AppSumo has a great deal on 100 credits for DepositPhoto for only $49!
Sarah: This is my favorite of the AppSumo deals.
I bought this about two years ago and I still haven’t used all the credits. The credits do not expire, and the DepositPhoto collection includes vector images and stock photos, too. Most of the images on the site that aren’t custom designed begin with DepositPhoto options. Seriously, 100 credits will last you a very long time.

All In
RECOMMENDED: All In by Simona Ahrnstedt is $2.99! Redheadedgirl gave the book an A:
I felt like this was full of Shakespearean drama, and scheming families, and hot sex, and gorgeous clothes, but also some important things to say about how the world is functioning. There’s a lot going on, though, and the ending a tad rushed.
In the cutthroat world of Sweden’s financial elite, no one knows that better than corporate raider David Hammar. Ruthless. Notorious. Unstoppable. He’s out to hijack the ultimate prize, Investum. After years of planning, all the players are in place; he needs just one member of the aristocratic owning family on his side–Natalia De la Grip.
Elegant, brilliant, driven to succeed in a man’s world, Natalia is curious about David’s unexpected invitation to lunch. Everyone knows that he is rich, dangerous, unethical; she soon discovers he is also deeply scarred.
The attraction between these two is impossible, but the long Swedish nights unfold an affair that will bring to light shocking secrets, forever alter a family, and force both Natalia and David to confront their innermost fears and desires.

An Unseen Attraction
An Unseen Attraction by K.J. Charles is $1.99! This book published earlier this year. It’s a gay historical romance and was recommended several times in a Rec League on neurodivergent characters. This is also the first book in a new series by Charles and has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles.
Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He’s happy with his hobbies, his work—and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship…
Rowley just wants to be left alone—at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding… it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered.
Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they’re to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets—and their hearts.

The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell
The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell by Stacy Reid is 99c! This is book two in the Scandalous House of Calydon series. The first book is also on sale and the rest of the series is available for $3.99 each. If you like the trope of an “ice queen” heroine, readers recommend this historical romance. However, some felt the pace dragged.
With a longing for adventure, the last thing Phillipa Peppiwell wants is to marry. After a painful betrayal by a man she trusted, she is wary when she unwittingly catches the attention of roguishly handsome – and sinfully tempting – Lord Anthony Thornton. Forbidden desires she secretly yearns for threaten to crumble her icy facade and reveal a past scandal best kept buried.
Dissatisfied with his empty life, Lord Anthony seeks a deep and lasting connection…and finds himself intrigued by the Ice Maiden of the haute monde. Undaunted by Phillipa’s aloof nature and her distaste for the idea of matrimony, he sets out to thaw the bewitching beauty by enticing her with adventures of the most sensual type. But he, too, hides a scandalous secret…and if it’s discovered it could rip them apart.

How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days
How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days by Kerrelyn Sparks is $1.99! This is the first book in The Embraced series and is a fantasy/paranormal romance. Readers felt it was light on the fantasy elements, which they wanted more of, but others enjoyed the Beauty and the Beast elements. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.
From the brilliant imagination of Kerrelyn Sparks comes a bold new fantasy romance series in which passion and magic collide. Behold the Embraced…
As one of the Embraced—one born with magical powers—the beautiful, innocent Luciana escaped certain death after her father hid her away on the Isle of Moon. Now, nineteen years later, her father has returned with a frightening request. He will be executed unless Luciana returns to the mainland and marries a man feared throughout the land: a terrifying brute known as the Beast.
Luciana accepts her fate and agrees to wed the Beast—Lord Leo—in order to save her father. Soon she learns that her betrothed is also one of the Embraced. With the ability to wield lightning, Leo’s immense power strikes fear into the hearts of men. . .and his mere touch can put an end to a woman’s life. But Luciana cannot deny the passion that burns between them. How can she resist the man who scorches her soul and makes her feel intoxicated with desire—even if surrendering to him could destroy them both?

Loved How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days. Fun new fantasy world, but still plenty of romance, and I liked the rapport the protagonists developed. Definitely a bit on the fluffy side with comedy and wacky hijinks but I thought it was a blast. Plus, each of the sequels will explore a different area of the world, which is really cool (I complained on Goodreads that the sequel So I Married A Sorcerer is way too long and has two full plot arcs but should have just picked one. Still loved visiting the world though).
Was meh on the KJ Charles though I know she is generally adored. Had too much of the thriller/mystery/creepy elements for my taste because I am such a wimp.
One-clicked the KJ Charles! So excited!
“Magic Bleeds,” the 4th book in the Kate Daniels series, is on sale for $1.99. These books are basically never on sale, so grab it while you can if you’re interested
An Unseen Attraction is quite good and the first of three books in a series. I feel KJ Charles is one of the few writers out there that strikes a good balance between ‘wallpaper history’ and ‘beat you in the head history’ and the romance is always well done.
Highly recommend An Unseen Attraction. The third (and I think final) book in that series comes out next month. An Unseen Attraction doesn’t end with a cliffhanger and it has a firm hfn for the main couple but there’s an overarching mystery that (I hope) will be solved with book 3.
Another thumbs up for An Unseen Attraction: credible, three-dimensional characters and a nicely developing romantic relationship. This is one I’ll re-read.
Also on sale is Ilona Andrews first Edge Series book ‘On the Edge’ for 2.99. They are usually 7.99 so that’s a good price. If you have read the Kate Daniels and liked them then you should check out this series as well. My favorite is the third book ‘Fate’es Edge’ with Kaldar Mar who is soo much fun.
Eloisa James’s Paris in Love is on sale for $1.99 at Amazon and iBooks! Love it so much, like chatting with a great friend about living the expat life in France.
I loved All In for all the reasons RHG did but also for the epic Oprah’s Favorite Things level of secret baby trope. A do not miss read.
Miss Peppiwell’s hair is totally distracting me. Miss Peppy-curls is more like it… 🙂
I’d like to take a look at All In, but can’t find it on Amazon UK. 🙁
@Hazel: All In, Amazon UK – https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Simona-Ahrnstedt-ebook/dp/B01B1Q3QAC/
(Unless you were looking for it in Swedish, in which case you’re on your own.)
Thanks very much, Deborah. I did find it after all and read a sample last night.
The English translation seemed rather stilted, the set up unconvincing and I wasn’t enticed.
