The Kraken’s Sacrifice by Katee Robert is $2.49! This is book two in the Deal with a Demon series. This is under 200 pages and feels like a rare miss from Robert, based on the Goodreads review average.
RECOMMENDED: The Duke Who Didn’t by Courtney Milan is 99c! Catherine gave this a squee grade:
The Duke Who Didn’t was always going to be a book that made me happy. Humour, food, and a gentle hero who just wants the heroine to be less stressed are a pretty good formula for getting onto my keeper shelf.
Strange Beasts by Susan J. Morris is $1.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale and fingers crossed it sticks around. Elyse recently gave this an A:
This is a paranormal adventure meets gothic mystery with a sapphic love story intertwined in all of that. It has shades of Penny Dreadful, non stop action, and it’s just a blast to read.
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.
RECOMMENDED: The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw is $2.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale! Carrie gave this one a Squee grade:
Dear readers, I would be remiss if I did not point out that Cassandra Khaw’s book The Salt Grows Heavy is about what happens when a horror story version of a mermaid teams up with a version of Frankenstein’s monster to burn it all down. It is, in its own blood-soaked, rage-fueled way, a romance. There may not be many of us for whom this is our jam, but if it IS your jam, buckle up.
You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria is $1.99! We mentioned this in previous Hide Your Wallet posts and it was recommended on a couple podcasts. We were all very excited for it and look at that dang cover! Apologies if this is a deal leftover from the weekend.
RECOMMENDED: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett is $2.99! Lara wrote a Lightning Review of this one and gave it an A:
This book is CHARMING. C.H.A.R.M.I.N.G. I devoured it in just over a day and what a beautiful day it was.
The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance where a woman inadvertently goes on a road trip with her ex to a mutual friend’s wedding. For the most part, O’Leary’s books are well reviewed or at least spark some conversation.
RECOMMENDED: The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Sarah read this one and gave it a B:
I liked the painstaking and careful character development of the first half more than the zoomy-zoom plot of the second half, but the foundation of historical fiction and incredible detail coupled with folk magic, ghosts, and negotiating with spirits made this an exceptionally fun, absorbing, and thoughtful story.
One Night in Hartswood by Emma Denny is 99c! This was mentioned on a previous podcast with Freya Marske and Dahlia picked its rerelease for one of her monthly Queer Romance Roundups.
Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey is $1.99! This is book one in the Big Shots series and features a golfer, which we don’t often see in sports romance. I think I remember Elyse reading and liking this one (Elyse, please correct me if I’m wrong!). Apologies if this is an expiring KDD.
