Blood of the Maple
Blood of the Maple by Dana Marie Bell is 99c at most vendors! This is a paranormal romance between a vampire hero and a dryad heroine, who happen to be neighbors. Ya’ll, I love paranormal romances with fae characters and this has been on my TBR list for a while. Readers seemed to love the colorful cast of characters in the book and the rest of the series, while others felt like there was too much going on. If you’re looking to binge read, you can pick up all four current books in the series for around $13!
A seduction-gone-wrong leaves vampire Parker Hollis with a new vegetarian lifestyle and on the run from a vengeful witch. Moving to small-town Maggie’s Grove, Parker meets a redheaded dryad with green, leafy blood that draws him in a way he hasn’t experienced in decades. His new neighbor smells divine, and it isn’t long before craving gives in to need.
In a unique community of supernaturals, tree-loving outcast Amara Schwedler has never quite fit in. She’s scarred by a traumatic incident and feared by the local townsfolk. She’s convinced Parker will look elsewhere for a mate once he discovers she’s not one of the O-positive set, and can’t believe it when Parker finds her irresistible.
When the witch who’s been plaguing Parker’s life discovers the newfound attraction between Parker and Amara, she takes out her anger on the town. Can the supernaturals of Maggie’s Grove accept Amara and band together in time to withstand the assaults of the enraged witch?

RECOMMENDED: Playing Dirty by HelenKay Dimon is $1.99! This is a romantic suspense and is the first book in the Bad Boys Undercoverseries. Elyse reviewed the book earlier this year and gave it an A:
Playing Dirty is also action-driven, with excellent pacing. I felt like I gobbled this book down in record time, only to realize my neck hurt because I’d been sitting in the exact same position for one glorious OM-NOM-NOM session until it was done.

A Bride for Keeps by Melissa Jagears is $1.99! This is an inspirational romance with a heroine who decides to become a mail order bride to escape her father’s demands. Some reviewers on Goodreads found the book a little repetitive, as it dragged in some spots. However, others thought the book was packed with emotion. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Although Everett Cline can hardly keep up with the demands of his homestead, he won’t humiliate himself by looking for a helpmate ever again–not after being jilted by three mail-order brides. When a well-meaning neighbor goes behind his back to bring yet another mail-order bride to town, he has good reason to doubt it will work, especially after getting a glimpse at the woman in question. She’s the prettiest woman he’s ever seen, and it’s just not possible she’s there to marry a simple homesteader like him.
Julia Lockwood has never been anything more than a pretty pawn for her father or a business acquisition for her former fiance. Having finally worked up the courage to leave her life in Massachusetts, she’s determined to find a place where people will value her for more than her looks. Having run out of all other options, Julia resorts to a mail-order marriage in far-away Kansas.
Everett is skeptical a cultured woman like Julia could be happy in a life on the plains, while Julia, deeply wounded by a past relationship, is skittish at the idea of marriage at all. When, despite their hesitations, they agree to a marriage in name only, neither one is prepared for the feelings that soon arise to complicate their arrangement. Can two people accustomed to keeping their distance let the barricades around their hearts down long enough to fall in love?

The Good Girls Revolt by Lynn Povich is $1.99! This is nonfiction and the book was recently turned into an Amazon Prime series with Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect). I haven’t watched the series yet, but it’s definitely on my To Watch list. Readers definitely recommend this for anyone who is interested in women’s history, but others felt the writing conflicted with the story. Have you read this one?
On March 16, 1970, Newsweek magazine hit newsstands with a cover story on the fledgling feminist movement entitled “Women in Revolt.” That same day, 46 Newsweek women, Lynn Povich among them, announced they’d filed an EEOC complaint charging their employer with “systematic discrimination” against them in hiring and promotion.
In “The Good Girls Revolt,” Povich evocatively tells the story of this dramatic turning point through the lives of several participants, showing how personal experiences and cultural shifts led a group of well-mannered, largely apolitical women, raised in the 1940s and 1950s, to stand up for their rights–and what happened after they did. For many, filing the suit was a radicalizing act that empowered them to “find themselves” and stake a claim. Others lost their way in a landscape of opportunities, pressures, discouragements, and hostilities they weren’t prepared to navigate.
With warmth, humor, and perspective, the book also explores why changes in the law did not change everything for today’s young women.

I loved Blood of the Maple! It was the right balance of lightness and paranormal (for me). I actually listened to it and liked the narrator, so if you like audiobooks you can add it on if you buy the Kindle version. Also, it’s fairly steamy for a PNR. Highly recommended!
Carina press books are 50% off through their site with code DAY2135 today only. I know there are quite a few series they publish that are definitely a bargain at that price
I think the code for 50% off at carina press / harlequin is DAY2315
Yes, sorry. I’m notorious for transposing numbers
Feeling sad that Carina doesn’t allow pre-orders 🙁
Got to admit, I was a bit disappointed to discover Blood of the Maple wasn’t some weird-ass Canadian paranormal romance, maybe featuring a Quebecois loup-garou and Ogopogo.
