April 1 – No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel
If you’re craving a celebrity-meets-athlete romance with scandal, swoon, and serious tension, No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel needs to be on your TBR. Pop superstar Ella Simone is in the middle of a messy divorce from her unfaithful music producer husband—and the ironclad prenup has her walking a fine line to protect her career. She’s under strict orders to avoid headlines, but after an award show wardrobe disaster leads to a very public rescue by Miles Westbrook, MLB’s most eligible (and charming) player, the tabloids can’t get enough.

As the city teeters on the edge of war, Icarus finds himself captured by none other than Poseidon, a towering, quiet force who’s supposed to be his enemy. But being a prisoner isn’t so simple when your captor has stormy eyes, a gentle touch, and starts looking at you like you’re anything but a pawn. Poseidon knows he’s supposed to guard Icarus, not get attached—but the more time they spend together, the more the lines between loyalty, desire, and truth begin to blur. As battle looms and alliances fracture, Poseidon must decide if he’ll protect the realm… or follow his heart into the fire. If you love grumpy/bratty energy, forbidden tension, and emotionally charged slow burns, this myth-inspired romance is a must-read.
