  • A Study in Scarlet Women

    A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas

    RECOMMENDED: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas is $2.99! Both Sarah and Carrie read this book and enjoyed it.

    Sarah gave it a B+:  I haven’t shut up about this book since I finished it. My outbound text messages are mostly hollering, squeeing, and long strings of vowels about this book.

    I’m so excited this book exists. I’m so excited that I got to read it. I’m so excited there will be more.

    Carrie gave it B: I can’t WAIT to find out what Charlotte, Livia, and Mrs. Watson are up to. I hope it involves them being protective of each other, empowering, and smart. The excitement is palpable!

    USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas turns the story of the renowned Sherlock Holmes upside down…

    With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper class society.  But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.

    When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her. But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.

  • Kill the Farm Boy

    Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah Dawson

    Kill the Farm Boy by Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson is $2.99! Readers say that this is a light-hearted, slightly goofy book a la Terry Pratchett, but some found it tried too hard in its silliness. The third book in the series is out this October and I wonder if this is a series that finds its footing as the series progresses.

    In an irreverent new series in the tradition of Terry Pratchett novels and The Princess Bride, the New York Times bestselling authors of the Iron Druid Chronicles and Star Wars: Phasmareinvent fantasy, fairy tales, and floridly written feast scenes.

    Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a hero, the Chosen One, was born . . . and so begins every fairy tale ever told.

    This is not that fairy tale.

    There is a Chosen One, but he is unlike any One who has ever been Chosened.

    And there is a faraway kingdom, but you have never been to a magical world quite like the land of Pell.

    There, a plucky farm boy will find more than he’s bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower. First there’s the Dark Lord who wishes for the boy’s untimely death . . . and also very fine cheese. Then there’s a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, the Dread Necromancer Steve, and a strange and wondrous journey to the most peculiar “happily ever after” that ever once-upon-a-timed.

  • The Bashful Bride

    The Bashful Bride by Vanessa Riley

    The Bashful Bride by Vanessa Riley is 99c! This is a standalone historical romance and the second book in the Advertisements for Love series. The pairing of a shy heiress and famous actor really intrigues me. Readers loved the historical research and accuracy, but found there was a bit of repetition of events.

    A friend’s newspaper advertisement for a groom nets the most famous actor in London, Arthur Bex. Shy heiress Ester Croome proposes to elope with the handsome man, who she’s secretly loved for two years, in order to escape an impending engagement arranged by her overbearing family.

    Trying to outlive the shadow of his villainous uncle, Bex needs to marry quickly–to a woman of good character. And smart, beautiful Ester fits the bill. But a harrowing trip to Gretna Green and dangerous abolition rallies prove to be a more treacherous stage than either imagined. Infatuation and a mutual love for Shakespeare might not be enough to bind a couple looking to outrun the chains and secrets of family and the past.

  • The Affair

    The Affair by Maya Banks

    The Affair by Maya Banks is $1.99! This was released in 2009 under the title The Tycoon’s Secret Affair. In true tycoon-centric category romance form, there is a secret baby. This is the third book in The Anetakis Tycoons series and we’ve featured the other books on sale previously.

    The reader favorite story of a boss’s big surprise from #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Maya Banks, originally published as The Tycoon’s Secret Affair in 2009.

    It was only supposed to be a vacation romance: passionate, exciting—and short-lived. But when Jewel Henley arrived for her first day of work at a new job, she realized her exotic lover was in fact Piers Anetakis, her boss. A boss who had a strict rule about not getting involved with his employees. Before she knew it, Jewel found herself without a job…and pregnant.

    Now, five months later, Piers finally tracks down his one-night lover. Determined to explain the mistakes he made, he is confronted with an undeniable truth: Jewel is carrying his child. The only honorable solution is to marry. Yet is there more between them than lust? Because attentive as he is, Jewel knows he still doesn’t trust her. And until he does, all they have…is an affair.

    I’m fairly sure it’s been recommended here before, so I thought I’d mention that The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal is on sale at Amazon today for $2.99. It won the Hugo for Best Novel! It’s fabulous!!

  2. Kit says:

    Rather put off by Maya Banks but probably because the first book I read of hers was “Mastered”.

  3. Kelly Jo says:

    I personally like Maya Banks books. I have not read Mastered.

  4. Michelle says:

    @ Kit

    It’s not just Mastered.

  5. Cristie says:

    Simone St. James The Broken Girls is on sale at Amazon for 1.99.

  6. Joy says:

    Personally I really like reworkings of Sherlock Holmes. Sherry Thomas’ A Study in Scarlet Women is an intriguing version of the traditional SH mystery. If you like women with agency this is a version for you. Very little romance in this but I’m sure many SB will like this.
