It's summer and time to scoop up incredible books for your summer reading list. Here are some I especially recommend because they are quick, short reads, or suspenseful reads, or just heart-warming love stories. Take your pick! 

Looking for the audiobook versions? Scroll down. 

Let's start with summer's biggest sport - BASEBALL! 

DAN ALEXANDER, PITCHER (baseball romance)

Fed up with cheating women, Dan Alexander, star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks, grew restless. Searching for something more than a bar babe, he zeroed in on a girl in the stands. He never expected to see a beautiful chick pushing frankfurters. But the hot dog girl looked as smokin’ as the food she was selling.

Holly Merrill found a place to hide in plain sight, as a vendor at Nighthawks’ stadium. Keeping her secret safe and simply happy to stay alive, she never considered finding love an option. After all, a bad girl doesn’t deserve a decent guy, does she?

Coming off his best season ever, Dan went into the playoffs, hell bent on winning the pennant and playing in the World Series. But could he maintain his focus on the field, where everything was going right, when off the field everything was falling apart?  Locker room language. Full novel.

If Amy is the one, why can’t Mike forget Heather? He’d spent a magical ten days with her on Fire Island, ten days that changed his life. Then he’d screwed it up. As quickly as she entered his world, Heather disappeared, blocking his calls, and leaving him bereft.

UNMPREDICTABLE LOVE (Pine Grove series, Book 1)


When SSGT Trent Stevens receives a letter and hot picture from Jory Walker, he thinks his dreams have come true. Deployed in the Middle East, the lonely soldier writes back right away and waits impatiently for a reply.  

Uh oh. Amber signed her sister's name on a pen pal letter to a Marine, and Jory is stuck fixing the little white lie.  

As letters pour in from SSGT Trent Stevens, Jory has no choice but to respond, though, he's probably drooling over Amber's bikini photo, thinking it’s Jory. What harm could it do if she sends him a few letters? After all, they'll never meet, right?

When love sneaks up on Jory, will her charade boomerang? Is unpredictable love destined to break two hearts? Full novel.
