We still have some hot, sultry days left of summer. What’s better than curling up in a chair on a sunny deck, or cuddling up in bed with the A/C on, and reading a truly great romance novel? Not a lot.

If you’re like us, you have a list of TBR books that you’ll need to achieve immortality to finish. We’re not judging, promise. We have, however, put together a list of books that we definitely recommend you read before fall creeps in.

Let’s start with Going Down Easy by TRS favorite author Erin Nicholas. Part of the Boys of the Big Easy series, (who doesn’t love a romance set in NOLA?), this is a story of a what starts out as a red-hot fling. Single dad meets single mom with scorching hot results.

Going Down Easy by Erin Nicholas

Hot fling or real thing? There are no Big Easy answers in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Erin Nicholas’s sultry series.

As far as flings go, single dad Gabe Trahan is pretty sure that Addison Sloan is his best bet. Once a month, Addison comes to New Orleans and then…It. Is. On. Until Addison returns to New York, it’s just hot, happily-no-strings-attached sex. And beignets. And jazz. But lately, for Gabe, it isn’t nearly enough.

Sure, maybe Addison’s gotten a bit hooked on Gabe. After all, who can resist a guy who’s so sexy, so charming, and so…available? But maybe he’s too available for her right now. Addison’s just moved to New Orleans, and relationships are definitely off the table. Besides, guys always bail when they learn her secret: she’s a single mom.

Only Gabe’s not running. Worse, he’s thrilled. But Addison never signed up for ever-after romance, and Gabe won’t settle for anything less. Now it’s a battle of wills—and when it comes to the woman he’s falling for, Gabe isn’t above playing a little dirty.

But when two of her girls are put out of commission, Stella realizes that Nick isn’t just a red-hot distraction. He might be the answer to her pilfering prayers.

Now, Nick and Stella are putting everything on the line for one last job. But when two thieves have this much chemistry, it’s only a matter of time before somebody’s heart gets stolen.
