You may have seen my recommendation for The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell in my What I’m Lovin’ in August post, but I’ve got two saucier (and much lighter) recommendations to share with you below!
Earlier this summer I did what I’d been saying I was going to do for a while now: I went to my local library with the sole purpose of finding a book to rent and read! I wasn’t going to be intimidated by the 2 week window (I’m a slow reader) because there is a such thing as renewing online (yay for the internet!).
As it turns out, my library card was so old that I’d been erased from the system.
But isn’t my old card so cute?!
No worries, I had a new “Where the Wild Things Are” themed card in no time!
Equally as cute new card.
You see, my local library has many branches which make it super convenient where ever you happen to find yourself around town. They even let you return your book to any branch – regardless of where you rented it. They’re thoughtful like that.
Well, I’m happy to report I’ve been putting some miles on my card and I have some great summer reading recommendations for you!
To start, I’m on a saucy-summer-stories kick. That being said, when I read the back of Stephanie Evanovich’s debut novel I knew it’d be enjoyable!
Big Girl Panties was a light love story with some juicy scenes for summer.
I hinted how lovely this book was in a previous post about pillows – which by the way, you should totally sew up a pillow to go with these great reading recommendations 😉
As soon as I finished it, I started scouting out her next book which just so happened to release the Tuesday after I finished Big Girl Panties. I ran to my local library that Thursday in search of the book so I’d have it in time for my trip to Baltimore (hello airport sitting…and plane sitting..).
Well dear Stephanie didn’t let me down!
The Sweet Spot was just as delightful!
Although The Sweet Spot is a prequel to Big Girl Panties, you could read these books in any order and still enjoy them. There are connections made between the two stories, but they’re independent so you can easily follow without obligation of reading the other (though I do recommend it!).
These stories were so good, I didn’t even have to renew online! I finished each within the allotted two weeks and happily returned them on time.
These are just two of the saucier books I read this summer. I’m happy to report, I’m still on my “reading kick” so I’ll be sharing more book recommendations soon.

What did you read this summer? I’m looking for recommendations to get me through the winter 🙂
