Summer is upon us—Woohoo—and that means that means books and beach. If you
are anything like me you have poured over the numerous book lists. So, here is
one more—my top
ten book list to read.
1. Finding Fraser by KC Dyer.
Much like many others, I love the Outlander series especially Jamie Fraser—both the book and Sam Heughan. Finding Fraser
seems like a fun twist on the fan fiction and as a reader, I too would love to
find Jamie Fraser.
2. Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock
Social Media by Aliza Licht
Aliza Licht
is the DKNY PR girl, which is also her twitter handle. As a writer, I am always
looking for ways to rock social
media. I enjoy her twitter feed and I’m looking forward to reading
this to learn more.
3. Tattooed Hearts by
Mika Jolie
A fellow Secret Cravings author, I read the blurb and was hooked. Being
someone’s first love is unforgettable. Being their last
is immeasurable. How can you not want to read it.
4. Pete Sebastian, Coach by Jean Joachim
Another Secret Cravings author, I love an athlete and love to read
their stories.
5. Writing Scary Scenes by
Rayne Hall
I am always looking to improve my writing and this is one skill I wish to
develop since emotional writing is important to me.
6. Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood
The title really makes you do a double take. It is a cozy mystery series
set in 1920s Australia featuring a modern woman Miss Phyrne Fisher. I watch the
television series, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. I love the cast of
characters and I have to see what the books are all about.
7. Put Up Your Duke
by Megan Frampton
Another book title that grabbed him and more importantly, who doesn’t love a duke?
8. Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft
and her daughter, Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon
I must confess this book I have had since the week of its release and
have yet to read it—deadline
and all. This mother and daughter added to the world with their specific
talents and smarts and to read the biography in book and see the influence of
mother to daughter intrigues me in way that no other biography can.
9. The Moneypenny Diaries: Guardian Angel by Samantha Weinberg
using pseudonym Kate Westbrook.
I am a fan of James Bond and growing up I yearned for Moneypenny to do
more than announce Bond to M. Finally, it has arrived. This is the first book
in a series of novels and short stories.
10. The entire collection of Julia Quinn novels
Why? For one simple reason, good books are always worth reading over and
over and over.
His Lady Charlie
In glittering world of Regency England, Lady Charlotte Hammersley,
Charlie as she is known, is more than a wallflower, she is the wall supporting
the flower. Her father has pronounced this is her fourth and final season. The
last chance for her to marry the man she loves. When she overhears the Earl of
Harrington place a wager to turn any lady into the toast of the ton,
Charlie presented herself.
The Earl of Harrington must win the wager to save his brother from
destruction and the minx vows she is the perfect lady for him. He finds he
cannot deny her as she intrigues him, as he has never been before. Navigating
the London Season, they face scandal, jealously and the possibility their wager
may be discovered and ruin their lives.
Will they win the biggest gamble of all—for their love?
Author Bio:
An Air Force brat, Mageela Troche landed in New York City and wanted
to leave the same day she arrived. Yet, with her stubbornness, she learned to
like the place and the libraries were the main reason. Once Mageela learned to
read and write, she decided to be an author and an actress. Once in college,
she changed her life plan in the pursuit of money. After all, college loans
must be repaid.
With life’s twists and turns,
she returned to writing and focused on the romance genre. Good thing since
Mageela cannot cook, fold a fitted sheet but can organize a bookshelf to hold
the loads of books she possesses. She has an obsession with DIY though she
never does any of it and is the proud owner of a feisty lovebird, Boobula.
Mageela is currently writing her next novel.

Enjoyed your post, Mageela. Thanks so much for the book recommendations. I, too, love Jamie Fraser. Your book sounds great, and the cover is wonderful.
What a great list! So many wonderful books! Thank you for sharing and all the best with your book!
Learned some new books I will simply have to read. Yours sounds great, as I love all things Regency,
Cara Marsi, Jamie Fraser is delicious and so is Sam Heughan. I'm experiencing Droughtlander big time. Thanks for the compliment.
Melissa Keir, all the news stories talk about getting a Summer body. For me, Summer is all about getting the perfect summer reading list.
Jean Heart Stewart, I'm glad I shared some new reads with you. That is a plus. I love the Regency too. I always wanted to write one and I finally did it.
Thank you all for commenting.
Thanks so much for the great book list. Looks like I might have some new authors to look into! I do like Julia Quinn though.
