On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk is 99c! This is a contemporary romance (or perhaps chick lit?) and I believe was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. Elyse has read a few of Kelk’s books and really enjoyed them.

Tonight my friend, Jen, came over for dinner so I’m subjecting her to the show as well. She’s never seen it. Will she still be my friend after? Let’s see! Pudding is too busy to watch. There are baby bunnies outside and she has to glare daggers at them. We get through the fifteen second preview and Jen says, “I have to be honest, I hate these people already.” The first one-on-one date is with … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelorette–S19 E3: Cringe
I’m So Not Over You is a m/m contemporary romance about two men living in Boston who rekindle a relationship during a “fake dating’ weekend. I had a hard time connecting with the story, but Shana liked it a little bit better. Tropes include second chance romance, a wedding, fake dating, and ‘there’s only one bed’, and we know those are gold for a lot of readers! Unfortunately, it also has problems with the structure … Continue reading I’m So (Not) Over You by Kosoko Jackson
Incense and Sensibility by Sonali Dev is $1.99! Not sure if we’ve featured this one on sale before. It’s book three in Dev’s Rajes series, which is full of Jane Austen retellings.

Deception by Gaslight by Kate Belli is $1.99! This is a historical mystery that I mentioned on a previous Book Beat post. Definitely gives Batman in Gilded Age NYC vibes!

Or guiding sons through the hardships of overbearing mamas? Anthony is such a papa bear, er, I mean brother bear as Daphne tries to find a husband – do we know of any books not … Continue reading The Rec League: Papa Bears
Hey there! Welcome back, everyone! First one, thank you all for the gardening tips. So far, the cat grass is growing and just yesterday I noticed the tiniest little green beginning to emerge from my cilantro pot. To me, that’s a success. The heat wave has broke here and I hope the same for all of you. It was pretty brutal. I also had to take my darling cat Linus to the vet. The old, … Continue reading Links: Joni Mitchell, Romance News, & More
RECOMMENDED: Bold Fortune by M.M. Crane is $1.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale! Lara reviewed this one and gave it B+:
I’m delighted to have discovered this series, and so pleased to have traveled and spent time with a character who reminded me of, well, past me. While the conflict upon reflection was a little sparse, I am very much looking forward to book two.
