  • Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy

    Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy by Karen Abbott

    RECOMMENDED: Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy by Karen Abbott is $1.99! This nonfiction book tells the history of four kickass women during the Civil War. Carrie reviewed the book and gave it an impressive A+:

    The book is interesting and exciting and paints incredible pictures of very different women who, love them or hate them, lived unusual lives of great political and personal passion and daring.

    Karen Abbott illuminates one of the most fascinating yet little known aspects of the Civil War: the stories of four courageous women—a socialite, a farmgirl, an abolitionist, and a widow—who were spies.

    After shooting a Union soldier in her front hall with a pocket pistol, Belle Boyd became a courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her charms to seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. The beautiful widow, Rose O’Neale Greenhow, engaged in affairs with powerful Northern politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy, and used her young daughter to send information to Southern generals. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring, right under the noses of suspicious rebel detectives.

    Using a wealth of primary source material and interviews with the spies’ descendants, Abbott seamlessly weaves the adventures of these four heroines throughout the tumultuous years of the war. With a cast of real-life characters including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws the reader into the war as these daring women lived it.

  • Flirting with Fire

    Flirting with Fire by Kate Meader

    Flirting with Fire by Kate Meader is $2.99! This is a contemporary romance and was mentioned in a podcast episode with The Ripped Bodice owners, Bea and Leah. Readers loved the heroine, but found the pace surprisingly slow. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

    The first installment in Hot in Chicago, a brand-new, sizzling series from Kate Meader that follows a group of firefighting foster siblings and their blazing hot love interests!

    Savvy PR guru Kinsey Taylor has always defined herself by her career, not her gender. That is, until she moved from San Francisco to Chicago to be with her fiancé who thought she wasn’t taking her “job” of supporting him in his high-powered career seriously enough—and promptly dumped her for a more supportive and “feminine” nurse. Now, as the new assistant press secretary to Chicago’s dynamic mayor, she’s determined to keep her eye on the prize: no time to feel inferior because she’s a strong, kick-ass woman, and certainly no time for men.

    But that all changes when she meets Luke Almeida, a firefighter as searingly sexy as he is quick-tempered. He’s also the second oldest of the Firefightin’ Dempseys, a family of foster siblings who have committed their lives to the service—if Luke’s antics don’t get him fired first. When Luke goes one step too far and gets into a bar brawl with the Chicago Police Department, Kinsey marches into Luke’s firehouse and lays down the law on orders from the mayor. But at Engine Co. 6, Luke Almeida is the law. And he’s not about to let Kinsey make the rules.

  • Bound by Your Touch

    Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran

    Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran is $1.99! This is a standalone historical romance and I know many of you enjoy Duran’s books. Some readers mention that this is a surprisingly emotional romance and really felt for the hero. However, others felt like there was way too much going on with the heroine. If you’ve read this one, what do you think?

    Silver-tongued Viscount Sanburne is London’s favorite scapegrace. Alas, Lydia Boyce has no interest in being charmed. When his latest escapade exposes a plot to ruin her family, she vows to handle it herself, as she always has done. Certainly she requires no help from a too-handsome dilettante whose main achievement is being scandalous. But Sanburne’s golden charisma masks a sharper mind and darker history than she realizes. He shocks Lydia by breaking past her prim facade to the woman beneath…and the hidden fire no man has ever recognized. But as she follows him into a world of intrigue, she will learn that the greatest danger lies within — in the shadowy, secret motives of his heart.

  • Are You Sleeping

    Are You Sleeping by Kathleen Barber

    Are You Sleeping by Kathleen Barber is $2.99! I mentioned this in a previous Hide Your Wallet because it’s a thriller that has to do with a true crime podcast, and true crime podcasts are 90% of what I listen to. However, some readers say that despite the cool premise, the execution is lacking in areas.

    The only thing more dangerous than a lie…is the truth.

    Serial meets Ruth Ware’s In A Dark, Dark Wood in this inventive and twisty psychological thriller about a mega-hit podcast that reopens a murder case—and threatens to unravel the carefully constructed life of the victim’s daughter.

    Josie Buhrman has spent the last ten years trying to escape her family’s reputation and with good reason. After her father’s murder thirteen years prior, her mother ran away to join a cult and her twin sister Lanie, once Josie’s closest friend and confidant, betrayed her in an unimaginable way. Now, Josie has finally put down roots in New York, settling into domestic life with her partner Caleb, and that’s where she intends to stay.

    The only problem is that she has lied to Caleb about every detail of her past—starting with her last name.

    When investigative reporter Poppy Parnell sets off a media firestorm with a mega-hit podcast that reopens the long-closed case of Josie’s father’s murder, Josie’s world begins to unravel. Meanwhile, the unexpected death of Josie’s long-absent mother forces her to return to her Midwestern hometown where she must confront the demons from her past—and the lies on which she has staked her future.

    Omg — Cecilia Grant’s A Lady Awakened is on sale for 2.99. Awesome, awesome historical.

  2. Darlynne says:

    Ernest Cline’s READY PLAYER ONE is on sale at Amazon for.99. I love this book, have read it at least five times, and can only hope Spielberg won’t destroy it on the big screen.

  3. Rose says:

    @Darlynne Thank you for noting the sale!! I LOVE Ready Player One. On more than one occasion I’ve gone entirely incoherent trying to explain how much I love it. I’m also awaiting the movie adaptation with a mix of joy and trepidation, though I do think Spielberg is a good choice to blend the 1980s nostalgia and futuristic action.

    It’s an absolute steal at $.99 and I can’t recommend it enough to everyone, even if action isn’t normally your thing. There’s a very sweet romance woven into it, though it isn’t the focus, and it is just a phenomenally fun read.

  4. Erin says:

    *weeps* That Meredith Duran book is $20 for the Kindle edition at Amazon Canada.

    I didn’t like Ready Player One and would only recommend it if you’re really into 80s nerd stuff (this episode of IDEOTV articulates a lot of the issues I also had with the books.)

  5. Jane Drew says:

    “Bound by Your Touch” is a standalone, but there is a kind of paired novel “Written on Your Skin”- totally separate plots, but the two heros know each other, parts of the two stories are happening at the same time, and characters are occasionally of popping in and out of each other’s narratives (and both are fantastic).

  6. ElsieEm says:

    Ready Player One sale appears over. ☹️

  7. Katie Lynn says:

    A Thousand Letters by Staci Hart is free. It’s an adaptation of Persuasion, and the author seems to be working her way through the Austen catalogue. I enjoyed her retelling of Emma, but haven’t read this one yet

  8. Hera says:

    I love Meredith Duran. I started this one and did not initially like it and put it down after the first chapter or so, but went back to it after reading raves on this site and now she’s one of my favorites.
