  • Well Matched

    Well Matched by Jen DeLuca

    Well Matched by Jen DeLuca is $2.99! This is DeLuca’s latest release in her contemporary ren faire romances. I believe there’s another on the way? The series has been reviewed well here and seems great for some low angsty reads, but correct me if I’m wrong.

    An accidentally in-love rom-com filled with Renaissance Faire flower crowns, kilts, corsets, and sword fights.

    Single mother April Parker has lived in Willow Creek for twelve years with a wall around her heart. On the verge of being an empty nester, she’s decided to move on from her quaint little town, and asks her friend Mitch for his help with some home improvement projects to get her house ready to sell.

    Mitch Malone is known for being the life of every party, but mostly for the attire he wears to the local Renaissance Faire–a kilt (and not much else) that shows off his muscled form to perfection. While he agrees to help April, he needs a favor too: she’ll pretend to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family dinner, so that he can avoid the lectures about settling down and having a more “serious” career than high school coach and gym teacher. April reluctantly agrees, but when dinner turns into a weekend trip, it becomes hard to tell what’s real and what’s been just for show. But when the weekend ends, so must their fake relationship.

    As summer begins, Faire returns to Willow Creek, and April volunteers for the first time. When Mitch’s family shows up unexpectedly, April pretends to be Mitch’s girlfriend again…something that doesn’t feel so fake anymore. Despite their obvious connection, April insists they’ve just been putting on an act. But when there’s the chance for something real, she has to decide whether to change her plans–and open her heart–for the kilt-wearing hunk who might just be the love of her life.

  • Whiteout

    Whiteout by Adriana Anders

    RECOMMENDED: Whiteout by Adriana Anders is $1.99! Elyse gave this one an A-:

    I love romantic suspense with survival elements (especially cold weather survival) and I also really enjoyed the espionage/global threat aspect of the mystery. I wish I’d read the prequel novella first, but it wasn’t a huge issue, and I’m delighted to have a new series to look forward to.

    Angel Smith is finally ready to leave Antarctica for a second chance at life. But on what was meant to be her last day, the remote research station she’s been calling home is attacked. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives…only to realize that in a place this remote, there’s nowhere left to run.

    Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman at their heels, Angel and Ford must fight to survive in the most inhospitable—and beautiful—place on earth. But what starts as a partnership born of necessity quickly turns into an urgent connection that burns bright and hot. They both know there is little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to survive against the odds—and possibly, the world.

  • The Witches Are Coming

    The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West

    The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! A bunch of us were excited for this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet. While this nonfiction may be a cathartic read, it also might be a little heavy right now.

    The firebrand New York Times columnist and bestselling author of Shrill–soon to be a Hulu series starring Aidy Bryant–provides a brilliant and incisive look at how patriarchy, intolerance, and misogyny have conquered not just politics but American culture itself.

    What do Adam Sandler, Donald Trump, and South Park have in common? Why are myths like “reverse sexism” and “political correctness” so seductive? And why do movie classics of yore, from Sixteen Candles to Revenge of the Nerds, make rape look like so much silly fun? With Lindy West’s signature wit and in her uniquely incendiary voice, THE WITCHES ARE COMING lays out a grand theory of America that explains why Trump’s election was, in many ways, a foregone conclusion.

    As West reveals through fascinating journeys across the landscapes of pop culture, the lies that fostered the catastrophic resentment that boiled over in the 2016 presidential race did not spring from a vacuum. They have in fact been woven into America’s DNA, cultivated by generations of mediocre white men and fed to the masses with such fury that we have become unable to recognize them as lies at all.

    Whether it be the notion overheard since the earliest moments of the #MeToo movement that feminism has gone too far or the insistence that holding someone accountable for his actions amounts to a “witch hunt,” THE WITCHES ARE COMING exposes the lies that many have chosen to believe and the often unexpected figures who have furthered them. Along the way, it unravels the tightening link between culture and politics, identifying in the memes, music, and movies we’ve loved the seeds of the neoreactionary movement now surging through the nation.

    Sprawling, funny, scorching, and illuminating, THE WITCHES ARE COMING shows West at the top of her intellectual and comic powers. As much a celebration of America’s potential as a condemnation of our failures, some will call it a witch hunt. To which West would reply, so be it: “I’m a witch and I’m hunting you.”

  • Yours Cruelly, Elvira

    Yours Cruelly, Elvira by Cassandra Peterson

    Yours Cruelly, Elvira by Cassandra Peterson is $3.99 and another KDD! This is a memoir by none other than Elvia, Mistress of the Dark. Hello! I will warn that Elvira discusses her miscarriages and sexual assault in her memoir, if those are sensitive topics for some of you.

    The woman behind the icon known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, the undisputed Queen of Halloween, reveals her full story, filled with intimate bombshells, told by the bombshell herself.

    On Good Friday in 1953, at only 18 months old, 25 miles from the nearest hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, Cassandra Peterson reached for a pot on the stove and doused herself in boiling water. Third-degree burns covered 35% of her body, and the prognosis wasn’t good. But she survived. Burned and scarred, the impact stayed with her and became an obstacle she was determined to overcome. Feeling like a misfit led to her love of horror. While her sisters played with Barbie dolls, Cassandra played with model kits of Frankenstein and Dracula, and idolized Vincent Price.

    Due to a complicated relationship with her mother, Cassandra left home at 14, and by age 17 she was performing at the famed Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. Run-ins with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, and Tom Jones helped her grow up fast. Then a chance encounter with her idol Elvis Presley, changed the course of her life forever, and led her to Europe where she worked in film and traveled Italy as lead singer of an Italian pop band. She eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she joined the famed comedy improv troupe, The Groundlings, and worked alongside Phil Hartman and Paul “Pee-wee” Reubens, honing her comedic skills.

    Nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime, she auditioned at local LA channel KHJ as hostess for the late night vintage horror movies. Cassandra improvised, made the role her own, and got the job on the spot. Yours Cruelly, Elvira is an unforgettably wild memoir. Cassandra doesn’t shy away from revealing exactly who she is and how she overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. Always original and sometimes outrageous, her story is loaded with twists, travails, revelry, and downright shocking experiences. It is the candid, often funny, and sometimes heart-breaking tale of a Midwest farm girl’s long strange trip to become the world’s sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon.

    “The Long Game”, the final book in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series, is currently US$1.99 on Amazon.

  2. Ariadna says:

    Adding warnings for the Elvira autobiography (which I actually liked, btw):

    – on-page description of a murder Cassandra Peterson witnessed (Chapter 15);
    – several instances of sexual harassment she’s experienced;
    – parental (emotional) abuse;
    – mentions of domestic violence.

    Also, Peterson’s sense of humor is not for everyone. In the sense that, some of it tiptoes pretty close (if not, crosses the line) to being offensive.

    For the positive side, Peterson has had a super interesting life and has met many, many celebs. I’d recommend this book to either Elvira fans or people who like to read celebrity biographies.

  3. Tam says:

    Please tell me that in Whiteout there’s only one bed..? Why would a remote research station need more, right?

  4. Mikey says:

    “Nearing age 30, a struggling actress considered past her prime”

    Sheesh. Hollywood is weird with age.

  5. omphale says:

    Well Met is one of those single-POV romances that would never work as a dual POV because it is so dependent on the main character being emotionally obtuse. IMO, those really only work when the non-POV character really *is* emotionally closed off (Noelle Adams does/did those kinds of stories really well; Boyfriend Material is a good example of a single-POV that worked for me).

    Unfortunately, this isn’t true for Mitch, and so April’s consistent misreading of his character and intentions just was so painful. It is a shame because I think this pairing was DeLuca’s strongest within this world.

  6. Emily B says:

    Love the whole DeLuca series. She does a great job in this one fleshing out the male character who came across as kind of a himbo in the previous books. Can’t wait for the next one. Whiteout really worked for me, much to my surprise because I usually find the whole disaster, we’re on the run in wilderness and haven’t showered in days but somehow still find time for sex really unbelievable. Anders’ follow up to this one unfortunately fell prey to that issue for me, but ymmv.

  7. Ulrike says:

    The main character of Well Matched needs therapy more than she needs a boyfriend. The premise was great, but the execution was not.

  8. Ely says:

    @Tam, there is indeed only one bed.

    One of the things I loved about WHITEOUT was that the H and h take turns being strong. I think Sandy B had some fantastic advice in Speed: relationships based on intense experiences never work. Whiteout feels like a good exception to that rule.

  9. AmandaG says:

    WHITEOUT sounds right up my alley! Any recommendations on other similar romantic suspense books?

  10. Jennifer says:

    I loved the idea of the RenFaire series–the first one was fun, second was okay–but the third bored me so much I DNF’d. Didn’t even have enough conflict, they just kinda instantly got together, it’s totally fine to share a bed, people are chatting about guacamole…yawn, yawn, yawn. I think I’m really sick of “sweet” romances that just don’t have enough drama. If you get together and it’s like a comfy pair of slippers, why keep reading?

  11. LML says:

    @AmandaG, read all the books by Adriana Anders, then see if you enjoy Rebecca Zanetti’s books. Janet Elizabeth Henderson’s series is probably my favorite, I think of her books as suspense light. Her characters are sharply created and interesting. I also enjoyed Katie Ruggle’s books.

  12. Emily B says:

    @AmandaG – Suzanne Brockman’s Troubleshooters series is an oldie but a goodie. First book came out in 2000, but I binged through them all a few years ago and I think they hold up. Navy Seals, interconnected characters – Sam and Alyssa remain one of my all time fave book couples.

  13. AmandaG says:

    @Emily B – Suzanne Brockmann’s Troubleshooter series is one of my top 3 series!

    Another book that falls somewhat in to this type of book (cold weather, espionage, global threat) is Dan Brown’s Deception Point, which I really like. Although that one is not a romance.
