Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage is $1.99! This is the third book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. We mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet. The hero and heroine have a longstanding dislike for one another.
This HaBO is from Jennifer, who wants to find this Harlequin Romance: Looking for a 1980s Harlequin Romance (not Presents). Brown-toned cover. Contemporary setting. Hero played piano and sang Rod Stewart’s “You’re in My Heart” (“you’ll be my breath should I grow old”). Heroine cared for his niece and nephew while their mother received medical treatment and mother’s name was Marigold. The heroine met the mother and two children on a ship and helped because … Continue reading HaBO: “You’re in My Heart” by Rod Stewart
RECOMMENDED: Act Like It by Lucy Parker is $1.99! If you haven’t read this yet, it was one of Sarah’s favorites. She says, “I mean, I could squee at you some MORE beyond my review but I think you’ve heard me already. I loved this book. You should read it. It’s delightful.”

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo is $2.99! This is book two in the Ninth House series and it’s definitely a series that should be read in order. I highly recommend checking for triggers. I read book one and that one was pretty graphic.
This movie imprinted on me HARD. In 1990, I was 15. Pump Up the Volume blew my teenage mind. You could just…make up a radio show? (Well, at the time, no, the FCC got a little tetchy about it.) You could just…start talking? And see who connected with you? We didn’t have so much internet back then. AOL didn’t become AOL until 1991. The internet existed, but it was in limited use with limited access. I … Continue reading Friday Videos Pump Up the Volume
