Bombshell by Sarah MacLean is $1.99! This is the first book in the Hell’s Belles series. Book two is also on sale. Elyse gave this one a B-:
Objectively I can look at this book and say that some readers may have an issue with how much time spent on the girl-gang scenes versus the romance, but also ONE OF THEM SPECIALIZES IN EXPLOSIONS. I think part of this imbalance is to set up the rest of the series, but the gang’s quest for justice was very heisty and fun.

RECOMMENDED: After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne Long is $1.99! Fingers crossed this isn’t a deal from the weekend. Lara gave this one a Squee grade:
This romance just hit too many of my favourite buttons for me to be objective. For me, the highest praise I can give a romance novel is that it is original, and this book is that in every possible sense. Do not hesitate over that one-click button; I can guarantee reading satisfaction. Oh, to read this book again for the first time. I swoon!

It’s…a day. If this were a work of fiction, I’d have to ask the writers to go back over the plot for today because having the inauguration of a White supremacist fascist felon on the same day as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a bit much, honestly. I remember eight years ago, signing up for the Anti-Racism Daily, now Reimagined News, and seeing the words, “Your heart is a muscle the size of your … Continue reading Share the Goodness and Hold On →
I’m an absolute sucker for historical romance and this one did not disappoint.

So off she goes to London, ready to find herself a suitable man. And she does. But she doesn’t close the deal: her brother … Continue reading My Inconvenient Duke by Loretta Chase →
Valley Verified by Kyla Zhao is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! We featured this one on Cover Awe awhile back. I believe this one skews more toward Women’s Fiction and features a main character taking her skills to a new industry.

Joanna Shupe posted a TikTok on November 11, 2024, in response to angry readers chastising her for writing in her newsletter about her disappointment with the election results. I have included the audio with her permission. She says in her comments that she could teach a whole class about the parallels between the Gilded Age and the current political and cultural climate, which I am calling The Dumpster Age. I reached out and said, I … Continue reading 650. “I’m Going to Keep Daring” – Romance and History with Joanna Shupe →
RECOMMENDED: The Blighted Stars by Megan E. O’Keefe is $2.99! Elyse loved this scifi with romantic elements and gave it an A, but gave a warning:
The Blighted Stars is the first book in a series, so we don’t get a ton of resolution in this novel, romantic or otherwise. If you’re looking for a complete romantic arc, don’t start this book.

Simply put, what are you manifesting for your TBR pile or publishing this year? Elyse: I actually halved my reading goal from last year and unsubscribed to a lot of social media stuff regarding books. I feel like I got caught up in a lot of hype for not great books last year and that I consumed a lot without enjoying or processing it. My goal this year is to slow my reading down and … Continue reading Reading Manifestations for 2025 →
