The Royal We
RECOMMENDED: The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan is $3.99! This is also Kindle Daily Deal. Elyse and Redheadedgirl did a joint review of this book and they gave it an A:
RHG: So I’m giving this an A, because it was delightful and I adore the Fug Girls’ version of Harry and Kate and Wills that they’ve created in their heads. It also passed the “Did I stay up until 3 am to finish this? YES I DID” test. How about you?
Elyse: Totally an A. It wasn’t as heavy in the romance as I wanted but made up for it by being addictive. I too pulled the 3 a.m. read. Plus it’s really funny and heartfelt.
In their first adult novel, authors Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan take on a story of romance and rivalries inspired by today’s most talked-about royal couple: Will and Kate.
“If I’m Cinderella today, I dread who they’ll think I am tomorrow. I guess it depends on what I do next.”
American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy-tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it’s adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall – and thus Bex who accidentally finds herself in love with the eventual heir to the British throne. Nick is everything she could have imagined, but Prince Nicholas has unimaginable baggage: grasping friends, a thorny family, hysterical tabloids tracking his every move, and a public that expected its future king to marry a native. On the eve of the most talked-about wedding of the century, Bex reflects on what she’s sacrificed for love — and exactly whose heart she may yet have to break.

Toil & Trouble
Toil & Trouble edited by Jessica Spotswood and Tess Sharpe is $3.99! This is an anthology, which I’m gravitating toward a lot right now, given the ease of dipping in and dipping out. Though this is YA, I have a feeling that it skews older. I’ve read another anthology edited by Spotswood (A Tyranny of Petticoats) and there was some heavy stuff.
A young adult fiction anthology of 15 stories featuring contemporary, historical, and futuristic stories featuring witchy heroines who are diverse in race, class, sexuality, religion, geography, and era.
Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Glinda the Good Witch. Elphaba the Wicked Witch. Willow. Sabrina. Gemma Doyle. The Mayfair Witches. Ursula the Sea Witch. Morgan le Fey. The three weird sisters from Macbeth.
History tells us women accused of witchcraft were often outsiders: educated, independent, unmarried, unwilling to fall in line with traditional societal expectations.
Bold. Powerful. Rebellious.
A bruja’s traditional love spell has unexpected results. A witch’s healing hands begin to take life instead of giving it when she ignores her attraction to a fellow witch. In a terrifying future, women are captured by a cabal of men crying witchcraft and the one true witch among them must fight to free them all. In a desolate past, three orphaned sisters prophesize for a murderous king. Somewhere in the present, a teen girl just wants to kiss a boy without causing a hurricane.
From good witches to bad witches, to witches who are a bit of both, this is an anthology of diverse witchy tales from a collection of diverse, feminist authors. The collective strength of women working together—magically or mundanely–has long frightened society, to the point that women’s rights are challenged, legislated against, and denied all over the world. Toil & Trouble delves deep into the truly diverse mythology of witchcraft from many cultures and feminist points of view, to create modern and unique tales of witchery that have yet to be explored.

A Scandalous Proposal
A Scandalous Proposal by Kasey Michaels is $1.99! This is a historical romance and the second book in The Little Season series. Readers recommend this one for a silly and light romance, while others mentioned they didn’t care for the hero and heroine’s frequent sexual fraternizing. I suppose that’s code for “too much sex.”
Who would have thought a man could tire of being fawned over and flirted with? Ever since Cooper Townsend returned from France as a hero with a new title, he has been relentlessly pursued by every marriageable miss in London. Perhaps that’s why the unconventional Miss Daniella Foster is so appealing. She doesn’t simper or flatter. She only wants him to help unmask her sister’s blackmailer, and Coop has never been so intrigued…
Let every other woman in London fight over His Lordship’s romantic attentions. Marriage is the last thing on Dany’s mind…at least until she samples his illicit kisses. Now, as a mutual enemy races to ruin Coop’s reputation and Dany’s family name, an engagement of convenience will spark an unlikely passion that might save them both

Eleven of the books in the Brother Cadfael mystery series, starting with One Corpse Too Many, are on sale at prices ranging from $1.99 to $3.99. As I mentioned last week, I’m making my way through the series, and these books usually cost ten or eleven dollars each.
“frequent sexual fraternizing” Oh man, that’s hilarious and just what I needed for a good laugh today!
@Melanie: They seem to be shifting which books are on sale. I just added three more that weren’t on sale last week. Three more to go.
Four of Laura Kinsale’s older books are on sale today. I grabbed The Dream Hunter ($1.99) & The Prince of Midnight ($.99).
There’s also a couple of Peter Wimsey books on sale. Lots of different versions of Whose Body and Clouds of Witness, which must be out of copyright.
“Wild Card” needs to have a content warning for incest rape. I’m pretty annoyed that they chose to leave that out. DNF the book.
To be fair, there is a point where you wonder if the author was remotely interested in their plot or just wanted to play a few rounds of body-part MadLibs.
I have read books that I’d describe as “too much sexual fraternizing.”
Toil and Trouble was great! I don’t read a lot of short story collections, but I loved many of these stories!
