  • The Girl with the Red Balloon

    The Girl with the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke

    The Girl with the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke is 99c! This is a pretty new release and I mentioned how excited I was about it in a previous Hide Your Wallet. Reviewers on Goodreads recommend this title for fans of magical realism, but some felt the heroine was a bit boring.

    When sixteen-year-old Ellie Baum accidentally time-travels via red balloon to 1988 East Berlin, she’s caught up in a conspiracy of history and magic. She meets members of an underground guild in East Berlin who use balloons and magic to help people escape over the Wall—but even to the balloon makers, Ellie’s time travel is a mystery. When it becomes clear that someone is using dark magic to change history, Ellie must risk everything—including her only way home—to stop the process.

  • Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed

    Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed by Anna Campbell

    Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed by Anna Campbell is $1.99! This is the first book in the Sons of Sin series and has some heavy Beauty and the Beast vibes. Some readers felt this was a beautiful, emotional romance, but some felt the second half was more interesting than the first.

    Will a week of seduction…

    Desperate to save her sister’s life, Sidonie Forsythe has agreed to submit herself to a terrible fate: Beyond the foreboding walls of Castle Craven, a notorious, hideously scarred scoundrel will take her virtue over the course of seven sinful nights. Yet instead of a monster, she encounters a man like no other. And during this week, she comes to care for Jonas Merrick in ways that defy all logic—even as a dark secret she carries threatens them both.

    …Spark a lifetime of passionate surrender?

    Ruthless loner Jonas knows exactly who he is. Should he forget, even for a moment, the curse he bears, a mere glance in the mirror serves as an agonizing reminder. So when the lovely Sidonie turns up on his doorstep, her seduction is an even more delicious prospect than he originally planned. But the hardened outcast is soon moved by her innocent beauty, sharp wit, and surprising courage. Now as dangerous enemies gather at the gate to destroy them, can their new, fragile love survive?

  • A Merciful Death

    A Merciful Death by Kendra Elliot

    A Merciful Death by Kendra Elliot is $1.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in the Mercy Kilpatrick series and it’s a romantic suspense. I’m really interested in this series because the heroine is trying to hide the fact that she grew up in a family of severe doomsday preppers.

    FBI special agent Mercy Kilpatrick has been waiting her whole life for disaster to strike. A prepper since childhood, Mercy grew up living off the land—and off the grid—in rural Eagle’s Nest, Oregon. Until a shocking tragedy tore her family apart and forced her to leave home. Now a predator known as the cave man is targeting the survivalists in her hometown, murdering them in their homes, stealing huge numbers of weapons, and creating federal suspicion of a possible domestic terrorism event. But the crime scene details are eerily familiar to an unsolved mystery from Mercy’s past.

    Sent by the FBI to assist local law enforcement, Mercy returns to Eagle’s Nest to face the family who shunned her while maintaining the facade of a law-abiding citizen. There, she meets police chief Truman Daly, whose uncle was the cave man’s latest victim. He sees the survivalist side of her that she desperately tries to hide, but if she lets him get close enough to learn her secret, she might not survive the fallout…

  • Given Away

    Given Away by Briar Lane

    Given Away by Briar Lane is 99c! This is a friends to lovers contemporary lesbian romance and is on the shorter side (180 pages). It seems like there’s an element of cheating, if you tend to avoid that element. Readers mentioned the book needed some tighter editing (in 2017, so it could have been updated since then). However, others recommend this for a quick, sweet, and sexy read.

    She’s been my best friend forever and I’m so excited to share this time in my life with her! 

    Me and Catie have done everything together since we were young. She’s my absolute best friend. We went to the same college together, were roommates, moved to the same city after college. Now that we’re both engaged and planning our weddings, we spend even more time together than before.

    But sometimes I wonder if that’s a good thing. I find myself gravitating toward Catie for everything. She is my confidant, the one person in this world I know I can trust. But now that we’re both getting married, shouldn’t my future husband, Brad, be the one I turn to?

    Should I cut back on spending time with Catie?

    I don’t know what I’d do without her.

    Anya is really excited for this next phase of our lives. But to me, getting married only sounds like growing apart. And the last thing I want is to distant myself from Anya. The more distant I am from her, the more noticeable my lack of feelings for my fiance become.

    I’m more excited for our combined Bachelorette weekend in Vegas than I am about my actual wedding. I know, that’s wrong. Something in my relationship isn’t working and I’ll eventually have to face it. But, for now, I just want to enjoy my time with my best friend.

    Without Anya, I’m not sure what my life would become.

    This is a standalone lesbian romance novel with HEA ending!

  1. I’m currently listening to the newest Mercy Kilpatrick book, and while I don’t enjoy some of the authors other works to the level I like Mercy (some of the other books focus way too much on ‘strong female secretly needs man with less training and a cowboy hat to tell her what to do.) (note; the hat thing IS in the Mercy books but Truman manages not to have an “inner caveman” to trigger my gag reflex) but yeah; this rises above her earlier stuff and the characters are nuanced and complex, and the way they handle the lifestyles in the area is nice, I think. I mean you probably will join me in wanting to give her father a kick in the boxers pretty much every possible chance, but I appreciate that too in a weird way.

  2. MirandaB says:

    Trigger warning for rape and torture in the Mercy Kilpatrick book.

  3. Darlynne says:

    “Me and Catie.” Was this an intentional choice by the author or am I just old enough to have grown up when Timmy’s mom always corrected him and even Lassie knew better. God, I’m old.

  4. Ren Benton says:

    @Darlynne: That’s okay. I was reading the sample and muttering, “Golly! This is! A lot! Of exclamation points!” We can be old and crotchety together.

  5. Tina says:

    Craven means coward. I’ll see myself out.

  6. Susan says:

    I’m joining the Crotchety Club, too, because I immediately ran down here to bitch about “me and Catie.” I can’t read a book that has that right in the blurb, ffs.

  7. Susan says:

    ^Plus, the author’s “name” is Briar Lane? That’s what you came up with? Was Primrose Path already taken? (I’m apparently very cranky today.)

  8. Kareni says:

    Joining the crotchety club with this entry, “And the last thing I want is to distant myself from Anya.”
    I’m distancing myself from the book!

  9. Darlynne says:

    I heart this group so much (no exclamation points). @Kareni: I didn’t even get that far, maximum effort on your part. Lassie was barking and I couldn’t read any more.

  10. Teev says:

    Who writes promo blurbs? Is it the author? I’ve more than once dismissed a book with a badly written blurb, then heard a bunch of glowing recs and decided to try it anyway, and found the writing of the book is nothing like the blurb. Interns?

  11. Ren Benton says:

    @Teev: This particular book is self-published, so the author most likely wrote the blurb herself.

    In trad pub, it’s usually a collaborative effort developed from whatever pitch the author used to convince agents and editors to look at it. Author, agent, editor, marketing, and various assistants might be involved in kicking it around, depending how much attention the book is being given. Somebody at the publisher has the final word, though.

  12. Mary says:

    I also enjoy the Mercy series. They’re all on Kindle Unlimited (last time I checked) which is how I got into them. Mercy is a practical but interesting heroine and I agree with what Heather said about her relationship with Truman. I’m kind of lukewarm on starting this next book in the series, though I downloaded it the day it came out. It seems I feel that way upon starting each of them but by the middle I am hooked and turning pages rapidly. I find the prepper element in each book really interesting too.

  13. Katie C. says:

    Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed gave me all the feels and is very much in the mode of Beauty and the Beast tropes. There is a significant power differential – the heroine’s sister owes the hero money (gambling debt). The hero agrees to take his payment in sex, but for reasons the heroine takes her place instead. If that squicks you out steer clear.

  14. PASn says:

    the given away cover is… odd? I’m getting some uncanny valley vibes off of the gal on the left.

  15. Karen H near Tampa says:

    Another reader (and former English major) who will not buy a book (even a free one) if the blurb is so poorly written I can’t get through a whole sentence without cringing. It may not reflect the actual book but I’m not going to bother to find out.

  16. Teev says:

    @Ren Benton: Well that blows my theory that all the blurbs in the romance hero’s first person POV were written by a guy in a basement somewhere who keeps mixing up his manifesto and his blurb folders. “All the women want me because I’m so rich and so good at teh sex. Except for her. I will find out her secret and then I will have her.” Eep. I never click on those books.

  17. Sarah says:

    Just a heads up that Beverly Jenkins’ Destiny’s trio is 1.99 on kindle.
