Every Little Thing (Hart's Boardwalk #2) by Samantha Young
Hartwell, Delaware—the perfect place to get away from it all, and find what you never knew you needed…
Bailey Hartwell has many reasons to feel content—her successful business, a close circle of friends, and her steady boyfriend…even if their romance feels staid after ten years without a serious commitment. The only challenge in her life comes in the form of sexy businessman Vaughn Tremaine. She thinks the ex-New Yorker acts superior and that he considers her a small-town nobody. But when Bailey’s blindsided by a betrayal, she’s shocked to discover Vaughn is actually a decent guy.
Vaughn admires Bailey’s free spirit, independence, and loyalty. As his passion for her has grown, his antagonism toward her has only worsened. Every little thing Bailey does seduces him. But when Vaughn’s painful emotional past makes him walk away in fear he will hurt her, it opens an old wound in Bailey, and she uncharacteristically retreats.
Once Vaughn begins to realize he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he has no choice but to fight like he’s never fought before to convince Bailey that the love they’ve found together only comes around once in a lifetime.

Why so excited? I absolutely love Samantha Young's books. She has become an autobuy
author for me, so this book is a no-brainer for this list!
Meet Bridget, a
successful travel journalist with ambitions to turn her quirky
relationship blog into a novel. But, after numerous rejections from
publishers, she accepts an alternative proposition: Nicole Dupre died
leaving behind a bestselling novel and an incomplete sequel, and the
family need someone to finish it. Bridget is just thankful to have her
foot in the publishing door. But as she gets to know Nicole’s grieving
family, and the woman behind the writing, Bridget’s priorities begin to
change …
Why so excited? Well, it's Paige Toon guys! Any more words needed? No, I don't think so! She is my queen of Chick-Lit. I am super excited for each book release every year. She writes fantastic books and when you think the stories can't get any better she publishes another bestseller.
This Love by Dani Atkins
Sophie Winter lives in a
self-imposed cocoon - she's a single, thirty-one year old translator
who works from home in her one bedroom flat. This isn’t really the life
she dreamed of, but then Sophie stopped believing in happy endings a
very long time ago, when she was fifteen years old and tragedy struck
her family. Her grief has left her scared of commitment and completely
risk averse, so she plays it safe and keeps everyone at arm’s
length. Sophie understands she has a problem, but recognising it and
knowing how to fix it are two entirely different things.
One night a serious fire breaks out in the flat below hers. Sophie is trapped in the burning building until a random passer-by, Ben, luckily happens to spot and rescue her. Suddenly her cocoon is shattered - what will be the consequences of this second life-changing event?
Why so excited? I had the chance to discover Dani Atkins beautiful writing this year. Our Song was the first book I read by Atkins and it certainly won't be tha last. Looking forward to her new release This Love.

The Escape by C.L. Taylor
"Look after your daughter's things. And your daughter…"
When a stranger asks Jo Blackmore for a lift she says yes, then swiftly wishes she hadn't.
The stranger knows Jo's name, she knows her husband Max and she's got a glove belonging to Jo's two year old daughter Elise.
What
begins with a subtle threat swiftly turns into a nightmare as the
police, social services and even Jo's own husband turn against her. No one believes that Elise is in danger. But Jo knows there's only one way to keep her child safe – RUN.
Why so excited? I try to include more and more reads "out of my comfort zone". I enjoyed a few psychological thrillers in the past and C.L. Taylor is definitively my go to author when I am looking a good dark, gripping and creepy story.
Das Mädchen aus Brooklyn: Roman (German Edition) by Guillaume Musso
Raphaël ist
überglücklich, in wenigen Wochen wird er seine große Liebe Anna
heiraten. Aber wieso weigert sie sich beharrlich, ihm von ihrer
Vergangenheit zu erzählen? Während eines romantischen Wochenendes an der
Côte d’Azur bringt Raphaël sie endlich dazu, ihr Schweigen zu brechen.
Was Anna dann offenbart, übersteigt jedoch alle seine Befürchtungen. Sie
zeigt ihm das Foto dreier Leichen und gesteht: »Das habe ich getan.«
Raphaël ist schockiert. Wer ist die Frau, in die er sich verliebt hat?
Doch ehe Anna sich ihm erklären kann, verschwindet sie spurlos. Raphaël
bittet seinen Freund Marc, einen ehemaligen Polizisten, um Hilfe.
Gemeinsam setzen sie alles daran, seine Verlobte wiederzufinden – der
Beginn einer dramatischen, atemlosen Suche nach der Wahrheit, die sie
bis in die dunklen Straßen von Harlem und Brooklyn führt.
Sorry, there is no english blurb available.
Why so excited?
I started to read english books about six years ago. Musso is a reason why I pick up a german book once or twince a year (his books are not often translated in english). I adore his books! I love that mixture of a good thriller with a heart-warming romance. I still have a few of his books unread on my shelf, altough I am super excited for his new book.

Lucy is the wrong side

up her Facebook newsfeed. All of her friends seem to be getting married
and having babies, and yet here she is, resolutely single, and no

How she longs for it to be her turn.
But finding love is complicated, and as time passes she wonders if there might just be another way to make her dreams come true. Is she brave enough to go it alone, or is the fantasy of 'baby makes three' just too precious to give up on?

How to Mend a Broken Heart by Anna Mansell
Life is good for nurse Kat. That is until the man she intended to marry legs it, she’s unexpectedly promoted to a position with too much responsibility, and a patient arrives on her ward under strange circumstances.
Susan is a mystery. She refuses to speak or interact with anyone, she’s obsessed with a book of fairy tales, and the only name in her diary is that of Rhys – a plumber she barely knows.
Down-to-earth Rhys is trying to get his life back on track after the death of his beloved brother. His mum is his priority, and she needs him as much as he needs her. Or at least she did, until she starts disappearing, leaving him to find comfort in the form of his brother’s girlfriend.
Complicated is an understatement. As the lives of these three lost strangers intertwine, will they find a way to lay ghosts past, present and future to rest? And when the chance comes to mend their broken hearts, will they be brave enough to take it?
