Books on Sale: Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco & More

RECOMMENDED: Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco is $3.99! I enjoyed this one and it reminded me a lot of sexy, early 2000s paranormal romances (which may or may not be your thing). I gave it a B+:

Throne of the Fallen is a “yes, and…” sort of book that you just have to lean into, which I happily did. It’s extremely cliched and tropey, and I’d eat this nonsense for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Cover Awe: Lots of Pink!

UK cover - for her consideration by Amy Spalding. A brunette and a blonde woman on a red carpet. The blonde woman has short hair and is wearing a pink pantsuit. The blazer is slightly open and she has nothing on underneath. The brunette woman is curvier and is wearing a coral dress with birkenstocks and is walking off the carpet. Her phone is in her hand.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! Cover design by Diahann Sturge Carrie: Love the pink against the gray and how the two shades of pink and styles of dress tell us so much about the characters! Amanda: The gauzy curtains, fairy lights, and pink arrangements add some lovely softness. Sarah: Everything about this illustration is gorgeous. Pink on gray makes the figures stand out – it’s so lush. Cover illustration by Carolina Melis Amanda: This cover … Continue reading Cover Awe: Lots of Pink!

Books on Sale: The Marriage Contract by Katee Robert & More

RECOMMENDED: The Marriage Contract by Katee Robert is 99c! This is an arranged marriage plot in a modern setting and Elyse is addicted to this series. The book does deal with characters in the mob, which I know is a big off-button for some readers, so FYI. Elyse’s reviewed this one and she gave it an A:

If you had told me that I’d really love a book about the children of two Boston mob bosses being in an arranged marriage, I’d have raised a skeptical eyebrow. But I’m so so glad that The Marriage Contract proved me wrong because I enjoyed it immensely.

Book Review

The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding

The Summer of Jordi Perez (And the Best Burger in Los Angeles)

The Summer of Jodi Perez (And the Best Burger in Los Angeles) is a body-positive f/f contemporary romance/rom-com set in L.A. This book is a light, fast read with plenty of humor, and with an angst level that is appropriate but never too heavy or whiny. The story is narrated by Abby Ives, who is seventeen. Abby is gay, which is an issue for absolutely no one except her mother, who seems to hope Abby will … Continue reading The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding
