To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
BOOK CLUB PICK: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han is $2.99! This is a YA romance and is our first pick for the book club’s triumphant return! In it, all of the heroine’s crushes find out about her feelings all at once when her secret letters accidentally get mailed out. We’re pretty excited to read this one and discuss it later this month.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister’s ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.

The Talented Mr. Rivers by HelenKay Dimon is 99c! Elyse really enjoyed this one, but she definitely recommends you read the previous book in the series for the proper background. She gave this one an A grade:
This book is also a quick, action-packed read–so if you’re looking for something fast, fun and sexy, I’d highly recommend it.
HelenKay Dimon’s suspenseful, provocative series of double agents and dark desire continues with a novel featuring two men bound by a dangerous job—and by the cravings they feel for each other.
As the son of an international crime lord, Will Rivers only inherited one thing after his father died: trouble. The Pentasus organization deals in kidnapping and murder, and Will wants no part of the power grab that’s tearing leadership apart. But the only way he’ll be able to escape is with some help from his former bodyguard, Hunter Cain, whose sculpted body and brooding looks keep Will awake at night. Somehow, Hunter has resisted the tension between them . . . until, suddenly, he gives in.
As a German intelligence officer working deep undercover, Hunter has a very good reason to keep Will in the dark about his identity and his intentions. Although the sex is hot, Hunter’s true feelings are a growing liability. Now the only way to save Will from his old life is to push him deeper into danger. But when two strong men are each determined to protect the other, the heat isn’t just combustible—it’s a firestorm.

Leveling the Field by Megan Erickson is 99c! This is a romance between a photographer and reclusive gamer. Some readers had trouble liking the hero, but others say that this is a quick, fun read. It’s the fourth and final book in the Gamers series and has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Reclusive magazine exec Ethan Talley is furious when his business partner hires a photographer—a gorgeous photographer who insists on speaking her mind, damn it—to take pictures for an upcoming article. No matter how badly he wants the woman…under him, over him, against the nearest wall…he has reasons for not wanting to be on camera anymore, and his scars are only one of them.
It takes approximately two seconds for Lissa Kingsman to recognize Ethan as the popular YouTube gamer who fell off the planet years ago. But this Ethan is different than the charming man she used to watch, and the crush she had on him then is nothing compared to the way she’s lusting after the brooding man he is today. If sex is all he can give her, fine. Why not use that bearskin rug in her studio for something other than a prop? But she’s determined to put a chink in his armor, no matter how much he resists.

A Change of Heart by Sonali Dev is $2.99! This book has been mentioned on several previous podcasts. Readers note this romance is a bit angstier and moodier than her previous books, which may not be for everyone. Have you read this? What did you think?
Dr. Nikhil ‘Nic’ Joshi had it all—marriage, career, purpose. Until, while working for Doctors Without Borders in a Mumbai slum, his wife, Jen, discovered a black market organ transplant ring. Before she could expose the truth, Jen was killed.
Two years after the tragedy, Nic is a cruise ship doctor who spends his days treating seasickness and sunburn and his nights in a boozy haze. On one of those blurry evenings on deck, Nic meets a woman who makes a startling claim: she received Jen’s heart in a transplant and has a message for him. Nic wants to discount Jess Koirala’s story as absurd, but there’s something about her reckless desperation that resonates despite his doubts.
Jess has spent years working her way out of a nightmarish life in Calcutta and into a respectable Bollywood dance troupe. Now she faces losing the one thing that matters—her young son, Joy. She needs to uncover the secrets Jen risked everything for; but the unforeseen bond that results between her and Nic is both a lifeline and a perilous complication.
Delving beyond the surface of modern Indian-American life, acclaimed author Sonali Dev’s page-turning novel is both riveting and emotionally rewarding—an extraordinary story of human connection, bravery, and hope.

The Sonali Dev book was DNF for me. It was just so dark with no apparent light at the end.
There is a book on sale for free today called “Jarek” by Celia Kyle & Erin Tate. It is described as a “Scifi Alien Weredragon Romance”… which means I need no more details. One click!
Agreed with Vic. Loved The Bollywood Affair but just could not get through A Change of Heart. It was like trudging through a filthy never ending tunnel. Never seen the word “gouge” used so many times. Trigger warnings for alcoholism, rape, murder, violence against women and very foul and misogynistic language. I know bad shit happens in real life and I’ve read my fair share of dark books but something about this one was really hard to read. The HEA when it comes feels like a stuck-on post-it note, not enough care given to resolve the MC’s relationship. Also the turn around of the hero was pretty unbelievable to me.
I liked A Change of Heart, but I don’t think it works as a romance. The love story was by far the weakest part for me.
I respect Sonali Dev for many reasons, but I was not at all excited about the “loving sex overcomes PTSD” vibe with A Change of Heart.
To clarify, I meant “sex that is loving.” This is a trope I see often in romance and it just isn’t for me.
I’m about to abandon “Change of Heart” because it’s so freaking intense and awful, and OH MY GOD ISN’T THE WORLD INTENSE AND AWFUL ENOUGH RIGHT NOW?
Thank you for To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before! I heard about it on Get Booked and the plot just sounds so wonderfully mortifying. Can you imagine?? But then at the same time maybe it’d be kind of neat to tell someone that they inspired strong feelings.
I just finished Change of Heart and have to say, I liked it SO much more than A Bollywood Affair. I’m glad I didn’t give up on Dev after how irritated I was in the tropes of that first book. I like reading about damaged people finding love, I guess. I thought the main flaw was not wrapping up all the storylines/villains. If unfinished business bothers you, this will drive you nuts. Also, the book made me so hungry. All those Indian pastries.
