  • A Curious Beginning

    A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn

    RECOMMENDEDA Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn is $2.99! This is a historical mystery and Sarah really enjoyed it. She also immediately read the second one after finishing the first. Here’s what she said:

    I read A Curious Beginning with an I-cannot-put-this-down enthusiasm and devoured it very quickly. I relished both the characters and the mystery. The Veronica Speedwell series is excellent and intelligent fun, and while the second isn’t quite as satisfying as the first, I heartily recommend them both.

    In her thrilling new series, the New York Times bestselling author of the Lady Julia Grey mysteries, returns once more to Victorian England…and introduces intrepid adventuress Veronica Speedwell.

    London, 1887. As the city prepares to celebrate Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee, Veronica Speedwell is marking a milestone of her own. After burying her spinster aunt, the orphaned Veronica is free to resume her world travels in pursuit of scientific inquiry—and the occasional romantic dalliance. As familiar with hunting butterflies as she is fending off admirers, Veronica wields her butterfly net and a sharpened hatpin with equal aplomb, and with her last connection to England now gone, she intends to embark upon the journey of a lifetime.

    But fate has other plans, as Veronica discovers when she thwarts her own abduction with the help of an enigmatic German baron with ties to her mysterious past. Promising to reveal in time what he knows of the plot against her, the baron offers her temporary sanctuary in the care of his friend Stoker—a reclusive natural historian as intriguing as he is bad-tempered. But before the baron can deliver on his tantalizing vow to reveal the secrets he has concealed for decades, he is found murdered. Suddenly Veronica and Stoker are forced to go on the run from an elusive assailant, wary partners in search of the villainous truth.

  • Duke of Darkness

    Duke of Darkness by Anabelle Bryant

    Duke of Darkness by Anabelle Bryant is $2.99! This is the second book in the Three Regency Rogues series and the third book is also on sale! This is a romance between a man and his ward, which I know is catnip for some of you. However, some readers felt the book lacked a tremendous amount of historical accuracy.

    London, 1817

    The Duke of Wharncliffe, Devlin Ravensdale, is devastated when he receives a missive announcing the death of his only relative, Aunt Min. Consumed with guilt, he regrets not having visited her in years, despite that he has chosen a reclusive lifestyle to hide his secretive past. Saddened by the loss, he dutifully honors his aunt’s last wish, to take responsibility of a young ward, Alex, and arrange a suitable marriage.

    Reluctant, yet determined, Devlin sets off to collect his young charge, only to discover the he is a she, and Alexandra is stunningly beautiful…posing an unexpected temptation.

    Tasked with finding an eligible bachelor, Devlin is forced back into society, a world where he has something of a dark reputation. Worse yet, it seems the beguiling beauty has a secret of her own to hide. Still, finding a husband for Alexandra shouldn’t prove difficult as long as he’s able to let her go.

  • The Wild Marquis

    The Wild Marquis by Miranda Neville

    The Wild Marquis by Miranda Neville is $1.99! This historical romance is the first book in The Burgundy Club series and was talked about highly by author Sarina Bowen in a previous Whatcha Reading. Readers love the setting of “book collecting” and found the auctions instead of grand balls a nice change of pace. It has a 3.7+ avg on Goodreads. A couple other books in the series are also on sale!

    The Marquis of Chase is not a reputable man.

    He is notorious for his wretched morals and is never received in respectable houses. The ladies of the ton would never allow him in their drawing rooms . . . though they were more than willing to welcome him into their bedchambers. Ejected from his father’s house at the age of sixteen, he now lives a life of wanton pleasure. So what could the Marquis of Chase possibly want with Juliana Merton, a lovely, perfectly upstanding shopkeeper with a mysterious past?

    A moment’s indiscretion?

    A night’s passion?

    Or a lifetime of love?

    Even the wildest rakes have their weaknesses . . .

  • Seduced at Sunset

    Seduced at Sunset by Julianne MacLean

    Seduced at Sunset by Julianne MacLean is 99c at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! This is the sixth book in the Pembroke Palace series, but it can be read as a standalone. Both the hero and heroine have secret lives, which readers liked. However, some warn that while it can be read on its own, it’s the last book in the series and does check in with couples from previous books.

    USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean brings the popular Pembroke Palace Series to a passionate, satisfying conclusion…

    Sometimes the matchmaker finds a love of her own…

    Lady Charlotte Sinclair has long given up her dreams of happily ever after. Years ago, a tragic accident claimed the life of her beloved fiancé, but somehow she found the strength to go on—as an independent woman with a secret double life that has earned her millions. Lately, however, she has begun to yearn for something more…

    While setting out to play matchmaker for her mother, Lady Charlotte meets a rugged, handsome stranger who saves her from a thief in the street, but her heroic rescuer soon turns out to be more mysterious—and dangerously captivating—than any man she has ever known. Swept away by passion into a sizzling summer affair with a man who leads a double life of his own, she vows to live only for pleasure with no promises of tomorrow. But soon she must accept that one final night of ecstasy with an irresistible lover is never going to be enough…

    “Book auctions? That sounds great!”

    So great I bought it two years ago, apparently. *sigh*

    Neville’s The Importance of Being Wicked (in which the heroine is the wicked one! but which I recall being low on wickedness and actually rather sweet) is also on sale for $2.99.

  2. Another Anne says:

    The third book in Miranda Neville’s Burgundy series is also on sale: The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton. It seems to me that I read the 3rd one first, because it was discussed on a podcast and either Sarah or a guest (maybe the author) mentioned that the quotes from a book about sex that are found throughout the book are actually from a real book.

    Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe, by Jenny Colgan is also on sale. This is a good deal because her books are usually 9.99 or more — plus it has yummy descriptions of cupcakes and recipes! I haven’t made them, but love to read about them.

  3. Roo says:

    Book 3 of J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Lover Awakened is $1.99 on Amazon right now.

  4. KateB says:

    “Tipping the Velvet” by Sarah Waters is $1.99 today!

  5. Cristie says:

    Criss Cross by Jordan Castillo Price is 99¢

  6. DonnaMarie says:

    Loved the first Veronica Speedwell and have the second on the night stand for tonight.

  7. Karin says:

    I seriously loved “The Wild Marquis”, it’s got a beta hero, a heroine who runs her own business, and lots of details about rare, collectible books, Sotheby book auctions back in the day, and Shakespeare. And a mystery which involves deciphering coded messages. In fact go ahead and read ALL the Burgundy Club books! They are so much fun, you can’t go wrong. Book 2, “The Dangerous Viscount” has a virgin hero, book 3, “The Amorous Adventures of Celia Seaton” has a hero who gets amnesia, and Book 4 has a heroine with serious political ambitions and a dyslexic hero.
    I enjoyed the Pembroke Palace series too, although the underlying plot premise for the entire series was kind of ridiculous if you let yourself think about it.

  8. carolinareader says:

    I will snatch-up this Veronica Speedwell book. I just started the Lady Julia Grey series and I am enjoying it. Some of that series seems to be on sale too.

  9. SusanE says:

    Duke of Darkness is now on sale at B&N at the same price. I knew if I waited a day it would pay off! Now I just have to wait for your link …

  10. Amanda says:

    @SusanE: Updated! And also, thank you so much for being so mindful about using out affiliate links. We really appreciate it!
