That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon
RECOMMENDED: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is $2.99! I love the new covers! Carrie recently reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This book was perfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA.
Spice trader Cinnamon’s quiet life is turned upside down when she ends up on a quest with a fiery demon, in this irreverently quirky rom-com fantasy that is sweet, steamy, and funny as hell.
All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn’t involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the goddess has favorites, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them.
After Cin saves the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, Fallon reveals that all he really wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And who can blame him? But now he’s dragging Cinnamon along for the ride whether she likes it or not. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.…

Heartsong
Heartsong by TJ Klune is $2.99! This is part of the m/m shifter romance series, Green Creek. All of the books were recentishly picked up by Tor and received a hardcover release with a covver redesign.
The Bennett family has a secret: They’re not just a family, they’re a pack. Heartsong is Robbie Fontaine’s story.
All Robbie Fontaine ever wanted was a place to belong. After the death of his mother, he bounces around from pack to pack, forming temporary bonds to keep from turning feral. It’s enough—until he receives a summons from the wolf stronghold in Caswell, Maine. Life as the trusted second to Michelle Hughes—the Alpha of all—and the cherished friend of a gentle old witch teaches Robbie what it means to be pack, to have a home. But when a mission from Michelle sends Robbie into the field, he finds himself questioning where he belongs and everything he’s been told.
Whispers of traitorous wolves and wild magic abound—but who are the traitors and who the betrayed? More than anything, Robbie hungers for answers, because one of those alleged traitors is Kelly Bennett—the wolf who may be his mate.
The truth has a way of coming out. And when it does, everything will shatter.
The Green Creek Series is for adult readers.

Never Blow a Kiss
Never Blow a Kiss by Lindsay Lovise is $3.99! This is book one in The Secret Society of Governess Spies series. I featured this one on a previous edition of Get Rec’d. I’ve complained before that I feel like we’re in a historical romance drought right now, especially when it comes to newer voices, so I was happy to discover this one.
In this delightfully witty Victorian romance, a governess spy running away from her past falls for an ex-soldier turned railroad magnate—perfect for fans of Manda Collins and Bridgerton!
The utterly charming Emily Leverton has a dark past and is determined to leave it behind in her respectable new role as a governess. But when she is recruited by a secret network of governesses who spy on the ton, it may just be a way to redeem the dark secrets of her past.
Straddling the worlds of the ton and the working class, as an ex-solider turned railroad magnate, Zach hunts killers for the Metropolitan Police by day and dutifully attends balls at night. In neither world has he met a woman with the brazenness to mock him. So when a saucy governess blows him a kiss he is determined to catch her, never expecting that when he does he will find an intelligent, quirky woman hiding more than her true name. As Zach peels back the layers of Emily’s lies, he falls for the street-wise woman who handles a dagger like a pro and kisses like a mistress. But when his affair with Emily intertwines with his hunt for a killer, he discovers Emily is hiding an explosive secret—one that could destroy them both.

Something About You
RECOMMENDED: Something About You by Julie James is $1.99! This is the very first James book I read and it’s the first in the FBI/US Attorney series. James does competence porn really well and this ranks high on my enemies to lovers catnip.
There’s something about the New York Times bestselling Julie James…
FATE HAS THROWN TWO SWORN ENEMIES…
Of all the hotel rooms rented by all the adulterous politicians in Chicago, female Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde had to choose the one next to 1308, where some hot-and-heavy lovemaking ends in bloodshed. And of all the FBI agents in Illinois, it had to be Special Agent Jack Pallas who gets assigned to this high-profile homicide. The same Jack Pallas who still blames Cameron for a botched crackdown three years ago—and nearly ruining his career……INTO EACH OTHER’S ARMS
Work with Cameron Lynde? Are they kidding? Maybe, Jack thinks, this is some kind of welcome-back prank after his stint away from Chicago. But it’s no joke: the pair is going to have to put their rocky past behind them and focus on the case at hand. That is, if they can cut back on the razor-sharp jibes—and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension…Add to Goodreads To-Read List →

I reeeeally wanted to like Never Blow a Kiss because I am a sucker for historicals with espionage, but I found the heroine nearly TSTL–or at the very least, “too stupid to be a believable spy.” I wouldn’t recommend to my friends here.
@Jen- SAME!! This book should have been like catnip to me, but it didn’t work at all. The writing was choppy and the characters (especially the heroine) were really uneven.
I really don’t understand the cover for the Julie James book (and the rest of the series). At all. They’re all kicky skirt, high heels, walking on the beach. Then you read the description (and I’ve read all the whole series!) and they’re NOTHING like this. It’s just such a strange choice, but it’s clearly deliberate.
The book itself is really good – I have no idea if it’s an accurate representation of the sort of tradeoffs that have to be made in the US justice system, but I thought it was an interesting look at the tension between investigation and prosecution. And yes, fully agree, this book was ALL about the competence porn.

I’ll add my recommendation for Something About You by Julie James. I liked this and the others in the series.
@Ely I agree about the covers. If I remember correctly, the original cover was a woman in a hot pink bridesmaid dress because she was in a wedding and that was the correct color.
I reread the entire Julie James canon a couple of years ago, and this one is probably the best. She seems to only be comfortable writing antagonists-to-lovers setups, but the actual contexts in the books don’t always make that dynamic make sense, and the results can be sort of weird. This one is one where that dynamic really works. It’s also not the one with the truly vile MMC.
