The Other Miss Bridgerton
The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn is $1.99! This is the third book in the Rokesbys series and also described as a Bridgertons prequel. However, readers say this works fine as a standalone. Quinn is an auto-buy for a lot of romance readers, though some were unable to forgive the hero for kidnapping the heroine.
She was in the wrong place…
Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain’s bed…
He found her at the wrong time…
Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she is very real—and his duty to the Crown means he’s stuck with her.
Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?
When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal—though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart…?

Dime Store Magic
Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong is $2.99! This is the third book in the Women of the Otherworld series. I felt the first book, Bitten, was all right. However, I wasn’t motivated to continue since the second book focused on Elena again. But this one is a witch named Paige and while I’m interested, I’m unsure if reading them in order is necessary. What do you think?
From one of today’s most original writers comes the mesmerizing tale of an exceptional young woman caught up in an otherworldly realm where some will stop at nothing to get what they want.
Paige Winterbourne was always either too young or too rebellious to succeed her mother as leader of one of the world’s most powerful elite organizations—the American Coven of Witches. Now that she is twenty-three and her mother is dead, the Elders can no longer deny her. But even Paige’s wildest antics can’t hold a candle to those of her new charge—an orphan who is all too willing to use her budding powers for evil…and evil is all too willing to claim her. For this girl is being pursued by a dark faction of the supernatural underworld. They are a vicious group who will do anything to woo the young, malleable, and extremely powerful neophyte, including commit murder—and frame Paige for the crime. It’s an initiation into adulthood, womanhood, and the brutal side of magic that Paige will have to do everything within her power to make sure they both survive.

Ghost Seer
Ghost Seer by Robin D. Owens is $2.99! Owens is the author of the sci-fi/paranormal romance Celta’s Heartmate series, which has been recommended here before. This is the first book in an urban fantasy series about (as the title suggests) a heroine who can see ghosts.
There’s just something about Clare. Apart from the ghosts…
When her eccentric aunt passes away, no-nonsense accountant Clare Cermac inherits more than just a small fortune. She receives the gift of communicating with ghosts. While Clare may not believe in spirits, it’s hard to overlook the shadowy talking dog appearing on her bed or spectral cowboys tipping their hats to her in the streets of Denver. And when she locks eyes with sexy—and living—Zach Slade, there’s certainly no ignoring him either.
A former deputy sheriff, Zach is leaving a painful past behind in Montana for a new life in Denver as a private investigator, a job that has him crossing paths with beautiful Clare. Not that she minds. After the restless ghost of a Wild West gunman demands her assistance, Clare finds herself needing Zach more and more—and not just for help.

The Dangerous Gentleman
The Dangerous Gentleman by Julia London is $2.99! This is a historical romance that seems to pick up once the hero and heroine are married. Readers on Goodreads recommend this to those who prefer their romances on the angsty and emotional side, while others didn’t seem to like the hero or the heroine very much. Have you read this one?
The Rogues of Regent Street
With her trademark sensuality and dazzling storytelling, Julia London brings us the Rogues of Regent Street, three dashing, aristocratic gentlemen whose scandalous exploits are the talk of the ton. Adrian Spence, Earl of Albright, has earned his notoriety on the dueling field, and in the finest drawing rooms-and boudoirs-of England. This is his story…
THE DANGEROUS GENTLEMAN
It was strictly business as Adrian Spence claimed the woman his brother desired. A hasty wedding, and Lilliana Dashell was his-sweet revenge on the father who disinherited him and the brother who let it happen. Their wedding night is a revelation as passionate, innocent Lilliana ignites fires Adrian tries desperately to deny. By day he is a stranger. By night he is the lover her dreams, and she a shameless wanton in his arms. But Adrian is determined that no woman will ever possess him. And Lilliana knows that her only hope of taming this very dangerous gentleman is to unlock his deepest mysteries and open his shuttered heart to love.

I loved the Ghost Seer series so much! Unique premise, likable characters, intriguing mysteries. I’m off to read it again.
I liked Dime Store Magic a lot, mostly because I love nerdy beta heroes and Lucas is great. Paige is actually in the second book as a callow youth, and in DSM there’s a lot of disillusionment. Elena is less frustrating in the second book, and while you CAN read DSM without Stolen, I’d recommend reading it first because there’s a bunch of background.
Note: I am kind of a Kelley Armstrong fan girl.
I truly delighted in the characters, chitchat, and activity of this third Rokesbys epic. In the main Rokeby’s book, Andrew Rokesby is an optional character however was one of my preferred characters. I loved the manner in which he and one of his youth closest companions connected as grown-ups. GhostwritingLLC
I am also a Kelley Armstrong fangirl.
I liked DSM alright, though I liked Paige better the deeper into the series I got. (And I am a TOTAL Elena fangirl, so I also had to deal with the sads when book three wasn’t about my fave werewolf murder baby.)
Once Paige cuts off the parts of her past that are making her feel lesser, I’m on board. And Lucas is adorable.
Bitten isn’t a great start to the series. You should start with Stolen, and you get the gist of everything that happened. Dime Store Magic is great, I love Paige the most ❤️
I highly recommend Ghost Seer and Dime Store Magic! I read all the books in both series as they came out and really enjoyed them. I really wasn’t a fan of Bitten, either, and Elena and her mate are some of my least favorite characters in Armstrong’s books but I loved Paige and Lucas and enjoyed watching them grow and interact with all the other characters in the series.
I only vaguely remember the Women of the Otherworld series, but what I do remember is that I stopped reading after the second book because book three wasn’t about Elena and I thought Paige was a (dangerous) little snot in book two.
I’ve never heard of the Ghost Seer series. I’ll definitely check it out. I generally have better success with UF if the author also writes or has written Romance.
I love Kelley Armstrong. Haven’t read Bitten in several years, when I want an Elena book I go straight for Frostbitten.
I like Dime Store Magic fine because I like Paige and Lucas a lot, but I think Industrial Magic better. Stolen introduces Paige, but more importantly it introduces Savannah, her ward. You can probably catch on. There should be enough information to make prior events clear if you really want to skip Stolen. The reason Dime Store isn’t my favorite is that the Coven and the town Paige lives in infuriate me so thoroughly that the rage kind of interferes with my enjoyment. I was very attached to Paige and the way they treat her makes me hate them. This is a personal thing; it serves the story very well and is an important part of Paige’s character arc. It’s not that these people are poorly written, I just dislike them intensely. Industrial Magic (book four) is more to my taste, and you learn a lot about Cabals and Lucas’s family. But it’s probably not as much fun without reading Dime Store Magic first.
So many great books today. I loved Ghost Seer and the rest of the series. Robin D Owens consistently delivers interesting books and is one of my few auto buys. Her Celta Heart Mates series remains one of my favorites, 14 books worth of hours of excellent story telling.

The first book in Mary Balogh’s Survivors series The Proposal is on sale for $2.99.
It’s been years since I read it, but I do recall that I went into Dime Store Magic not expecting much, but ended up liking both it and Paige quite a lot. I don’t think it’s the book to start with, tho, since a new reader would miss out on too much backstory/worldbuilding.
I’ll be the voice of dissent regarding Ghost Seer and the rest of the series. I went back and refreshed my memory with my GR review and was reminded that I didn’t much like the main characters (Clare and Zach) either separately or together. They were both whiners–about everything. There was also a serious case of instalust going on with little effort made to actually get to know each other before the sexytimes commenced. The constant references to Zach’s dick being hard were more annoying than hot. He was also too possessive and controlling, imo. In addition, I thought the worldbuilding and “rules” about Clare’s gift were inconsistent and not very believable. And that was just for Ghost Seer–the rest of the series went downhill from there for me. Obviously, other readers weren’t as cranky about the series so it’s definitely a YMMV kind of thing.
I’m glad other people didn’t like Bitten. I HATED Chase and thought the book had a lot of consent issues, so I didn’t read her for years. However, I picked up the first of the Rockton series and was hooked. I love that series. Cainsville isn’t bad although it’s a B to Rockton’s A+.
Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series is actually my decided “reading project” for 2020! If you include the novellas and graphic novels, it’s 65 titles! I am equal parts excited and intimidated.
Here’s the chronological order on the author’s website –
