Someone Else’s Love Story
RECOMMENDED: Someone Else’s Love Story is Joshilyn Jackson’s newest novel, and it’s $1.99! Jackson is a tremendously talented writer, and a few of you really enjoyed this book the last time it was on sale, so let’s all hope for a price-matching miracle. But be warned: judging from some of the reviews, I want to add a trigger warning for assault that doesn’t seem to be hinted at in the cover copy. The book was also talked about in a previous podcast with Sarah and Jane.
At twenty-one, Shandi Pierce is juggling finishing college, raising her delightful three-year-old genius son Natty, and keeping the peace between her eternally warring, long-divorced Catholic mother and Jewish father. She’s got enough complications without getting caught in the middle of a stick-up in a gas station mini-mart and falling in love with a great wall of a man named William Ashe, who willingly steps between the armed robber and her son.
Shandi doesn’t know that her blond god Thor has his own complications. When he looked down the barrel of that gun he believed it was destiny: It’s been one year to the day since a tragic act of physics shattered his universe. But William doesn’t define destiny the way other people do. A brilliant geneticist who believes in science and numbers, destiny to him is about choice.
Now, he and Shandi are about to meet their so-called destinies head on, in a funny, charming, and poignant novel about science and miracles, secrets and truths, faith and forgiveness; about a virgin birth, a sacrifice, and a resurrection; about falling in love, and learning that things aren’t always what they seem—or what we hope they will be. It’s a novel about discovering what we want and ultimately finding what we need.

Kiss of Surrender
Kiss of Surrender by Sandra Hill is 99c! The second installment in the Deadly Angels, this book’s hero is a Navy SEAL vampire Viking angel. You know, the usual. Add in a cop heroine and a group of immortals hellbent on wreaking havoc all over the place. Be forewarned: some readers found this too cracktastic to take, while others thought it had just enough WTF. It has a 3.8-star rating on GR.
It’s not easy being a Vampire Angel
No one knows that better than Trond Sigurdsson. In the centuries since he last went out drinking and wenching with his Viking buds, Trond has been a gladiator, a cowboy, a ditch digger…even a sheik. But now he’s the baddest of them all: a kick-butt Navy SEAL kicking butts of terrorist immortals with the help of his hotter-than-Hades female partner, police officer-turned-Special Forces operative Nicole Tasso—whom Trond dearly hopes to “partner” with very shortly in a whole different way.
It’s not easy being a Vangel’s lover
The “cop” part of Nicole tells her there’s something bizarre about her gorgeous godlike teammate. But her “all-woman” side can’t help wondering how great it would be to have a virile Viking in her bed. Trond has secrets galore, but Nicole feels certain she can dig them out—and really get to the heart of this powerful, unnerving stranger whom she may be risking her soul to love.

The Food of Morocco
The Food of Morocco by Paula Wolfert is $1.99! I took a few semesters of French in college and my wonderful professor was from Morocco. At the end of the semester, she’d invite everyone over to her house where she’d cook this huge Moroccan feast. It was amazing and I can’t recommend Moroccan food enough. Readers on Goodreads mention that this book is more than just a collection of recipes as it delves into the Moroccan culture, and many particularly loved the chapter on bread.
Paula Wolferts unparalleled knowledge of this delicious food. Essays illuminate the essential elements of Moroccan flavor and emphasize the accessibility of once hard-to-find ingredients such as saffron, argan oil, and Moroccan cumin seed.
Lavishly photographed in full color, The Food of Morocco not only showcases Wolferts tantalizing recipes but also evokes Morocco in all its timeless splendor and mystery: its markets with their lush produce, its dazzling textiles and intricate mosaic tiles, its communal ovens and ancient souks, and of course its people, from Marrakech to Tangier. A labor of love four decades in the making, The Food of Morocco is a once-in-a-lifetime book of uncommon scope and authenticity, an essential work for every serious cook, anyone interested in Moroccan cuisine, and discerning armchair travelers alike.

The Truth About Leo
The Truth About Leo by Katie MacAlister is $1.99 at select vendors! This is a historical romance and the fourth book in her Noble series. Readers describe this as a sweet, slightly fluffy romance with a great start. However, part of the plot seems to unravel halfway through. Have you read this one?

“Navy SEAL vampire Viking angel”
I understand all those things separately, but once you put them together, I start to feel confused.
@Crystal: Just embrace it! Because the more you think about it, the more you’re likely to get a headache.
Thanks for the review of the Moroccan cookbook. I love trying new recipes. Even better to find them in a book where I can get a glimpse of the culture where the recipes are from. I’ll check it out.
I, once again, enthusiastically recommend Someone Else’s Love Story. I loved it enough that even though I have a rule about purchasing books for my Kindle that I’ve already read, I bought it anyway the last time it was on sale.
The Rook by Daniel O’Malley is $2.99 at Amazon, no doubt to promote the sequel, Stiletto. Definitely not a romance, but a really strange mixture of horror, science fiction and thriller, all laced with truly diabolical humor. It’s sort of a cross between James Bond, urban fantasy, and Garbage Pail Kids with a really interesting female protagonist.
