of the Duchess by Sarah MacLean – AMZ * BN * Audible
I didn’t love the first two book in this series, although I think I’m in the minority as I enjoyed Scot in the Dark more than The Rogue Not Taken. The third book will feature Seraphina and her estranged husband, the Duke of Haven and I am always up for a second chance romance.
I expect lots of groveling and begging and heartfelt apologies.
Expected release date: June 27, 2017
CONTEMPORARY-
Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen – AMZ * BN * Audible
2016 was the year of Sarina Bowen for me. I loved every single book I read of her’s this year. Hard Hitter features the Brooklyn Bruisers enforcer Patrick O’Doul and the team’s massage therapist. I have this waiting for me on my Kindle, but I’m waiting until the perfect weekend to read because I know this author and I’m sure I will be useless for anything else until I’ve read every word.
Book one: Rookie Move
Expected release date: January 3, 2017
The Cad and the Co-ed by L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid – AMZ * BN * Audible
I ADORE this series. ADORE. I ADORE Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway. Together they are magic.
Cocky playboy Bryan Leech has a one-night stand with Sean Cassidy’s sister, Eilish and the next morning wakes up with no idea of exactly who she is. And of course there is a secret baby. And I think there might be a lot of Bryan trying to convince Eilish that he’s a changed man.
grabby hands
Expected release date: February 2017
Good Boy by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy – AMZ * BN * Audible
After reading Us, the sequel to Him, I remember thinking that I hoped this writing duo would return to this world sometime in the future. So I was pretty stoked when I saw on FB and Twitter that they would be writing a spin-off series. Good Boy, the first book in the WAGs series, will feature Jess Canning and Blake Riley. Remember them hooking up in Us? Well, now we get the whole story and find out if these two are meant for each other.
Expected release date: January 31, 2017
The Comfort Zone by Sally Thorne – AMZ * BN * Audible
First off, if you haven’t read The Hating Game go read it right now.
Secondly, there is no blurb yet. But, I don’t care, I’m adding it to my list anyway.
Expected release date: Summer 2017
Twist by Kylie Scott – AMZ * BN * Audible
I’ve been looking and looking for this book for months. I thought it was to be released at the end of 2016, but either I’m crazy or the release date was moved.
Sexy bartender Joe (who we met in Dirty) plays around with his brother’s online dating account and meets the girl of his dreams.
Gimme.
Expected release date: April 11, 2017
Beard in Mind by Penny Reid – AMZ * BN * Audible
I think this is Beau’s book. I think. I believe that’s what I read in the newsletter. If you are hoping Billy will get his HEA any time soon, I’m pretty sure I also read that his book is last in the Winston Brothers series.
Expected release date: July 2017
FANTASY/URBAN FANTASY/STEAMPUNK
Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop – AMZ * BN * Audible
whispers… I’ve already read this
But what kind of most anticipated list doesn’t have the last Others book listed?
It’s good. Like really good and I think everyone will be pleased.
Expected release date: March 7, 2017
Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs – AMZ * BN * Audible
whispers some more…. I’ve already read this one too
What can I say? I have no willpower.
Silence Fallen was very interesting. Amazing and absolutely unputdownable, but also… interesting.
Expected release date: March 7, 2017
Snared by Jennifer Estep – AMZ * BN * Audible
Another adventure with Gin and crew. Hopefully they will find a few more clues about The Circle.
Expected release date: April 25, 2017
Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet – AMZ * BN * Audible
I really enjoyed the first book in the Kingmaker Chronicles, A Promise of Fire. As soon as Breath of Fire came up for review I snapped it up. I haven’t read it yet, probably closer to release date, but I am excited to finally delve back into this world.
Expected release date: January 3, 2017
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor – AMZ * BN * Audible
The Blurb for this book is so unique. I don’t know what to make of it.
Strange the Dreamer is the story of:
the aftermath of a war between gods and men
a mysterious city stripped of its name
a mythic hero with blood on his hands
a young librarian with a singular dream
a girl every bit as perilous as she is imperiled
alchemy and blood candy, nightmares and godspawn, moths and monsters, friendship and treachery, love and carnage.Welcome to Weep.
See what I mean?
Expected release date: March 28, 2017
Iron Seas #5 by Meljean Brook – AMZ * BN * Audible
Meljean Brook is one of my very favorite authors. The Kraken King is easily in the top five of my favorite romances. To say I am excited for another book in this series is an understatement. All I know about Iron Seas #5 so far is that it is the blacksmith’s book. But I really don’t care, I just need me some Meljean in 2017.
Expected release date: 2017 ???????
Silver Silence by Nalini Singh – AMZ * BN * Audible
This is officially Psy-Changeling Trinity book number one. I know it will feature Silver Mercant, but I don’t think there has been any word yet on who her love interest will be.
Expected release date: June 15, 2017
The Ippos King by Grace Draven – AMZ * BN * Audible
Wraith Kings #3. Wants. Wants bad.
Expected release date: 2017 ???????
White Hot by Ilona Andrews – AMZ * BN * Audible
I’m kind of happy that this release got pushed back a year because now we get not one, but two releases in this series in 2017. YAY FOR MORE ILONA ANDREWS!
I’m so excited for more Nevada and Connor “Mad” Rogan.
Expected release date: May 30, 2017
Wildfire (book three) expected release date: July 25, 2017
Untitled- Kate Daniels # 10 by Ilona Andrews – AMZ * BN * Audible
This is it guys. The end of the Kate Daniels series. Pleasepleasepleaseplease don’t let anyone I love die. Pleasepleasepleaseplease. I’m mentally wrapping Derek and Julie and Ascanio and Andrea and Raphael and Barabas and… oh hell, EVERYONE in bubble wrap.
Expected release date: 2017
PNR/DYSTOPIAN
Shadow’s Seduction by Kresley Cole – AMZ * BN * Audible
Not only is this the second release in the Dacians series, but it is also a m/m.
grabby hands
This is probably my second most anticipated book of the year.
Expected release date: February 17, 2017
Ashwin by Kit Rocha – AMZ * BN * Audible
I’ve been intrigued by Ashwin almost from the moment he first appeared on page. I love that this writing duo decided to put me out of my misery by kicking off their spin off series with his and Kora’s story. I LOVE IT.
Also, knowing that there were more stories coming in this world made reading the final Beyond book easier.
Expected release date: 2017
Wicked Abyss by Kresley Cole – AMZ * BN * Audible
Still no Furie or Kristoff. Still no Nix. Wicked Abyss will feature Sian and Lila. I know who Sian is, I think, but I don’t believe we’ve met Lila yet.
Man, Furie’s story had better be freaking EPIC after this long wait.
Expected release date: April 25, 2017
