Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
The Counterfeit Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath is $1.99! This is book one in The Chessmen: Masters of Seduction historical romance series, which makes me laugh. I keep thinking of the chessmen butter cookies.
When I record with Nalini Singh, since she’s in New Zealand and I’m on the east coast of the US, it’s weird hours for both of us – so thank you to Nalini for speaking to me bright and early in the morning. We talk about Atonement Sky, about writing and worldbuilding, and saying goodbye to characters. I also mix up my animal pluralities but I fix it, don’t worry. NOT thanks to Wilbur, my … Continue reading 676. Exploring Atonement Sky with Nalini Singh
RECOMMENDED: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Lara wrote a Lightning Review for this on and gave it an A:
At a time when I didn’t have a lot of energy, I was gifted with pounds of joy, laughter, intrigue, and suspense. The Queer Principles of Kit Webb was a fresh approach to historical romance that made me fall in love with the genre again.
This is an average length book at 368 pages. But it flew past in the blink of an eye. If I were to make a reading recommendation, I would say block off half a day and forbid anyone from interrupting you, then dive into this book and just revel in it. This is a fake relationship book that has that most rare of things: the reason for the fake relationship actually makes sense. I did … Continue reading Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter
Is it Wednesday? Who knows anymore! I sure don’t. I’ve redownloaded Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey because mentally, I just want to be a buff lady, sneaking up on dudes, and giving them a violent dirt nap. Last time I played in on a console, but I’m trying PC out because I’d rather be cozy in my gaming chair with a beachy candle burning than downstairs on my couch where we don’t have a mini split installed. I’m … Continue reading Links: Cowboy Romance, K-Dramas, & More
The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Holton is $1.99! This is book two in the Dangerous Damsels series, which I found to give me the same vibes as Shelly Laurenston. It’s just over the top, goofy fun!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage is $2.99! This is book four, which is the latest installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. It released in April, so it’s a pretty new release.
This HaBO is from Nicola, who wants to find this series: I’ve been trying to find this book for about ten years since our library updated their internal system and cleared my access to loan history before 2016. There are for sure two books in this series, and I think only two. The first one has the heroine move next door to an Earl (possibly other nobleman). As part of the opening he wakes up … Continue reading HaBO: Pink and Gold Carriage
