Hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date #IMWAYR is a weekly meme to connect with fellow readers. It’s a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading. It’s a great post to organise your upcoming week and an opportunity to visit other bloggers … and of course, add to your groaning TBR pile!
Here’s what I’m reading:
On my bedside table: the final book in the Dirty Cowboy series
Sexy Dirty Cowboy by Elle Thorpe
Rem ‘Viper’ James knew his secrets wouldn’t stay buried forever. He just never expected to be arrested in front of 20,000 screaming rodeo fans. Dragged into an interrogation room, Rem is given an ultimatum: testify against his old motorcycle club or face another stint in a cell.
There’s only one answer when going back inside means leaving in a body bag.
Whitney Nicholson was left humiliated after her boyfriend’s secret life was exposed. After all, as a police detective, she should have seen it coming. So it’s salt in the wound when Whitney’s boss sends her to babysit an ex-MC member, who’s been masquerading as a cowboy on the rodeo circuit.
To add insult to injury, they’re going into hiding in a tiny country town. As a married couple.
Whitney has no interest in a relationship: pretend or otherwise. But as small-town life begins to grow on her, so does Rem. There’s something sexy, dirty, and oh so hot about the man whose life she’s supposed to protect.
However, when mysterious and disturbing crimes begin occurring around them, Whitney will need to decide if her cowboy is worth risking not only her heart, but also her life.

The Slow Burn by Ali Rosen
Between a breakup and a burned-down restaurant, there’s nothing left in New York for Kit Roth except the ashes of her success.
Needing distance and distraction, she agrees to work for her best friend’s pasta-making nonna in the Italian countryside. But instead of providing a quiet sabbatical to eat up time while her kitchen is rebuilt, the small town of Manciano keeps pulling Kit into its rituals and rhythms. And before long, it shows her everything she’s been missing. Simpler cooking, community…and Nico Ruspoli, an olive oil producer with his own scorched past. But with Kit determined to leave after three months, and Nico rooted to his grove, their growing chemistry is at odds with what they both want for their future.
Yet with each passing week, Kit finds herself measuring less and tasting more. And when it’s time to go back to her life in New York, she doesn’t know what—or who—she’s willing to leave behind.
On my kindle app: Nothing at the moment. After DNFing the last book, an ARC from NetGalley, I’m going to give my Kindle app a break this week.
