| Sandra Renee Pesso | Crazy Little Thing by Tracy Brogan (Bell Harbor, #1, Montlake Romance—available now) If Sadie Turner is good at anything, it’s putting stuff in order. So when she finds her “perfect” life in disarray, she hopes a summer vacation at her aunt’s lake house will help her piece it back together. She wants to relax, reboot, and heal the wounds left by her cheating ex-husband. And that requires time away from men. All men.
Whether the story is laced with comedy, action, or angst, the second-chance romance packs a wonderful emotional punch. I hope you found some new titles for your summer TBR list.

Or so she thinks. With two slobbering dogs and two cousins living there—one a flamboyant decorator intent on making over Sadie—it’s hard to get a moment’s peace at eccentric Aunt Dody’s house, especially with everyone so determined to set her up with Desmond, the sexy new neighbor. Desmond is Sadie’s worst nightmare. Tall, tanned, muscular . . . and to top it off, he’s great with her kids. But he must have a flaw—he’s a man—so Sadie vows to keep her distance. As summer blazes on, the life Sadie is trying so hard to simplify only becomes more complicated—a new career presents itself, her evil ex haunts her, and Aunt Dody reveals a tragic secret—but maybe a little chaos is just what Sadie needs to get her life back in order.
