A Bride for the Prizefighter
A Bride for the Prizefighter by Alice Coldbreath is $2.99! This is book one in the Victorian Prizefighters series. I’ve heard such good things about Coldbreath’s romance. Would you recommend starting here?
Mina’s well-ordered life is thrown into disarray when her father drops a bombshell on his deathbed: she has a brother she never knew of. Not only that, he is on his way to rescue her from the collapse of their school under a mountain of debts.
A wild journey across country later, Mina finds herself thrown at the feet of the brutish William Nye, prize-fighter and owner of a disreputable inn, The Merry Harlot. Respectable Mina is appalled to find herself obliged to wed this surly stranger!
Forced to draw on reserves of inner strength she never knew she possessed, Mina uncovers perilous secrets and bravely carves herself a new life at the side of this man, as she proves herself a more than worthy partner for the prize-fighter.

The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes
The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes by Xio Axelrod is $1.99! This came out in the spring and has second chance romance elements and characters involved in the music industry. This one had a lot of buzz. Did you read it?
Her name’s Antonia “Toni” Bennette (yeah, she’s heard all the jokes before) and she’s not a rock star. Neither are the Lillys—not yet. But the difference between being famous and being almost famous can be a single wrong note…or the start of something that’ll change your life forever.
Growing up in dive bars up and down the East Coast, Toni Bennette’s guitar was her only companion…until she met Sebastian Quick. Seb was a little older, a lot wiser, and before long he was Toni’s way out, promising they’d escape their stifling small town together. Then Seb turned eighteen and split without looking back.
Now, Toni’s all grown up and making a name for herself in Philadelphia’s indie scene. When a friend suggests she try out for a hot new up-and-coming band, Toni decides to take a chance. Strong, feminist, and fierce as fire, Toni B. and the Lillys are the perfect match…except Seb’s now moonlighting as their manager. Whatever. Toni can handle it. No problem. Or it wouldn’t be if Seb didn’t still hold a piece of her heart…not to mention the key to her future.

The synopsis of “Bride for the Prizefighter” makes it sound like she has to marry her half-brother? Please tell me that’s just poor editing.
@zuzus yes, it’s confusingly written and no, she’s not forced to marry her brother.
Rebellion Publishing seem to have a 99p/99c ebook sale at the moment – the exact books included seem to vary by region. Mainly sci-fi/fantasy, some with romance.

In the UK they include THE GOBLIN EMPEROR by Katherine Addison (which I loved and have seen rec’d by the Bitchery many times), as well as THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD which is the first in her follow-up series set in the same world. Very glad to grab these for such a good price! At a glance with a vpn the US sale doesn’t seem to have these unfortunately, but does have other titles I think I’ve seen mentioned here.
I fell down an Alice Coldbreath rabbit hole last week, and read four of her books from various series. She is a good writer, and I enjoyed them immensely. This would be a good book to try her writing, to see if it appeals to you – I have seen some complaints that not enough happens in them, but I did not find it so. The male main character in A Bride for the Prizefighter is a bit of an alpha blockhead, but he means well. It was interesting to read about regular and poor people in a historical. If you want to try one of her other books, I particularly enjoyed Her Baseborn Bridegroom, which takes place in an alternate universive – kings, queens, lords, etc., but not a world that actually exists.
Sad to see the cuts to scientific funding have forced Bill Nye to resorting to prizefighting.
I really enjoy Alice Coldbreath’s writing. The Victorian books are different from her medieval-ish books but I like both settings.
@BethB, thanks for the link! I got Saint Death’s Daughter (winner of the world fantasy award a couple of years ago, idk if romance) and Lady Eve’s Last Con (sapphic SF romance). The Goblin Emperor is sadly not available in the US.
I love Alice Coldbreath! This is the second best of the Victorians, and a great place to start. Her books set in an alternate medieval world are also great, but the prizefighter books are my favorite. The next one, A Substitute Bride for the Prizefighter, is a book I reread pretty regularly. Great romance in every way!
