  • The Courtesan Duchess

    The Courtesan Duchess by Joanna Shupe

    RECOMMENDEDThe Courtesan Duchess by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched! This is a historical romance where the couple is married, but estranged. This is also the first book in the Wicked Deceptions series, which Redheadedgirl loved! She mentioned this book on a previous Whatcha Reading post and called the book “delightfully crazy.” Have you read this one?

    How to seduce an estranged husband—and banish debt!—in four wickedly improper, shockingly pleasurable steps…

    1. Learn the most intimate secrets of London’s leading courtesan.
    2. Pretend to be a courtesan yourself, using the name Juliet Leighton.
    3. Travel to Venice and locate said husband.
    4. Seduce husband, conceive an heir, and voilà, your future is secure!

    For Julia, the Duchess of Colton, such a ruse promises to be foolproof. After all, her husband has not bothered to lay eyes on her in eight years, since their hasty wedding day when she was only sixteen. But what begins as a tempestuous flirtation escalates into full-blown passion—and the feeling is mutual. Could the man the Courtesan Duchess married actually turn out to be the love of her life?

  • Warrior’s Woman

    Warrior’s Woman by Johanna Lindsey

    Warrior’s Woman by Johanna Lindsey is $2.99! You probably can’t tell from the newer cover, but this is a scifi romance. Here’s the old cover for reference and I so wish they just would have kept it. When I mentioned this to the rest of the Smart Bitches, Redheadedgirl had this to say, “Lindsey is never quite as dirty as one might hope.” Some readers found the hero to be quite the Alphole, while fans of Lindsey loved what she did with a genre that wasn’t historical romance.

    In the year 2139, fearless Tedra De Arr sets out to rescue her beleaguered planet Kystran from the savage rule of the evil Crad Ce Moerr.

    Experienced in combat but not in love, the beautiful, untouched Amazon flies with Martha, her wise-cracking, free-thinking computer, to a world where warriors reigns supreme – and into the arms of the one man she can never hope to vanquish: the bronzed barbarian Challen Ly-San-Ter.

    A magnificent creature of raw yet disciplined desires, the muscle-bound primitive succeeds where no puny Kystran male had before – igniting a raging fire within Tedra that must be extinguished before she can even think of saving her enslaved world…

  • I’m Just a Person

    I’m Just a Person by Tig Notaro

    I’m Just a Person by Tig Notaro is $1.99! I was pretty excited for this book in June 2016’s Hide Your Wallet since I’m a fan of Notaro’s comedy. While readers loved Notaro’s humor in dealing with serious issues, some felt the book lacked the sharpness of her stand-up.

    One of America’s most original comedic voices delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany.

    In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C.Diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, “Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.” Word of the set went viral instantly. This set was ultimately released as Tig’s sophomore album, Live, which sold 100,000 units in just six weeks and was nominated for a Grammy.

    Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year—a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, Untitled is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman’s journey through the darkness and her thrilling return.

  • Vanity Faire

    Vanity Faire by Megan Caldwell

    Vanity Fare by Megan Caldwell (aka Megan Frampton) is $2.99! This book is a mix of starting over and foodie romance. Readers loved the heroine’s sense of humor, but found the pacing to be bogged down by telling instead of showing.

    Vanity Fare is a charming tale of food, family, literature, and romance in which a 40-year-old newly single Brooklyn mother embarks on a culinary writing career and finds herself at the center of a deliciously tempting love triangle.

    Molly Hagan is overwhelmed. Her cheating husband left her for a younger blonde, her six-year-old son is questioning her authority, and she’s starting a job as a copywriter for a local Brooklyn bakery.

    She doesn’t need the complications of a new love. But the bakery’s sexy British pastry chef is determined to win her heart. And there is his intimidating and oh so irresistible business partner…who happens to have a secret that might prevent Molly from getting her own Happily Ever After.

    Funny and sweet, Megan Caldwell’s charming romantic novel includes five delicious recipes developed with the pastry chef from Union Square Café.

    I swear, romance sale posts have to be the only thing where I click, then pray “PLEASE HAVE NOTHING FOR ME, PLEASE DON’T LET ME NOT SEE SOMETHING I WANT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!”

    It’s like…the opposite of logic.

  2. linn says:

    I’m now dying for a review of Warrior’s Woman. The old cover is so… Fabio-licious! I’ve been staring at it for far too long. And the description sounds wonderfully bonkers. I mean, wise-cracking computers, bronzed barbarians. What more could you want from a book?

    Though I admit that “the muscle-bound primitive” made me cringe a little.

  3. Ren Benton says:

    Ah, The Courtesan Duchess.

    “I have a piece of information.”
    “I also have a piece of information.”
    “Let’s never have a conversation putting these two pieces of information together, thereby solving the mystery.”
    “Great idea!”

    I couldn’t deal.

  4. Jacqueline says:

    @linn I’ve not had much luck with Lindsey’s writing style but shhhhh…don’t tell anyone but I am SOOOOO tempted to review Warrior’s Woman on my YouTube channel. It looks ten buckets of whackadoodle that it could be hella fun!

    Annnnd yet I just don’t li————WAAIIIIT!!!!!!

    Okay, this is stupid. I just realized I was confusing Johanna Lindsey with Lynsay Sands! WHY AM I A GIANT GRAPEFRUIT?!? I’ve not read much of Johanna sooooo…guess who just now got tempted? DAMMIT I WAS DOING SO GOOD AT SAYING NO TO THESE SALES!

  5. Jacqueline says:

    @Ren Benton BWAHAHHAHA Gurl I love that!

    It reminds me of a Tumblr post I saw this morning:

    “Me: COMMUNICATE DAMN YOU.
    *shakes book*
    Me: DAMMIT TALK.
    ME: You’re both British! YOU SPEAK THE SAME FREAKING LANGUAGE. SO JUST TALK.
    *shakes book more violently*
    ME: OMG I hate you both. Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalk.”

    Fictional peeps being allergic to communication is THE worst.

  6. carolinareader says:

    I remember loving Warrior Woman many many years ago when I first read it but even though i use to reread it frequently it has been several years and I am worried that I want love it as i once did.

  7. JWS says:

    I have read several of Johanna Lindsey’s books over the years and I can assure you she knows her way around crazy sauce. Big time. She’s also pretty uneven, some of her books are fine and others are really, really bad. I haven’t read this particular book but, my tastes have changed, but I would expect some old school crazy sauce set in the future.

  8. MinaKelly says:

    I enjoyed Warrior’s Woman a lot more than I expected, especially once I stopped expecting it to make sense. What really confused me was why the book kept bringing up rape (e.g. the ship’s computer reprograms the sex bot to be rapier) where the narration kept reassuring us she definitely wouldn’t get raped (e.g. she can turn the robot off). Eventually I realised it was trying to cater to people who expected a certain amount of rape-threat for titillation without putting off readers who might stop reading because they’re worried there will be rape. It’s, uh… of it’s time.

  9. DeanaCal says:

    Oh my gosh I really LOVED Warrior’s Woman way back in the day. Tedra was kind of the precurser to Eve Dallas. I’m afraid to read it again, like carolinareader says, I am afraid I won’t like it any more. I also loved the sequel Keeper of the Heart, and in fact I remember a specific piece of dialog by the hero that was really touching, and I wanted to use the same words in my own wedding.

  10. Adrienne says:

    I love courtesan heroines, so I was really intrigued by this one, but I got about halfway through the Courtesan Duchess before I finally gave up because the hero was being such a stubborn jerk.

  11. Caitlin says:

    Yeah I also couldn’t make it through the Courtesan Duchess. Glad I wasn’t alone!

  12. Diane says:

    I remember reading Warriors Woman, all those years ago, and thinking that it read suspiciously like Sharon Green’s Terrilian series. IDK maybe it was the era?

  13. Jacqueline says:

    @carolinareader @MinaKelly @DeanaCal @Diane THAT IS FOUR VOTES SO FAR…okay, Warriors Woman is practically sitting up and screaming my name for a crack read and a video review.

    I mean, I shouldn’t want to because, you know, rapetasticness. And am I the only one reading that synopsis and half going, “Okay so…what’s the plot about?” Yall ever notice old skool romance love to do the HERE ARE PASSION and PANTS FEELINGS but then, la-di-da right past the details?

  14. DeanaCal says:

    @Jacqueline, PLEASE let us know if you do the review! I’d be so interested to see how it reads to you, now in 2017.

  15. Jacqueline says:

    @DeanaCal WELL POP AND LOCK IT YALL…that seals the deal. I’m buying & review Warrior’s Woman for my YouTube channel. I FOUGHT AND RESISTED SO WELL BUT THE BATTLE WAS LOST…and by lost I mean won lol.

    If nothing else, it’ll make for a fun video to script because old Sokol crazy sauce is ALWAYS fun.

  16. JennyOH says:

    OMG Warrior’s Woman was the first romance I ever read! I remember reading Brave New World around the same time which also has the plot device of artificial wombs meaning “civilized” women don’t actually experience pregnancy so it has become a scary, barbaric idea for them, and that kind of freaked my young mind out. But I totally want to re-read it now.
