RECOMMENDED: A Hope Divided by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! This is the second book in the Loyal League series. Redheadedgirl gave it an A grade:
Cole’s books are always timely, and yet timeless. She has a solid grounding of how to use history in her plots, and knows exactly what story she wants to tell. I could not put this down…
Radio Silence by Alyssa Cole is $1.99 at most vendors! Carrie reviewed this book in April of 2015. Redheadedgirl also said, “Based on a rec from Courtney Milan, this is set during an apocalyptic event with a we-all-need-to-work-together and try not to go nutty from the isolation plot – it’s tight, tense, and really good.”
RECOMMENDED: Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse is $4.99! This is part of the Kindle Daily Deal $4.99 Bestseller sale and, even though this one is more expensive than our usual sales, I firmly believe it’s worth it. I bought the book at full price and immediately preordered the second one upon finishing. You can find my review here!
Once Ghosted, Twice Shy is a contemporary, F/F romance novella. It’s part of the Reluctant Royals series but it works fine as a stand-alone. I loved this ramble through New York City and although the romance is a bit too rushed to be completely plausible, I’m certainly rooting for these two. The story begins with Likotsi Adele, the personal assistant to the prince of Thesolo. She is on vacation in New York City when she runs … Continue reading Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This is the first book in her Reluctant Royals series and this seems to be a series that just keeps getting better with its books. Many readers loved how Alyssa writes consent, agency, and all sorts of other awesome and empowering things. However, some warn that this book takes several chapters to get into the swing of things.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! Simply put, GET THIS BOOK. It was our book club selection for April and Sarah completely loved it:
First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a reader (and why else would you be here, right?) this book is a marvelous, intelligent, respectful, breathtaking treat for your brain.

The Etsy candle rabbit hole is one I have gone down many times. Instead of focusing on an author for September, we figured we would switch it … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Nerds in Love
I loved A Duke by Default so freaking much. This is the second book in Alyssa Cole’s Reluctant Royals series and it focuses on Portia, the best friend of the heroine of the first book, A Princess in Theory. A Duke by Default is fine as a stand alone although characters from the first book do show up. In the first book, Portia was introduced as a party girl who couldn’t stick to anything and who frequently … Continue reading A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole
