  • How to Ruin a Duke

    How to Ruin a Duke by Grace Burrowes

    How to Ruin a Duke by Grace Burrowes and Theresa Romain is 99c! This is a duo of historical romance novellas that features artists of some sort (musicians and writers). The book, in total, is less than 300 pages, so it’s a decent candidate for a quick read!

    Grace Burrowes and Theresa Romain team up to set two Regency novellas against a backdrop of scandal, intrigue, and literary mischief inspired by the real-life spoof of Lord Byron published by Lady Caroline Lamb.

    Rhapsody for Two by Theresa Romain
    Rowena Fairweather, a builder of stringed instruments, is facing a difficult future. Simon Thorn is a musician fleeing his past. When a page from How to Ruin a Duke brings them together, will these two independent souls allow themselves to fall in love?

    When His Grace Falls by Grace Burrowes
    The very proper Duke of Emory, lampooned in How to Ruin A Duke, suspects that the author of his misfortune is Lady Edith Charbonneau. He sets out to ruin her before she can write a sequel, except… what if he’s wrong, and she’s not his enemy after all?

  • The Secret History History of Wonder Woman

    The Secret History History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore

    RECOMMENDED: The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore is $2.99! Carrie read this one and gave it an A:

    The Secret History of Wonder Woman is an absolutely fascinating non-fiction book about the man who created Wonder Woman and the many women who inspired him and who, in many cases, directly contributed to Wonder Woman in concept, story, and design.

    A riveting work of historical detection revealing that the origins of one of the world’s most iconic superheroes hides within it a fascinating family story—and a crucial history of twentieth-century feminism

    Wonder Woman, created in 1941, is the most popular female superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no superhero has lasted as long or commanded so vast and wildly passionate a following. Like every other superhero, Wonder Woman has a secret identity. Unlike every other superhero, she has also has a secret history.

    Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore has uncovered an astonishing trove of documents, including the never-before-seen private papers of William Moulton Marston, Wonder Woman’s creator. Beginning in his undergraduate years at Harvard, Marston was influenced by early suffragists and feminists, starting with Emmeline Pankhurst, who was banned from speaking on campus in 1911, when Marston was a freshman. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife, Sadie Elizabeth Holloway, brought into their home Olive Byrne, the niece of Margaret Sanger, one of the most influential feminists of the twentieth century. The Marston family story is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1930s, Marston and Byrne wrote a regular column for Family Circle celebrating conventional family life, even as they themselves pursued lives of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth—he invented the lie detector test—lived a life of secrets, only to spill them on the pages of Wonder Woman.

    The Secret History of Wonder Woman
    is a tour de force of intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Lepore argues, is the missing link in the history of the struggle for women’s rights—a chain of events that begins with the women’s suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later.

  • Most Ardently

    Most Ardently by Susan Mesler-Evans

    Most Ardently by Susan Mesler-Evans is 99c! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and has previously been mentioned on the site. It’s a F/F Pride and Prejudice retelling, which has a lot of catnip potential. However, some wished the execution were a bit better.

    Elisa Benitez is proud of who she is, from her bitingly sarcastic remarks, to her love of both pretty boys and pretty girls. If someone doesn’t like her, that’s their problem, and Elisa couldn’t care less. Particularly if that person is Darcy Fitzgerald, a snobby, socially awkward heiress with an attitude problem and more money than she knows what to do with.

    From the moment they meet, Elisa and Darcy are at each other’s throats — which is a bit unfortunate, since Darcy’s best friend is dating Elisa’s sister. It quickly becomes clear that fate intends to throw the two of them together, whether they like it or not. As hers and Darcy’s lives become more and more entwined, Elisa’s once-dull world quickly spirals into chaos in this story of pride, prejudice, and finding love with the people you least expect.

  • The Bastard

    The Bastard by Lisa Renee Jones

    The Bastard by Lisa Renee Jones is 99c! This is the first book in her Filthy trilogy and seems to be a mishmash of contemporary romance and romantic suspense. This book was originally titled Dirty Rich Bastard, but Jones decided the hero’s story needed to be expanded, so you may have already read this one.

    ERIC MITCHELL’S STORY
    I’m the bastard child, son to the mistress, my father’s backup heir to the Mitchell empire. He sent me to Harvard. I left and became a Navy SEAL, but I’m back now, and I finished school on my own dime. I’m now the right hand man to Grayson Bennett, the billionaire who runs the Bennett Empire. I’m now a few months from being a billionaire myself. I don’t need my father’s company or his love. My “brother” can have it. I will never go back there. I will never be the mistake my father made, the way he was the mistake my mother made.

    And then she walks in the door, the princess I’d once wanted more than I’d wanted my father’s love. She wants me to come back. She says my father needs to be saved. I don’t want to save my father but I do want her. Deeply. Passionately. More than I want anything else.

    But she’s The Princess and I’m The Bastard. We don’t fit. We don’t belong together and yet she says he needs me, that she needs me. We’re like sugar and spice, we don’t mix, but I really crave a taste. Just one. What harm can just one taste do?

    Most Ardently was one of my favorite books of the year! At $.99 it’s an absolute steal if you like YA.

    Also the Secret History of Wonder Woman is perfect.

  2. Katie C. says:

    Ummmm, on the description for the last book, it says the hero and heroine are like sugar and spice – they don’t mix. But I think spice cake, gingerbread, snickerdoodles just to name a few prove that sugar and spice mix really well. A strange choice…
