Last Night with the Earl
RECOMMENDED: Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen is $1.99! I so loved this book and gave it an A-. This is the second book in the Devils of Dover series, but can be read out of order (I did).
For readers who love slow burn historicals that have a focus on emotional healing, I can’t push this into your hands or onto your e-readers fast enough.
After Waterloo, Eli Dawes, Earl of Rivers, was presumed dead-and would have happily stayed that way. He’s no longer the reckless young man he once was, and only half as pretty. All he wants is to hide his scars away in his country home. But when he returns home and tries to sneak into his old bedroom in the middle of the night, he’s shocked to find someone already there.
Rose Hayward remembers Eli as an arrogant rake who helped her late fiancé betray her. Finding him stealing into the house currently rented by Haverhall School for Young Ladies doesn’t correct her impression. Her only thought is to get him to leave immediately. Yet the tension between them is electric, and her painter’s eye can’t help but admire him, scars and all. He might be back from the dead, but now Rose will do anything to make him feel truly alive.

Soul Sucker
Soul Sucker by Kate Pearce is 99c! This is the first book in the Soul Justice series and sounds like all sorts of my catnip: fae hero, arranged mates, supernatural government agencies. The next book in the series follows the same couple, so I’m unsure if the first book is lighter on romance and heavier on the urban fantasy vibe. However, I didn’t see any mentions of a cliffhanger in this one.
Supernatural Branch of Law Enforcement empath Ella Walsh sucks memories from people’s heads. The job fills her mind with others’ nightmares and leaves her with little time for love, but if she doesn’t pair off with a mate of the government’s choosing soon, the psychic blowback will destroy her powers and her sanity.
The last time shapeshifting SBLE superstar Vadim Morosov worked with an empath, he got her killed and himself assigned to a desk. He worries about taking on another partner, but helping Ella track down an empath killer might be his only chance to save his career.
Naturally, the government decides to throw them together…
They resist at first, but they can’t deny the simmering heat between them. As the killer’s strikes grow closer to home, their bond gets tighter. And when the murderer finally traps Ella, her developing link with Vadim might be the only thing that can save her.

Running the Red Light
Running the Red Light by Kelsey Browning is 99c! This is the second book in the Texas Nights series, but it can be read as a standalone. The romance features a stuffy hero and a heroine running a lingerie shop in a small town. Readers love the opposites attract elements, though some felt everything was a bit over the top. It looks like the entire series is on sale!
After wearing a “Least Likely to Succeed” label all her life, Roxanne Eberly is hell-bent on making her Red Light Lingerie store successful. Although the residents of small-town Shelbyville, Texas, are a little…lingerie-resistant, she’ll win them over eventually. So when a former employer sues her, putting a major wrinkle in her careful plans, she reluctantly accepts help from hot-stuff Houston attorney Jamie Wright.
Jamie’s on track to become his firm’s youngest partner, but discovers an unwritten prerequisite—marriage. Turns out, the only woman he wants is Roxanne, but peddling thongs and sex toys isn’t a suitable career for the spouse of an up-and-coming attorney.
Jamie’s tangled up in Roxanne’s lawsuit, her life and her lingerie. But if they’re ever going to make it work, Roxanne’s big-city boy will have to decide what he values more: the career he always thought he wanted or the woman he never thought he’d fall for.

The Border Trilogy
The Border Trilogy by Amanda Scott is $2.99! This is a set of three historical romances. For the most part, readers enjoyed the trilogy. However, some readers mentioned that the first book in particular took a while to get through because the second half was so frustrating. Have you read any of these?
A special three-in-one edition of Amanda Scott’s enthralling Border Trilogy
In Border Bride, as Mary, Queen of Scots, languishes in the Tower of London as a prisoner of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, war tears Scotland apart. To save her beloved homeland, a proud Highland beauty named Mary Kate MacPherson must wage her own battle when she’s forced into wedlock with the seductive Sir Adam Douglas.
In Border Fire, under cover of night, Rabbie Redcloak leads his ragtag army to defend Scotland’s borders against their English enemies. Few know that the legendary highwayman, who could find his way to hell and back, is in reality Sir Quinton Scott, scion of a powerful Scottish clan. Captured during a daring raid, he’s sentenced to hang. Luck comes his way in the form of an unlikely savior: a silver-blond beauty who risks her life to save his.
And in Border Storm, the rebellious daughter of a Scottish march warden, Lady Laurie Halliot is as fearless as she is beautiful. Now, to protect her runaway sister who stands accused of murder, Laurie offers herself as hostage—and reluctant bride—to the man who is her country’s enemy. She prays that her sister will return before the next wardens’ meeting, or Laurie herself will have to bear the punishment.

The Browning looks pretty good plotwise but I can’t get over the flashlight-in-the-mouth aesthetic of the Soul Sucker cover.
I really liked the Texas Nights books. They follow a group of female friends supporting each other’s businesses and lives in a small town. There’s even an enemies to friends plot with the fourth book.
Good lord!
Mary never got near London, much less the Tower. No way would I read this book after that glaring error.
@CarolynM: Mary and Elizabeth never met either. I can’t tell you how many works of historical fiction (and at least a couple of prestige movies) have the two of them not only meeting but getting into cat fights, Renaissance style. Hard pass.
@DIscoDollyDeb I can deal with Elizabeth and Mary meeting in Maxwell Anderson’s play because the structure somewhat demands it (not that I’m happy with his “I have a child, so I’m better than you” take), but everyone else seems to jump off from that and feel they must include such a scene whether it works or no. Kudos to Robert Bolt for Vivat! Vivat Regina! where the two are often on stage together, but it is clear they are communicating through letters or through their ministers. He never has them meet.
But saying she’s locked up in the Tower rather than Fotheringhay, Chatsworth or any of the other places she was kept over the years? Uh, no. Not going to pick that up.
