Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Breaking The Spine spotlighting upcoming releases we’re looking forward to.
This week’s can’t-wait-to-read selection is:
Title: Hawaii Magic
Author: Beverly Jenkins
Workaholic attorney Anita Hunt is on the job 24/7. She’s looking to make partner, not party. While on a forced vacation in Hawaii, she meets gorgeous pilot Steve Blair. When engine trouble forces them to make a crash landing, the seductive airman shows her a side of the exotic island and herself she never expected—and a passion that could make them partners in paradise forever.…
One note on this book – it was initially published in 2012 as part of the Island for Two anthology. This is the first time it’s been released on its own. Not that anyone needs any reason to buy a Beverly Jenkins book.
What about you? What are you looking forward to this week?
