It’s time for part two of our Romantic Times Rewind visit to the May 2014 issue, where we take a tour of the ads and features inside! As I said two weeks ago, I wasn’t sure what having the images inside the podcast entry would do so I’m doing a separate post for each one. PICTURES AHOY Y’ALL. You can also find all the RTRW content at our category page for Romantic Times Rewind. And, … Continue reading Romantic Times Rewind: May 2014 Ads and Features →
I’m honestly not sure what having all the images from the episode in the podcast entry would do to the feeds it serves, so I’ll be doing a separate entry with all the visual aids and linking it. You can also find all the RTRW content at our category page for Romantic Times Rewind. And, most importantly, if you want to listen and follow along with this entry, we have more detail in the audio, … Continue reading Romantic Times Rewind: May 2014 Review Images →
RECOMMENDED: Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai is $1.99! Big thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale. This angsty contemporary romance has been recommended on several podcast episodes and received an A grade from Redheadedgirl:
This is the book that I was most excited to get at RT. When people saw that it was out in the wild, the most inhuman noises were made, and it was worth all of those noises.
ALL OF THEM.
So much angst. So much pathos. EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO MUCH.

Sustained by Emma Chase is 99c! The description of this book always makes me smile, and I’m tempted to liken this to a fairy tale romance. The hero swears up and down that he’s no Prince Charming, yet he still helps out the heroine and her gaggle of nieces and nephews. The book is well-reviewed on Goodreads with a 4.3-star rating. However, be warned, the book is told from the hero’s POV, which I know isn’t for everyone. Thanks to Reader Ashley for the heads up!

Barefoot Season by Susan Mallery is 99c! This is the first book in her Blackberry Island series.

The Sweet Dreams Boxed Set is available for preorder for $9.99. While this is more expensive than the books we typically feature as being on sale, the proceeds go to diabetes research. The set is curated by author Brenda Novak and features thirteen romantic suspense stories. If romantic suspense isn’t your thing, there is also a set of contemporary romances – Sweet Talk [bookmention slug=”sweet-talk-boxed-set”] – and erotica – Sweet Seduction [bookmention slug=”sweet-seduction-boxed-set”]. Last year’s boxed sets generated nearly $100,000 and it would be great if we could help do it again!
