The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow is $2.99! Elyse read this one and gave it a B-:
I think fans of Pride and Prejudice will enjoy this novel, although it may not be very enjoyable for anyone who hasn’t read the original as we are expected to know this characters.
RECOMMENDED: The Bride by Julie Garwood is $1.99! This is one of my favorite historical romances and was one of my gateway reads to the genre, if you’ve listened to the What Made Us Romance Readers podcast episode. Kiki is also on a Julie Garwood kick, per out recent Whatcha Reading post.
Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne is $1.99! Elyse gave this one a B+:
The theme of slowly exiting your safe space when the time was right was so timely and on point for me. It was because Teddy was so kind and gentle with Ruthie in her journey to come out of her shell, and appreciative of who she was without wanting her to change (but supporting her desire to) that this book worked. When Teddy and Ruthie begin to fall for each other, it made total sense.
Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert is $1.99! It’s the third book in The Brown Sisters series, which we’ve all enjoyed at the site. Do you have a favorite of the three? Mine might be Take a Hint, Dani Brown.
Duke Darcy’s Castle by Syrie James is $1.99! This is the third Dare to Defy historical romance and I believe we snarked on this a little bit. I haven’t heard James’s books talked about a lot here. Have you read any?
Ice Cream Lover by Jackie Lau is $3.99! Holy abs, Batman! This is the second book in the Baldwin Village series, which can be read out of order. This series has a lot of foodie elements and is relatively low angst, which a lot of us are in the mood for right now.
The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King is $1.99! This is a biography of the late and great Mr. Rogers! Admittedly, I’m not a big nonfiction reader, but this sounds all sort of sweet and wholesome. I’ve yet to hear a bad word about Mr. Rogers.
RECOMMENDED: Grumpy Jake by Melissa Blue is 99c! This is a contemporary romance novella and Maya gave it an A-:
Grumpy Jake is a bite-sized delight that was joy to tear through in a sitting. It was low-drama, while also being compelling, empathetic, and kind. It’s a great example of how well a novella can work as it expertly delivers you to a HEA just brimming with possibility and I look forward to seeing what Melissa Blue writes next!
RECOMMENDED: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. I’m jealous of those who get to read this for the first time. We had a wonderful guest squee of this and it was my favorite read of 2018:
I truly loved this book. Loved. It made me feel like a champagne bubble – all fizzy and light. When I think of all the magical feelings romance gives its readers, I will forever think of this book.
An Heiress to Remember by Maya Rodale is $3.99! Elyse read this one and gave it a B:
So while it took me awhile to get into An Heiress to Remember, once the hero stopped being a door knob and got over himself, I found the romance compelling. Added to that great details about 19th century department stores as a feminist innovation and some solid femaile friendships, and I had a ton of fun.
