This is yet another fun bookish meme I saw hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog 🙂
Goodreads Monday/TBR Monday invites you to post about what books are on your Goodreads “to read” lists or TBR lists, the progress you have made on your current books and reading challenges, and any other bookish news!

This first book I have chosen is ‘Part of Your World’ by Karen Witemeyer!
Synopsis
She saved him from the sea. He awakened her heart. Now a villainous scheme threatens to destroy them both.
Seawater runs through Muriel Quinn’s veins—a fact that has long concerned her father, who longs for his youngest daughter to abandon the waves and embrace the respectable life expected of a grown woman. Yet even when banished from her beloved sea, Muriel feels its pull upon her soul. Drawn to the shore, she witnesses a boating accident and dives in to save a man from drowning. As she brings him back from the brink of death, a dream stirs to life in her heart.
Despite his family’s wealth and social standing, Zane Erickson pursues a career in architecture, having no interest in cementing a match with any of the bridal candidates his mother foists upon him. Until a mysterious beauty saves his life and vanishes before he can learn her name. Determined to find her, he is stunned when the matchmaker his mother hired arrives with the very woman who has haunted his dreams. But he soon learns there are darker forces than romance at work in this meeting.
Entangled in a blackmail scheme that grows more deceitful and dangerous by the day, Zane and Muriel must fight not only for their love, but for the lives of those they hold dear.

Why This Book?
This book is on my TBR due to it being the sequel in the ‘Once Upon a Time in Texas’ series. I have actually read and reviewed the first book ‘To Love a Beast‘ which is a retelling of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ which is one of my favorite Disney movies.
‘Part of Your World’ is clearly a retelling of ‘The Little Mermaid’ of which I have not seen in years, so I am excited to get reacquainted with this story! This book releases this year on June 16th, so I am eagerly awaiting that day!
Updates
I am currently reading ‘An Improper Proposal’ by Audra Wells. I am currently 60% of the way through. This is the fourth book in the ‘Improper Agreements’ series. I will link my reviews for the first three books down below:
