Wallflower Gone Wild
RECOMMENDED: Wallflower Gone Wild by Maya Rodale is $2.99! This is the second book in the Bad Boys & Wallflowers series, and you can get the first book, plus several others from Rodale, on sale! Elyse reviewed this book in the summer of 2014 and gave it an A:
The sexual tension in this book was really well done, and I loved the slow and organic way that Olivia and Phinn looked past “London’s Least Likely” and “The Mad Baron” to fall in love with the actual person they were married to. Reading about both of them coming out of their shells was a delight.
In the second in Maya Rodale’s delightful Wallflower series, London’s Least Likely to Cause a Scandal is taking Society by storm…
Being good has worked out very badly for Lady Olivia Archer. All she has to show for four seasons on the marriage mart is the nickname Prissy Missy. Her prospects are so bleak that her parents have betrothed her to a stranger with a dire reputation. If Phinneas Cole—aka The Mad Baron—wants a biddable bride, perhaps Olivia can frighten him off by breaking every ladylike rule.
Phinn has admired Olivia’s poise and refinement from afar…qualities that appear to have vanished now that they are officially engaged. This Olivia is flirtatious, provocative, and wickedly irresistible. She’s not at all the woman he bargained for, yet she’s the only one he wants.
He’s determined to woo her. She’s determined to resist. But Olivia is discovering there’s nothing so appealing as a fiancé who’s mad, bad, and dangerously seductive…

RECOMMENDED: Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath is $1.99 at most vendors. Jessie, who is a publicist at Avon and who frequently works with Heath, is a huge fan of this book, and has been since forever. she wrote A Love Letter to Texas Destiny a few years ago, and said:
There’s so much angst and heartache and tenderness and joy in this book, I’m overwhelmed with emotions every time I read it (which is maybe once or twice a year for the past ten years). Houston, a gentle man whose only desire is to own a small plot of land, breed horses, and be left alone, has always been cast in the shadow of his ambitious older brother, and since getting his wounds in the war, he has become even more withdrawn. He has no idea why a woman as sweet and beautiful as Amelia would love him….
Arriving on the Fort Worth train, Miss Amelia Carson, mail-order bride, had never met Dallas Leigh, the Texan she promised to marry. The tall cowboy at the station wasn’t Dallas. He was Houston, Dallas’s brother, sent to escort her on the rugged three-week trek to the ranch where Dallas waited. Brought up in war-ravaged Georgia, Amelia thought Dallas’s letters made Texas sound like heaven, a place for her dreams to grow with the right man beside her.
And his only love…
By all appearances, Houston Leigh would hardly be considered the “right man.” The war he survived had scarred him inside and out, and he was little competition for his handsome brother. But from the moment Houston met Amelia, he knew she possessed the courage this wild land needed. She had eyes that could see past his wounded face to his soul. And he would fight any man—except his brother—for her heart. Now he and Amelia were riding down dangerous trails, sleeping under the stars, and God help them, they were falling in love.

RECOMMENDED: Lady Windermere’s Lover by Miranda Neville is $2.99! This is the third book in the Wild Quartet series and all of the other books are also on sale. Elyse reviewed this book and gave it an A:
I think Miranda Neville must have magic because she has the ability to write books that feature characters or plot devices that normally don’t work for me and yet I find myself devouring the story. Lady Windermere’s Lover is that kind of book. Normally I’d be gritting my teeth because the hero, Damian, is an unrepentant ass bag for most of the book, but somehow it worked for me beautifully.
Hell hath no fury . . .
Damian, Earl of Windermere, rues the day he drunkenly gambled away his family’s estate and was forced into marriage to reclaim it. Now, after hiding out from his new bride for a year, Damian is finally called home, only to discover that his modest bride has become an alluring beauty—and rumor has it that she’s taken a lover. Damian vows to keep his wife from straying again, but to do so he must seduce her—and protect his heart from falling for the wife he never knew he wanted.
Lady Cynthia never aspired to be the subject of scandal.
Lady Cynthia never aspired to be the subject of scandal. But with her husband off gallivanting across Persia, what was a lady to do? Flirting shamelessly with his former best friend seemed like the perfect revenge . . . except no matter how little Damian deserves her loyalty, Cynthia can’t bring herself to be unfaithful. But now that the scoundrel has returned home, Cynthia isn’t about to forgive his absence so easily—even if his presence stirs something in her she’d long thought dead and buried. He might win her heart . . . if he can earn her forgiveness!

The Countess by Lynsay Sands is $1.99! This was the answer to a previous HaBO that sounded hilarious. It’s also the first in a series. Some reviewers described this as a historical romance version of Weekend at Bernie’s, though so found the repetition of “moving a dead body around” a little tiresome. You can grab the entire Madison Sisters trilogy for less than $7!
The fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily-ever-after…
Not until her husband dropped dead, that is. He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters’ debuts as well. So she decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing’s happened…
Until the real earl appears. Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who had robbed him of his name and title…only to discover that he had died. Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited “wife”— certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess. And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new “husband”…and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!

Loved the Miranda Neville! The heroine changes because she wants to do it for herself–not because she wants to impress her husband (though he certainly was impressed when he met her again).
One of my favorite books by a favorite author.
Oh, also I’ve just found out that a ton of titles are 40% over at the Samhain Publishing site for today only. I am actually very surprised at the amount of books that I either recognized or have already read.
Loretta Chase’s Dukes Prefer Blondes is 3.99 at amazon.
The Duchess War by Courtney Milan is **FREE** today in Kindle Format on Amazon!
I did not plan to buy 3 books this morning…
Harlequin has a sale 29% off today only (sitewide) Promo code LEAPYEAR
You’re not kidding about that stunning Samhain sale. There’s Rose Lerner’s “Lively St. Lemeston” series, Amy Jo Cousins’s “Bend or Break” series, K. J. Charles’s “Charm of Magpies” series…
Actually Samhain is going out of business; they say it’s due to Anazon changing the terms of their agreement. That’s terrible news. At least they’re doing it in an orderly way and giving authors their rights back.
Have to pipe up and admit how much I love Lynsay Sands historicals… I mean, “historical” is generous, but they are such light fun. Her heroines are always plucky, kind, and dumb, which is a perfect fit for her brave, kind, and dumb heroes. There tends to be a lot of external conflict and low angst, which is what I prefer for the most part. My library has “The Countess” so I’m going to grab “The Heiress” for $1.99, which apparently features a ravishing deb looking for a poor husband (for reasons?) and a rich husband pretending he’s poor (for reasons?)… should be cracktastic amazingness.
Jill Shalvis’ My Kind of Wonderful is on sale at Amazon for $1.99 in the US.
