    How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days by K.M. Jackson

    How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days by KM Jackson is $1.99! For some reason, this one isn’t price-matched at Barnes & Noble yet. This is a rom-com road trip with a friends to lovers romance.

    USA Today bestselling author K.M. Jackson delivers a hilarious road-trip rom-com perfect for fans of Meet Cute and When Harry Met Sally.

    Bethany Lu Carlisle is devastated when the tabloids report actor Keanu Reeves is about to tie the knot. What?! How could the world’s perfect boyfriend and forever bachelor, Keanu not realize that making a move like this could potentially be devastating to the equilibrium of…well…everything! Not to mention, he’s never come face to face with the person who could potentially be his true soulmate—her.

    Desperate to convince Keanu to call off the wedding, Lu and her ride-or-die BFF Truman Erikson take a wild road trip to search for the elusive Keanu so that Lu can fulfill her dream of meeting her forever crush and confess her undying love. From New York to Los Angeles, Lu and True get into all sorts of sticky situations. Will Lu be able to find Keanu and convince him she’s the one for him? Or maybe she’ll discover true love has been by her side all along…

  • Graceling

    Graceling by Kristin Cashore

    RECOMMENDED: Graceling by Kristin Cashore is $2.99! This is a YA fantasy novel with romantic elements and I LOVED it. The entire series is pretty great, to be honest. The heroine is strong and all sorts of badass, but she’s also trying to cope with being a hired killer for the king. I’m also totally in love with the cover redesigns for this series.

    Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight – she’s a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king’s thug.

    When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.

    She never expects to become Po’s friend.

    She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace – or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away.

  • Fifty Shades Trilogy

    Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James

    The Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James is $4.99! This bundle is a Kindle Daily Deal and I think today’s deals also include Freed. If you enjoy the books and are looking to grab them all digitally, this is a good deal.

    Now available in a single volume, E L James’s New York Times #1 bestselling trilogy has been hailed by Entertainment Weekly as being “in a class by itself.” Beginning with the GoodReads Choice Award Romance Finalist Fifty Shades of Grey, the Fifty Shades Trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

    This bundle includes the following novels:

    FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: When college student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly Ana realizes she wants this man, and Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian’s secrets and explores her own desires.

    FIFTY SHADES DARKER: Daunted by Christian’s dark secrets and singular tastes, Ana has broken off their relationship to start a new career. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and while Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Ana is forced to make the most important decision of her life.

    FIFTY SHADES FREED: Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to turn Ana’s deepest fears into reality.

    I suspect 50 SHADES will age about as well as SWEET SAVAGE LOVE has. I predict that in about 40 years women of a certain age will be posting: “I loved FSOG when it was first released, but I wouldn’t want to read it now.”

  2. chacha1 says:

    My BFF has FSOG and I picked it up while I was helping her rearrange her bookshelves; gave it five minutes/five pages; said Nope. It’s the kind of bestseller that makes me think I will never understand the Great American Reader.

  3. Levana Taylor says:

    Graceling has an interesting unconventional happy ending — the h/H don’t see each other very often because of both of their jobs but prefer that to “settling down” anyway, and also they don’t get married because of misogynistic marriage laws. They’re shown to be doing fine that way in later volumes.

  4. Carrie G says:

    Just when the romance genre was starting to crawl out of the public perception of it as “hack-written mommy porn,” Fifty Shades became a bestseller and re-solidified that view. That and its misrepresentation of the kink community just makes me want to weep.

  5. FashionablyEvil says:

    Definitely recommend GRACELING and A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY. I didn’t quite make it to the end of the trilogy (books 2 and 3 feature a different POV than the first one), but book one is a great Beauty and the Beast re-telling. Both books feature disabled lead characters and Cashore has some interesting notes about how she handled her character’s disability and incorporated feedback on her depiction of it.

  6. Lisa F says:

    I’ve been meaning to read How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days! Grabbing.

  7. sweetfa says:

    The Amazon UK site linked me to a vegan cookbook instead of the trilogy. It’s about half-price in the UK, so not such a good reduction. It looks interesting, though, so I’ll give it a try. The box set has pretty pearly-pink covers, which is different.

  8. Empress of Blandings says:

    I tried 50 Shades, but when it didn’t even get ‘how to set up a laptop’ right, I decided I didn’t have much hope for the rest of the book & abandoned it.

  9. Kit says:

    I wonder if 50 shades would have been successful had it been released after #metoo? Has anyone tried to read The Mister? I don’t count her other works, just a rehash of FSOG.

  10. DiscoDollyDeb says:

    In the spirit of French director Jean-Luc Godard, who once observed, “The best way to criticize a bad film is to make a better one,” I’d like to recommend a few erotic romances with bdsm themes that I think are objectively better than FSOG:

    CD Reiss’s Submission series (interconnected novellas about an up-and-coming singer who gets involved in a D/s relationship with a wealthy man from a dysfunctional family); the Edge series (a couple—both military veterans—impulsively marry and then spend several books working through each other’s issues); the Marriage Games/Separation Games duet (a married man, on the verge of divorce, persuades his wife—unaware of his involvement with the bdsm lifestyle before he met her—to be his sub for a month before granting her the divorce she wants). These books are quite dark (especially the Edge books) and full of triggers, but so much better-written than FSOG.

    And I know I’m not the first person to note the similarities between FSOG and Alexis Hall’s m/m Arden St. Ives trilogy (HOW TO BANG A BILLIONAIRE, HOW TO BLOW IT WITH A BILLIONAIRE, and HOW TO BE WITH A BILLIONAIRE) about college graduate Arden and his relationship to troubled (emphasis on “troubled”) billionaire Caspian. Arden is Anastasia if Anastasia were gay, sexually-experienced, and possessed of a witty, snarky pop-culture sensibility.

    Of course, it’s possible none of these books would have been written or published without FSOG to light the way, so there’s that.

  11. Msb says:

    The Graceling is terrific, and so is the new cover.

    FSOG may be the worst-written book I’ve ever failed to read. I got about 5 pages in, and the prose sounded like a bag full of rocks falling down a staircase.

  12. Miss Louisa says:

    I, too, passed on 50 shades after hearing an excerpt read on NPR as part of a story on the popularity of romance novels. It was awful when read out loud, I couldn’t imagine what those would would be like going directly in my eyes to my brain. I thought that there were much better titles to chose as examples, but that book was ruling the best selling lists at the time and people who never bought books were buying it.

  13. Laura says:

    @DiscoDollyDeb you are much more gracious than I am bout FSOG.

  14. Vasha says:

    There’s a bit in the movie In a Quiet Place where a screenwriter is hired to make a script out of a bestseller and he reads a few pages and is like, I just can not, so he gets the idea of asking the desk clerk at his hotel if she likes the book — she’s enthusiastic so he gets her to tell him all about it and from that he figures out what’s important to put in the movie. Seems like a good principle for anyone who’s not the target audience: to understand the book, find out what the book in the readers’ heads is.

  15. EJ says:

    I’m not defending the franchise, but I just remember when FSOG first came out the books sparked a lot of real life conversations about desire for women (including me) and that was pretty fun. I never read them or even wanted to, but there was definitely *something* in the air.

    To be fair, I always assumed that FSOG was aiming to be a fantasy (however clumsily) and not a realistic depiction of how a BDSM relationship should be conducted. A lot of erotic romance falls in the former category and I think that critics of that type of book assume the intended audience isn’t smart enough to understand that, which annoys me. Because FSOG went so mainstream I think there was a lot of worry that people unfamiliar with erotic romance wouldn’t *get* that it’s meant to be a fantasy. It’s complicated, obviously.

  16. Midge says:

    I never had any desire either to read FSOG. I think the post about it here was one of the first things I read on this blog. I had zero knowledge about BDSM and felt no desire to read about something like that. Well, fast forward to now, I have read a few books with light(er) BDSM content, and it’s still not my jam. Those who enjoy it – please do so, whether in books or real life, I don’t care.
    I do remember though when the whole thing was a hype I had a business partner visiting our offices, woman in her 30s like me, she opened her trolley suitcase to get some brochures out and there it was, for all to see – FSOG. Ok, I don’t judge… and I do like her very much, but it’s not like I know here very well beyond business. But I did think that that’s something that maybe you wouldn’t really want business partners to see? At least I wouldn’t… not for being ashamed of it, but some people might get a wrong idea – they might judge someone based on that.

  17. Vasha says:

    @Midge: Well, it’s questionable to choose what to keep around on the grounds of what people might think. I mean, yeah, a woman in business gets judged BIGTIME and has to calculate what she’s willing to risk, but that isn’t a strike against FSOG in particular; far more defensible and straight-up necessary things are regarded worse.

  18. Lynn says:

    Unpopular(?) opinion but I would have preferred “A Curse so Dark and Lonely” as a standalone. The concept of the first book was so fascinating (Beauty and the Beast meets Groundhog Day) and the romance so satisfying and then the sequels just turned into a love triangle between two men and a country with insane amounts of angst. I ended up skimming parts of book 2 and most of book 3 and still felt disappointed by what I read (esp. the ending which was technically a HEA). Brigid Kemmerer is an excellent writer so I don’t regret buying the books in the first place but I think I will just keep book 1 and cut out the epilogue. There’s also a sequel coming out in May called “Forging Silver Into Stars” if you enjoyed the series as a whole.
