Satisfaction Guaranteed
RECOMMENDED: Satisfaction Guaranteed by Karelia Stetz-Waters is $2.99! Both Tara and Shana reviewed this one and gave it an A:
Shana: I stayed up late reading Satisfaction Guaranteed because I just couldn’t put it down. This book reminded me why I love contemporary romances—experiencing the heady rush of falling in love through characters that feel so real, they could walk off the page and into one of my dinner parties. Reading this brought me such joy.
Opposites attract in this playful and laugh-out-loud rom-com from Lambda Award finalist Karelia Stetz-Waters.
Cade Elgin has a life and career in New York City, and she’s determined to get back to both as soon as possible after her aunt’s funeral in Portland. However, when she unexpectedly inherits her aunt’s sex toy store — and has to save it from foreclosure — Cade realizes she’s not going anywhere. But making Share the Love profitable won’t be as easy as Cade had hoped. Her new partner has an infuriating lack of business sense, and an infuriating ability to turn Cade on.
Selena Mathis knows that nothing is more important than saving Share the Love. Not her pride, not her inconvenient attraction toward her new business partner. Cade may be more buttoned-up than Selena usually goes for, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to turn the store around. But the more they work together, the harder it becomes for Selena to ignore her growing feelings for Cade. And she starts to wonder if there is something more important than saving Share the Love.

The Real Deal
The Real Deal by Lauren Blakely is $2.99! This is a contemporary romance with a fake relationship and forced proximity. Readers say this does a great job blending humor and romance, while others wanted a more emotional payoff. Have you read this one?
Get ready for your next favorite romantic comedy, THE REAL DEAL!
April Hamilton wants you to know she hasn’t been on Craigslist since that time she sold her futon after college. She doesn’t even spend that much time online. And even if she did, she would not be looking up personal ads. But going home alone for her family’s summer reunion is an invitation for every single relative to butt into her personal life. She simply can’t handle another blind date with the butcher, the baker or the candlestick maker from her hometown. So when she finds the Craigslist ad for a boyfriend-for-hire, she’s ready to pay to play.Heading Home and Need a Buffer? I’m the REAL DEAL.
Theo Banks has been running from the past for years. He’s this close to finally settling all his debts, and one more job as a boyfriend-for-hire will do the trick. He’s no gigolo. Please. He’s something of an actor, and he knows how to slip into any role, including pretending to be April’s new beau — the bad boy with the heart of gold.Even if it means sleeping in close quarters in that tiny little bed in her parents’ inn. Even if it means spinning tales of a romance that starts to feel all too true. What neither one of them counts on is that amid the egg toss, the arm wrestling, and a fierce game of Lawn Twister that has them tangled up together, they might be feeling the real deal.
She only wanted to show her family once and for all that she had no need to settle down.
He didn’t expect to have the time of his life at her parent’s home.
They didn’t plan on loving every single second of the game.
But can a masterful game of pretend result in true love?

If the Shoe Fits
If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy is 99c! This came out in August and is a Cinderella-inspired retelling. It also has a reality show element. I’m very excited about this updated Disney princess series. The next one will be written by Jasmine Guillory and is a Beauty & the Beast retellng.
After having just graduated with a degree in shoe design, and trying to get her feet on the ground, Cindy is working for her stepmother, who happens to be the executive producer of America’s favorite reality show, Before Midnight. When a spot on the show needs filling ASAP, Cindy volunteers, hoping it might help jump-start her fashion career, or at least give her something to do while her peers land jobs in the world of high fashion.
Turns out being the only plus size woman on a reality dating competition makes a splash, and soon Cindy becomes a body positivity icon for women everywhere. What she doesn’t expect? That she may just find inspiration—and love—in the process. Ultimately, Cindy learns that if the shoe doesn’t fit, maybe it’s time to design your own.

The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl
The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl by Annika Martin is 99c! I grabbed this one a while ago (July 2018), but have yet to get around to reading it. However, it does seem pretty cute. Have you read this one? What did you think?
When my manager assigns me the task of finding a new wake up call service for our CEO, I think, how hard can this be?
Answer: practically impossible. It turns out that no wake-up call company in the world will take him on as a client. They’ve all had enough of his surly personality.
So in an effort not to lose my job, I secretly start making the calls myself, every day at 4:30 am sharp. OMG yes you read that right—four freaking thirty in the morning.
Confession: I’m not the nicest wake-up-call girl at that hour. Hello! Who wakes up before the roosters are even crowing? Luckily he doesn’t seem to mind my get-your-ass-out-of-bed attitude.
Day by day we’re becoming closer, and the calls start turning hot, like pay-by-the-minute hot and oh-so-wild. Snuggled under the covers with the moonlight streaming in the windows, we divulge our secrets to each other, but the one thing that he can never find out is that the sexy vixen who wakes him up every morning is just the lowly assistant who wears frumpy dresses. I can only imagine his disappointment.
Now he wants to take me out on a date and he’s scouring Manhattan to find me. He’s an overachieving billionaire bent on a mission. How much longer can I keep up this charade?

I enjoyed The Billionaire’s Wake-up Call Girl on audio. It was cute and I gave the story a B+. I tried a couple more in the series and thought they were “meh.”
That’s a lot of very similar covers.
The Billionaire’s Wake-up Call Girl is one of my favorites–hilarious AND sexy. I’m not usually a re-reader, but I’ve read that one twice. Other books in the series are also laugh-out-loud funny, particularly the Fake Fiancee one, and Most Eligible Billionaire. I’m passionate about these books–they got me through the 2020 US presidential election when, if I wasn’t reading them, all I could do was constantly refresh the news.
Tor.com is giving away three free ebooks through the 18th.
All Systems Red, Silver in the Woods, and Witchmark.
Don’t know if it’s a bundle or if they’re separate, since they’re all books they’ve given away before and I managed to pick them up back then.
Thanks so much, @Lena/Ren! I snapped up that Tor deal.
I rarely read contemporaries but The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancee was so cute, that I’m going to try another Annika Martin book.
If the Shoe Fits is my pick here; I went lower on Satisfaction than y’all did, but it still landed in solid B territory, as did the others here for me.
NOT a romance, more minor horror/feminist lit, but Kim Jiyoung, born 1982 by Cho Nam Joo is on sale for 2.99. Quick read, really didn’t see where it was going, but I loved it. Usually having the constant undervaluing of women in society as a plot just frustrates me, but with this one I felt seen – like all the micro aggressions aren’t just me being crazy!

Seconding/thirding THE BILLIONAIRE’S WAKE-UP-CALL GIRL (hyphen placement very important there). Annika Martin writes what I describe as “rom-coms with serious centers” and all of the books in her Billionaires in Manhattan series qualify for that description. I thought Martin did a pretty good job of making it seem plausible that, in this day and age, someone would still need an actual phone call with a real human voice at the end of the line to wake them up in the morning. There’s also really good female friendship representation in all the books in the series. Recommended.
