Something Wilder by Christina Lauren (Gallery)

Appeared on the May 2022 LibraryReads list

“Lily and Leo had a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, but then Leo disappears. Ten years later, they are brought back together when Leo's on a boy's trip at Lily's cowboy retreat, but suddenly a misstep finds the group seeking a buried treasure. Crazy plot-twists and betrayals guarantee a fresh, readable romance.”—Taylor Banze, St. Charles City-County Library, O’Fallon, MO

Still the One by Jill Shalvis (Berkley)

Appeared on the April 2015 LibraryReads list

"Although all the books in this Animal Magnetism series have strong heroines, this one is the absolute best. And chemistry—wowza, it’s intense. The novel brings a focus on two important social issues: the lack of funding available for those who need physical therapy, and the fact that service dogs who do not pass their certification should not be thrown away. I fell in love and learned something at the same time. Instant classic.”—Amanda Brown, Roanoke Public Libraries, Roanoke, VA

A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Kensington; LJ starred review)

Rancher Jesse Pleasant has a problem: his quick temper scared someone so badly they hurt themselves; now Miss Leona won’t talk to him, his family is disappointed, and he feels lost. Lily-Grace Leroux has had it with Jesse too. He was one of the few kids in school who didn’t tease her for her vitiligo, but she wants him to know he had no right to threaten her father. Lily-Grace stuns Jesse by verbally turning him inside-out and threatening violence if he comes near her father. To make it up to her, Jesse works on his temper, and Lily-Grace soon finds herself drawn to him. Jesse has been a fan favorite since Weatherspoon introduced him in the series’ first installment (A Cowboy to Remember), so this book will be in high demand from readers. Weatherspoon discusses Lily-Grace’s vitiligo and Jesse’s therapy sessions with subtlety and care and doesn’t give Jesse an easy out for his faults. VERDICT If Weatherspoon isn’t already on autobuy, now’s the time.—Melanie C. Duncan
