An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson is $2.99! This was released in February and we mentioned it on Hide Your Wallet. It’s a Sapphic, gothic romance with a dark academia setting.
RECOMMENDED: Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which feature a lot of Harlequin category romances. Elyse reviewed this one and gave it an A:
The story is really a cat-and-mouse game between Lila and Aaron (or whoever moved him), Lila and the police, and Lila and Aaron’s friends and family. It’s layers upon layers of deception, plots, counter-plots, and moments where I thought I figured out what was happening and was wrong.
That’s all I can really say without spoiling this wonderful, twisty thriller. Just trust me. You’ll love it.
Duke I’d Like to F… is 99c! This anthology was featured in last November’s Hide Your Wallet and has some wonderful authors included. Have you read this anthology yet? Do you have a favorite story?
Heiress Gone Wild by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99 at select vendors! I’m a huge fan of Guhrke’s earlier romances, though haven’t kept up with her newer ones. We’ve had several reviews of those, though, and they seem to be all over the place in terms of grade. Catherine gave this particular one a D, but as always, your mileage may vary.
Cover Awe is like the opposite of Cover Snark. Here, we talk about covers we like and why! Cover design by Bree Archer Model photography by Wander Aguiar Amanda: I hate holiday romances and I’m indifferent about heroes on the cover, but I actually really like this one. Maybe it’s because he’s wearing somewhat appropriate clothing and has a comfy looking blanket. Tara: I like the blue a lot. It’s kind of nice to see … Continue reading Cover Awe: Creepy Fruits & Women with Rabbits
RECOMMENDED: Any Old Diamonds by K.J. Charles is $3.99! New reviewer Claudia submitted this for a previous guest review and gave it an A-:
For being superbly written, evocative, intellectually stimulating, risky in the way it presents two flawed main characters, and, last but not least, sexy as all heck, this book gets an A minus from me.
Playing It Cool by Amy Andrews is 99c! This is the second book in the Sydney Smoke Rugby series and features a fake relationship! Some readers thought the chemistry between the hero and heroine was top-notch, but some felt the ending was a bit rushed. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Cover Awe is where we talk about some eye-catching covers we’ve seen recently! We hope you see something gorgeous in this group that makes you take a second look. Amanda: I’m hoping the hardcover has a raised design for a great 3D effect! RHG: Ooooooooh. Elyse: I have that preordered! Amanda: I also like that kaleidoscope feel. CarrieS: I would buy this book just to display that cover. Sarah: I did a podcast with the … Continue reading Cover Awe: Warmth, Strength, & Hair Pr0n
Homeward Bound by Emily Matchar is 99c! This is a nonfiction book that has some great discussions on feminism and domesticity. I also remember it making a big splash when it came out. Some readers didn’t find the book very enlightening, while others felt the book highlighted a lot of things about themselves they never realized.
The Soldier’s Scoundrel by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! This is a gay historical romance with class differences, which readers seemed to really love in terms of the pairing. However, other reader mention having some problems with the book’s pacing. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads. You can also grab The Lawrence Browne Affair for $1.99!
