The Kingmaker by Kennedy Ryan is $2.24 at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere! If you’ve been looking to try out Ryan’s steamy, angsty contemporaries, this isn’t a bad deal This is the first book in the series and I believe the first book has a bit of a cliffhanger.

This crop of covers just fills me with joy! Cover design by Rita Frangie Batour Sarah: The “Wearing a big giant dress on the cover” trend is very old and established but I LOVE the use of texture to resemble embroidery here Kiki: Harper’s always got the gowns!

Book Review
One Burning Heart by Elizabeth Kingston
One Burning Heart is the fourth, and I hope not the last, book in Elizabeth Kingston’s Welsh Blades series. I’ve loved this series since reading the first book nearly 10 years ago, so I was beyond excited when it was out. It is also the first book by Kingston since 2019 – and that’s “the before times” so it feels extra long! I reviewed Desire Lines that year. I one-clicked it and started reading this … Continue reading One Burning Heart by Elizabeth Kingston

More KDD Romances!
RECOMMENDED: When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare is $1.99! If you haven’t read a Dare book before or have missed out on this one, I highly suggest rectifying that problem. Elyse loved this book so much and gave it an A:
Everything about When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare worked for me. Everything. Bust out the squee mop, y’all because this review is just going to be a flappy-hands Good Book Noise® mess.
Things this book has:
1. A sexy Scot hero I pictured as Sam Heughan.
2. A heroine who is a naturalist and illustrator.
3. Tons of UST.
4. A completely crazy sauce plot that Dare pulls off flawlessly.
5. A missing lobster.

The Rec League: Older Couples
This Rec League was sent in by Mari. Thanks, Mari! I’m having difficulty finding romance reads for those of us ladies who enjoy romances featuring a mature storyline, with older heroines/heroes. Red Feather recently shared a lovely May-December themed novel this month, and it was enjoyable, but if both the heroine and hero were older, that would be an ideal read. I think publishers forget that romance isn’t only for the young. Life doesn’t end … Continue reading The Rec League: Older Couples
