Call Me Maybe
Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone is 99c! Bastone’s romances have been previously recommended in the comments. This one was originally released on audio and judging by the description, I’d assume it was pretty cute. This is also on the shorter side at a little over 200 pages.
The audio bestseller, available for the first time in ebook! True love is on the line in Cara Bastone’s charming, laugh-out-loud rom-com, perfect for fans of Netflix’s Love is Blind, Jo Watson, Lauren Layne and Hannah Orenstein!
Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth…when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Cal. He’s surprisingly helpful and really knows his stuff, even if he’s a little awkward…in an adorable way.
And suddenly I’m flirting with him? And I think he’s flirting back.
And suddenly it’s been hours, and we’re still on the phone talking and ordering each other takeout while he troubleshoots my website.
And suddenly we’re exchanging numbers and sending texts and DMs every day, leaving voice mails (who even does that anymore?!).
And suddenly I’m wondering if it’s possible for two people to fall in love at first talk.
Because I’m falling…hard.

Mad for a Mate
Mad for a Mate by MaryJanice Davidson is $1.99! This is a paranormal romance with shifters. Davidson’s books don’t work for me personally, as they love a pun and are a little silly. But of course, that may be just your kind of catnip!
Beloved and bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson is back with a hilarious and heartfelt shifter romance:
– A delightful cast of shifters and supernatural creatures
– Side-splitting hijinks that’ll make you snort-laugh
– Slow-burn romanceVerity Lane might be a Shifter who can’t shift (known as a “squib”)—but woe betide anyone who tries to tell her who she is or what she’s capable of. She’s a proud member of a club for squibs out to prove themselves by participating in dangerous stunts. Which is probably how she ended up on this strange island…
Bear shifter Magnus Berne wants two things: to connect with his motherless goddaughter, and to find out who keeps dumping dead bodies on his property. When he discovers Verity on his island, he’s determined to get some answers—but it’s clear that whoever has been killing squibs is just as resolved to keep it quiet. And now that Verity is in the crosshairs, they’ll have to move quickly to stay ahead, stay alive, and stay together.

The Perfect Escape
The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park is $1.99! This is one of Park’s YA romance novels and was featured on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I’m definitely intrigued by the escape room element!
Love is a battlefield in this hysterical rom-com debut, perfect for fans of Jenny Han.

Worlds collide when Nate and Kate meet at the zombie-themed escape room where they both work.

The Palace Job
The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes is $1.99! This is a fantasy adventure book and was recommend in two Rec Leagues: Adventure Romance and Heist Books. Here are what commenters have said:
Judy W: If you like fantasy at all I remember recently reading The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes that was a heist caper in a Game of Thrones type setting.
KB: My rec is The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes, it’s the first of a trilogy and all three are really fun. The mastermind is a black woman, the crew is hysterical – the interactions of the secondary characters/crew might be my favorite part of heist stories – and it’s really funny with great dialog. There are a couple of interesting romances, but the focus is on the heist(s). It’s like Leverage, a show I loved.
Mikki: Patrick Weekes worked on Mass Effect, and Palace Job has the whole assembling a diverse cast of characters to exchange snark and save the world but in a fantasy setting, for anyone who likes those games.
Loch is seeking revenge.
It would help if she wasn’t in jail.
The plan: to steal a priceless elven manuscript that once belonged to her family, but now is in the hands of the most powerful man in the Republic. To do so Loch—former soldier, former prisoner, current fugitive—must assemble a crack team of magical misfits that includes a cynical illusionist, a shapeshifting unicorn, a repentant death priestess, a talking magical warhammer, and a lad with seemingly no skills to help her break into the floating fortress of Heaven’s Spire and the vault that holds her family’s treasure—all while eluding the unrelenting pursuit of Justicar Pyvic, whose only mission is to see the law upheld.
What could possibly go wrong?
The Palace Job is a funny, action-packed, high-fantasy heist caper in the tradition of Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastards series, from debut author Patrick Weekes.

I picked up THE PALACE JOB after one of those Rec Leagues, and it might well be the single best recommendation the Bitchery has ever given me. The mastermind heroine is awesome, the rest of the crew is diverse and hilarious, the world building simultaneously pokes gentle fun at fantasy tropes while being surprisingly thorough and consistent (this is not a wallpaper fantasy, it’s quite legit), and the whole book strikes exactly the right tone. Just a really fun, really well done book.
There are two sequels; sadly, they don’t quite live up to the promise of this one (the second one in particular had some significant pacing issues), but they were still a fun read, and I felt that the trilogy did stick its landing in the end, which I’d been (unnecessarily) concerned about after the somewhat rocky middle book.
Call Me Maybe, for me, commits the sin of *spoiler* ending right when the MCs meet face to face. This ruins the whole story for me, although I did enjoy the ride more than the slog that was Our Stop.
I really enjoyed The Palace Job trilogy. There’s tons of action and a fair number of deaths, and yet it seems cozy in the friendships, romances, and entertaining heists.
Mercy (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate is $0.99 today on Amazon US; D/s kink club romance with a dominant heroine and a younger submissive hero
“That’s the fastest I’ve ever seen anyone break through a floor.”Kail’s voice shone with admiration.
“Besyn larveth’is”, [The warhammer] said modestly.
If you snickered, then probably The Palace Job is for you.
I absolutely LOVED Call Me Maybe. I stayed in bed half the morning while on vacation to read it.
