Some KB future release pimpage...
I'm a big fan of Bonnie Dee's books. Not a future release, but it came out last month. New Life is self published and the blurb is really eye catching.
Synopsis: Since the car accident that caused traumatic brain injury, Jason has fought to regain his memories and the ability to organize thoughts and control emotions. His promising future shattered, he works as a night janitor in an office building and clings to routine to make it through his days.
New lawyer Anna breaks down one evening after fumbling her first court case. Self-doubt brings her to tears in a deserted stairwell where Jason finds her and offers comforting words. From this unexpected meeting an unlikely romance begins.
A casual coffee date soon leads to a deeper connection and eventually a steamy affair. But are Jason and Anna’s growing feelings for each other strong enough to overcome the social chasm that divides them and the very real issues of Jason’s disability.
Another self publish book by a debut author. I guess this one would be in the realm of New Adult? Unbroken by Melody Grace, releasing March 12th.
Synopsis: Juliet McKenzie was an innocent eighteen-year old when she spent the summer in Cedar Cove—and fell head over heels in love with Emerson. Complicated, intense Emerson, the local bad boy.

Juliet swore she’d never go back, and she’s kept that promise… Until now.
Four years later, Juliet’s done her best to rebuild the wreckage of her shattered life. She’s got a great boyfriend, and a steady job planned after she graduates. Returning to Cedar Cove to pack up her family’s beach house to prepare it for sale, Juliet is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her future. But one look from Emerson, and all her old desire comes flooding back. He let her go once, but this time, he’s not giving up without a fight. And Emerson fights dirty.
A heartbreaking history. An unstoppable passion. Torn between her past and future, Juliet struggles to separate love from desire. But will they find a way to overcome their tragic secrets—together? And after so much damage has been done, can a love remain unbroken?

I'm ready to give both my kidneys to get my hands on The Mistress, the 4th book (final book in the current day "Red Years") in Tiffany Reisz's soul sucking, so very addicting Original Sinners series. Releasing July 30th from Mira Books. Seriously, I have the shakes waiting for this one.
Synopsis: Nora Sutherlin is being held, bound and naked. Under different circumstances, she would enjoy the situation immensely, but her captor isn't interested in play. Or pity.
As the reality of her impending peril unfolds, Nora becomes Scheherazade, buying each hour of her life with stories-sensual tales of Søren, Kingsley and Wesley, each of whom has tempted and tested and tortured her in his own way. This, Nora realizes, is her life: nothing so simple, so vanilla, as a mere love triangle for her. It's a knot in a silken cord, a tangled mass of longings of the body and the heart and the mind. And it may unravel at any moment.
But in Nora's world, no one is ever truly powerless-a cadre of her friends, protectors and lovers stands ready to do anything to save her, even when the only certainty seems to be sacrifice and heartbreak....
Do you have any future book releases I should have on my buying radar?

New Life was really good. It was funny in parts especially Jason explaining his brain injury, which is not funny at all, but his humorous take on drooling on his pillow being OK because "normal" people do that too when they sleep just cracked me up.
I'm looking forward to Kate Noble's book, also. I won a copy of If I Fall and had to scramble for her backlist after that.
I am looking forward to Heart of Iron by Bec McMaster. It'll be out in May. I read Kiss Of Steel last year and really liked the paranormal steampunk mix. It was a very different take on vampires.
I've heard great things about McMaster. I do enjoy Steampunk, specifically Meljean Brook and Gail Carriger.
