It’s Wednesday! And it’s June! When did that happen? I’m back from my trip to New York for Book Expo America and BookCon, and my body is not having it.

RECOMMENDED: The Devil’s Submission by Nicola Davidson is 99c! This is an erotic historical romance, though it is more of a novella length. Elyse really loved this book and gave it an A:
The reason I loved The Devil’s Submission so much was that it depicts two adults finding comfort and joy together in a shared kink. It’s about a healthy exploration of sexuality and acceptance of the results of that exploration. Sex positivity for the win!
I liked the action and the mystery and above all I loved that Lottie’s super power is that she’s super smart and super practical. This book was funny and touching and has stayed in my head since I finished it. Now I just have to figure out how to make time for all the author’s other books. Sleep is overrated, right?

RECOMMENDED: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is 62c at Amazon and 99c at Barnes & Noble! The second book is also on sale and we have a chapter one reveal of the third and final book! I gave the book an A:
I can say, without a doubt, that A Promise of Fire is going on my keeper shelf. I want more of these characters and I want more of this world. I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savor and devour a book, and Bouchet’s writing is so engaging and magical that I wish she had some sort of backlist I could dive into for the next few months. If you’re even slightly tempted by this review or from the chapter one excerpt, buy this book. Because I need more people to discuss it with, pronto!

Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders is 99c! Readers warn that this is a contemporary romance on the darker side, but many say this is a great debut by Anders. I actually bought this when it was last on sale and was thrilled to see it out in the wild at my local independent bookstore. If you missed out on the sale last time, you’re in luck!

RECOMMENDED: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant is 99c! This book is often recommended in terms a sex-positive heroine and was mentioned on a previous podcast where Sarah and I discussed Tinder. However, other readers found the heroine’s view of sex to be rather unromantic. Have you read this one?
