Anything for You
RECOMMENDED: Anything for You by Kristan Higgins is $1.99 at Amazon! Since no one is price-matching, the sale could be on its way out. This is book five in the Blue Heron series and has a 4-star rating on Goodreads. Readers seemed to be split regarding the heroine. Some liked her and her aversion to marriage when she doesn’t feel ready. However, others preferred the hero and how he handled their relationship. Have you read this one?
Before you get down on bended knee…
…you should be pretty darn sure the answer will be yes. For ten years, Connor O’Rourke has been waiting for Jessica Dunn to take their on-again, off-again relationship public, and he thinks the time has come. His restaurant is thriving, she’s got her dream job at Blue Heron Vineyard—it’s the perfect time to get married.
When he pops the question, however, her answer is a fond but firm no. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Jess has her hands full with her younger brother, who’s now living with her full-time, and a great career after years of waitressing. What she and Connor have is perfect: friends with an excellent benefits package. Besides, with her difficult past (and reputation), she’s positive married life isn’t for her.
But this time, Connor says it’s all or nothing. If she doesn’t want to marry him, he’ll find someone who does. Easier said than done, given that he’s never loved anyone but her. And maybe Jessica isn’t quite as sure as she thinks…

The Lightning Thief
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is $1.99! This is also a Kindle Daily Deal, which features a ton of his books if you or a young reader in your family wants to stock up. Readers into mythology really enjoyed this book, but some had difficulties actually liking Percy, the main character.
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can’t seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy’s mom finds out, she knows it’s time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he’ll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends — one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena — Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

Roulette
Roulette by Megan Mulry is $2.99! This has been on my TBR list for a while and features an enemies-to-lovers plot, given that the hero is the corporate rival to the heroine’s father. Some readers wanted more romance in the novel, but others really loved the hero. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads and has been recommended by authors like Jessica Lemmon and Molly O’Keefe.
Megan Mulry, USA Today bestselling author and recipient of NPR’s Best Book of 2012 (A Royal Pain), takes readers on a sexy, stylish journey of high-stakes passion in her latest book.
Miki Durand has always dodged the limelight. As the illegitimate daughter of a French movie star and a Russian billionaire, she craves a normal life—and it’s almost within reach. She’s up for a tenure-track position and has a perfect-on-paper boyfriend. What more could a woman want?
But when an unforeseen tragedy knocks her off cruise control, Miki finds herself leaving sunny LA for cosmopolitan St. Petersburg. With the fate of her father’s international business in her hands, she comes face-to-face with the ultimate temptation: corporate rival Jérôme Michel de Villiers. He’s everything she never thought she wanted, and their sizzling attraction soon sparks into an all-consuming flame.
Notoriously risk-averse, Miki knows it would be a gamble to fall for the sexy French playboy. But for the first time in her life, she’s ready to take a chance and let the chips fall where they may.

Nocturne for a Widow
Nocturne for a Widow by Amanda DeWees is 99c! This is a book right up the Bitchery’s alley. It’s a historical mystery with gothic and romantic elements. Plus, it has a gorgeous cover! A few readers were hesitant about continuing the story, as they found the characters’ actions to put them off, but many were glad they continued. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.
Vivacious actress Sybil Ingram looks forward to a life of security when she leaves the theater to marry a wealthy American. But when he dies on their wedding night, she finds herself a penniless widow. Her only legacy is Brooke House, a Gothic revival manor in the wilds of the Hudson River Valley. However, the eerie mansion comes with two tenants. One is a hostile ghost. The second, and far worse, is former violinist Roderick Brooke–the most insolent, dangerous, maddeningly gorgeous man she’s ever met.
As Sybil and Roderick engage in a battle of wills–and wits–she finds herself increasingly drawn to him despite her growing suspicion that there is a connection between him and the spirit that haunts Brooke House. But soon an even greater threat arises: the mysterious queen of local society, Mrs. Lavinia Dove. For reasons that Sybil can’t imagine, Mrs. Dove is determined to have Brooke House and Roderick for herself… if necessary, by deadly means.

Nocturne for a Widow doesn’t sound like “my” kind of book, but ooh, that cover…
Just wanna say I devoured the Percy Jackson Series and started the one about the Egyptian gods. Best of all, I could read them free from the public library.
Nocturne for a Widow: Can’t wait to read it.
I’m with @Gloriamarie-I LOVED the Percy Jackson series. I’ve read the first in the new series with the Norse gods, Magnus Chase-The Sword of Summer, and thought that was great. Just started the second one, Hammer of Thor. As a kid, I read every book about Greek Mythology in my both my school and public library, so Percy Jackson hits a real sweet spot for me. I love his character, now I am kind of interested to read why people have a hard time liking him.
Riordan is a Texan, who has just refused an offer from the Texas legislature of being honored by them, because they mean to pass an anti-transperson bathroom bill, a la North Carolina, called – wait for it – the Protecting Women’s Privacy bill. I haven’t read any Riordan, but fellow Texan Sarah Bird, who has refused the same offer until the Lege “stops playing politics with women’s bodies”, is an old favorite. Has anybody in the Bitchery read her Alamo House, or The Boyfriend School?
@Maureen, I can see I have some catching up to do. I did not know about the Norse gods. I used to get his newsletter. I wonder what happened to it?
@Msb , I am really happy to read this about Riordan. I have not heard of Sarah Bird although The Boyfriend School does sound like a familiar title.
@msb-I’ve read Sarah Bird’s novels but quite a few years ago. The Boyfriend School was really good. She has a wonderful voice. I’m really proud of Riordan for refusing the honor from Texas. In his second Magnus Chase novel, which granted I just started-one of the main characters (and possibly love interest) seems to be a transgender, gender fluid character. I just started the book, but that is the impression I am getting.
I think this is amazing, because for a mainstream author to go in this direction? I feel it must have been a real chance. I will admit I’m biased, I live in Anchorage, Alaska, where very few authors ever venture to-and he makes it a point to visit us up here. I saw him at Barnes and Noble, when he was signing one of his books, he talked a bit first, and mentioned his new project, the Norse gods. My daughter and I squealed like total fangirls!
We stayed for quite a while, watching him sign books, he was so genuine and interested in each person who went to the table. Child or adult, he gave them his full attention-and I actually have some great pictures of him with laughing, head thrown back-I loved him. He is an author I can totally support, in every single way.
I like the Percy Jackson books, but I think there needed to be fewer of them in favour of fleshing out the rest. A lot of the ways the mythology is incorporated is neat, but it’s VERY rushed, and I would have preferred each book get some time to breathe instead of jumping from thing-to-thing-to-thing.
I really enjoyed Anything for You. Perhaps my favourite of the series.
@Maureen, I’m in Anchorage too, and also saw Riordan when he came up here. My daughter and I saw him at West High. His publicist and agent were hilarious, providing pre-show entertainment in costume. It was a real pleasure to hear him speak and take questions from the audience. Being of Norwegian heritage, we can’t wait for his take on the Norse pantheon.
