  • Forever Your Earl

    Forever Your Earl by Eva Leigh

    RECOMMENDED: Forever Your Earl by Eva Leigh is $1.99! A Kindle Daily Deal, let’s hope this is matched elsewhere. This is the first book in The Wicked Quills of London series and Redheadedgirl gave it an A:

    Zoe Archer has been one of my favorite authors since that one time she basically saved my sanity (even if she was also the indirect cause of one of the worst reading experiences of my life). No matter what, I can always count on her for strong, determined heroines with all sorts of agency, and heroes that also were strong and worthy and respectful of the women that chose them. While I like the adventure romances of Zoe Archer very much, you can all imagine my grabby hands when she announced that she was going to write straight historicals under the name Eva Leigh.

    This is the first one of that series, and it was totallllly worth the wait.

    Eva Leigh’s irresistible new series introduces the Wicked Quills of London: a group of bold, brilliant female writers whose spirited allure is beyond seductive…

    Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades . . . What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake?

    Daniel has secrets, and if The Hawk’s Eye gets wind of them, a man’s life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.

    But when Eleanor learns the truth of his deception, Daniel will do anything to prove a romance between a commoner and an earl could really last forever.

  • Devil in Winter

    Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

    RECOMMENDED: Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is an often recommended historical romance and the couple in this book is getting a quasi-continuation in Devil in Spring (the hero is their son!). It’s also many readers’ favorites in the Wallflowers series, though mine is It Happened One Autumn. Feel free to gush about Kleypas in the comments!

    Easily the shyest Wallflower, Evangeline Jenner stands to become the wealthiest, once her inheritance comes due. Because she must first escape the clutches of her unscrupulous relatives, Evie has approached the rake Viscount St. Vincent with a most outrageous proposition: marriage!

    Sebastian’s reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden’s good name. Still, this bewitching chit appeared,unchaperoned, on his doorstep to offer her hand. Certainly an aristocrat with a fine eye for beauty could do far worse.

    But Evie’s proposal comes with a condition: no lovemaking after their wedding night. She will never become just another of the dashing libertine’s callously discarded broken hearts–which means Sebastian will simply have to work harder at his seductions…or perhaps surrender his own heart for the very first time in the name of true love.

  • Secrets of a Viscount

    Secrets of a Viscount by Rose Gordon

    Secrets of a Viscount by Rose Gordon is 99c at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! This is the first book in the Gentleman of Honor historical romance series. It also involved a hero marrying the wrong woman (the heroine) and I’m very curious as to how one makes that mistake. Readers loved the connection between the hero and heroine, but some found there was a lot going on plot-wise.

    One summer night, Sebastian Gentry, Lord Belgrave hauled the wrong young lady to Gretna Green. When her identity is exposed, the only obvious solution is to get an annulment. Only, just like his elopement plans, things didn’t go as planned and while she has reason to believe they are no longer married, he knows better. Wanting to make things right for her, he offers to help her find a husband…

    Isabelle Knight has just been given an unexpected fortune and is in the midst of doing what she never believed she’d have to do: spend a Season on the Marriage Mart. Finding no one who seems to catch her fancy–or even seems bearable to tolerate until death do them part–her entire world is sent spinning with the sudden appearance of none other than her former husband.

    Isabelle is in no position to refuse his offer to help her find a husband and reluctantly agrees, but what neither counts on is her future husband just might be the one she’s still secretly married to.

  • A Rose in the Storm

    A Rose in the Storm by Brenda Joyce

    A Rose in the Storm by Brenda Joyce is $2.99! This is a Scottish/medieval romance and according to Goodreads reviews, it’s very Old Skool-ish. The hero kidnaps the heroine, for example. While some readers thought Joyce did a great job getting the history right, other felt that there was really no relationship development. Have you read this one?

    WHEN RIVALRY BECOMES PASSION

    With warfare blazing through Scotland, the fate of the Comyn-MacDougall legacy depends on one woman. Recently orphaned, young Margaret Comyn must secure her clan’s safety through an arranged marriage. But when an enemy invasion puts her at the mercy of the notorious Wolf of Lochaber, her every loyalty-and secret want-will be challenged.

    AND A KINGDOM IS AT STAKE

    Legendary warrior Alexander ‘the Wolf’ MacDonald rides with Robert Bruce to seize the throne of Scotland. But when he takes the fiery Lady Margaret prisoner, she quickly becomes far more than a valuable hostage. For, the passion between them threatens to betray their families, their country…and their hearts.

    Ugh, the dress on that cover of Secrets of a Viscount is so wrong – it’s like a modern day prom dress! Makes me think the book itself will be a historical mess so not doing the author any favors. The Brenda Joyce cover is very Old Skool romance however!

  2. Kim S. says:

    It Happened One Autumn is my favorite, too!

    Looking forward to the Zoe Archer.

  3. Aubrey Wynne says:

    I haven’t read this one of Kleypas yet. Woohoo! And I still have 3 weeks of summer break left.

  4. I don’t know what my favourite Wallflower book is. So hard to decide.

  5. Cordy (not stuck in spam filter sub-type) says:

    I have such a soft spot for DEVIL IN WINTER. It isn’t incredibly perfect or anything – it’s quite frothy, and I think (from, uh, many re-readings) that the moment drops off precipitously at a certain point. But there’s a dynamic between the two characters that is just so enjoyable, and not seen so often in modern historical romances: he’s an actual rake who is very arrogant and self-centered and perhaps even a moderately bad person, she is shy and awkward and intimidated by him (rather than being a spy, a scientist, a balloon pilot, etc, with a brassy mouth and nerves of steel) but also determined to get what she wants within the constraints of her time. So she quite often feels both attracted to him and resentful or tense about him, and he’s so baffled by his attraction to her! IT IS GREAT. About once a year I haunt the “Readers also liked” section on Goodreads, but I never really find anything that pushes those same buttons for me. If anyone has any stealth recommendations, I am eager to hear them!

  6. Julia says:

    Does anyone know what Kleypas books have no babies or pregnancy in them? I love her writing, characters, but… Is it me? Am I the only one?

  7. Meg says:

    Julia: If you don’t want Babies Ever After endings, definitely go for the Eva Leigh book. It’s refreshingly baby-free.

  8. cleo says:

    @Julia – pretty sure Love in the Afternoon is baby and pregnancy free. And it’s my fave Kleypas. (TW for PTSD)

  9. MaryK says:

    The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold is listed in today’s deal newsletter. I really like this book. If you start losing interest while reading it, try the audiobook narrated by Lloyd James. His narration enhances the book, and is the single best audiobook performance I’ve ever heard.

  10. Julia says:

    Hi Meg! I’ve got the 2nd Eva Leigh book, really enjoyed the first one.
    Thanks Cleo! I’ll definitely check out Love in the Afternoon!
