Buck Wild by Lauren Landish is $1.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in the Bennett Boys Ranch series and is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. Check out the rest of the deals because there are romances by Lucy Parker, Samantha Chase, and more.
At the Billionaire’s Wedding is $2.99! This book features a handful of favorite authors: Maya Rodale, Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe, and Miranda Neville. Normally, these authors write amazing historical romances, but this a contemporary romance anthology with billionaires. My favorite story of the bunch was Linden’s “Will You Be My Wi-Fi?”
One Dance with a Duke by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. This is the first book in Dare’s Stud Club trilogy and features a horse breeder hero. Readers say this one is slow to start with, but recommend powering through! There is a marriage of convenience aspect that reviewers really enjoyed.
An Earl Like You by Caroline Linden is the second book in the Wagers of Sin series and features a plot where the hero is involved in deceiving the heroine in a significant way. I really struggled with this plot and with finding any empathy for the hero, and I spent a lot of the book cringing internally over the humiliation the heroine would ultimately face. This book gave me a lot of second-hand embarrassment. When … Continue reading An Earl Like You by Caroline Linden
RECOMMENDED: Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone is available for $1.99 at Amazon! This is still a preorder, but the book comes out tomorrow. Elyse and Sarah jointly review the book today and gave it a B+. They thought it was an empowering book, but felt the ending was a bit rushed. Please be warned that this book deals with all forms of abuse and abuse against a child.
Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is book five in the Maiden Lane series, which I know is a favorite in the Bitchery. I’m up to book three and I’m enjoying it so far. I think there’s some consensus that the books can operate as standalones, but it’s best to read them in order. Would you agree?
This trio of Lightning Reviews is coming to you hot and fresh, and the books below are all February 2018 releases. There are some disappointing heroes, literary fiction with romantic elements, and a married couple.
I really wanted to like My Once and Future Duke but despite a heroine I loved and a great depiction of female friendships, the hero ruined it for me. Sophie Campbell was orphaned at a young age and her aristocratic grandfather wanted nothing to do with her, so he paid only for her education until she was of age and then he cut her off. Sophie has (successfully) been working her way toward financial security by … Continue reading My Once and Future Duke by Caroline Linden
What a Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden is 99c! This is the first book in the Reece Family Trilogy. There’s a fake relationship element to this historical romance and readers loved the stuffy hero. However, some readers felt the plot is a bit unbelievable. It has a 3.7-star rating on Goodreads.
Update: Deal no longer valid.
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen by Victoria Alexander is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Readers were really into the plot, but mention that it takes a while to really get going. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Rogue Desire is $2.99! The follow up anthology, Rogue Affair, is also on sale for only 99c! This is a romance anthology, which Redheadedgirl reviewed and gave it a B+:
It’s a wide variety of stories with one commonality: that even when the world seems like it might crash down, love is still there, and there’s a happily ever after out there. We just have to fight for it.
