A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin is $1.99! This one was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet, though we don’t have a formal review. Did any of you read it? What did you think?

The Lady Tempts an Heir by Harper St. George is $1.99! This is book three in the Gilded Age Heiresses series. I’m a big fan of these books and once I unpack my books, I plan on doing a reread. Are you also a fan?

RECOMMENDED: Just Playing House by Farah Heron is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Shana recently reviewed this one and gave it an A:
After I finished Just Playing House, I immediately ran around telling everyone I knew to read it. I’m totally obsessed with this second chance + celebrity romance. It was cozy but with enough emotional twists and turns to keep me interested.

A Duet with a Siren Duke by Elise Kova is $2.99! This is part of the Married to Magic series, which is often featured on Hide Your Wallet. Have any of you picked these up? What do you think of the series?

How to Catch a Queen by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This is the first book in Cole’s Runaway Royals spin-off series and released in December. I know a lot of us in Romancelandia were looking forward to this one. Have you read it yet?

Flare Up by Shannon Stacey is $1.99! This is a price-matched Kindle Daily Deal and part of the Boston Fire series. As the description notes, the heroine has some abuse in her backstory, which may or may not work for you as a reader. Personally, I am a little over it, but YMMV.

For a romance to work, I must have some attachment to both characters and want them to be together, and in this book, such is not the case. This book is … Continue reading The Earl Takes a Fancy by Lorraine Heath

The Truth About Cowboys by Lisa Renee Jones is 99c! This is the first book in a new series and seems to have a lot of catnip, but also a lot going on: small town, an athlete turned cowboy, opposites attract, and a writer heroine. Fans of Jones say they enjoyed the departure from her typical romantic suspense.
I read Beyond Scandal and Desire while I was on vacation, and while it may have worked really well for me five years ago, current Elyse is really frustrated with heroes who use the heroine as a device for their revenge. As much as I appreciated other aspects of the novel, my frustration with the overall plotline carried through the whole book. It did, however, teach me about the language of parasols. Lady Aslyn Hastings is … Continue reading Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath
