Dear Reader,
April is a bit of a mixed-bag month, isn’t it? In
some countries, like here in the United States, it’s tax season, which for
many is either a very stressful time or a time of “Hurray! Tax-return money
arrives!” We also get Easter weekend, which comes with days off for some.
April is also the month where we finally (hopefully) really start seeing the
change of seasons from winter to spring, let out a long breath and kick our
children outdoors for longer periods of time (surely it’s not just me who
does that?).
So I guess it’s only appropriate that our releases
this month are also a mixed bag. Carina Press is able to bring you an
assortment of titles to help bust you out of any lingering winter blues. The
month starts off with a smokin’-hot bang via Abby Wood’s erotic contemporary
cowboy romance Consent to Love. Joining her in the first week of April are Sandy
James with her contemporary romance Rules of the Game, and Regency romance The Perfect Impostor by Wendy Soliman.
Also in the contemporary romance genre in April we
have His Secret Temptation by Cat Schield, Serious Play by Bonnie Dee and Summer Devon, and North of Heartbreak by Julie Rowe. Historical romance author M.K.
Chester joins the April lineup with Surrender to the Roman, and Juliana Ross heats up the Victorian era with
erotic historical romance Improper Relations. Returning with three more books in her White
series is author Susan Edwards.
Talented Natalie J. Damschroder returns with
another crowd-pleasing romantic suspense, Acceptable Risks. And if you love that book, make sure you check
out her previous romantic suspense, Fight or Flight, from our 2011 release schedule!
For those of you who prefer your romance a bit
more…otherworldly, Kaylea Cross’s Darkest Caress is a paranormal romance of magical races, darkly
handsome men and fiercely independent women. Ella Drake takes us to her
vision of our post-apocalyptic world in Desert Blade, and new Carina Press author Kay Keppler’s Zero Gravity Outcasts takes readers on a science-fiction adventure with
a hint of romance. Fans of male/male romance should be on the lookout for Brook Street: Fortune Hunter , the next in author Ava March’s regency
historical trilogy.
Last, but certainly not least, we’re very pleased
to present debut author Christopher Beats’s steampunk noir Cruel Numbers this month. Visit Christopher’s alternate
historical world in which the North loses the War of Southern Secession, one
girl’s talent for analytical machines has made her a valuable asset in the
new world, and steam-powered gadgets may give war veteran Donovan Schist the
edge he needs to save his life, and hers.
I think April’s schedule of releases is a good
reason to wish for just one more snow day—so you can stay inside and read! I
hope you enjoy these books as much as we have.
We love to hear from readers, and you can email us

Happy reading!
