I’m so excited for today’s Cover Snark. The mullet has made a triumphant return, but did it ever really leave in the first place? Amanda: IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2019 WE HAVE A MULLET COVER Elyse: I’m assuming the title is a direct reference to his hair. Amanda: HA! Elyse: But that is not a good situation at all. Sarah: Definitely a description of the hairstyle. Carrie: Dirt is not sexy. Sarah: Maybe … Continue reading Cover Snark: Return of the Mullet →
From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata is $2.99 at Amazon! This romance was recommended in our recent Winter Olympics Rec League and Zapata is an auto-buy for many of you. This is a slow burn romance (like many of Zapata’s romances), but some found it too slow. Have you read this yet?

The Match of the Century by Cathy Maxwell is $2.99! The heroine is betrothed to the hero’s brother, so there’s an element of a forbidden relationship happening. Readers recommend Maxwell’s writing if you like your historical romances on the lighter side. However, many felt bad for the heroine’s groom, as he was a pretty standup guy.

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.

Fairest of Them All made me mad. So, so mad. Mad like: The thing was, the book was not what I was expecting and the hero was not the right guy, IMO.

One day Charlene learns that the Duke of Baynton is looking for a wife. The duke, Gavin, is very wealthy … Continue reading Fairest of Them All by Cathy Maxwell →
Blame It on Bath by Caroline Linden is $3.99! This is a historical romance with a bit of a marriage of convenience trope.

RECOMMENDED: Dark Skye by Kresley Cole is $1.99! This means we’re officially caught up on the cover redesigns. This is a paranormal romance and my favorite of the series. I waited ages for Thronos and Lanthe’s story and I wound up giving the book an A- grade:
The book was worth the wait. Truly. The themes of religion fit nicely into the character differences and I was really pulling for Lanthe and Thronos to make important compromises for the benefit of their relationship. I also thought it was a nice touch that Lanthe’s abilities grew more powerful and she became more confident in using them when she was around Thronos, a sign that being with the right person can make you stronger.
