Wilde in Love
Wilde in Love by Eloisa James is $1.99! This is the first book in The Wildes of Lindow Castle. Some readers DNF-ed this on Goodreads citing lack of chemistry between the characters or boredom. However, other fans of James were excited about this new series. Which camp are you in?
Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father’s castle, but just as he grasps that he’s not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty, Miss Willa Ffynche.
Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper.
Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own . . . until he meets Willa. He’s never lost a battle.
But a spirited woman like Willa isn’t going to make it easy. . . .
The first book in Eloisa James’s dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm—and introduces a large, eccentric family. Readers will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!

Bound
Bound by Lorelei James is $2.99! This is the first book in James’s Mastered erotic romance series. For me, James’s books are my potato chips. In this series, the first two books follow the same couple and this one does end on a cliffhanger. You have been warned!
In the new Mastered series by New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James, a woman’s desire to shatter her inhibitions leaves her unprepared for where that erotic journey will take her….
Former small-town girl Amery Hardwick is living her dream as a graphic designer in Denver, Colorado. She’s focused on building her business, which leaves little time for dating—not that she needs a romantic entanglement to fulfill her. When her friend signs up for a self-defense class as part of her recovery after an attack, Amery joins her for support. That’s where she meets him.
Ronin Black, owner of the dojo, is so drawn to Amery that he takes over her training—in public and in private. The enigmatic Ronin pushes Amery’s boundaries from the start, and with each new tryst, Amery becomes addicted to the pleasure and to him. But when Amery senses Ronin is hiding something, she questions her total trust in him, despite the undeniable thrill of his possession…

The Eyre Affair
RECOMMENDED: The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde is $2.99! I loved this fantasy novel and highly recommend it to readers who love the classics. The heroine works in literary detection, so when characters in famous novels go missing, she’s the one to call. Admittedly, the book does take a while to get into as you try to settle into the worldbuilding, but I think Fforde eventually finds his footing and the following books in the series just get better.
Welcome to a surreal version of Great Britain, circa 1985, where time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, veryseriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem, militant Baconians heckle performances of Hamlet, and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense.
All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection, until someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature. When Jane Eyre is plucked from the pages of Brontë’s novel, Thursday must track down the villain and enter the novel herself to avert a heinous act of literary homicide.

No Judgments
No Judgments by Meg Cabot is $2.99! This is a recent release, so snap this one up if you’re curious. We had a great guest review of this one, where Esme recommends this to readers who aren’t so invested in Cabot’s backlist:
I think if you’re not as intimate (or obsessed) with Cabot’s backlist as I am, or you’re a dyed in the wool rom-com consumer, you’ll enjoy this. It’s very much in the vein of Tessa Bailey’s Fix Her Up.
The storm of the century is about to hit Little Bridge Island, Florida—and it’s sending waves crashing through Sabrina “Bree” Beckham’s love life…
When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island—as well as its connection to the mainland—twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn’t worried . . . at first. She’s already escaped one storm—her emotionally abusive ex—so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake.
But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets. Now it’s up to her to save as many of Little Bridge’s cats and dogs as she can . . . but to do so, she’s going to need help—help she has no choice but to accept from her boss’s sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the Mermaid Café’s most notorious heartbreaker.
But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge’s power is restored and her penitent ex shows up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.

Google pop up ads? Really?
@Mel Burns: I’ve been hesitant to say anything because Sarah and the site have to earn money and generate income the same as the rest of us working people, but those ads at the bottom of the screen drive me nuts—in part because you can’t X-out one-and-done as soon as you open SBTB. Even when you X-out, as soon as you click on another post, the darn ad pops up again. And even on my iPad, the ads take up quite a bit of real estate. On my phone screen, it’s even more obnoxious. I’m really sorry for being a downer; I love this place and I know Sarah pours her heart and soul into it, but I’m hoping a compromise can be found between the need for income-generating ads and the desire to have an uninterrupted reading experience.
It’s epidemic! Last night we were watching The Voice and Ads kept popping up advertising future events. Remember Blade Runner, Ads everywhere, everywhere!
I love SBTB, I’d rather pay a small subscription than have those eefing Google Ads, which btw are sometimes from scam sites in Hong Kong like NoraCora.
I really enjoyed the Meg Cabot book which was inspired by her own experiences living in the Keys during a hurricane. The characters are charming and I really like books where everyone gets what “they deserve” in the end.
Wikipedia occasionally asks for donations and I am able to do it through my Amazon account, why not try that out here and see what happens.
I remember the Fforde being good.
So,the choices are guy who helps you rescue stranded pets or emotionally abusive ex?
What to do? What to do?
Also, The Eyre Affair and it’s sequels are lovely.
And Lorelei James has been a hard pass (hur) since the anal on horseback scene.
I LOVED the Fforde book. As the series went on, I became less and less enchanted, but I still enjoyed them.
@DonnaMarie: YIKES
I’ll take ‘What really doesn’t sound sexy at all’ for 1000, Alex.
I know lots of readers love The Eyre Affair but I could not get into it at all. It had the sort of clever for the sake of being clever humor that I don’t care for. And it had a lot of really specific literary references to books that I’ve read but don’t remember that thoroughly.
I LOVED The Eyre Affair (and the books that followed). No, I was not familiar with every piece of literature or literary character that made an appearance, but that was ok. Thursday Next is an awesome character, smart, badass, funny,and imperfect. The book was filled with the Britishy humor I love and I’ve recommended (and even gifted it to!) more people than i can count. It’s a book for people who love books!
Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace is 2.99 at Amazon.

Add me to those who hate pop up adds. The latest add blocked 1/3 of the screen on my phone. None of them actually go away and stay away after clicking the x. And I keep getting asked to confirm I accept cookies. Shouldn’t once be enough?
I don’t mind clicking links to allow the site to get a share of the purchase.
If you’d like to email me and tell me which ads are bothersome, I do have some control over the display, but as each phone and browser handle things differently, it helps to know which ones are annoying you specifically. I am sorry that they’re bothering you. Thanks!
I am a big fan of the Eloisa James Wilde series, mainly for the female friendships. In this one, we meet two friends after their very successful first season. We get happy glimpses of the teamwork that was responsible for that success– including careful observations and plans specific to each of them.
It’s the ads across the bottom which are annoying. I’m reading on an iPads, and they cover up the bottom part of the screen. I’m a longtime user of the site, and have often bought books through the side ads, but the ones on the bottom have nothing to do with books and feel like wading through spam,
