  • The Other Daughter

    The Other Daughter by Lauren Willig

    RECOMMENDEDThe Other Daughter by Lauren Willig is $2.99! This is historical fiction with romantic elements and Redheadedgirl gave it an A:

    I like Willig’s writing a lot. It’s not complex; it’s kind of like the hot chocolate of prose. It’s smooth, and it’s classic. That may sound kind of like damning with faint praise, which I’m really not trying to do. There are times when what I want is smooth prose without a lot of flourishes, and Willig always delivers.

    Raised by her widowed mother in genteel poverty in the 1920s in an isolated English village, for the past six years Rachel Woodley has been working in France as a nursery governess. When her mother unexpectedly dies, she returns to England to clear out the cottage, and finds a scrapbook full of cuttings from London society pages—all pictures of her supposedly deceased father, very much alive. He’s an earl, socially prominent, with another daughter who is living a charmed life: a debutante, much photographed, and engaged to a rising Tory MP. Rachel’s cousin confirms the horrible truth: her father is alive, with a legitimate, acknowledged family. Which makes Rachel…not legitimate. Everything she thought she knew about herself and her past—even her very name—is a lie.

    Still reeling from the death of her mother, and furious at this betrayal, Rachel enters into an uneasy alliance with a mysterious man-about-town, who promises her access to her father. With his help, Rachel sets herself up in Roaring Twenties London under a new identity and insinuates herself into the party-going crowd of Bright Young Things, with a steely determination to unveil her father’s perfidy and bring his—and her half-sister’s—charmed world crashing down. Very soon, however, Rachel faces two unexpected snags: she finds she genuinely likes her half-sister, Olivia, whose situation isn’t as simple it appears; and that Rachel herself might just be falling for her sister’s fiancé.

  • Grigori

    Grigori by Lauren Smith

    Grigori by Lauren Smith is $1.99! This is a paranormal romance with dragons! I really like the cover of this one. The mythology of the dragons and their mates has something to do with the heroines being virgins. If you tend to avoid fate mates/virginity tropes, you may want to skip this one!

    He’s one of the last of a powerful but vanishing bloodline …
    Grigori Barinov is the eldest in an ancient line of dragon shifters and the guardian of his family’s lands and fortune. Sworn to protect their history and magic, he won’t rest until he neutralizes any threat to their existence. When he discovers an ancient manuscript that exposes his family and their dragon lineage has fallen into a mortal woman’s hands, he knows he must get the book back by any means necessary. If that means seducing a nosy American woman with an intoxicating scent, he is more than willing to carry her off to his palatial home deep in the heart of Russia.

    She’s the one woman who could expose him to the world…
    Madelyn Haynes has never fit in. As an adopted child she grew up in a loving home but never felt as though she belonged. Plagued by mysterious dreams she’s had of a silver scaled beast ever since she was a little girl, she is convinced dragons are real. While in Russia working on her PhD in mythology in order to escape the ridicule from fellow professors, she unexpectedly crosses paths with the sexy and dominating Grigori, and after just one night with the man whose eyes seem to burn, she starts to change inside. Isolated in the Russian wilderness Grigori calls home, Madelyn can’t help but fall under his sensual spell, yet something deep inside her calls out that she can’t trust him. She has to show the world dragons are real to salvage academic reputation, even if it means costing her the heart of the dragon she’s falling in love with.

  • Dragon Actually

    Dragon Actually by GA Aiken

    Dragon Actually by G.A. Aiken is $1.99! This is the first book in the Dragon Kin series, which many praise for having kickass heroines. It also looks like the book has a new cover. I apparently read this book according to my Goodreads, but I remember next to nothing about it.

    It’s not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear – a lot – or else salute. It’s true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way, she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.

    Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe – a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn’t get any stranger. She’s wrong…

  • When a Marquess Loves a Woman

    When a Marquess Loves a Woman by Vivienne Lorret

    RECOMMENDEDWhen a Marquess Loves a Woman by Vivienne Lorret is 99c! Elyse read this historical romance and gave it an A- and while this is the third book in a series, it can be read as a standalone:

    If you like enemies-to-lovers romance, then you probably want to read When a Marquess Loves a Woman. It’s got all my prerequisites for a good Regency romance–loads of sexual tension, a heroine who owns her shit, and epic sass-battles. Also canoodling in libraries. Also a stock market crash. There’s a lot going on in this book.

    As a young, penniless gentleman, Maxwell Harwick knew he had little to offer Juliet White—the most beautiful debutante of the season—except his love, and one thoroughly scandalous kiss. But when they were discovered in a compromising position, a nearly ruined Juliet fled into the arms of a rich, older lord… taking Max’s heart with her.

    Now a widow, Lady Juliet Granworth intends to use the fortune she inherited from her odious husband to build a new life in London. Five years have passed, but she’s never forgotten Max… or his soul-searing kiss. Yet it’s clear the newly-minted Marquess of Thayne has not forgiven her—after all, the infuriating man can barely stand the sight of her. But Juliet has endured far too much to give up without a fight and if it’s a battle of wills he wants, it’s a battle he’ll get.

    He hates her for breaking his heart. She detests him for destroying her future. But beneath all the loathing simmers an intoxicating passion that neither can ignore… and the harder they resist, the harder they will inevitably fall.

    Love “Dragon Actually” – lots of snark and great characters.

  2. MaryK says:

    From the Grigori description: “She has to show the world dragons are real to salvage academic reputation, even if it means costing her the heart of the dragon she’s falling in love with.”

    So, she’s basically gonna go hunting for something rare and amazing so she can kill it and hang it on a wall. Ugh, no thanks.

  3. RaccoonLady says:

    I love the first 4 books of the GA Aiken series (and I like most of her short stories/novellas in that world) but the last few were just really long and focused less on the primary romance and more on all the other characters. So I didn’t love them as much. But I’d definitely recommend the first ones!!

  4. Bu says:

    I could do with a lot more men cowering in fear or saluting me, honestly. I see no problem with this.

  5. Bu says:

    Wait, are we talking salute, or…salute?

  6. PamG says:

    I bought Grigori at an earlier sale, I think, and I can’t honestly say that I remember squat about it. I read it, but I don’t even know if I finished it. Basically, it was not memorable at all. Just as a point of reference, I adore Dragon Actually. Aiken’s is my favorite Dragon series with What a Dragon Should Know being one of my favorite rereads for comfort & snickers. Gwenvael and Dagmar for the win! Apparently, I take comfort in extremely violent sibling relationships.

  7. Darlynne says:

    Hey, Ren Benton’s TEN THOUSAND HOURS is on sale at Amazon today for .99. I enjoy her comments here so much, now I can read an entire book.

  8. LJBG says:

    Dragon Actually rules. Annwyl is one of my all time fave characters, especially as she develops over the series. How much do I love her? My Wifi is named Annwyl the Bloody.

  9. MsCellanie says:

    I wanted to like Dragon Actually and I kept wanting to like Dragon Actually until I DNF’d it about halfway through. It has a lot of really good elements, but a lot of questionable/bad ones. I feel like there’s a better book with similar plot elements and that frustrates me when I’m reading because I want to read that book – not the one I’m reading.

  10. Diana says:

    When a Marquess Loves a Woman is one of my top three romance novels! I read it all the time. The moment when he’s so anguished he’s in pain and says to her, “this must end one way or the other” just about breaks me every flipping time. How he hates her yet feels her everywhere. The scene with the cake I felt just about to the tips of my toes.

  11. Ren Benton says:

    *whispers* Since Darlynne mentioned it, it’s on sale at all retailers, in every country where I could control the price, good through October 18. *fades away*

  12. flchen1 says:

    Just one-clicked Ren’s Ten Thousand Hours!

  13. Olivia says:

    You can get the entire Lorret series for $5.97 on Amazon…cause I totally did, and I’m really good at enabling.

  14. Egged says:

    BN is having a romance sale for Nook. I picked up a Cat Sebastian novel that successfully got me out of my book slump.

  15. Katie Lynn says:

    Prince’s Gambit by C.S. Pacat is $1.99. It’s the second book in the captive prince trilogy, requires reading the first book.
