Project Duchess
Project Duchess by Sabrina Jeffries is still on sale for 99c! This historical romance is the first book in the Duke Dynasty series. I also made a cocktail for this one! Jeffries books are hit or miss for me. What do you think?
From New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries comes a sparkling new series about an oft-widowed mother’s grown children, who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers . . . and in the process find that love just might conquer all . . .
A series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher “Grey” Pryde, 5th Duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey’s focus on expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly unconventional woman managing his stepfather’s funeral, he’s shocked to discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn’t interested in love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady . . .
Beatrice Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant Duke of Greycourt with his rakish reputation isn’t exactly changing her mind. Then Grey agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest “project”: schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that Beatrice is seeing through Grey’s charms to his wounded heart, she’s having trouble keeping him at arm’s length. But once Grey starts digging into her family’s secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie with her family . . . or with the man whose lessons capture her heart . . .

Men Like This
Men Like This by Roxanne Smith is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance with a horror author heroine and an actor hero. Plus, there’s a fake relationship! Though the book is a romance, readers mention that there’s no sex as part of the romance. But many were so captured by the story that the lack of bedroom activities didn’t seem to matter. Anyone interested?
Can she trust a man who pretends for a living?
Horror author Quinn Buzzly knows all about the dark side, but when she meets actor Jack Decker, she’s moved to explore something completely different—at least on paper. With his sexy good looks, intriguing manner, and charming Irish-tinged English accent, Jack is the perfect model for her next hero. Quinn decides to spend one year in London writing a historical romance inspired by him. Until real life butts in…
Jack’s jealous ex-fiancée sparks a media storm when she accuses him and Quinn of having an affair. But Jack knows how to play this game. At his insistence, Quinn agrees to go along with the faux romance until the chatter subsides. Then they’ll stage a quiet breakup and go their separate ways. Yet Jack is a shameless—and irresistibly convincing—flirt, and Quinn has to remind herself it’s an act. Or is it? If Jack means business, he’ll have to find the words to convince a wordsmith that their love is the real thing…

Alice Isn’t Dead
Alice Isn’t Dead by Joseph Fink is $2.99! This book is by the creator of Welcome to Night Vale and it also based on a podcast of the same name. I love the Alice Isn’t Dead podcast and highly recommend it, though I’m not sure if the book is simply a novelization of the podcast or if it’s different in any way.
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of It Devours! and Welcome to Night Vale comes a fast-paced thriller about a truck driver searching across America for the wife she had long assumed to be dead.
“This is not a story. It’s a road trip.”
Keisha Lewis lived a quiet life with her wife, Alice, until the day that Alice disappeared. After months of searching, presuming she was dead, Keisha held a funeral, mourned, and gradually tried to get on with her life. But that was before Keisha started to see her wife, again and again, in the background of news reports from all over America. Alice isn’t dead, and she is showing up at every major tragedy and accident in the country.
Following a line of clues, Keisha takes a job with a trucking company, Bay and Creek Transportation, and begins searching for Alice. She eventually stumbles on an otherworldly conflict being waged in the quiet corners of our nation’s highway system—uncovering a conspiracy that goes way beyond one missing woman.
Why did Alice disappear? What does she have to do with this secret war between inhuman killers? Why did the chicken cross the road? These questions, and many more will be answered in Alice Isn’t Dead.

Fluffy
Fluffy by Julia Kent is free!! I’m on the fence about trying this one because it sounds hilarious with the “fluffer” misunderstanding, but humor is so subjective and I’ve been burned by romantic comedies before.
An all-new STANDALONE from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent
It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.
I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.
Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.
See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.
Until it was too late.
The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job!
Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch.
They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.
The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.
Oh, man…
And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.
By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.
My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined?
Having all my dreams come true.

I want to read Fluffy just from the description. Highly rec Alice isn’t Dead!
*one clicks Men Like This*
You had me at “horror author heroine” and “no sex.”
I’m intrigued how it’ll show writing horror vs. romance. To me as an author they’re actually pretty close together in writing process.
The House on Blackberry Hill by Donna Alward is free
Why is the couple on the cover of Project Duchess dancing with their arms reversed???? Was this done on purpose to tempt us into reading the book to find out if it contains an answer? (I won’t — Jeffries doesn’t work for me — but for a mad second I almost considered it.)
The Duke Dynasty books are inconsistent for me and, at their best, just pleasant. The first (Project Duchess, mentioned above) and the last (the newly released Undercover Duke, which wraps everything up) are the weakest. The two middle ones, featuring Gwyn and then her twin brother Thorn, are the better ones, don’t suffer as much from all the set-up shoved into the first one and the too-quick resolution of the last, and the novella about Heywood in the middle is sweet while insubstantial.
“Her Big City Neighbor”, the first in Jackie Lau’s “Cider Bar Sisters” series, is currently free on US Amazon. [Book 3 in the series, “The Professor Next Door”, releases next Monday. I follow her on Twitter, and she always has interesting comments about the stockphotos she finds for her books, particularly for The Professor Next Door.]
@Star, every time I see that cover I try to tell myself, “You’re seeing them in a mirror. It’s just a mirror image.” It doesn’t work. I still can’t look at it.
Michelle Diener’s The Rising Wave, prequel novella to the Rising Wave series, is briefly free to US Kindle readers.
I enjoyed Fluffy. There was some body size hatred directed toward the main character from her high school reunion classmates, but the rest of the book was funny. I’ve read it twice.
I think this is the third or fourth time Project Duchess has been mentioned in books on sale (which I remember because there’s always comments about the backwards cover!) so I’ll add my standard comment about it: it’s pretty blah: the plotting is boring and so is the sex. I wouldn’t recommend it.
