Wrong to Need You
RECOMMENDED: Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai is $3.99! This is the notorious cat pee book. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read Elyse’s review:
I do not think I can possibly endorse Wrong to Need You more strongly than “it will make you forget you’re sitting in cat pee,” but if I could, I would, because this book is everything wonderful. It’s angsty and cathartic and sexy…Alisha Rai returns with the second novel in her sizzling Forbidden Hearts series!
He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with his brother’s widow…
Accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Jackson Kane fled his home, his name, and his family. Ten years later, he’s come back to town: older, wiser, richer, tougher—and still helpless to turn away the one woman he could never stop loving, even after she married his brother.
Sadia Ahmed can’t deal with the feelings her mysterious former brother-in-law stirs, but she also can’t turn down his offer of help with the cafe she’s inherited. While he heats up her kitchen, she slowly discovers that the boy she adored has grown into a man she’s simply unable to resist.
An affair is unthinkable, but their desire is undeniable. As secrets and lies are stripped away, Sadia and Jackson must decide if they’re strong enough to face the past…and step into a future together.

The Trouble with True Love by Laura Lee Guhrke is $3.99! Carrie read this historical romance and gave it a B grade:
I would consider this to be a almost perfect (but not quite, hence the B grade) comfort read. Good food, good clothes, lovely settings, lovely characters, lots and lots of feminism – that’s my jam!
Dear Lady Truelove,
I am a girl of noble family, but I am painfully shy, especially in my encounters with those of the opposite sex . . .
For Clara Deverill, standing in for the real Lady Truelove means dispensing advice on problems she herself has never managed to overcome. There’s nothing for it but to retreat to a tearoom and hope inspiration strikes between scones. It doesn’t—until Clara overhears a rake waxing eloquent on the art of “honorable” jilting. The cad may look like an Adonis, but he’s about to find himself on the wrong side of Lady Truelove.
Rex Galbraith is an heir with no plans to produce a spare. He flirts with the minimum number of eligible young ladies to humor his matchmaking aunt, but Clara is the first to ever catch his roving eye. When he realizes that Clara—as Lady Truelove—has used his advice as newspaper fodder, he’s infuriated. But when he’s forced into a secret alliance with her, he realizes he’s got a much bigger problem—because Clara is upending everything Rex thought he knew about women—and about himself. . . .

Love and Other Scandals by Caroline Linden is $2.99! This is book one in the Scandalous series, which is described on Goodreads thusly: “A series in which a shocking book—Fifty Shades of Grey for the Regency era—has all of London talking and gives more than one young miss a mind for scandal.”
With Love and Other Scandals, bestselling and RITA Award–winning author Caroline Linden launches a scandalously sexy new historical romance series set in Regency England.
Joan Bennett is a breath away from being a spinster. She’s had four seasons without a suitor. After reading a shockingly sensuous book, Fifty Ways to Sin, Joan decides perhaps it’s time to stop being proper and start being sinful, while she’s still young enough to enjoy it. And what better partner than her brother’s drinking mate, Viscount Burke? He seems the type to know how to give a lady a lascivious adventure.
It seems that the viscount has qualms about trifling with a friend’s sister. That’s the way to end up betrothed. And he doesn’t want that—or does he?

Honor by Jay Crownover is $2.99! Crownover writes bad boys and this book seems to be on the darker side of the contemporary romance spectrum. But it has the same problem that I tend to take with first person POV book descriptions in that it’s hard to get a sense of what the book is actually about.
Don’t be fooled.
Don’t make excuses for me.
I am not a good man.
I’ve seen things no one should, done things no one should talk about. Honor and conscience have no place in my life. But I’ve fought and I’ve survived. I’ve had to.
The first time I saw her dancing on that seedy stage in that second rate club, I felt my heart pulse for the first time. Keelyn Foster was too young, too vibrant for this place, and I knew in an instant that I would make her mine. But first I had to climb my way to the top. I had to have something more to offer her.
I’m here now, money is no object and I have no equal. Except for her. She’s disappeared. But don’t worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.
Like I said, don’t be fooled. I am not the devil in disguise… I’m the one front and center.

The Linden and the Rai are both wonderful!
Almost all of the Discworld ebooks that were previously $9.99 have been marked down to $6.99 (on Amazon at least)– which doesn’t exactly make them cheap, but certainly makes them cheaper.
(I have physical copies of all of them, but would like kindle copies, so I’ve been watching for markdowns for a while.)
The Rai is my favorite in the series – brother’s widow/best friend’s widow is a weird catnip I never knew I had.
@EmilyB: Me too—I love that trope. Oddly enough, when the genders are reversed (a woman falls for her late sister’s/friend’s widower), my response is “meh.” And one of my favorite books so far this year is Marley Valentine’s WITHOUT YOU which is about a man, who has always identified as straight, falling for his late (gay) brother’s boyfriend. So angsty, so good!
I adored Wrong to Need You and I actually just read the Linden book within the past few weeks. It was really lovely and I enjoyed the hero/heroine and how their romance developed.
“But don’t worry, I will find her and claim her. She will be mine.”
Nopity, nope, nope, nope.
Which is he, a narcissist or a stalker? Or both?
JUST SAY NO.
@Qualisign,
I haven’t read the book and have no particular interest, but it sounds like he’s pretty upfront with exactly what he is, no?
“I am not a good man.
….
I am not the devil in disguise… I’m the one front and center.”
It’s certainly more believable than if he were saying:
“I am not a good man.
I completely respect boundaries.
I’m the devil!”
That whole Alisha Rai trilogy is just fantastic. So heavy and angsty for romance, but sooooo good!
