    Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

    Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi is $2.99 at Amazon! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and hasn’t been price-matched yet. This book is really adorable and the cover is gorgeous. Readers loved how the friendship between the two awkward main characters unfolded. However, some readers felt the heroine, Penny, was rather unlikeable.

    From debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward glory—perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

    For Penny Lee high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind.

    Sam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him.

    When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.

  • The Goblin King

    The Goblin King by Shona Husk

    The Goblin King by Shona Husk is $2.99 at Amazon! This paranormal romance was mentioned in the comments on our Jareth appreciation post. On Goodreads, many readers loved the interesting concept of goblins over vampires or shifters, but some felt bored by the heroine. The second book is 99c if you want to continue the series.

    Cursed by a Druid millennia ago, Roan lives a bleak existence in the Shadowlands, desperately trying to retain his soul and not succumb to the goblin horde. When a beautiful human summons him to grant a wish, he sees a glimmer of hope. But will she ever agree to be his queen?

    Once upon a time…

    A man was cursed to the Shadowlands, his heart replaced with a cold lump of gold. In legends he became known as The Goblin King.

    For a favored few he will grant a wish. Yet, desperately clinging to his waning human soul, his one own desire remains unfulfilled: A Willing Queen.

    But who would consent to move from the modern-day world into the realm of nightmares? No matter how intoxicating his touch, no matter how deep his valor, loving him is dangerous. And the one woman who might dare to try could also destroy him forever.

  • The Novel Approach

    The Novel Approach by Heather Guimond

    The Novel Approach by Heather Giumond is $2.99 at Amazon! I’m slightly curious about this, but the usage of “clean romance” makes me wary. The heroine is an author of closed door romances, while the hero writes erotic romance. It’s an interesting concept, though my personal catnip would like to see the roles reversed.

    She’s the Sweetheart of Sweet Romance.

    He’s romance’s reigning sex god.

    When the two accidentally collide at a book conference, sparks – and their luggage – fly.

    Stacy Sanders had never heard of Gage Blackstone before.

    If she’d known he was the man everyone called the “king of one-handed reads,” she would have run away as fast as her Prada heels would take her.

    Every woman who’d ever read a romance novel had at least one erotic book penned by him, hidden in her underwear drawer.

    From the moment Stacy caught Gage’s eye, he only thought about messing up her perfect hair and kissing her senseless.

    Stacy never imagined she’d find herself waking up next to him.

    But as soon as he finds out what she writes, it will be him running in the other direction.

    Who would have thought the most novel approach to love would be sweet, spicy, and steaming hot?

  • The Untouchables: 1-3

    The Untouchables: 1-3 by Darcy Burke

    The Untouchables: 1-3 by Darcy Burke is 99c at Amazon! It’s available elsewhere, but it’s price at $9.99. This set includes three historical romance that are 200+ pages each. I believe we’ve featured the first book on sale before, but with this, you’re essentially getting three for the price of one.

    This volume includes the first three books in The Untouchables including; The Forbidden Duke, The Duke of Daring and The Duke of Deception. The first three books in The Untouchables Series feature three “untouchable” bachelor nobles in London Society and the intrepid wallflowers who bring them to their knees…

    The Forbidden Duke

    Spinster Miss Eleanor Lockhart is suddenly homeless and employment is her only option. Ruined after succumbing to a scoundrel’s excessive charm nearly a decade ago, she’s lucky to obtain a position as a paid companion and committed to behaving with the utmost propriety. She definitely shouldn’t be in the arms of a man capable of utterly destroying what little remains of her reputation…

    Titus St. John, Duke of Kendal, is known as the Forbidden Duke, a mysterious, intimidating figure who enters Society just once each year at his stepmother’s ball. A decade ago, he was a devil-may-care rake until his idle roguery brought about the ruin of Eleanor Lockhart—and his resulting self-imposed isolation. Now she’s back, and she needs his help. But by “saving” her, he may just ruin her life all over again.

    The Duke of Daring

    Miss Lucinda Parnell is out of money, a dismal failure at the Marriage Mart, and she’d just as soon leave Society far behind. Desperate to earn funds to retire with her grandmother to the country, Lucy disguises herself as a man to gamble in London’s hells. But the Earl of Dartford, an Untouchable she never imagined speaking to let alone spending time with, is onto her in a trice. When he insists on joining her, Lucy fears her desire to remain an independent woman is destined to go up on flames.

    As a boy, Andrew Wentworth, Earl of Dartford lost his family to illness, leaving him a hollow shell. Obsessed with conquering one adventure after another to fill the bitter holes inside of him, Andrew has set his sights on parachuting. Nothing will stop him from trying to achieve his goal—not the hazard of death and certainly not a woman who’s gotten far too close. Love is the one risk he doesn’t have the heart to dare.

    The Duke of Deception

    After five years on the Marriage Mart, Miss Aquilla Knox is ready for spinsterhood until a benefactress steps in to help her secure a husband. Only Aquilla doesn’t actually want to marry—her failure is entirely on purpose. When the earl she’s nicknamed the Duke of Deception sets his sights on her, she refuses to be drawn in by her attraction to him. If there’s one thing she knows it’s that a gentleman is never what he seems.

    Edward Bishop, Earl of Sutton, has a reputation for courting young misses and dropping them without a second thought. This has earned him a reputation for deceit, a description he can’t refute because he does in fact, harbor secrets and will do anything—deceive anyone—to ensure they don’t come to light. As he comes to know the charming Miss Knox, his resolve is tested. However, trust comes at a price and Ned won’t pay with his heart.

    THE NOVEL APPROACH sounds incredibly regressive, with gendered roles for the male (erotic romance!) and female (closed door romance!) writers—and a heroine who would “run away in her Prada heels” if she knew the hero wrote erotic romance! Gasp—where are my clutchable pearls and smelling salts? Plus, are we still living in a time where women hide their erotica in their underwear drawer? Hard pass for me.

    For a kinda-sorta opposite dynamic, try London Hale’s SINFUL TEMPTATION. Heroine runs an “adult toy” store. Hero is local pastor opposed to the store and what it represents. Sparks fly.

  2. HeatherS says:

    I like the idea of a book convention being included in a romance, but that first person POV is a nope.

    Also, “clean romance” as a descriptor irks me. I may prefer my romances to have more emphasis on sexual tension than on-page sex, but calling it “clean romance” comes off as really icky and judgy of on-page sex in romance (and condemnatory of female sexuality, because how dare women have pantsfeelings, too!).

  3. WS says:

    …Maybe they just take lots of showers and baths? We can hope?

    (In the scheme of things, my OTP is me+bathtub-filled-with-bubble-bath, so it could totally work.)

  4. HeatherS says:

    Also on my TBR is “Covet Thy Neighbor” by L.A. Witt, an m/m romance between a tattoo parlor owner and his neighbor… who just happens to have moved to town to be a pastor at a local church.

    I really love queer romance that explores a character’s relationship with faith, because as a bi woman of faith, I feel like I get beat up by both religious people and the queer community; can’t be a real Muslim and bi, can’t be a real bi and be Muslim. Maybe one day I will write a romance myself, since I have yet to find one that really speaks to what I am searching for.

  5. DiscoDollyDeb says:

    @HeatherS: Sarah MacLean always says she started writing romance so she could read the book she always wanted to read but no one else had written.

  6. Ren Benton says:

    @DiscoDollyDeb: Many (most?) writers say that. A whole lotta books are born from reading-related frustration. (Or, as I say because I’m classy, “Every book is a fuck-you to somebody.”)

    @HeatherS: If you have the time and the willingness, go for it. You’re not alone in needing that story to be told.

  7. Erica says:

    Is it just me, or does the cover model on The Novel Approach seem to be much larger than the tub he’s squeezed into? Or maybe my sense of perspective is off today?

  8. Heather Greye says:

    @DiscoDollyDeb – thanks for the rec. Took me a minute to find on Amazon – it’s been retitled Sinner. Looking forward to reading it.

  9. Kareni says:

    @Erica, I think he may be wearing a swim ring and some tulle; it’s a novel approach!

  10. batgirl says:

    Is anyone else hung up on the concept of Regency-era parachuting? Where is he parachuting from, the hot-air balloon from Frederica?
    I won’t be finding out because I am boycotting Duke books unless the Duke is an aged gouty secondary character.

  11. QOTU says:

    I got a great deal on Kindle Unlimited on Prime Day. Should still be on offer though tomorrow, but I think yoy can’t be a current user

  12. Rachel L says:

    The first chapter of the Goblin King was unbelievably gross, I never read farther than that. As I recall, the heroine summoned him somehow while passed out drunk, and the chapter was mostly the “hero” gloating about how he now got to kidnap, and, it was heavily implied, rape her.

  13. Jamie Rosen says:

    Isn’t the cover model on the Goblin King one of the Winchester boys?

  14. Dorothea says:

    @batgirl: I share your irritation at both those points!

  15. Ziska says:

    @batgirl: iirc people jumped from towers first with parachutes (in the first recorded test of one rather than just renaissance ideas), and then indeed from balloons. There were some dog tests too. It started in the 1780s and people survived these too. I think there were a handful of experiments (it started in France, I don’t know about Britain), so considering the enduring appeal of extreme sports the number of parachuters might well have been higher than the number of actual dukes pretty soon after it proved to be viable…

  16. PamG says:

    I read Goblin King when it came out and disliked it enough to avoid works by the author ever since. iirc, it wasn’t a content issue for me, but problems with the writing style. I found it wooden and lacking in character development, though the concept was fairly original. I prefer Kresley Cole when I’m in the mood for angsty monsters.
