  • Wilde in Love

    Wilde in Love by Eloisa James

    Wilde in Love by Eloisa James is $1.99! This is the first book in The Wildes of Lindow Castle. Some readers DNF-ed this on Goodreads citing lack of chemistry between the characters or boredom. However, other fans of James  were excited about this new series. Which camp are you in?

    Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father’s castle, but just as he grasps that he’s not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty, Miss Willa Ffynche.

    Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper.

    Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own . . . until he meets Willa. He’s never lost a battle.

    But a spirited woman like Willa isn’t going to make it easy. . . .

    The first book in Eloisa James’s dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm—and introduces a large, eccentric family. Readers will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!

  • The Immortals

    The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky

    The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky is $1.99 or $2.99 depending on the vendor! It’s also a Kindle Daily Deal. This is the first book in the Olympus Unbound. Sarah gave the first book a B grade. I highly recommend reading Sarah’s review to get a full sense of whether this book may be for you.

    When I started reading it, I had a really difficult time putting it down. The world building made for addictive reading, even when I was reading things I usually don’t read.

    MANHATTAN HAS MANY SECRETS.
    SOME ARE OLDER THAN THE CITY ITSELF.

    Manhattan.
    The city sleeps. Selene DiSilva walks her dog along the banks of the Hudson. She is alone-just the way she likes it. She doesn’t believe in friends, and she doesn’t speak to her family. Most of them are simply too dangerous.

    Murders.
    In the predawn calm, Selene finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns. And so does the memory of a promise she made long ago. To protect the innocent-and to punish those who stands in her way.

    Gods.
    With the NYPD out of its depth, Selene vows to hunt the killer on her own. But when classics professor Theo Schultz decodes the ancient myth behind the crime, the solitary Huntress finds herself working with a man who’s her opposite in every way. Together, they face a long-forgotten cult that lies behind a string of murders, and they’ll need help from the one source Selene distrusts most of all: the city’s other Immortals.

  • An Unnatural Vice

    An Unnatural Vice by K.J. Charles

    An Unnatural Vice by KJ Charles is $1.99 at select vendors! For many, Charles is an autobuy author because of the fantastic world building and romantic tension. The main complaints for this book in particular is that it lagged in some spots. Have you read this one?

    In the sordid streets of Victorian London, unwanted desire flares between two bitter enemies brought together by a deadly secret.

    Crusading journalist Nathaniel Roy is determined to expose spiritualists who exploit the grief of bereaved and vulnerable people. First on his list is the so-called Seer of London, Justin Lazarus. Nathaniel expects him to be a cheap, heartless fraud. He doesn’t expect to meet a man with a sinful smile and the eyes of a fallen angel—or that a shameless swindler will spark his desires for the first time in years.

    Justin feels no remorse for the lies he spins during his séances. His gullible clients simply bore him. Hostile, disbelieving, utterly irresistible Nathaniel is a fascinating challenge. And as their battle of wills and wits heats up, Justin finds he can’t stop thinking about the man who’s determined to ruin him.

    But Justin and Nathaniel are linked by more than their fast-growing obsession with one another. They are both caught up in an aristocratic family’s secrets, and Justin holds information that could be lethal. As killers, fanatics, and fog close in, Nathaniel is the only man Justin can trust—and, perhaps, the only man he could love.

  • The Girl Who Knew Too Much

    The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick

    PODCAST RECOMMENDEDThe Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick is $1.99! This is the first book in the Burning Cove series, and is a historical romance with a bit of mystery. Author Sara Flynn/Meg Tilly recommended this one on a previous podcast episode, though some reviews on Goodreads mention that the pacing is off at times.

    When Hollywood moguls and stars want privacy, they head to an idyllic small town on the coast, where the exclusive Burning Cove Hotel caters to their every need. It’s where reporter Irene Glasson finds herself staring down at a beautiful actress at the bottom of a pool…

    The dead woman had a red-hot secret about up-and-coming leading man Nick Tremayne, a scoop that Irene couldn’t resist—especially since she’s just a rookie at a third-rate gossip rag. But now Irene’s investigation into the drowning threatens to tear down the wall of illusion that is so deftly built around the famous actor, and there are powerful men willing to do anything to protect their investment.

    Seeking the truth, Irene finds herself drawn to a master of deception. Oliver Ward was once a world-famous magician—until he was mysteriously injured during his last performance. Now the owner of the Burning Cove Hotel, he can’t let scandal threaten his livelihood, even if it means trusting Irene, a woman who seems to have appeared in Los Angeles out of nowhere four months ago…

    With Oliver’s help, Irene soon learns that the glamorous paradise of Burning Cove hides dark and dangerous secrets. And that the past—always just out of sight—could drag them both under…

    I always, always think that Eloisa James series is about Oscar Wilde. Just seems so strange to me to pick that as a family name if there’s no reference to him in the books – is there, for anyone who’s read it?

  2. JILL Q. says:

    I liked Wilde in Love, although there is some insensitive handling of a woman being mentally ill (and yes, I know that is historically accurate I just think if you’re writing for a contemporary audience, you can be a bit more subtle). I’ve found the series as whole hit or miss, especially since Eloisa James is always trying to weave a lot of upcoming characters into books, some that I like and some that I don’t.

  3. DonnaMarie says:

    The Immortals is definitely an above average read. And her side kick is a classic studies professor, so there’s that.

  4. Katie Lynn says:

    I liked the KJ Charles, there’s a nice mystery element to it that carries over into the next book. It probably makes more sense if you’ve read the first in the series, but Charles does a good job of explaining things that it’s possible you’d be okay without it, but I really liked the first so I recommend it anyway.

  5. Todd says:

    K.J. Charles is an auto-buy for me; I enjoyed this series – the romances, the mystery, more-or-less happy endings.

  6. Elizabeth says:

    I wanted to love The Girl Who Knew Too Much, but the treatment of mental illness really put me off. I get that the book is set in a time when people were mostly ignorant about it, but it still really bothered me to see asylum patients portrayed as creepy, dangerous background elements rather than real people.

  7. MsCellanie says:

    Wilde in Love was just not good. It was boring, the heroine was an idiot, and the hero was a “Pick Up Artist” ahead of his time.
    Here’s my version of the scene where they meet-

    W – I am very beautiful and very popular
    A – I am very beautiful and very popular. Also, I am wearing a funny hat. I’m Mystery Alaric
    W – You are very beautiful and very popular. And you are giving me pants feelings. I am confused, because while I am very beautiful and very popular I thought I would fall in love with someone ugly and unpopular.
    A – I am going to insult you now.
    W – Here is my best friend.
    BF – Here are my breasts!
    A – Aha! your friend is very beautiful and very popular, too! And she has really big breasts. Yours are smaller. Negged! I’m still wearing a silly hat.
    W – Her breasts are supposed to confuse you.
    A – They are confusing to my silly hat. Here’s my best friend. He’s very beautiful and very popular, too.
    BF2 – I am also sullen for no good reason. Apparently, it is not enough for me to be beautiful and popular and go completely unslighted in public. I’m still inexplicably pouty.
    BF – I still have breasts!
    BF2 – I’m going to sulk in a corner.
    BF – My breasts and I are going to console him. Aside to reader: we have a sequel coming.
    A: I will call you by an insulting nickname now.
    W: I do not like the nickname.
    A: I’m going to keep using it as a compliance test. .
    W: Oh, I guess I’ll let you call me that.
    A: Now, why don’t my friend, your friend and her breasts, you, and I head off to a second location where I can continue to ignore your boundaries away from any chaperones. I will pick out a new silly hat.
    W: But I don’t want to.
    A: But, , I want to. I am very beautiful and very popular
    W: All right. Also, I’m very beautiful and very popular.

    At this point, I DNF’d it. (There was also another sequel bait couple who were even worse than the one above) I think I’ve liked some of her past books, but this was unreadable.

  8. Lola belloli says:

    @MsCellanie- I had zero interest in this book but now I want to know about the silly hat.

  9. Tam says:

    @MsCellanie – I am reminded why this is the only website why I always, always read the comments.

  10. Tam says:

    *where, not why! No posting before coffee!

  11. MaryK says:

    @Elizabeth – I don’t remember anything about an asylum in The Girl Who Knew Too Much. It’s set in 1930’s California. Are you sure that’s the book you’re thinking of?

  12. Elizabeth says:

    @MaryK
    Sorry, you’re right, I’m thinking of the sequel, The Other Lady Vanishes!

  13. MaryK says:

    @Elizabeth – Oh, okay. I haven’t read that one yet.
