The Ones Who Got Away
RECOMMENDED: The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren is $1.99! The second book is available for $2.99. This romance came out in January and I really enjoyed it and its portrayal of people living with trauma. I gave it a B+, but as it deals with victims of gun violence, I completely understand why readers may want to avoid it.
If the subject matter doesn’t scare you off and your catnip is friends to lovers, slow burn-y goodness, The Ones Who Got Away is highly worth the read.
It’s been twelve years since tragedy struck the senior class of Long Acre High School. Only a few students survived that fateful night—a group the media dubbed The Ones Who Got Away.
Liv Arias thought she’d never return to Long Acre—until a documentary brings her and the other survivors back home. Suddenly her old flame, Finn Dorsey, is closer than ever, and their attraction is still white-hot. When a searing kiss reignites their passion, Liv realizes this rough-around-the-edges cop might be exactly what she needs…

Bedmates
Bedmates by Nichole Chase is $1.99! I talked about this book in October 2016’s Hide Your Wallet and it’s an enemies to friends to lovers romance. Readers say this romance is definitely on the sweeter side of new adult, so if you’re looking for a lot of angst, this book isn’t for you.
From the bestselling author of Suddenly Royal comes the first in a sparkling new series about America’s favorite royal—the First Daughter.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.
Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.
When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.

Wild Wicked Scot
Wild Wicked Scot by Julia London is $1.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in the Highland Grooms series, which came out late last year. The hero and heroine are already married through a marriage of convenience, and many loved the hero. However, some found some inconsistency issues in the romance. Have you read this one?
Wicked intrigue unfolds as an unlikely marriage leads to a path of risky desire in the lush, green Scottish Highlands.
Born into riches and groomed in English luxury, Margot Armstrong didn’t belong in a Scottish chieftain’s devil-may-care world. Three years ago she fled their marriage of convenience and hasn’t looked back—except to relive the moments spent in wild, rugged Arran McKenzie’s passionate embrace. But as their respective countries’ fragile unity threatens to unravel, Margot must return to her husband to uncover his role in the treachery before her family can be accused of it.
Red-haired, green-eyed Margot was Arran’s beautiful bride. Her loss has haunted him, but her return threatens everything he has gained. As the Highland mists carry whispers of an English plot to seize McKenzie territory, he must outmaneuver her in games of espionage…and seduction. But even as their secrets tangle together, there’s nothing to prevent love from capturing them both and leading them straight into danger.

Don’t Speak
Don’t Speak by Katy Regnery is 99c! This is part of the Modern Fairytale series and is based off The Little Mermaid. Readers warn that the book is rather slowly paced, while others recommend this for fans of emotional second chance romances.
In this modern retelling of The Little Mermaid, a fisherman’s daughter from an Outer Banks island untouched by time, meets the son of the North Carolina governor at a fancy party where she is working.
Laire, who wants more from life than her little island can offer, is swept away by wealthy, sophisticated Erik, who is, in turn, entranced by her naiveté and charm. The two spend a whirlwind summer together that ends on the knife-point of heartbreak and forces them to go their separate ways.
Years later, when fate finds them together once again, they will discover the terrifying depth of the secrets they kept from each other, and learn that shattered hearts can only be healed by a love that willfully refuses to die.

Treat yourselves to that Roni Loren book. I enjoyed it immensely, but I prefer intense to frothy.
tw: gun violence mentions
I’m from Vegas, and October 1 left a huge mark on us. I remember not sleeping that night, checking on friends and the news frantically. I cancelled class but felt sick worrying about whether any of my students were there. Slowly we heard about folks who were affected – my best friends childhood friend, my friend who left just minutes before, my friend who somehow survived, our office assistant, one of our students. And so many more.
I worried The Ones Who Got Away would trivialize the issue or the pain. But the book was incredibly moving and respectful of the survivors. It dealt with the issue carefully and both acknowledged the trauma the characters had, AND that they’re more than that.
I loved it and am so excited to read the sequel.
