The Lady Hellion
Update: As of 2:10pm EST, The Lady Hellion isn’t reflecting the sale price, but the other two books are still available for less than $3 each.
RECOMMENDED: The Lady Hellion by Joanna Shupe is $1.99 at Amazon! Hopefully, we have some price matching later in the day. The first two books in the series are also $1.99 at Amazon, and Redheadedgirl loved them as well! RHG reviewed the book earlier this year and gave it an A-:
The heroine in The Lady Hellion is Lady Sophia Barnes, the daughter of a Marquess… and sometimes known as Sir Stephen Radcliffe, a young pup of a dude who shows up at gaming hells and brothels while investigating missing women. (YES IT IS A CROSS-DRESSING TROPE YAY). She’s known Quint forever, and held a torch for him for at least that long. He’s also held a torch for her, so we also have two idiots who can’t use their fucking words.
I love a good “Can’t use their fucking words” story in the hands of a good writer.
A rabble rouser for justice, Sophie’s latest mission is to fight for the rights of the poor, the wretched–and the employees at Madame Hartley’s brothel. She’s not concerned about the criminals who will cross her path, for Sophie has mastered the art of deception–including the art of wearing trousers. Now her fate is in her own hands, along with a loaded gun. All she needs is instruction on how to shoot it. But only one person can help her: Lord Quint, the man who broke her heart years ago. The man she won’t let destroy her again…
The last thing Damien Beecham, Viscount Quint, needs is an intrusion on his privacy, especially from the beautiful, exasperating woman he’s never stopped wanting. A woman with a perilously absurd request, no less. For Damien is fighting a battle of his own, one he wishes to keep hidden–along with his feelings for Lady Sophia. Yet that fight is as hopeless as stopping her outlandish plan. Soon all Quint knows for certain is that he will die trying to protect her…

Only Enchanting
Only Enchanting by Mary Balogh is $3.99! This is a historical romance in Balogh Survivor’s Club series, which Elyse has enjoyed, reviewing two of the books on the site. The series focuses on a group of veterans who survived the Napoleonic Wars, and this particular book features a marriage of convenience. A few readers complained of a slow start to the book, while others loved how the heroine helped with the hero post-war life. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
The Survivors’ Club: Six men and one woman, all wounded in the Napoleonic Wars, their friendship forged during their recovery at Penderris Hall in Cornwall. Now, in the fourth novel of the Survivors’ Club series, Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, has left this refuge to find his own salvation—in the love of a most unsuspecting woman.…
Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, was devastated by his fiancée’s desertion after his return home. Now the woman who broke his heart is back—and everyone is eager to revive their engagement. Except Flavian, who, in a panic, runs straight into the arms of a most sensible yet enchanting young woman.
Agnes Keeping has never been in love—and never wishes to be. But then she meets the charismatic Flavian, and suddenly Agnes falls so foolishly and so deeply that she agrees to his impetuous proposal of marriage.
When Agnes discovers that the proposal is only to avenge his former love, she’s determined to flee. But Flavian has no intention of letting his new bride go, especially now that he too has fallen so passionately and so unexpectedly in love.

My Lady, My Lord
My Lady, My Lord by Katharine Ashe is 99c! This was nominated for a RITA® this year in the Paranormal Category though it’s a historical romance, and of course, was part of our RITA® Reader Challenge.
I really wanted to love this book. I’ve enjoyed other books by Ashe but this one just didn’t work as well for me. By the time I finished it, I felt “meh” about it. I felt so “meh” about it that I considered not writing this review.
Overall, I liked what was being attempted in this book but parts of the execution didn’t work for me. I really wanted to love it but I couldn’t.
After a difficult first chapter, where Lord Ian Chance and a multitude of his friends and a relation were introduced in a gambling and not-quite-bawdy house, and a somewhat more pedantic but more easily followed second chapter introducing Corinna Mowbray as she orchestrated a salon/gathering at her home, the book finally caught its stride in with the body switch, realized through Chance’s eyes. When I got to this point, I actually said “oh” out loud, and with a smile I settled in for what I was hoping would be an novel take on what had begun as a pretty standard Regency.
In summary, the writing was good after the first two overpopulated introductory chapters, the premise was fun, and the romance was a slow and believable build, with the caveat given by TheoLibrarian that Chance’s declaration of lifelong passion for Corinna was somewhat of a shock. I did enjoy reading it.
The Bluestocking
Lady Corinna Mowbray has three passions: excellent books, intelligent conversation, and disdaining the libertine Earl of Chance.The Rake
Lord Ian Chance has three pleasures: beautiful women, fast horses, and tormenting high-and-mighty Corinna Mowbray.Neighbors for years, they’ve been at each other’s throats since they can remember. But when a twist of fate forces them to trade lives, how long will it be before they discover they cannot live without each other?

Enticing Miss Eugenie Villaret
Enticing Miss Eugenie Villaret by Ella Quinn is 99c! This is the fifth book in her Marriage Game series, and if you’re hoping to stock up, some of the other books are also on sale! This historical romance involves a hero and heroine hiding their identities from one another. A few readers mentioned that they couldn’t get invested in the characters, blaming the dialogue. However, others really loved the heroine and her headstrong characteristics. It has a 3.7-star rating on Goodreads.
Ella Quinn’s intriguing and irresistible bachelors are masters in the game of seduction. But nothing has the power to change a single man’s mind like a captivating woman. . .
William, Viscount Wivenly, plans to remain the most eligible of bachelors. He refuses to surrender to the schemes of husband-hunting ladies and matchmaking mamas. Fleeing the pressure of the ton, he’s bent on finding refuge in the West Indies. What he finds instead is a fascinating stranger, a woman so unlike those of his society that he can’t resist such a beguiling distraction. . .
Determined to let nothing complicate her mission to protect her family’s livelihood while covertly rescuing orphaned slave children, Miss Eugénie Villaret does her best to evade suitors. But when dashing William lures her down a path of forbidden adventure and delicious danger, she may be convinced that business can indeed be mixed with pleasure—and persuaded to add passion to her priorities. . .

Sadly, The Lady Hellion shows up as $5.84 at Amazon, but the other two in the series are on sale for $2.39 each: The Courtesan Duchess and The Harlot Countess.
@ARS22: Ugh, I hate it when that happens! Glad that some of them are still reflecting a sale price.
Apologies if this was already mentioned, but “Silk and Shadows” by Mary Jo Putney is on sale at Amazon for .99. It’s the first of her Silk trilogy, and it’s really, really good. I hadn’t read it in so many years I forgot the story, so now I’m rereading and I can’t put it down.
