  • When the Marquess Met His Match

    When the Marquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke

    When the Marquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke is $2.99! This is the first book in the An American Heiress in London series, which features – you guessed it – an American heiress in London. A few reviews on Goodreads mentioned that the chemistry between the characters didn’t seem believable, while others loved the vulnerability of the hero and heroine.

    What happens when a carefree, disreputable, stone-broke bachelor is forced to find a wife in a hurry? He hires a matchmaker, of course. What happens when the matchmaker doesn’t want to help him? Well, that’s when the fun begins…

    Nicholas Stirling, Marquess of Trubridge, loves his life just as it is: dissolute, scandalous, and deuced good fun. His father, the Duke of Landsdowne is not amused, and when he cuts off Nicholas’ trust fund, the fun-loving marquess is forced to find an alternate source of income—in other words, he has to marry an heiress.

    Every new-money American heiress knows Lady Belinda Featherstone is the key to social acceptance. Once a new-money nobody herself, Belinda discovered first-hand how heartbreaking the game of love and matrimony could be after a reprobate British earl married her for her money. Now a respectable widow, Belinda has become England’s most successful matchmaker, guiding young American heiresses through the hazards of the London season and helping them to find husbands worthy of them. To her mind, the Marquess of Trubridge is nothing but a fortune-hunting scoundrel and she has no intention of allowing him to charm his way into any American girl’s heart, including her own.

  • The Little Stranger

    The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

    The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters is $1.99! This is a Gothic historical mystery/thriller and Elyse has mentioned it being on her TBR pile. A film adaptation came out this year, though I’m not sure of a U.S. release. Readers says this has a slow, atmospheric build to it, so it requires a bit of patience while reading.

    One postwar summer in his home of rural Warwickshire, Dr. Faraday, the son of a maid who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country physician, is called to a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the Georgian house, once impressive and handsome, is now in decline, its masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. Its owners—mother, son, and daughter—are struggling to keep pace with a changing society, as well as with conflicts of their own. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more sinister than a dying way of life? Little does Dr. Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become intimately entwined with his.

  • A Lady in the Smoke

    A Lady in the Smoke by Karen Odden

    A Lady in the Smoke by Karen Odden is $1.99! This is billed as Victorian mystery and I believe it’s Odden’s debut novel. Readers say it has an awesome blend of everything: mystery, drama, romance. However, some felt the relationships between characters eclipsed the mystery. It has a 3.9-star average on Goodreads.

    Karen Odden’s enthralling debut historical mystery transports readers to Victorian England, where a terrifying railway disaster plunges a headstrong young noblewoman into a conspiracy that reaches to the highest corridors of power.

    Following a humiliating fourth Season in London, Lady Elizabeth Fraser is on her way back to her ancestral country estate when her train careens off the rails and bursts into flames. Though she is injured, she manages to drag herself and her unconscious mother out of the wreckage, and amid the chaos that ensues, a brilliant young railway surgeon saves her mother’s life. Elizabeth feels an immediate connection with Paul Wilcox—though society would never deem a medical man eligible for the daughter of an earl.

    After Paul reveals that the train wreck was no accident, and the inspector who tried to prevent it dies under mysterious circumstances, Elizabeth undertakes a dangerous investigation of her own that leads back to her family’s buried secrets. The more she learns, the more she must risk. Not only are her dowry and her reputation at stake; Paul’s very life hangs in the balance when he is arrested for manslaughter. As the trial draws near, and Parliament prepares for a vote that will change the course of the nation, Elizabeth uncovers a conspiracy that has been years in the making. But time is running out for her to see justice done.

  • Holiday Pleasures Bundle

    Holiday Pleasures Bundle by Theresa Romain

    The Holiday Pleasures Bundle by Theresa Romain is $2.99! This bundle features all four books in the Holiday Pleasures historical romance series. Redheadedgirl reviewed Season for Scandal (book 3) and gave it an A+:

    As someone who also has difficulty relationshipping, I really, really liked this.  There are a lot of well-drawn side characters, and an entertainingly evil bad guy, and (quelle surprise) actual learning.  I wasn’t even 1/4 done before I was emailing Sarah going “WE NEED EVERYONE TO READ THIS” because I was getting super emotional over everybody and everything.  Read the book!  You’ll be happy you did.

    In true Regency style, four spirited women find their way to their heart’s deepest desires amidst the glitter and whirl of the Christmas season . . .
     
    First there is Julia Herington, impetuous—and irresistible. Brilliant but shy, Louisa Oliver seems destined for spinsterhood until she finds herself the subject of a scandalous bet—and turns it to romantic advantage. And then there is Jane Tindall, a talent for deception her greatest treasure. Her daring taste for gambling draws her into a marriage of convenience that just might lead to love. Lady Audrina Bradleigh is expected to lead fashion and behave with propriety. But as she discovers on the wintry roads of Yorkshire, she is heedless of society’s proper rules when it comes to her heart’s desires. And only one season can twist all their strands of fate into a perfect gift to last a lifetime . . .

    Jenn Stark’s Immortal Vegas box set (the first 3 books in a series of 11: Getting Wilde, Wilde Card, and Born to Be Wilde) is currently free. Not an endorsement because I did not feel positively about the one I read, but it’s highly rated by many others (4 stars on Amazon, 3.7 on Goodreads), so it might be worth your while to risk $0.

  2. Laurel says:

    Nancy Lee Badger’s Highland Games Through Time series are available on Amazon as a free ebook box set.

  3. Sukari says:

    @Laurel
    I read that as Nancy Lee’s Badger’s Highland Games and pictured badgers in kilts tossing cabers.

  4. Kim says:

    “Season for Scandal” was my first read by Theresa Romain. It depressed the hell out of me, and almost turned me off from her books — which would have been a shame, because I’ve LOVED her other works that I’ve read since then! Just goes to show how different romances can inspire wildly different, and totally personal, reactions from readers.

    Anyway, may have to snap up that bundle! 🙂

    Michelle Diener is doing “24 days of holiday giveaways” on her website, under News and Updates. She writes writes historical fiction, science fiction and fantasy. She’s up to day 10 and has been giving away ebboks. I’ve enjoyed the scifi,especially.

  6. Laurel says:

    @Sukari That is pretty funny, but it is just Scottish Highlander time travel. Maybe if she co-wrote something with Shelly Laurenston and her Honey Badgers. 🙂

  7. ms bookjunkie says:

    If any Audible members haven’t already used up their Audible Originals credits, use one on Dan Wells’ ZERO G. It’s just the thing to listen on a family road trip, a gift wrapping session, or when polishing the good silverware—posh, much? 😉 It’s a fun story with superior narration. And it made me feel happy; I kept having to wipe the stupid grin off my face. Have some comfort and joy in the form of this audio story.

  8. I feel a bit crass (a lot crass?) about mentioning my own books, but since I have zero control over the pricing and no forewarning of sales, all I can really do is let the Bitchery know … my paranormal Immortal Vikings are on sale. First to Burn is $1.49 and The Second Lie is a bank-busting 99 cents at Amazon. That’s somewhere around 400,000 words for $2.48. I have no idea when the sale will end — maybe tomorrow! — so I apologize in advance if they’re off sale.

    And I just bought the Theresa Romain! Thank you —

  9. SB Sarah says:

    @Anna: No worries at ALL about mentioning your books on sale – I know sometimes you don’t know when the discount happens!

  10. WS says:

    Oddly, I remember very little about A Lady in the Smoke (bought and read it two years ago) except that I found it disappointing. Probably this indicates I didn’t like the main character, as that’s the most likely dealbreaker for me.

    I like some of Teresa Romain’s other books better than this bundle, though I admit I do like the appearance of the duke near the end of the last of the four books. I’m not sure what it says that my favorite part of the four books is a minor character and not any of the main romantic pairings. Hmm.

  11. coffeespoons says:

    I read The Little Stranger a few years ago, and it was a can’t-put-it-down book for me. I recently revisited it as an audiobook, and highly recommend the audio version as well. The caveat is that if the current political climate has you trying to avoid fiction that depicts infuriating attitudes of male entitlement toward women’s time, emotions, bodies, etc., you might want to shelve this one for another time. The book is a smart critique of those attitudes and approaches them from an interesting angle, but that means being immersed in them for long stretches, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea just now.

    The movie is also quite good, though it makes explicit things that are slightly more ambiguous in the novel.

  12. Kathe says:

    I first tried to listen to Lady in The Smoke on audible and couldn’t seem to get into it, and then ended up buying the book for some reason. They both ended up in the dnf pile. I’m not sure what it was about the book that didn’t work for me either–usually it’s really obvious what I didn’t like
