Tina Chen just wants a degree and a job, so her parents never have to worry about making rent again. She has no time for Blake Reynolds, the sexy billionaire who stands to inherit Cyclone Systems.

To her shock, Blake offers her a trade: She’ll get his income, his house, his car. In exchange, he’ll work her hours and send money home to her family. No expectations; no future obligations.
But before long, they’re trading not just lives, but secrets, kisses, and heated nights together. No expectations might break Tina’s heart…but Blake’s secrets could ruin her life.

For the Win by Sara Rider is $1.99 right now. Fans of sports romance and exceptional musculature on the cover should be rather curious about this one, yes? This is book one of a series and is about the captains of the rival men’s and women’s soccer teams in Seattle – there’s a lot of conflict on and off the pitch, too.
It has a 3.7-star average on GoodReads, and readers who enjoyed it mentioned repeatedly their excitement at reading about a women’s professional sports team. Have you read this one?
What happens when you fall for your biggest competition? Sara Rider scores with this charming romance about soccer stars battling their tough opponents and playing the field of love.
Lainey Lukas has sacrificed everything—sleep, family, carbs, a life—to earn her spot as the top player and captain of the Seattle Falcons women’s soccer team. She’s determined to lead her team to a national championship and finally earn the sport the respect it deserves—and nothing will throw her off her game. When Lainey’s hero Gabe Havelak, star of the Seattle Surge, crashes her team’s first press conference—making the Falcons look like a joke to the local media and humiliating Lainey in the process—she’s hell-bent on revenge.
Charming, confident Gabe is practically a god to Seattle soccer fans, but he doesn’t mind a little friendly competition from tough-as-nails Lainey, with her top-notch athletic skills, her mile-long legs, and her girl-next-door freckles. But when he learns the Falcons are booting the Surge from their coveted practice space to the notoriously cursed Cricket Field, those warm feelings give way to crippling superstition. With his contract up for renewal and his thirty-fourth birthday just weeks away, Gabe will risk anything to protect his position with the Surge.
The rivals agree to settle their differences in a Battle of the Sexes competition—a test of skills, fitness, and willpower. At first the situation seems win-win: Gabe gets the chance to earn back the Surge’s practice space, and Lainey’s team will finally get some much-deserved media attention. But as the friction between them becomes hot enough to spark and smolder, Lainey and Gabe are entering new territory—and with both of their careers on the line, love might just be the toughest opponent of all.

The Cold Between by Elizabeth Bonesteel is $1.99 right now! If you’re craving sci-fi suspense with light romantic elements, you might want to grab this deal.
Elyse reviewed this book and gave it a B+, with a rather important caveat: “If you want something a little different or enjoy lighter Sci-Fi with a suspense edge, then I’d recommend The Cold Between. If you need a guaranteed HEA with your romance, then you might want to tread cautiously.”
Deep in the stars, a young officer and her lover are plunged into a murder mystery and a deadly conspiracy in this first entry in a stellar military science-fiction series in the tradition of Lois McMaster Bujold.
When her crewmate, Danny, is murdered on the colony of Volhynia, Central Corps chief engineer, Commander Elena Shaw, is shocked to learn the main suspect is her lover, Treiko Zajec. She knows Trey is innocent—he was with her when Danny was killed. So who is the real killer and why are the cops framing an innocent man?
Retracing Danny’s last hours, they discover that his death may be tied to a mystery from the past: the explosion of a Central Corps starship at a wormhole near Volhynia. For twenty-five years, the Central Gov has been lying about the tragedy, even willing to go to war with the outlaw PSI to protect their secrets.
With the authorities closing in, Elena and Trey head to the wormhole, certain they’ll find answers on the other side. But the truth that awaits them is far more terrifying than they ever imagined . . . a conspiracy deep within Central Gov that threatens all of human civilization throughout the inhabited reaches of the galaxy—and beyond.

The Sinful Nights Bundle: Books 1-3 by Lauren Blakely is .99c right now! This is a three-book bundle of erotic/BDSM romance, and each book features a different couple.
There’s a second chance story and a friends-with-benefits story, for example, and the three-book set has a 4.3-star average.

Have you read any of these?
SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS
She was the one who got away…Ten years ago, Brent Nichols let the love of his life slip through his fingers. It’s his greatest regret, especially since she’s all but disappeared. But when the gorgeous and captivating woman walks into his life unexpectedly, he’s determined to win her back. Whatever it takes, he won’t make the same mistake twice. Easier said than done…

After the way he left, and after the hell she’s been through with her checkered family, there’s no way she’s letting him into her life again. The problem is, the second she sees him, he’s more handsome and charming than before. And she’s torn between wanting to fight with him and wanting to sleep with him — maybe both. Soon they fall into each other’s arms, consumed with a desire that burns through the years.
But if these two fiery lovers are going to have a real second chance at this kind of intense, passionate, bone-deep love, he’ll have to give her his whole heart, and she’ll have to give up all the secrets from her messy past. And that messy past is about to spill over into her carefully constructed present…

Anything But Minor by Kate Stewart is .99, I believe it’s only on Amazon since it’s a KU title. It has a truly awful cover, but it got a DIK review from All About Romance and I’ve seen a lot of other good reviews. Also, Take Me Deeper by Jackie Ashenden is .99 at least at Amazon. I haven’t heard anything about this series, but I’ve liked other books by the author.
Kat Latham’s Christmas novella, Unwrapping Her Perfect Match, is free right now. It’s midway through her London Legends series but reads well as a standalone. I read it last year and enjoyed it.
A bundle of the first three novels + 2 shorts in the Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries, by Jennifer Ashley (The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie) writing as Ashley Gardner, is 99¢ right now – I checked Amazon US and Kobo.
Most Riptide Publishing books were already 25% off this month at ARe and it looks like the 50% rebate is off the discounted price – so that’s a great deal. Riptide, like a lot of m/m and LGBTQ pubs, is usually pricey.
I’m going to pick up the Queers of LaVista books I don’t have yet. This is a series by Kris Ripper that has great representation of queer people that seem like actual people (and not weird straight stereotypes). There are some stereotypes, but they’re at least rooted in queer culture. The execution of the romances is a little uneven so far, IMO, but I love that this series exists and I’m enjoying it so far.
