Bombshells by Sarina Bowen is 99c! This is book five in the Brooklyn Hockey series. For the most part, I feel like the Bitchery has positive feelings about the series. What did you think of this one compared to the rest?
This HaBO is from Amy, who is trying to find this romance: I’ve been looking for this books for ages now. I’ve read it years ago and can remember the majority for the storyline but neither the title or author. It’s romance/erotica with a culinary/chef heroine.

Wash Day Diaries is as much about the relationship between the beauty rituals of these women and … Continue reading Wash Day Diaries by Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith
The Bad Luck Bride by Janna MacGregor is 99c! Sarah had the author on as part of a previous live podcast taping at RT and I found it fascinating. Some readers expressed confusion in how the overall plot unfolded, but others really loved the heroine and her cursed luck.

Claudia: Hm, that does bring to mind the details of … Continue reading Cover Snark: Everyone Has Headaches
Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron is $2.99! I believe this is Farah’s most recent release and came out this spring. This one is inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, and Sarah recorded a podcast episode with Farah about the release.
Welcome back to Get Rec’d! I’ve been working upstairs in our children’s section at the bookstore lately, so my recs skew a bit more toward kiddos. Not a bad thing! I’ve also included a personal recommendation I gave to my mom the other day. What about you? Have you given or gotten any good recommendations?
RECOMMENDED: Alpha Night by Nalini Singh is $1.99! This is book four in the Psy-Changeling Trinity series. Lara wrote a Lightning Review and gave it a B+:
Are super dramatic connections between mates your catnip? This is your book! Want to solve a mystery? Again, pick up this book! Are you okay with mild to moderate violence? Good, because this book has that too.
