The Summer Escape
The Summer Escape by Jill Shalvis is $1.99! I feel like Shalvis is one of the queens of small town romances. The cover is beautifully aspirational; I’m a sucker for mountains. This is book six in the Sunrise Cove series.
Secrets are revealed and forbidden sparks ignited in this sizzling Sunrise Cove tale of enemies to lovers, redemption, missing treasures, and love.
Anna Moore didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go on a wild quest — especially since her life no longer lends itself to wild anything — so how in the world does she end up racing against the clock with Owen Harris, a sexy, enigmatic adventurist, to prove her beloved dad innocent of stealing a million-dollar necklace?
It’s all Wendy’s fault. Her older, bossy sister, who’s seven months pregnant and on bed rest in their small Lake Tahoe hometown, is desperate to clear their dad’s name. Owen though is convinced he’s guilty as hell and wants to return the jewelry back to its rightful owner—his elderly great aunt. Together they go on a scavenger hunt for clues to the past (with Wendy remotely along for the ride via an ear bud, supplying a running wry commentary to boot).
On opposing sides and suspicious of each other as they are, Anna and Owen still can’t deny the inexplicable and explosive chemistry between them on this heart-stopping adventure, the outcome of which will prove the necklace isn’t the only thing stolen — their hearts have been as well.

RECOMMENDED: The Dragon and the Pearl by Jeannie Lin is $1.99! Ellen reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
The Dragon and the Pearl is an enjoyable romance between two complicated characters with an intriguing dynamic. At its core, this book is a masterful character and relationship study, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys jaded heroes and heroines with an edge, non-European historical settings, and a romance that involves an ongoing battle of wills.
Former Emperor’s consort Ling Suyin is renowned for her beauty; the ultimate seductress. Now she lives quietly alone–until the most ruthless warlord in the region comes and steals her away…
Li Tao lives life by the sword, and is trapped in the treacherous, lethal world of politics. The alluring Ling Suyin is at the center of the web. He must uncover her mystery without falling under her spell–yet her innocence calls out to him. How cruel if she, of all women, can entrance the man behind the legend…

The Luckiest Lady in London by Sherry Thomas is $2.99! This is book one in The London Trilogy series. I’d love to hear thoughts from the Bitchery about this series or Thomas’s earlier historical romances
From the superbly gifted Sherry Thomas comes this beautifully written romance about a marriage of convenience that turns inconveniently passionate…
Felix Rivendale, the Marquess of Wrenworth, is The Ideal Gentleman, a man all men want to be and all women want to possess. Even Felix himself almost believes this golden image. But underneath is a damaged soul soothed only by public adulation.
Louisa Cantwell needs to marry well to support her sisters. She does not, however, want Lord Wrenworth–though he seems inexplicably interested in her. She mistrusts his outward perfection, and the praise he garners everywhere he goes. Still, when he is the only man to propose at the end of the London season, she reluctantly accepts.
Louisa does not understand her husband’s mysterious purposes, but she cannot deny the pleasure her body takes in his touch. Nor can she deny the pull this magnetic man exerts upon her. But does she dare to fall in love with a man so full of dark secrets, any one of which could devastate her, if she were to get any closer?

She’s No Princess by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! This is book four in the Guilty series. Book one is one of my favorite historical romances. For this romance, the hero is tasked with finding a husband for the heroine.
A diplomat is tasked with finding a husband for the king’s illegitimate daughter in this Regency romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.
The illegitimate daughter of a prince and a notorious courtesan, Lucia has been confined to schools and convents for most of her life. But that hasn’t stopped her from causing one scandal after another. Exasperated, her royal father decides that his exquisite hellion of a daughter must be married immediately. And Sir Ian Moore, Britain’s most proper diplomat, is the perfect man to choose her a groom.
Diplomacy, not matchmaker, is Ian’s forte, but he vows to get Lucia married off as soon as possible so that he may return to his real duties. Yet, despite an abundance of very eager, worthwhile candidates, none is a match for Lucia’s spirit and fire. And the more time Ian spends with the infuriating beauty, the more reluctant he is to marry her off. Could it be that he has already found Lucia the perfect husband…and it is Ian himself?

I love Sherry Thomas’ historicals! Such a gifted author with just the right mix of tragedy, smartness and humour! The Luckiest Lady in London and His at Night are my absolute favourites and I reread them when i need to feel safe in a competent romance writer’s web. There’s something about the role playing and hidden hurts that gets me, every time!
If you haven’t read Sherry Thomas – I urge you to do so.
I’m going to second the love for Sherry Thomas’ historicals. Her Not Quite a Husband is one of my favorites and I re-read that on the regular. For some reason, I especially enjoy the battle scenes. Totally plays into my medical background and my lifelong interest in the history of the Raj.

I love Laura Lee Guhrke’s books.
Another Sherry Thomas fan here. And how I miss her romance writing. Sigh. . . . However, Luckiest Lady in London features a morally gray MMC who, IIRC, was not to everyone’s taste when the book came out. I kind of enjoy shady characters if they are interesting and have a solid, believable growth arc, so I really enjoyed this book. Also, I believe the FMC kicks his ass.
I miss Thomas’s historicals too; the Lady Sherlock series holds no interest for me whatsoever. Nothing she wrote ever quite fit the mold, and while I haven’t read this one in a while, I remember really liking it. Iirc it was inspired by Loretta Chase’s DUKE OF SCOUNDRELS but with the hero dealing with his trauma in the opposite way.
Lin is another historical author I miss. Something about her character psychologies and pacing of the romance often doesn’t quite work for me, but she can world-build like nobody’s business; you can practically smell the noodles cooking. I’m a fantasy reader first and foremost, so I’m picky about world-building and am rarely impressed by it in the romance genre. Lin is invariably the first exception I think of.
@flchen1: those mountain men sure love them a curvy gal! Lol
@DiscoDollyDeb, apparently, LOL!! 😉
Sherry Thomas is one of my top historical romance authors (still sad that she’s not currently writing in the genre), and The Luckiest Lady in London might be favorite of all her books/is a strong contender for my favorite historical romance of all time!
