  • Three Weeks With Lady X

    Three Weeks With Lady X by Eloisa James

    RECOMMENDED: Three Weeks with Lady X by Eloisa James is $1.99! This is the first book in the Desperate Duchesses by the Numbers series. Elyse reviewed this almost a year ago and awarded it an A:

    I really, really didn’t want this book to end. It was worth reading till two a.m., worth being exhausted the next day, worth all the feels it made me have, and it’s going straight to the top of my favorites list.

    Having made a fortune, Thorn Dautry, the powerful bastard son of a duke, decides that he needs a wife. But to marry a lady, Thorn must acquire a gleaming, civilized façade, the specialty of Lady Xenobia India.

    Exquisite, head-strong, and independent, India vows to make Thorn marriageable in just three weeks.

    But neither Thorn nor India anticipate the forbidden passion that explodes between them.

    Thorn will stop at nothing to make India his. Failure is not an option.

    But there is only one thing that will make India his—the one thing Thorn can’t afford to lose…

    His fierce and lawless heart.

  • Secrets of a Summer Night

    Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas

    RECOMMENDED: Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99! This book has a four-star average and is the first in the Wallflowers quartet, one of the best series Kleypas has written. It focuses on four friends who for various reasons are very low on marriage prospects. The first book features Annabelle, who is trying to save her family by marrying a nobleman, and Simon who is in trade, and is among the most wealthy men in London.

    Sarah really liked this book because Annabelle and Simon both have to realize their own prejudices and snobbery (more on Annabelle’s side with that issue), and both deal with social expectations, too.

    Four young ladies enter London society with one common goal: they must use their feminine wit and wiles to find a husband.So a daring husband-hunting scheme is born.

    Annabelle Peyton, determined to save her family from disaster, decides to use her beauty and wit to tempt a suitable nobleman into making an offer of marriage. But Annabelle’s most intriguing—and persistent—admirer, wealthy, powerful Simon Hunt, has made it clear that while he will introduce her to irresistible pleasure he will not offer marriage. Annabelle is determined to resist his unthinkable proposition . . . but it is impossible in the face of such skillful seduction.

    Her friends, looking to help, conspire to entice a more suitable gentleman to offer for Annabelle, for only then will she be safe from Simon—and her own longings. But on one summer night, Annabelle succumbs to Simon’s passionate embrace and tempting kisses . . . and she discovers that love is the most dangerous game of all.

  • Married to the Viscount

    Married to the Viscount by Sabrina Jeffries

    Married to the Viscount by Sabrina Jeffries is $1.99! This is the fifth book in the Swansea Spinsters historical romance series. There also seems to be a marriage of convenience plot in the thick of things. Some readers weren’t too found of the hero (I believe the term “douche” has been bandied about), but other readers mentioned how they enjoyed the couple’s growth together. It has a 3.9-star rating on GoodReads.

    Abigail Mercer was breathless with anticipation at being reunited with Spencer Law, whom she met once and later married by proxy. But now the dashing Viscount Ravenswood denies all knowledge of their union.

    Far too many witnesses have made it impossible for the secretive Spencer to reject his “bride” without causing a scandal. So he has proposed a marriage in-name-only until they can locate his mysteriously absent younger brother — who is responsible for everything — and untangle this messy affair.

    Abigail is incensed, irate…and irresistibly attracted to this handsome, infuriating man who hides his smoldering passion behind a proper exterior. So the lady will agree to his terms on one condition: Spencer must seal their bargain with a kiss.

    But he finds that one deep, lingering, unforgettable kiss isn’t nearly enough. And keeping his hands off his pretty wife is going to be much harder than he thought.

  • The Wicked Wallflower

    The Wicked Wallflower by Maya Rodale

    The Wicked Wallflower by Maya Rodale is $1.99 at a couple vendors at $2.10 at Google:Play. This is a historical romance that’s part of Rodale’s “Bad Boys & Wallflowers” series. The hero and heroine have a pretend engagement, and you know those always work out the way the characters intend.  Elyse reviewed the book and wound up giving it a C-:

    I liked how Blake and Emma finally come together in the end, but getting there was a little rocky. The Wicked Wallflower wasn’t a bad book by any means, but with so many Regencies out there, it failed to stand out from the rest of the pack.

     

    Lady Emma Avery has accidentally announced her engagement—to the most eligible man in England. As soon as it’s discovered that Emma has never actually met the infamously attractive Duke of Ashbrooke, she’ll no longer be a wallflower; she’ll be a laughingstock. And then Ashbrooke does something Emma never expected. He plays along with her charade.

    A temporary betrothal to the irreproachable Lady Avery could be just the thing to repair Ashbrooke’s tattered reputation. Seducing her is simply a bonus. And then Emma does what he never expected: she refuses his advances. It’s unprecedented. Inconceivable. Quite damnably alluring.

    London’s Least Likely to Misbehave has aroused the curiosity—among other things—of London’s most notorious rogue. Now nothing will suffice but to uncover Emma’s wanton side and prove there’s nothing so satisfying as two perfect strangers…being perfectly scandalous together.

  • What If?

    What If? by Randall Munroe

    What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe is the Audible daily deal today at $2.95. This unabridged audiobook runs for 6 and a half hours, give or take, and is narrated by Wil Wheaton. Munroe is the creator of XKCD.com. It has a 4.1-star average, and reviewers of the audiobook say that it’s great in small doses, too, so it’s a very good choice for scientifically-curious commuters who listen in their cars or on mass transit.

    From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.

    Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe’s iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following.

    Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?

    In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.

    The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? will be required reading for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

    A Bollywood Affair is also on sale for $2.99

    Instantly clicked on the buy button because of your glowing reviews! So excited to start of my week reading this book (^_^)

  2. Dot says:

    I regret to inform you that the Kleypas book is not on sale for Canadian Kobo subscribers :(.

  3. What If is fantastic. I bought it for my brother for Christmas, and he spent the entire holiday reading it out loud and laughing until he cried.

    Regarding Secrets of a Summer Night, I liked the book overall, but I found Simon’s heavy-handedness and occasional controlling behavior to verge on the alphahole. He wasn’t terrible, and I didn’t hate him, but he bumped against my bullshit behavior boundary.

  4. Frida says:

    @Mika This is very relevant information, thanks! FINALLY.

  5. Emmabirbs says:

    Secrets is just the best. So far I’ve read it 4 times. Just love the whole series.

  10. Lina says:

    Bought A Bollywood Affair as it is now at a price I can afford. It was worth the hype!! It totally lived up to the reviews. Thanks Bitchery for the reviews and Mika for the alert

  11. mel burns says:

    The Rake is a re-release of the The Rake and the Reformer….it’s right up there with The Last Scoundrel as best historical romance ever….IMHO.

  12. Judith B says:

    @ Mika, thank you! It’s available at the reduced price in New Zealand, too, which is unusual.

  13. Michelle says:

  14. DonnaMarie says:

    What If? is one of the best reads I had last year. It is amazing how much Monroe’s simple stick figures are able to convey. There’s a panel where he looks up star mouthed moles that is absolutely hysterically evocative. I had a similar reaction. Then there’s those amazing answers. Who knew the periodic table could be bring on the apocalypse. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

  15. SB Sarah says:

    @DonnaMarie: I am so curious about this book – thank you for the recommendation!

  16. Lora says:

    I was intrigued by the Lady X review but when I downloaded the sample I was only ‘meh’ about it. Is it worth sticking with it? I’m a big fan of Courtney Milan but I’ve never read James. Opinions? I’m such a wimp on trying new authors. I read Lucien’s Fall last month and had never read a Barbara Samuel and my thoughts were that she is an amazingly skilled writer and I didn’t give two craps about that guy in the book who was supposed to be soo swoon worthy. So, I’m picky is the short version here. And a whiner, let’s be real.

  17. Natalie says:

    I love you! I’m heading out on a spring break road trip with my two teenage children next week, and What If? sounds like it could not be more perfect. Thank you!!

  18. Francesca says:

    I didn’t care all that much for Three Weeks with Lady X when I read it last year and now I realize that I actively dislike it, but I loved The Rake and the Reformer and have already clicked on The Rake.

  19. cleo says:

    @Lora – I don’t think 3 Weeks with Lady X is the best James to start with. Especially if the sample was meh for you. I’m a James fan (or I was – we’re in the middle of a mostly amicable break up) and I liked the first half of Lady X ok and then it took a sharp turn into OHN – WTF?! land (IMO). And like Francesca, I actively disliked it.

    I think there is overlap between Kleypas and James – I think James’ plots tend to be more intricate and full of wtf than Kleypas.

    I’ve been trying to think of a good entry point to recommend for James – probably the Essex Sisters series.

  20. cleo says:

    @cleo – or James’ Fairy Tale series. The first couple are good (skip the princess and the pea one though).
