There’s a one-day sale on Sarah MacLean titles, plus Theresa Romain and… I have to go lie down now. Thank you to Kay on Twitter for the heads up!
No Good Duke Goes Unpunished
RECOMMENDED: No Good Duke Goes Unpunished by Sarah MacLean is $1.99 today as a Kindle Daily Deal – come on over, price matching fairies! This is book 3 in the Rules of Scoundrels series, and won the RITA for Best Historical. Elyse gave it an A-, saying, “No Good Duke Goes Unpunished was my favorite of the three books due primarily to the awesomeness of the hero and heroine.”
A rogue ruined . . .
He is the Killer Duke, accused of murdering Mara Lowe on the eve of her wedding. With no memory of that fateful night, Temple has reigned over the darkest of London’s corners for twelve years, wealthy and powerful, but beyond redemption. Until one night, Mara resurfaces, offering the one thing he’s dreamed of . . . absolution.
A lady returned . . .
Mara planned never to return to the world from which she’d run, but when her brother falls deep into debt at Temple’s exclusive casino, she has no choice but to offer Temple a trade that ends in her returning to society and proving to the world what only she knows…that he is no killer.
A scandal revealed . . .
It’s a fine trade, until Temple realizes that the lady—and her past—are more than they seem. It will take every bit of his strength to resist the pull of this mysterious, maddening woman who seems willing to risk everything for honor . . . and to keep from putting himself on the line for love.

A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean is $1.99 pretty much everywhere – woo! This is book 1 of the Rules of Scoundrels series and a RITA nominee. Our RITA Reader Challenge reviewer rayvyn2k gave it an A, saying, “I loved this book. There is a marriage of convenience (my own personal romance catnip if done well—and it is done very well here), and a hero and heroine who are both struggling with devastating self-esteem issues. Add childhood friendships, meddling friends and family members and you have my perfect story.”

What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets…
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London’s most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance—including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.
A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to such unexplored pleasures.
Bourne may be a prince of London’s underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness—a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them… even her heart.

RECOMMENDED: Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean is $2.99 right now. This is MacLean’s first historical romance, and was an instant bestseller. It has a 4+ star average.
It was nominated for the RITA® in 2011, and our RITA® Reader Challenge reviewer Diana wrote in her A- review, “This is one of those unputdownable books for me. One of those books that made me gasp/sigh audibly. One of those books that gave me those blasted butterflies in my stomach that seemed to turn pterodactyl-like in one of those heart-wrenching scenes.”
NB: Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord ( A | K | G | AB | Au ) is also $2.99.
A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen’s club.
Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried—and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she’s vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she’s been missing.
But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss—to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston—charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.
If she’s not careful, she’ll break the most important rule of all—the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love.

Happy to help with the MacLean titles! And I’ve been looking for a few holiday reads, so it looks like I’ll be picking up the Romain 🙂
I am laughing because No Good Duke was so thoroughly awful for me, with its selfish monster heroine, that I cringe, TO THIS DAY, while looking at its cover. Just…no.
I am 89% certain that I’ve read the Romain holiday book, yet I remember nothing about it. ? Must have been memorable, haha.
