RECOMMENDED: Two Rogues Make a Right by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Lara wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A:
This review could easily extend to countless paragraphs of my simply listing the ways in which I love this book and what it has done for me, but I must stop so that you, dear Bitchery, can pick this book up and enjoy it yourselves.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Linnea: I am sure that no doctor except maybe a male sophomore or junior medical student would be wearing a stethoscope while shirtless. It was bad enough when they wore their little white coats on dates… Sarah: Intern! InterNips! Hang on what’s with his “belt?” Are those laceup pants? Or is he using string as a belt? What is happening there? He looks so bored. How do you wander … Continue reading Cover Snark: Celebrity Lookalikes

Happy Saturday! We’re closing out June with our second Whatcha Reading. Here’s what we’re reading right now: Sarah: I am about to start the audiobook of My Lady Jane because the trailer looked heckin sumptuous and I am very curious. Lara: I’ve wrapped up G A Aiken’s dragon series and I’m currently rereading her Scarred Earth series. Once this cross-country move is over, I’ll hopefully have the bandwidth for new-to-me books! Elyse: I’m reading Seasick … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? June 2024, Part Two
For Never & Always by Helena Greer is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, as are all of today’s sales. Several of us were excited for this one when it came out!
The Idea of You is an age gap celebrity romance where the heroine is older than the hero. I didn’t mind the age-gap portion (in fact I appreciate a book where the heroine is the older one), but I had a lot of issues with how the heroine’s relationship with the hero would and did impact her daughter. Also I was pretty surprised by the ending which is very different from the movie the book … Continue reading The Idea of You by Robinne Lee
Oriana Leckert is the Head of Publishing at Kickstarter, and works with the many, many authors who are finding community support on Kickstarter. They’re hosting a celebration all this month, Heartstrings & Hardbacks: Kickstarter and Romance, so we connected to talk about successful romance projects, strategies that work and don’t work on Kickstarter, and the evolution of fandom (a topic I’m always curious about). Oriana has worked in publishing for a long time, and applies … Continue reading 620. Romance and Kickstarter with Oriana Leckert
Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord by Celeste Connally is $2.99! This is book one in the Lady Petra Inquiries series. Sarah started listening to this one and said, “The heroine is very unconventional and I love her relationship with her friends.”
The cover for The Lifeguards is more fitting for a romantic comedy than this twisty, suburban thriller. Reminiscent of Big Little Lies, I think this book is a perfect fit for readers who want suspense and thrills without gore or terror. Focusing on the inner vs outer lives of three women, The Lifeguards follows Austinites Whitney, Liza and Annette. All three live in the same posh neighborhood and their respective fifteen-year-old boys are close friends, … Continue reading The Lifeguards by Amanda Eyre Ward
