RECOMMENDED: While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory is $1.99! Elyse and Shana reviewed this one and gave it an A:
Shana: Overall, I loved this low-conflict celebrity romance with all the fun of dating in the public eye, and little of the stress.

Fake by Kylie Scott is 99c! Elyse read this one and gave it a B-:

Last Night with the Duke by Amelia Grey is $1.99! This is the first book in The Rakes of St. James series and the heroine is the chaperone to the hero’s sisters. Readers warn that the romance and plot is pretty slow to develop, while others recommend this book for a cute and funny romance.
