This HaBO comes from Charlotte, who wants to give this historical romance a re-read: I read a book when I was way too young to be reading such books that featured a heroine I truly do not remember much about. It was a historical setting, maybe Regency? The heroine starts the story as a servant or maid and through circumstances ends up in the orbit of the male lead. I believe he was an aristocrat … Continue reading HaBO: Historical Hero Uses a Wheelchair
RECOMMENDED: In for a Penny by Rose Lerner is $1.99! We had a guest review for this one, where it earned a B+:
I was reading In for a Penny one evening and my husband asked me if I was coming to bed anytime soon. I made incoherent too-invested-in-my-book-for-sleep noises, and he looked at me knowingly.
This HaBO is from Rachel, who is looking for this contemporary sounding romance: I’ve been googling and searching SBTB trying to find a novel I remember reading last year or the year before. It was the first in a series. Though the others hadn’t come out yet at the time I read it. The protagonist had recently lost both her adopted parents in a car crash and, out of the blue, her birth mother– a … Continue reading HaBO: Secret Illegal Billionaire Council
I’ve been salivating over A Cowboy to Remember for months. The actual story was quieter than I expected, but it also had feminist cowboys in Southern California, so I can’t be mad. As a regular fan of Weatherspoon, the tone of A Cowboy to Remember felt flatter than the cheeky dialogue of her recent books (Rafe, Xeni). I wanted more angst and laughs, but the book left me with the warm glow of having just … Continue reading A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon
I’ve Got My Duke to Keep Me Warm by Kelly Bowen is $1.99! This is the first book in the Lords of Worth series and it was mentioned in a guest post on “feminist favorites.” I thought we had mentioned it in something else as well, but I couldn’t locate anything.
Listen, you’re a smart crowd. You can all figure out the prominent theme of this Cover Snark. From Emily: Goodreads suggested this title to me and my first thought was “SBTB would love this!” Sarah: I LOVE THIS. Shana: This cannot be real. What? Lara: The body part(s?) in the top right hand corner are… ? Maya: I can’t stop seeing a raw chicken or turkey in the background and Dolph Lundgren in the foreground. … Continue reading Cover Snark: Nip City
Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen is 99c at Amazon right now, though is $4.99 elsewhere. This is the fourth book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series and the first book in the spin-off Brooklyn series. Though this could be reads as a standalone, readers say there’s a lot of build up to this romance in the previous books. It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.

We’re slowly approaching the end of February and it’s a Leap Year! That means one more day to enjoy some (hopefully) good books. Sneezy: The Likability Trap by Alice Menendez, and City Kitty and Country Mouse by Alyssa Linn Palmer! The Likability Trap has been “I see myself in this picture, and I don’t like it,” from literally the first sentence. City Kitty and Country Mouse is cute as FUCK, and already layering feels, and … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2020 Edition, Part Two
