RECOMMENDED: The Lifeguards by Amanda Eyre Ward is $1.99! Elyse gave this one an A and warns not to be fooled by the cover:
The cover for The Lifeguards is more fitting for a romantic comedy than this twisty, suburban thriller. Reminiscent of Big Little Lies, I think this book is a perfect fit for readers who want suspense and thrills without gore or terror.
Lady Scandal by Laura Lee Guhrke is $2.99! This is book two in the Scandal at the Savoy historical romance series and it came out over the summer. There’s no obvious nobility, if that’s your catnip. Book one, Bookshop Cinderella, was on sale in September if you grabbed that one and are looking to stay current.
The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Holton is $1.99! This is book two in the Dangerous Damsels series, which I found to give me the same vibes as Shelly Laurenston. It’s just over the top, goofy fun!
RECOMMENDED: Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai is $1.99! Lara read this one and gave it an A- in a Lightning Review:
Because of my absolute abhorrence of a Big Misunderstanding plot, I nearly didn’t come back to this book, so if that turns you off, too, don’t make my mistake. You’ll be rewarded with a fun, emotionally nuanced, and surprising heist adventure – a very memorable one!
The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel is $2.99! Because this book was such a bestseller, I’m worried this could expire at any moment. I personally haven’t read it, but a fellow bookseller colleague listed this as their best book of 2020. Have you read it?
Bridgerton Collection: Volume 1 by Julia Quinn is $1.99! You get three full-length historical romances and these collections, when not on sale, are priced at $19.99. Not a bad deal!
The Deep End by Kristen Ashley is $1.99! This is the first book in the Honey series and features an alpha hero who happens to be a submissive in the bedroom. Hello! Some readers felt the writing was too “flowery” for a typical Kristen Ashley romance. If you’ve read this, tell me what you thought!
Always Remember by Mary Balogh is $2.99! This is book three in the Ravenswood historical romance series. Balogh’s romances are usually highly recommended and I feel on the gentler side.
RECOMMENDED: Bride by Ali Hazelwood is $1.99! I didn’t see this as a KDD yesterday, so I hope it sticks around for at least 24 hours. Carrie gave this one a B+:
I enjoyed Bride so much that I might put it on the keeper shelf. It’s the first book I’ve read by Ali Hazelwood, so I can’t tell you how it compares to her other work. But I can tell you that while Bride isn’t perfect, it’s a fun, though violent, paranormal romance between a mysterious brooding werewolf leader and a deeply sarcastic vampyre.
Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun is $1.99! I remember Aarya being excited for this one in Hide Your Wallet, but it seems like there was too much emphasis on pop culture and not enough on the actual relationship.
How You Get the Girl by Anita Kelly is $2.99! This is book three in the Nashville Love series and it was released in February! Many readers of the Bitchery have enjoyed Kelly’s queer contemporaries.
