By Sabrina Reed
Scandal in the VIP Suite by Nadine Gonzalez
Nadine Gonzalez‘ Scandal in the Vip Suite–the first book in her Miami Famous series–is scorching hot and that’s not just the Miami weather steaming up the luxury hotel room Nina Taylor has booked for a get-away. It’s the chemistry between her and Julian Knight, one of Hollywood’s bad boys who cost her the suite she wanted.
Open to compromise, Julian offers to share the room…that has only one bed. Thinking it’ll only be for a week, Nina agrees but nothing stays secret for long. Not when the hottest star in town has the paparazzi thirsting for their latest story.
Scandal in the VIP Suite is available now in e-book format and January 12 in print.
Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
It’s 1954 in Malinda Lo‘s latest YA novel, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and 17-year old Lily Hu is falling in love. She has never heard of romance between two women but when she comes across a book about such a thing, the possibility blooms in her heart. It’s how Lily knows what she feels for Kathleen Miller as they walk under the Telegraph Club’s neon sign is as real and as beautiful as she’s read in fiction.
But outside of the safe haven of the lesbian bar, the two must contend with the growing fear and paranoia gripping San Francisco. The Red Scare has turned neighbor against neighbor and Lily’s father is in danger of being deported despite having fought years for his citizenship.
Lily and Kath don’t want to hide but the world they know and the one they want feels like they’re both crumbling before them. Still, they’ll risk everything to be who they want to be, love who they want to love, and stay where they belong despite the odds stacked against them.
Last Night at the Telegraph Club will be available January 19 in print, audio, and e-book format.
