RECOMMEDED: Heir by Sabaa Tahir is $1.99! We ran a guest review by Crystal Anne and she gave it an A:
This book is excellent, which is not a surprise, given that Tahir is an excellent writer. It would have been more surprising if it wasn’t.
But the more important thing to me is that this book was the right book at the right time, and it was there when I needed it to be. I dearly hope it could be that for others, because I know that right now, a lot of us need that, and we’re going to need it for a long time to come.
This Rec League is from PamG, who is looking for some competence porn in academic settings: I don’t know if this is appropriate for a Rec League, but I have a rather persnickety request. I really like books set in academia, but I have problems with student/professor match-ups. The issue isn’t necessarily the relationship if it’s consensual and the author addresses the power (or age) imbalance between student and teacher in a serious way. However, … Continue reading The Rec League: Academic Romances for Grown Ups→
I got my hopes up too high for this novel. Strategic fail. You see, I had been trying to find a copy for review purposes for months, but it was never available in South Africa. When the book finally was available, I grabbed it with both hands. It’s a rare book that can live up to months and months of anticipation and sadly this one did not. Lydia is rich thanks to the wool processing … Continue reading How to Lose a Lord in Ten Days by Sophie Irwin→

Happy Wednesday! Y’all, I am tired. This week has been so weird and we’re only halfway through it. Anyone else feeling off-kilter? At the very least, it’s Cadbury Creme Egg season. My favorite time of the year. However, I’ve heard that the Cadbury chocolates, in general, are of better quality across the bond. Maybe one day I’ll get to taste test! … This link was sent in by EC Spurlock: This is a virtual tour … Continue reading Links: Birds, Vintage Romance, & More→
Katabasis by R.F. Kuang is $1.99! This was a big release, as are most of Kuang’s books. Did any of you grab this one? If you’re still waiting on library holds, snap this deal up while you can.
This HaBO comes from Andrea, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a book from Kindle, but I can’t remember the cover, title, or any of the character names. There’s this one scene that I remember very vividly, which is what sparked my interest in finding this book because I remember it being so hot. I can’t remember if this book was part of a series or not. But basically the heroine and … Continue reading HaBO: Steamy Steam Room Action→
Happy Tuesday! It’s a brief release week for us with two fantasy titles and a contemporary romance. However, things will pick up for the rest of March. Which new releases are you excited for this week? Tell us in the comments!
No Mistress of Mine by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! This historical romance features a second chance, opposites attract romance. Some readers had difficulty liking the protagonists, while others really enjoyed the scandalous heroine. It’s book four in the American Heiress in London series.
This book is ludicrous and not in a fun way. Before I let my rant get away with me, the blurb: Eoin Aucourte, the newly minted Duke of Foxglen, always played by his grandfather’s rules. But now that the old man is dead, Eoin’s first decision is to track down his long-lost mother. The only problem? He’ll have to visit the infamous Black Sheep Coffeehouse to begin his search. Rumor has it that the owner, … Continue reading Miss Wick and the Duke Dilemma by Violet Marsh→
