His Scandalous Kiss

His Scandalous Kiss by Sophie Barnes is $1.99! Readers loved the masquerade ball and Phantom of the Opera elements, but found that the external conflict slowed down the romance. This is the third book in the Secrets at Thorncliff Manor series, though it can be read as a standalone.
Thorncliff Manor is the perfect setting for a masquerade ball… where the heart’s secret desires are about to be uncovered in this scintillating Regency romance from Sophie Barnes…
Richard Heartly has exiled himself from society since the war, plotting his revenge for a terrible betrayal. A masked ball at Thorncliff Manor is intended to be a brief diversion. Instead, he encounters a fascinating young woman as entranced by the music as he is. He can’t reveal his identity to Lady Mary. But her siren song keeps drawing him back, and their clandestine meetings could be hazardous to his plan—and to her virtue.
Avoiding an unwanted marriage was easy when Lady Mary was ignored by the ton. Thanks to her dazzling appearance at the masquerade, she’s a wallflower no longer. Eligible suitors abound, yet the only man she wants is the brooding, seductive companion who keeps his face hidden. A man who tempts her to disclose her own shocking secret, one that could divide them forever.

Anton by Brenda Rothert is 99c! This book has been making the rounds in the comments section because of the cover and I feel like it’s my duty to make sure everyone else is aware. Readers say this hockey romance has a very slow, slow burn. Have you read this one?
He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all.
Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost.
A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost.

My Fair Lily by Meara Platt is 99c! Yes, that is an Old English Sheepdog (or as I like to call them The Little Mermaid dog) on the cover. If you like that breed, definitely check out Rocco Roni on Instagram. Some thought the character development needed some work, but others loved the science-loving, scholarly heroine. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads and other books in the series are on sale.
Ewan Cameron, estranged grandson of the Duke of Lotheil, is in London because of a deathbed promise made to his father and has no intention of staying beyond his three month obligation. Nothing can tempt him to remain, not even Lily, the beautiful bluestocking determined not only to restore relations between him and his grandfather, but to turn Ewan into a proper gentleman. Ewan, proud of his Scottish heritage, refuses to admit that Lily, a blue-eyed, English girl, has claimed his heart. It doesn’t matter that his big lump of a sheepdog is madly in love with her. Nor is it significant that Ewan can always tell Lily apart from her identical twin sister. Always.
Lily Farthingale, the scholarly twin, dreams of becoming the first female member of the Royal Society. She grabs at the chance when the elderly Duke of Lotheil approaches her with a proposition – he’ll admit her into the Royal Society, if she helps him to establish a relation with his estranged grandson, Ewan Cameron, a very rough-around-the-edges Scotsman who hates everything English. Between shootings, explosions, and Lily’s abduction, Ewan ends up falling in love with Lily in this Pygmalion-inspired story.

It’s Only Temporary by Megan Bryce is 99c at Amazon! This collection contains the entire Temporary Engagement series: 4 full-length contemporary romances. They books can be read in any order of your choosing.
Four stories of men who will do whatever it takes- endless chocolate, a closet full of shoes, unfortunate tattoos- to make it anything but temporary.
Some Like It Charming
Mackenzie Wyatt believes in two things: herself and her plan. And her plan is to keep her head down and to work hard until she can retire. Never mind that she doesn’t know what she’ll do once she retires– at least she won’t be working for the man anymore. Because even though he’s a gorgeous man, he’s still her boss and he likes to push her buttons.Ethan Howell O’Connor’s charmed life comes to a screeching halt after his latest ex-girlfriend starts a fashionable trend in talking to the tabloids. Now all of Ethan’s old girlfriends are talking to the press, ruining his reputation, and wiping that charming smile right off his face. The only person who can brighten his black mood is the same person who can annoy him to kingdom come. He and Mackenzie have feuded since the day she was hired but now Ethan’s starting to realize: maybe those sparks were hiding a blazing fire.
Mackenzie’s about to find out that sometimes a gorgeous man can come up with a plan all his own, and it’s a given that it’ll mess hers up.
Some Like It Ruthless
A woman as cold as Texas is hot; a man who has never belonged. Two hard people who will never bend, never yield…but they just might be able to make a deal.Margaret Caldwell knows what it means to beg. She’s been there, done that, won’t wear the t-shirt. And, in fact, won’t beg again- no matter how desperately her family business needs help. Because she knows what it means to be betrayed. Knows how it feels to have her still-beating heart ripped out of her chest, leaving only an empty hole behind.
The son of a ruthless upstart, Cole Montgomery trampled on everyone and everything on his way to the top. Including his one and only friend. He knows Maggie will never forgive him but he’ll help her anyway. Because it might be a few years too late but Cole has finally figured out what’s important. Now if only he can figure out how to start over…
Some Like It Perfect
A woman who has nothing, Delia Woodson is desperate. That’s why she agrees to it. Because she’s a painter, no one is buying her paintings, and she’s desperate. She has bills to pay, food to buy. Someday she might actually want to live in her own apartment instead of on her friend’s couch. And all she has to do is paint baby-faced angels on an indecently rich, corporate shill’s ceiling. Because, he just can’t think of any other way to spend his money? And she just can’t think of any other way to make it.A man who wants for nothing, Jack Cabot doesn’t want the mural his mother has commissioned for his office ceiling. He doesn’t want the distraction, he doesn’t want the silliness. He doesn’t want the artist now spending her days ten feet above his head. The artist with paint in her hair, distracting him. Bickering with him. Amusing him, until…Jack discovers he does want something after all.
Some Like It Hopeless
In love with her gay best friend since forever, Cassandra Spencer has accepted that not everyone can have the fairy tale. Not everyone can have marriage and children and the same last name. But she has Shane, and she loves him and he loves her…until he falls in love with someone else. Someone nothing like Cassandra; someone she can never accept.Brady Roberts destroyed his whole world and there will be no forgiveness. No end to his guilt and pain. He exists day to day until he tangles with a woman who just won’t let him. A woman who believes that life is meant to be lived, no matter how hard it is. No matter how much it hurts. No matter how hopeless. Because sometimes, hopeless doesn’t have to mean alone. And sometimes, hopeless isn’t the end.

I’ll repost my WAYR comment here:
The cover model of ANTON is my favorite, Zack Salaun, whom I have dubbed, “king of the soulful-sexy-scruffy-hot look” (copyright: DiscoDollyDeb). He tends to show up on a lot of “dark romance” covers and is easily identified by his distinctive tattoos, messy hair, and scruffy beard. In fact, he looks comparatively polished on the cover of ANTON.
As a warning for others, the heroine in Anton has an abusive husband, who the hero tracks down and beats up, so it’s pretty violence heavy
I have not read Anton, but will admit that it found its way willingly on to my TBR when I first saw it because of the cover.
@Irene Headley, while the abuse is something that can be inferred from the blurb, the info about the beat down is appreciated. If the cover hadn’t already sold me, that plot point certainly would.
I’d say slow burn for sure in ANTON, primarily because Mia is still married and isn’t about to hop into a relationship with anyone, her focus being work and her son. The husband is an abusive asshat, emotional blackmail IIRC. There’s nice chemistry between Mia and Anton, and, of course, that cover. Great googly moogly.
@DonnaMarie, SAME

I know nothing about this book, but it came up when I managed to tear my eyes away from the Anton cover, and I think I might like it better.
Oh. The “Anton” cover is beautiful. I’m not into hockey, the description doesn’t sound like my cup of tea, but it’s almost worth it just to stare at that cover…
I found Muslim romances! Namely, “Aisha” by Ikhlas Hussain, about a Pakistani woman who works as a matchmaker (her business is called The Islamic Marriage Bureau) and who has to re-evaluate everything she knows about love, men, and her own prejudices and challenge cultural expectations when she falls for a non-Pakistani convert. $3.99 on Kindle, which I know isn’t really the sale threshold, but I figured I’d share it anyway.
“Awakened By Love” by Azin Sametipour is $0.99 on Amazon. An Iranian American woman falls for a non-Muslim American man.
@HeatherS: Thanks so much for mentioning these books. Both sound interesting and the reviews are good.
@HeatherS I read Aisha when it was in Kindle Unlimited and really liked it. I would definitely buy it for 3.99.
I just read “Penalty Box” by Odette Stone. A hockey romance with a sexy Russian who is forced to marry because of ties to the Russian mafia. It was a good read and it’s a KU book.
The fourth book (Some Like it Hopeless) in the Megan Bryce 4 pack was horrible. I have it and am sceptical about her other books because of that one.
It featured a TSTL heroine that felt she couldn’t change her life. Also she was in love with her gay best friend who was in a committed relationship. He asked her to have a baby for he and his partner/husband(?). She agreed. Why was she still mooning over him??? Did she really think he would leave his husband? Why torture herself and live across the street from them? It was almost a DNF for me.
Do some women think if they have a baby for a gay couple one of the men will suddenly fall in love with them and not be gay? Was this based on a real life experience? I wanted to reach in the book and smack the heroine or yell at her that “your best friend is not attracted to women. What part of that do you not understand?”
Sorry for ranting. I really hated the heroine and didn’t care if she ended up finding love.
