RECOMMENDED: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. I’m jealous of those who get to read this for the first time. We had a wonderful guest squee of this and it was my favorite read of 2018:
I truly loved this book. Loved. It made me feel like a champagne bubble – all fizzy and light. When I think of all the magical feelings romance gives its readers, I will forever think of this book.
RECOMMENDED: King’s Captive by Amber Bardan is $2.49! If you’re looking for a mindfuck of a romance novel, this comes highly recommended by Elyse. She gave this romance an A:

In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish is 99c! This is a gay romance that is a 2016 DABWAHA nominee. The book made it to round two, but was beaten by Elle Kennedy’s The Deal.
