Sara Humphreys | My Top 5 Summer Beach Reads
GIVEAWAY: Win a copy of BRAVE THE HEAT
August 4, 2016
I’m heading out to our family beach house for a week of fun in the sun and toes
in the sand. Life has been crazy stressful over the past few months and I’m
really looking forward to getting away. Working from home has a number of
benefits but one of the downsides is that you never really turn off your job.
I’m constantly plugged in and it’s beginning to grate on me. In fact, at my
physical earlier this summer, my doctor told me that I need a vacation. He
literally wrote it on his prescription pad and handed it to me with direct
orders to take some time off. I am ready to follow his orders! Part of my vacation will include some much
needed reading for pure enjoyment. Not for research or to keep up with trends.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Part of my escape this week will involve slipping inside some
well written worlds. Here are the the 5 books that are going in my beach bag.
- THE RIDGE by Michael
Koryta: This looks like a scary suspenseful read with a hint of romance thrown
into the mix. I’ve never read one his books before but the blurb on the back
captured my interest and I love finding new-to-me authors!
- FULL THROTTLE by Julie
Ann Walker: Hot baddass guys on motorcycles? Yes, please.
- EXIT ZERO by Neil A.
Cohen: This is a zombie book and another new-to-me author. I met Neil at Walker
Stalker in New Jersey and he hooked me with his pitch. To top it off, there’s a
cover quote from Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame. Come ON! I had to get it. My
curiosity got the better of me.
- HEART
STRIKE by M.L. Buchman: This super hot romantic suspense looks fabulous! Not
only is the hero a badass soldier but so is the heroine. I adore reading strong
female characters. Can’t wait to dive in!
- DARK
CAROUSEL by Christine Feehan: Christine Feehan is my all-time favorite
author and the Queen of paranormal romance. I will read anything and everything
she writes. Period.
