  • Dukes Prefer Blondes

    Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase

    RECOMMENDED: Dukes Prefer Blondes by Loretta Chase is $1.99! Carrie read it and gave it a B. Overall, she enjoyed it, but thought it suffered from too much plot:

    Dukes Prefer Blondes is a book with irresistible characters, a great plot, and tons of witty banter. Y’all know how dearly I love a battle of wits, and this couple just never slows down on the battlefront. It would be A+ material if not for the extremely odd construction. It feels like this book is one draft short of finished, and also like it’s two books crammed into one.

    Biweekly marriage proposals from men who can’t see beyond her (admittedly breathtaking) looks are starting to get on Lady Clara Fairfax’s nerves. Desperate to be something more than ornamental, she escapes to her favorite charity. When a child is in trouble, she turns to tall, dark, and annoying barrister Oliver Radford.

    Though he’s unexpectedly found himself in line to inherit a dukedom, Radford’s never been part of fashionable society, and the blonde beauty, though not entirely bereft of brains, isn’t part of his plans. But Clara overwhelms even his infallible logic, and when wedlock looms, all he can do is try not to lose his head over her . . .

    It’s an inconvenient marriage by ordinary standards, but these two are far from ordinary. Can the ton’s most adored heiress and London’s most difficult bachelor fall victim to their own unruly desires?

  • The Truth About Leo

    The Truth About Leo by Katie MacAlister

    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?

    Can Dagmar flee Denmark

    Dagmar Marie Sophie is a poverty-stricken Danish princess whose annoying royal cousin is about to have her stuffed away in a convent. When she finds a wounded man unconscious in her garden, she sees a way out of her desperate situation.

    By Lying to Leo?

    Leopold Ernst George Mortimer, seventh earl of March, and spy in the service of the king, finds himself on the wrong end of a saber and left for dead. He wakes up not remembering what happened…in the care of a beautiful woman who says she is his wife.

    Back in London, Leo-with the help of his old friends the eccentric Britton family-sets out to unravel what he’s forgotten… Is Dagmar truly the wonderful, irrepressible woman who makes his heart sing, or is she a dangerous enigma bent on his destruction?

  • Married to a Perfect Stranger

    Married to a Perfect Stranger by Jane Ashford

    Married to a Perfect Stranger by Jane Ashford is $1.99! This historical romance has a hero with Beta-ish qualities and features a married couple getting to know one another. Some readers found the beginning a bit slow, while others really liked the heroine.

    Time and distance have changed them both…

    Quiet and obliging, Mary Fleming and John Bexley marry to please their families and John immediately leaves on a two-year diplomatic mission. Now John is back, and everything they thought they knew about each other was wrong…

    It’s disconcerting, irritating-and somehow all very exciting…

  • The Prince of Midnight

    The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale

    The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale is $1.99! This historical romance has some Beauty and the Beast elements. Readers love the angsty, broody hero, while others thought there would be more action to the story. If you’ve read this one, tell us what you thought about it in the comments! It also has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

    He was once a legendary highwayman. Now he’s a recluse in a ruined French castle, with only a half-wild wolf for a companion.

    When Lady Leigh Strachan comes looking for a man to aid in her revenge, she is disillusioned to find that the famed Prince of Midnight could not help even if he cared to—which he does not.

    S. T. Maitland wants nothing to do with his legend, or with this fierce, beautiful, broken woman . . . until the old thrill of living on the cutting edge of danger begins to rise in his blood again.

  1. Lisa says:

    Married to a Perfect Stranger was enjoyable but different. The couple was married out of family expectations. Then the husband went abroad. His return marks their having to negotiate a marriage on entirely different terms as they both grew and changed in the meantime.

  2. kkw says:

    I definitely enjoyed Prince of Midnight, but Laura Kinsale is not for everyone. She’s amazingly emotionally manipulative, which doesn’t sound like a compliment, but I find it an outstanding quality in a writer.
    I loved a good two thirds to three quarters of the Loretta Chase book, and have had no difficulty forgetting whatever it was I didn’t like.

  3. Lostshadows says:

    Just a heads up on Prince of Midnight, I was pretty sure I owned it, but Amazon didn’t tell me I did when I followed the link.

    I double checked my Kindle afterwards and there it was. (Very different cover, so I guess mine’s an older e-edition.)

  4. SusanE says:

    When I checked Married to a Perfect Stranger I found I already had it, but I notice they have another of her books, Nothing Like a Duke, for 62 cents at Amazon and 99 cents at B&N.

  5. Anonymous says:

    I read the Loretta Chase a few weeks ago, had mixed feelings about it, and think I agree that it needed one more draft. It had the potential for greatness but read very choppily somehow, and I felt that some of the hero’s “banter” came uncomfortably close to outright negging at times.

  6. marjorie says:

    I too enjoyed Prince of Midnight. It’s a little self-consciously literary, and the hero is such a dick for so long that the redemption arc may not work for everyone. But Kinsale’s books are really SMART even when they’re flawed.

  7. Katie Lynn says:

    Love Will Always Remember by Tracey Livesay is $1.99, heroine has amnesia, similar to While You Were Sleeping, if that’s your catnip (also part of a series of standalones featuring a diverse cast of characters)

  8. Ms. M says:

    @kkw– can you say more about emotionally manipulative? That’s not been my reaction to her, but I’d like to hear what I might have missed.

  9. JWS says:

    Not my favorite Loretta Chase book and I usually like her stuff.

  10. Msb says:

    I don’t know if Clara can find happiness, but I hope she can do up her anachronistic zipper.

  11. Holly Bush says:

    I loved, loved Dukes Prefer Blondes!

  12. kkw says:

    @Ms. M It seems like magic, but I’m certain it’s a skill: that ability certain authors have to make you emotionally invested, particularly in characters and situations you wouldn’t expect to be moving. Without music, even. You’re reading along, and one second you’re maybe entertained, but not at all certain you even like these characters, and then your perspective shifts, and shifts, and shifts again, and the next thing you know, it’s like they have you by the throat, and you’re a feelings puppet. You’re happy, you’re furious, you’re elated, you’re so anxious that the characters are not going to get it together, and miserable about their choices, but you understand entirely because they’re so unfairly tortured, and misunderstood… I feel like her books are never just a light-hearted romp. You’ll get to HEA, but you’re going to go through the wringer, first.

  13. Jillian says:

    I binge listened to every one of Laura Kinsale’s books, but it was mainly because of Nicholas Boulton’s dreamy narrations!

  14. Antipodean Shenanigans says:

    @Katie Lynn thanks for the heads up on the Tracey Livesay book. I’ve been enjoying that series.

    I LOVED the Prince of Midnight. Not your typical historical romance, in the best way. I found the heroine far more angsty than the hero, who is amazingly written. Trigger warning for cult and sexual assault though. This book is not light and fluffy,

  15. Bonnie F says:

    @kkw perfect explanation, thank you! 🙂

  16. Isabella Morgan says:

    Love that she’s emotionally manipulative. And like that Prince of Midnight wasn’t your typical historical novel. Came across The Artist’s Muse – not typical hist fic too – loved it. Read it on kindle so not sure of price. Writer’s called Kerry Postle. Reminded me of Kinsale. Any other writers similar to her?
