Elsie Silver is gifted in writing romance series with steamy encounters, and this upcoming release is no different. Tabitha marries a man she hates in order to keep her guardianship status to her nephew. The man she marries, Rhys Dupris, harbors secrets that cause him to disappear for weeks at a time. Tabitha can’t stand him. And yet, the more time she spends with Rhys, the more she realizes he’s more than just a broody jerk, making it that much harder to hate him. We’re taking a ride on the Wild Side with this western romance, and we want Rhys to take the reins.

The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore

Laurie Gilmore has written the coziest series possibly ever read set in the small, quaint town of Dream Harbor. In this installment, a single dad moves to a small town to run a pancake restaurant and build a community for his daughter. Iris is in need of a job, and it just so happens that single dad Archer is looking for a live-in nanny. As she gets to know Archer and his shirtless cooking ways, she finds it difficult to keep things professional between them. We are here for the hot single dad/nanny hookups!

I don’t know about anybody else, but I had no idea Suzanne Collins was gearing up for a fifth book in the Hunger Games series. We’re taken to the 50th annual Hunger Games, where they’re taking double the number of tributes. Haymitch Abernathy in District 12th just cares about staying with the love of his life. When his name gets called as a tribute, he now has to care about winning and getting back to her. With three other tributes from his district, he has to fight in that deadly arena and prove everyone wrong that believes he’s going to fail. This is not a drill — we are getting Haymitch’s story!

The Ragpicker King by Cassandra Clare

Kel Saren is a body double to the crown prince of Castellane and has to find who’s responsible for the royal palace massacre. The Ragpicker King holds the answers Kel seeks, but he’s a dangerous criminal ruling the underworld. Kel follows clues to a dark conspiracy under control of a man engaged to the woman he loves. Lin Caster is under a false identity as the Goddess Reborn in order to save her friend and is meant to be a savior to her people. Lin is asked by the crown prince to use powers she doesn’t have to take the ancient magic out of his father, the King. Lin and Kel are both stuck in limbo, deciding who can be trusted or who will ultimately be their downfall. Can you say, unlikely romance?

These five notable authors are gracing us with more books in March, and we are excited. From wild country romances, sweet small-town ones, thrilling Hunger Games stories, to a regal fantasy, you need to make sure you snatch these up. You can never have enough books.
