  • Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?

    Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

    Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is $1.99! I mentioned this on a previous Get Rec’d. It’s a funny, women’s fiction and I’ve been using it as a gateway recommendation to get people closer and closer to reading romance.

    Meet Yinka: a thirty-something, Oxford-educated, British Nigerian woman with a well-paid job, good friends, and a mother whose constant refrain is “Yinka, where is your huzband?”

    Yinka’s Nigerian aunties frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, her work friends think she’s too traditional (she’s saving herself for marriage!), her girlfriends think she needs to get over her ex already, and the men in her life…well, that’s a whole other story. But Yinka herself has always believed that true love will find her when the time is right.

    Still, when her cousin gets engaged, Yinka commences Operation Find-A-Date for Rachel’s Wedding. Aided by a spreadsheet and her best friend, Yinka is determined to succeed. Will Yinka find herself a huzband? And what if the thing she really needs to find is herself?

    Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? brilliantly subverts the traditional romantic comedy with an unconventional heroine who bravely asks the questions we all have about love. Wry, acerbic, moving, this is a love story that makes you smile but also makes you think–and explores what it means to find your way between two cultures, both of which are yours.

  • Once Ghosted, Twice Shy

    Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole

    Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This is a novella and Carrie gave it a B+:

    It’s part of the Reluctant Royals series but it works fine as a stand-alone. I loved this ramble through New York City and although the romance is a bit too rushed to be completely plausible, I’m certainly rooting for these two.

    Alyssa Cole returns with a fun, sexy romance novella in the Reluctant Royals series!

    While her boss the prince was busy wooing his betrothed, Likotsi had her own love affair after swiping right on a dating app. But her romance had ended in heartbreak, and now, back in NYC again, she’s determined to rediscover her joy—so of course she runs into the woman who broke her heart.

    When Likotsi and Fabiola meet again on a stalled subway train months later, Fab asks for just one cup of tea. Likotsi, hoping to know why she was unceremoniously dumped, agrees. Tea and food soon leads to them exploring the city together, and their past, with Fab slowly revealing why she let Likotsi go, and both of them wondering if they can turn this second chance into a happily ever after.

  • Maisie Dobbs

    Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear

    Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear is $2.99! This is the first book in a beloved (and very long) historical mystery series. I read this one and here are my thoughts: I wish it focused on the mystery more and wow, it will bum you out. Have you read them?

    Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence and the patronage of her benevolent employers, she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.

  • West Side Love Story

    West Side Love Story by Priscilla Oliveras

    West Side Love Story by Priscilla Oliveras is $2.49! This is an enemies to lovers romance between two characters from rival Mariachi families. I remember there being a lot going on when I started this one. Did you read it?

    A heart-stirring romance of star-crossed love, feuding familias, and the bonds of sisterhood by USA Today bestselling author Priscilla Oliveras.

    Two familias in Texas, both alike in dignity, rivalries, and passion…

    Having grown up in the nurturing household of Casa Capuleta, Mariana will do anything for familia. To solve her adoptive parents’ financial problems amid their rapidly changing San Antonio comunidad, Mariana and her younger sisters are determined to win the Battle of the Mariachi Bands. That means competing against Hugo Montero, their father’s archnemesis, and his band and escalating a decades-old feud. It also raises the stakes of Mariana’s forbidden attraction for a certain dark-eyed mariachi who sets her heart racing.

    To Angelo Montero’s familia, Mariana is also strictly off-limits. But that doesn’t stop him from pursuing her. As their secret affair intensifies and the competition grows fierce, they’re swept up in a brewing storm of betrayals, rivalries, and broken ties. Against the odds, they vow to bring peace. But sacrifices must be made and consequences weighed for two star-crossed lovers to make beautiful music together.

    @Amanda, re your Maisie Dobbs comment “…and wow, it will bum you out.” I can only sigh and think ‘how true’. Not that I discontinued reading the series.

  4. Susan/DC says:

    I loved the early Maisie Dobbs books. I thought Winspear did a wonderful job showing the impact of the massive losses from the Great War and how those losses were so very tragic but led to opportunities for those such as Maisie who’d previously been excluded. At a certain point, however, Winspear clearly felt the need to make some of these points explicit, and I thought the books became less powerful for telling rather than showing. Plus if one is bummed out by the first book, it only gets worse from there. Much of the tragedy is honestly earned, but I got tired of it by about book 12 and haven’t read any of the later ones.
