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?
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.
RECOMMENDED: A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan is $3.99! This is the first book in the Lady Trent series, which Carrie really loves. Readers say the book is pretty awesome in terms of concept, but they surprisingly wanted more dragons. Have you read this book or series?

A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is $2.99! This is a time travel mystery and with Armstrong’s mysteries, there’s usually a romantic subplot to go along with it. Can anyone who’s read this confirm? Amazon also says this is a limited time deal, so it could expire soon!

The Devil of Downtown by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! My main gripe with this series is that the three sisters have an awful, sexist dad. The books kind of overlap in terms of a timeline, so you get to experience the dad in all of his shittiness three times around.
RECOMMENDED: London Celebrities Collection by Lucy Parker is $2.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this one. This set collections 3 contemporary romances. Sarah loves this series and you can catch her reviews here:
