  • More or Less a Marchioness

    More or Less a Marchioness by Anna Bradley

    More or Less a Marchioness by Anna Bradley is 99c! This is the first book in the Somerset Sisters series and came out  just last month. Readers warn that it does take a while for the hero and heroine to finally interact, but once they do, it’s a pretty lovely romance.

    The Somerset sisters, three beautiful, headstrong debutantes in Regency London, are discovering that a bit of scandal is a delightful thing…

    For the sake of propriety, and her younger sisters’ reputations, Iris Somerset has kept her rebellious streak locked away. But though she receives a proposal from Phineas Knight, Lord of Huntington, Iris can’t marry a man she knows isn’t truly enamored with her. In fact, Iris no longer wants to be chosen—she wants to choose. Under the clandestine tutelage of “wicked widow” Lady Annabel Tallant, she’ll learn how to steer her own marriage prospects—and discover her secret appetites.

    What kind of debutante refuses a marquess? Finn is surprised, a little chastened—and thoroughly intrigued. This new, independent version of Iris is far more alluring than the polished socialite she used to be. Finn believed he needed a safe, quiet wife to curb his wilder impulses. But the more Iris surprises him, the more impossible it becomes to resist their deepest desires.

  • 500 Miles from You

    500 Miles from You by Jenny Colgan

    500 Miles from You by Jenny Colgan is $1.99! I’ve been curious about this one because it sounds like my level of angst, but I already have so  many books that I’m finding myself needing to be super interested before I buy. Otherwise, I’ll just get it from the library.

    Lissa, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it all together, she’s been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissa to spend a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif in the Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help her heal. Lissa will be swapping places with Cormac, an Army veteran who’s Kirrinfeif’s easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissa’s never experienced small-town life, and Cormac’s never spent more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would do them both some good.

    In London, the gentle Cormac is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissa finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissa and Cormac discover a new depth of feeling…for their profession and for each other.

    But what will happen when Lissa and Cormac finally meet…?

  • The Luminous Dead

    The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling

    The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling is $1.99! This is sci-fi horror that both Elyse and I were excited about. It has a queer lead and definitely heightens feelings of claustrophobia. Personally, I wanted to be scared a bit more.

    A thrilling, atmospheric debut with the intensive drive of The Martian and Gravity and the creeping dread of Annihilation, in which a caver on a foreign planet finds herself on a terrifying psychological and emotional journey for survival.

    When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck—enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother—meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.

    Instead, she got Em.

    Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre’s falsified credentials, and has no qualms using them as a leash—and a lash. And Em has secrets, too . . .

    As Gyre descends, little inconsistencies—missing supplies, unexpected changes in the route, and, worst of all, shifts in Em’s motivations—drive her out of her depths. Lost and disoriented, Gyre finds her sense of control giving way to paranoia and anger. On her own in this mysterious, deadly place, surrounded by darkness and the unknown, Gyre must overcome more than just the dangerous terrain and the Tunneler which calls underground its home if she wants to make it out alive—she must confront the ghosts in her own head.

    But how come she can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed?

  • Somebody Like You

    Somebody Like You by Lynnette Austin

    Somebody Like You by Lynnette Austin is 99c! This is the first book in the small town romance Maverick Junction series. The heroine is a motorcycle-riding, Boston heiress and that’s something I never knew I needed it life.

    From the “talented writer” (Kirkus) of the Must Love Babies and Magnolia Brides series comes a charming, small-town romance between a cowboy and a heiress on the run.

    Cash Hardeman thinks he’ll have all the time in the world to find the right woman . . . until he discovers he might lose the family ranch if he’s not married by his thirtieth birthday. So when Boston beauty Annelise blows into town on her Harley, Cash can’t help wondering if she’s the sexy, leather-clad answer to all his problems.

    Giving her bodyguards and the paparazzi the slip, heiress Annelise Montjoy comes to Maverick Junction on a mission to help her ailing grandfather. But keeping her identity hidden in the small Texas town is harder than she expected-especially around a tempting cowboy like Cash. He’s the kind of man who makes her want to spill all her secrets. Soon Annelise starts to wonder if she’s finally found the man who can love her for herself rather than her money. But will the secrets they both keep ruin their plans to ride off into the sunset together?

  1. Ren Benton/Lena Brassard says:

    I thought THE LUMINOUS DEAD was an enjoyable mindfuck, and my only complaint, in light of that assessment, was that the ending was too happy.

    Starling has a marriage-of-convenience gothic horror novel coming out on October 5, THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE, and I’m looking forward to that.

  2. Kit says:

    I usually give Jenny Colgan a miss but this looks interesting. Not reduced over here but giving the sample a try.

  3. Kris says:

    The death of jane Lawrence will go on my list. I’m all about creepy gothic right now.

  4. Rhiannon Kaye says:

    I enjoyed the Jenny Colgan (had it from the library, might recommend doing the same). I read it almost simultaneously to Beth O’Leary’s The Switch, which I enjoyed also – although who is doing the switch in both books is obviously different.

  5. Escapeologist says:

    I bounced off another Jenny Colgan, I think it was the Bakeshop by the Sea – the title and cartoony cover led me to expect light and fluffy, and maybe it got there in the end, but I had to DNF due to way too much painful backstory, emotional labor, grief, and THEN the heroine gets stuck in the wilderness in the cold rain. Which in hindsight is probably when the forced proximity meet cute was about to happen, but I’m still mad about being dragged through all that pain and suffering. Not For Me. Good writing though, or it wouldn’t have affected me so much. #empathProblems

  6. Meg says:

    My thoughts mirror Rhiannon’s above. Both books were similar thematically (very different on a deeper level), but they were both well-written and enjoyable – though both require patience since they do NOT move quickly.

  7. Darlynne says:

    @RenBenton and others who’ve read it: I’ve been waiting for THE LUMINOUS DEAD to go on sale and now I’m debating whether it might be too creepy. Em sounds like the gaslighter supreme, which is the last thing I need right now. Any thoughts?

  8. Nea says:

    I had spent the entire summer reading romances on the fluffier side, so I was attracted to the darker side of 500 Miles From You; I was ready for something with some teeth. I enjoyed it enough to go buy the other two in the trilogy (Bookshop on the Corner & Bookshop by the Shore).

  9. Ren Benton/Lena Brassard says:

    @Darlynne: I think the book description is a little extreme. Em isn’t truthful, but neither is Gyre. Em administers some medical treatments through the suit without Gyre’s consent, which is bad, but Gyre is also being a reckless dumbass who could die without treatment. And you have an unreliable narrator who’s pissed off that her employer won’t let her pursue her personal agenda, so even things that help her STAY ALIVE are portrayed as antagonistic. Most of the creepiness is the psychological effect of the environment (darkness, isolation, the knowledge that if anything goes wrong, nobody can save you). The communication with Em is really the only point of stability. AAARGH, it’s hard to know where someone else’s line is, but I think I would have bounced if she’d been more toxic than “I have a secret, and I won’t let you die on my payroll, whether you like it or not.”

  10. Merle says:

    My eyes are tired today, and I read the top line on Luminous Dead as “The cake will swallow them whole”. Somewhat disappointed to realize it is a cave instead…

  11. Kit C says:

    More or less a Marchioness came out a few years ago. It’s a fun read! I do think that the rest of the series is less good, but if you’re not a completionist, reading this alone is fine!

  12. Meg says:

    I loved The Luminous Dead and found it tense and creepy, but not really scary. A lot of the book is Gyre moving equipment around, which you wouldn’t think would be compelling, but it somehow is.

  13. batgirl says:

    Cash Hardman? Was that a product of a Manly Name Generator?
