A Fine Romance
A Fine Romance by Christi Barth is 99c! This contemporary romance has a slight enemies to lovers trope. The heroine wants to open a “romance store,” which helps craft the perfect date for couples, and the hero is a baker. It’s a sweet romance, though some readers found the couple’s obstacles to be meh.
They say you form your first impression of someone within thirty seconds of meeting them. Or, in Mira Parrish’s case, within thirty minutes of not meeting them, when said person is supposed to pick you up from the airport and never shows. This is not a perfect start to her new life. Her friend Ivy is depending on her to run a new romance store, and Mira can’t afford to let her down.
Sam Lyons should probably apologize. But every time he sees Mira–which is often, since his family owns the bakery next to her shop–he can’t resist antagonizing her. There’s something about the sexy, straight-laced woman that drives him crazy. He can’t get involved, though. He has too much baggage to be any good in a serious relationship.
Despite his teasing attitude, Mira finds Sam too sweet to resist. (His hot body may be a factor.) But if there’s going to be anything permanent between them, they’ll need to let go of their pasts and look to the future…

What a Gentleman Desires
What a Gentleman Desires by Kasey Michaels is $2.99! This is the third book in The Redgraves series and features a hero out for revenge. Readers enjoyed the intrigue and secrecy elements, but other readers felt the main characters lacked any chemistry. This book can be read as a standalone. Have any of you picked it up?
Wicked intrigue unfolds in USA TODAY bestselling author Kasey Michaels’s series about the Redgraves—four siblings celebrated for their legacy of scandal and seduction…
Plagued by the scandal that once destroyed his father and now threatens his family, Valentine Redgrave dreams of dark justice. Brother to the Earl of Saltwood, with secret ties to the Crown, he won’t rest until he infiltrates and annihilates England’s most notorious hellfire club. To cross its elite members is to court destruction, yet he’s never craved a challenge more. Until he encounters enigmatic governess Daisy Marchant, who behind a plain-Jane guise harbors a private agenda and appeals to his every weakness…and desire.
Valentine’s hunt for revenge is Daisy’s key to finding her sister, who may be lost in the clutches of a deadly Society. But his seductive charm unlocks passion that can undo them both. Now, the only way to escape death and rescue their families is to trust each other in love and loyalty…even as they tread deeper into danger.

Soul Sucker
Soul Sucker by Kate Pearce is 99c! This is the first book in the Soul Justice series and sounds like all sorts of my catnip: fae hero, arranged mates, supernatural government agencies. The next book in the series follows the same couple, so I’m unsure if the first book is lighter on romance and heavier on the urban fantasy vibe. However, I didn’t see any mentions of a cliffhanger in this one.
Supernatural Branch of Law Enforcement empath Ella Walsh sucks memories from people’s heads. The job fills her mind with others’ nightmares and leaves her with little time for love, but if she doesn’t pair off with a mate of the government’s choosing soon, the psychic blowback will destroy her powers and her sanity.
The last time shapeshifting SBLE superstar Vadim Morosov worked with an empath, he got her killed and himself assigned to a desk. He worries about taking on another partner, but helping Ella track down an empath killer might be his only chance to save his career.
Naturally, the government decides to throw them together…
They resist at first, but they can’t deny the simmering heat between them. As the killer’s strikes grow closer to home, their bond gets tighter. And when the murderer finally traps Ella, her developing link with Vadim might be the only thing that can save her.

Personal Assets
Personal Assets by Kelsey Browning is 99c! This is a contemporary romance, and is book 1 in the Texas Nights series. It has a 4+ star average on Goodreads, and readers who gave it high marks used words like “crisp,” “fun,” “light,” sharp,” “hot,” and “witty” to describe it. However, some readers had an issue maintaining interest.
Sex therapist Allie Shelby has the professional credentials, but she could use a bit more practical experience. Finding the right man to bring out her inner bad girl is tough in a population-challenged Texas town. So when sinfully sexy Cameron Wright rolls back into Shelbyville, Allie wastes no time inviting him to join her in some hands-on research.
Cameron has come home to fulfill his dream of restoring classic cars. Back in high school, he knew the town princess, Allie Shelby, was way out of his league. Today he has even less in common with Allie, so he’s shocked as hell when she propositions him. Still, he’s only human, so he accepts her offer—and with each encounter, she shows him another, wilder side. Before long, he’s thinking about more than just sex.
But while her personal life heats up, Allie’s business is about to crash and burn. And she has to convince Cameron that she’s one princess who’s not looking for a prince to ride to her rescue.

Are there any romance novels featuring sex therapist heroines who AREN’T prudes (er, “lacking real life experience”)? You know that if there were a sex therapist hero, his expertise would come as a result of his long list of conquests.
@Lauren, my thoughts exactly. Why do the female sex therapist characters always make it through years of education about sex without actually HAVING SEX?
Oooh, A Fine Romance looks so good. Thanks!
@ Lauren – I’ve read one. Dating Dr. Notorious by Donna McDonald.
It’s a series with older women heroines (older heroes too as well).
The Doctor in question finds her reputation and public persona (Dr Sex, I think), cause issues. However, she’s not lacking experience or looking for someone to brush up her skills on. Just wanting a partner. (But it has been a while since I read this.)
Soul Sucker sounds a lot like Nalini Singh’s Bonds of Justice.
The woman on the cover of What a Gentleman Desires looks dead. Or unconscious, at the very least… I’m not comfortable with what the gentleman desires, and I’m not convinced he’s a gentleman…
