I thought this book was lovely. It had real depth. There were characters who made me angry. Sometimes those characters were truly awful people and sometimes they were good people who made mistakes (hello, Luc, you mess). Sometimes the book made me sad. Mostly, it made me swoon and laugh in equal measure – a great stress read!
Apples Dipped in Gold by Scarlett St. Clair is $1.99! This is book two in the Fairy Tale Retellings series, though I can’t quite place which fairy tale it’s based on or just an amalgamation of a few.
RECOMMENDED: Diablo Lake: Moonstruck by Lauren Dane is $1.99! Sarah reviewed this one and thought it was a great start to the series. Here are some of her thoughts:
This paranormal small Southern town of shifters and witches and rival pack tensions between the Dooleys and Pembrys is immersively fun, sexy, and thoughtful. Bonus points: witches AND vivid, loving female friendships.
Just Some Stupid Love Story by Katelyn Doyle is $3.99! This is Scarlett Peckham’s penname for her contemporary romances. It came over during the summer. Did any of you read this one?

Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall is $1.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is the first book in a series of the same name. We mentioned this on on Cover Awe, as well.
10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall is $1.99! This is book one in the Material World series. It’s tangentially related to Hall’s other books Boyfriend Material and Husband Material, but works fine as a standalone.
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.
For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding is $3.99! I remember mentioning this one in my Book Depository post because the UK cover is so gorgeous and this one feels more nondescript. While we don’t have an official review, I remember Shana liking this one during Slack discussions.
