New Book Tuesday

I was a bad, bad girl…
Okay, not really. Despite having a lot of TBR books, every so often you find a good deal–just like I did here. I missed out on a Study In Charlotte on sale at Target last week, but Amazon still had the sale–a great paperback for under $6? I am SOLD! And, of course, in order to get the Prime Shipping I had to pick up a few more things. Despite A Whole New World already in paperback, I needed to pick up the hardcover so it matched my other books in the series. The Smart B$#$hes, Trashy books site is hosting an April Readathon for An Extraordinary Union, so I figured it was a must–I’ve heard great things about this book (despite not really reading romance), and it looks like it influenced me to pick up the novel written by Sheree Whitfield (of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame)–Wives, Fiancees, and Side-Chicks of Hotlanta. Interested in any of these? Check out the blurb AND my affiliate links below if you want to purchase any of them–it’s of no extra cost to you and it helps me get books AND support the blog!

She’s inherited Sherlock’s volatility and some of his vices—and when Jamie and Charlotte end up at the same Connecticut boarding school, Charlotte makes it clear she’s not looking for friends.
But when a student they both have a history with dies under suspicious circumstances, ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Jamie can no longer afford to keep his distance.

From Shereé Whitfield, one of the stars of Bravo TV’s hit show The Real Housewives of Atlanta, comes a debut novel that’s a page-turning mix of rumor, fiction, and a tantalizing dash of reality…
 Sasha Wellington has put herself on the fast track to success. Fresh out of college, she’s got her career as a fashion designer and entrepreneur all planned out. Her only wild card is choosing which city to launch from. When fate points her to Atlanta, she sets out to make her dreams come true…
 Before she knows it, Sasha’s befriended by two rival BFFs. First there’s Norman, savvy stylist to Atlanta’s stars, from the A-list on down. Then there’s Paris, an outrageous personality with a questionable nightlife. Between their antics, Sasha’s beyond grateful for her coworker, Casey. Married to an NBA player, Casey’s got class. But there’s more than meets the eye to being a baller’s wife. And the more time Sasha spends among the movers and shakers, the clearer it gets that just like on reality TV, the truth lies behind-the-scenes. Still, she’s not worried about getting caught up in the drama—until she’s romanced by a baller of her own. Can she stick to her game plan, or will Hotlanta derail her future—and reveal a side of herself even she didn’t know existed? Available in paperback and Kindle.
