RECOMMENDED: Rebel by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! Claudia wrote a guest review for this one before coming onboard. She gave it a B+:
One of the greatest joys of reading this book was seeing Val reconnecting with her inner hellion, and starting to believe she too could experience a great love.
RECOMMENDED: The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken is $2.99! (Or free with KU!) This was my one pick for hilarious reading in our Ready Set Go. I also gave this an A-. Seriously, it’s so much fun:
The Blacksmith Queen is a bloody, feminist romp that exudes girl power in all forms, and I’m envious of its fantasy girl squad.

Back in the Burbs by Tracy Wolff and Avery Flynn is 99c! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. This seems to lean more toward chick lit rather than a full-on contemporary romance. Have you read this one?
Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood is 99c and a KDD! This is book one in the Phryne Fisher Mysteries series. Elyse previously reviewed it and gave the book a B. In summary, she said that while the book was tons of fun to read, there were some things the TV show just did better, namely the costumes.
Temporary by Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry is 99c! I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet because I’ve enjoyed both authors previously. I know many of you have too. Have you read this one? What did you think?
RECOMMENDED: The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and Sarah previously gave it B+:
If you’re curious about your own habit formation, what motivates you, and how to work with your own tendency, you should definitely take the quiz and check out the book. It would likely be an insightful read.
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.
The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie is $3.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is being price-matched at select vendors. Leckie’s Ancillary Justice is a favorite with Carrie and SBTB commenters. Readers loved the Hamlet-inspired plot, but warn that the book contains first and second POV, which takes some getting used to.
RECOMMENDED: Gunpowder Alchemy by Jeannie Lin is 99c! This is a steampunk romance set in China, which Carrie loved and graded an A-:
I had a great time with this book, I loved the setting and the characters, and I can’t wait for the sequel.
