Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon is $1.99! This released over the summer and is a Critical Role tie-in. However, I think people should be fine without needing to be familiar with the source material. Please let me know if I’m wrong!
RECOMMENDED: The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley is $1.99! I loved this book and give it five stars on Goodreads. It’s easily one of my favorite historical romance and it recently showed up in the comments of our Rec League: Unassuming, Underestimated Heroes post. However, some readers didn’t feel any love necessarily between the hero and heroine. For those who have read this, what did you think?
RECOMMENDED: How Not to Fall by Emily Foster is $2.99! I enjoyed this book and gave it a B:
I would recommend this book, honestly. The smart characters and Annie’s earnestness as a heroine are so refreshing, despite the emotional shift in the narrative. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to scramble for the continuation because I want to know what Emily Foster will do with these characters. And while I struggled with various aspects of How Not to Fall, I think it’s always a good sign when I still want to know what an author is going to do next
We also had a guest review, and Reader Sabra Nicole gave it an A:
I highly recommend this book to people (all genders, everyone) who are maaaybe, possibly interested in exploring BDSM themes in contemporary romantic-comedy, but are a little intimidated by the genre, or unsure where to even find that unique genre mish-mash. Since the kink leans more towards BDSM-light, it is a pleasant, sexy alternative for those who were left feeling limp (tee hee) after reading 50 Shades, but who aren’t quite ready to read about hard core couples in the BDSM scene. Even if BDSM isn’t your cup of tea, I’d still recommend giving this book a shot. The humor, brilliant characters, and heart make How Not to Fall a compelling read that you will be tempted to read again, and again.

In the fourth novel in Anne Bishop’s New York Times bestselling series, the Others will need to decide how much humanity they’re willing to tolerate—both within themselves and their community… Since the Others allied themselves with the cassandra sangue, the fragile yet powerful human blood prophets who were being exploited by their own kind, the dynamic between humans and Others has changed. Some, such as Simon Wolfgard, wolf shifter and leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, and blood … Continue reading Marked in Flesh
There’s something about this request that made me so happy, mainly because I was completely stumped and the requester, Susan, has a very good point: So many books I read and love celebrate monarchies, all powerful rulers, pack masters, dominant werewolves, vampires, etc. Are there romances, especially paranormals that celebrate consensual government not based on the strongest most powerful man/woman/monster being the ruler? Ellen: I feel like the entire overall arc of the Psy-Changeling series … Continue reading The Rec League: Democratic Systems in Paranormal & Fantasy Romances
This suggestions comes from Rebecca in the comments of our Submit Your Rec League post: Heroes and heroines with unsexy jobs- e.g. administrators, accountants, city clerk. No lawyer/doctor/architect/owner of charming small business. HR professionals fall in love too! Carrie: Both the upcoming A Princess for Christmas and Get a Life, Chloe Brown have heroes who are apartment building supervisors/maintenance workers and the hero of Take a Hint, Dani Brown is a security worker at a … Continue reading The Rec League: “Unsexy Jobs”
This is a purely selfish post inspired by a lot of squeeing I’ve been doing with my fellow reviewers over the spooky season. Which books speak to your inner (or outer) goth, whether it appeals to your 16-year-old self just going through a phase or your adult witchy aesthetic? Amanda: Obviously Gideon the Ninth and Wicked Saints. Elyse: Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake Claudia: I’m going to be a little wide of the mark … Continue reading The Rec League: Books for Your Inner Goth
It’s that time again! The time where we all talk about the things we’ve been reading and try not to blow our book budget in one sitting. Some months are tougher than others. Here’s hoping this one isn’t too strenuous on your wallet! Sarah: Currently I’m still listening to Devil’s Bride by Stephanie Laurens , which I’ve read a few thousand times but the audiobook, as I have told many people, is making me very … Continue reading Whatcha Reading?
