Happy Wednesday, y’all! Also, happy Pride! As a bi/pan woman, giving support and hugs (if you want them) to all my fellow queer folk this month especially. It’s been a rough 2022 for LGBTQ+ people and I hope this Pride can be as restorative and healing as it can be celebratory. Please know that you are valued, loved, and treasured. It also wouldn’t be a Links post if I didn’t complain about the New England … Continue reading Links: Upcoming Romance, Darcy, & More →
The Nothing Girl by Jodi Taylor is 99c! This is book one in the Frogmorton Farm series and it’s giving me British chick lit with light magical elements vibes. Have any of you read this one?

The Hellion’s Waltz by Olivia Waite is $1.99! This is part of the Feminine Pursuits series. Carrie read this one and gave it a B-:
I never thought I’d say this, but The Hellion’s Waltz is just too darn nice. This historical f/f romance is beautifully written and full of kind, courageous, intelligent characters. It is also boring.

This HaBO comes from M, who is looking for this older title: I probably read this in the early 90s. The main characters have known each other since childhood. The heroine’s widowed (I think) mother became the tutor for the young master of the house ( I think his name was Miles). Heroine was allowed to study alongside him. Miles tormented the heroine by doing things like dipping braids in ink etc. There is a … Continue reading HaBO: There’s Treasure in Them Gargoyle Pins →
I wanted to review Deep Water in part because I wanted to warn readers about some of the content. This book contains references to human trafficking, a sexual assault on the page, and a dog in jeopardy. So I know based on Hollywood movies (The Island), other novels (like The Reckless Girls) and at least two Datelines that if you say goodbye to your 9-5 and find yourself sailing to a remote tropical paradise inhabited … Continue reading Deep Water by Emma Bamford →
RECOMMENDED: Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik is $2.99! This is a sci-fi romance and I absolutely loved it. Be warned that it does have a bit of a pushy alpha hero. You can read my A- here:
I am so incredibly happy that this book is in the world, especially after feeling like I’ve exhausted all my sci-fi romance options. Polaris Rising is exciting. It’s funny. It’s fan-fucking-tastic. My quibbles are minor in comparison to the joyful Good Book Noises I made while reading this.

The Maid by Nita Prose is $3.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet! I’ve seen some comments and criticisms about the heroine being possibly neurodivergent and that on-page portrayal. Have you read this one?

RECOMMENDED: The Lion’s Den by Katherine St. John is $4.99! Elyse wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A. Definitely check out her review for a list of triggers to be aware of.
This book is really two mysteries in one, and when they collide it’s a wonderful “ah-ha” moment. I wish I could say more than that, but I don’t want to ruin a single thing for another reader.
