But, there has to be an heir in … Continue reading HaBO: She Fakes an Heir From Her Late Husband →
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is $4.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. This is Bardugo’s first adult fantasy novel and I want to warn of some graphic depictions of violence and body horror. The first chapter or so should give you a good picture on whether it’s for you.

This HaBO is from Beth, who wants to find an older medieval romance title: There is a book that I read probably 20 years ago, somewhere around 2000. It was one of many high school-aged me read. . . probably shoved under the bed so my mom wouldn’t find it. For some reason, this one sticks in my memory and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I don’t remember … Continue reading HaBO: In Search of a Medieval Romance →

Ben Stephens designed the campaign and will be working closely with Anna during filming. Ben is a self-admitted playboy who is open that he’s only looking for fun, nothing serious. Anna is focused intensely on the next phase of her … Continue reading While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory →
RECOMMENDED: The Governess Game by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is the second book in the Girl Meets Duke series. Elyse gave this one a perfect grade, an A:
It’s one of the best, if not the best, book I’ve read this year and it was worth all the hours I spent reading that should have been spent sleeping.

RECOMMENDED: Whiteout by Adriana Anders is $1.99! Elyse gave this one an A-:
I love romantic suspense with survival elements (especially cold weather survival) and I also really enjoyed the espionage/global threat aspect of the mystery. I wish I’d read the prequel novella first, but it wasn’t a huge issue, and I’m delighted to have a new series to look forward to.

The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and … Continue reading Kickass Women In History: Louise Little, Alberta Williams King, Berdis Jones →
