RECOMMENDED: A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows is $2.99! Carrie read this and gave it a B+ (check her review for triggers):
If Game of Thrones was about two brilliant cinnamon roll heroes in a world where a few people are vile and a few people are ruthless, but most people are either flat-out awesome or at the very least pretty OK, it would sort of resemble this book.
Book Review
Christmas with the Queen by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
Christmas with the Queen is a cozy historical romance that would be perfect for fans of The Crown or anglophiles in general. The royal family are a backdrop to this romance, but it’s not about them directly. It’s also a blend of historical fiction and romance that I think will work for non-romance readers. The book alternates between VE Day in 1945, and the “present” day in the 1950’s. The book opens in 1952 with … Continue reading Christmas with the Queen by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb

Christmas Romances, Bridgerton, & More
The Briar Club by Kate Quinn is $1.99! Quinn writes some great historical fiction and this one came out over the summer. We featured it on Hide Your Wallet. I can also understand if reading about McCarthyism feels a little too much right now.

The Flamingo’s Fated Mate by Elva Birch
If you’ve ever dreamed of love between a woman and a flamingo, then your wish is granted. The Flamingo’s Fated Mate, the first in a series of novellas about Lawn Ornament shifters, tells of romance between a baker and a millionaire who is also a flamingo shifter. I present the following without judgment, purely for your factual edification: No one has sex in the form of a flamingo (lawn ornament or actual). The sex that … Continue reading The Flamingo’s Fated Mate by Elva Birch

Q&A: Amy Zed and Jennifer Estep
Hi Smart Bitches readers! I’m Amy Zed, author of A Symphony of Starlight, a sci-fi romantasy debuting January first. As a new author, I’ve had many star-eye-emoji-worthy moments in the last few months, from getting my first edit letter to holding the first printed copy of my novel in my hands. But even when I was cradling my first author copy, I never imagined I’d get the chance to interview one of my all-time favorite … Continue reading Q&A: Amy Zed and Jennifer Estep

Movie Review: Hot Frosty
Oh Dear Readers, what can I possibly tell you about Hot Frosty that you don’t already know? That it has some fish out of water jokes? That it it takes place in a quirky small town? That romance wins in the end? You know all this. Either you like the Netflix versions of Hallmark Christmas movies or you do not. If you do not, then no amount of shirtless Dustin Mulligan will save you. If … Continue reading Movie Review: Hot Frosty
