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.
Happily Never After by Lynn Painter is $2.99! This was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet and features two characters who get hired to shout “I object” at weddings. Did any of you pick this up?
I enjoyed this story a lot. It contains many of the elements that feel like a traditional Western to me – scenes of blizzards and horse-breaking, confrontations in the local saloon, slick shysters from out East come to take advantage of the locals – but the central characters buck the stereotypes in numerous ways.
Some Like It Scandalous by Maya Rodale is $1.99! This is the second book in Rodale’s historical romance series set in Gilded Age New York. Aarya gave this one a C-, but notes your mileage may vary depending on how you feel about certain tropes.
To Catch a Raven by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! This was mentioned in a previous Hide Your Wallet and I believe is the latest book in the Women Who Dare series. Do you have a favorite book in the series?
