Spoiler Alert is tropey wish fulfillment, but at its heart, it is a quiet contemporary with a #couplegoals relationship where both characters offer comfort, create beautiful art, and help each other overcome insecurities. Spoiler Alert is also a love letter to fandoms, that will make you want to chase your romance novel with a shot of fanfiction.
Once Persuaded, Twice Shy by Melodie Edwards is $1.99! This is a contemporary Persuasion retelling. Aarya mentioned this release in a previous Hide Your Wallet. She read Edwards’s debut, which was a Jane Eyre retelling, and said it reminded her of a 90s category romance, in a good way!
Tara: There’s nothing I didn’t love about this story. Truly everything worked for me, from the characters to the writing style to the themes, even when they’re difficult. This is going straight to my to-reread pile, because I can see myself reading this every December.
A Duke Worth Fighting For by Christina Britton is $1.99! This is book three in the Isle of Synne series, which is the last one. We’ve featured the other two books on sale, so if you’re looking to collect all three, this is your chance!
What a big and beefy release day! And it’s only going to get worse as next week looks even more packed with books we’re anticipating. There are a couple short story collections, plus non-fiction and contemporary romances. Which books are you excited for this week? Are there any preorders you’re just waiting to arrive on your doorstep or on your ereader?
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna $1.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this one! Fingers crossed it’s still ons ale.
Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee is $1.99! This is book three in the A Sweet Mess series, though I think all work fine as a standalone. This one has a friends to lovers romance.
Any Rogue Will Do by Bethany Bennett is $1.99! This is book one in the Misfits of Mayfair series and features a fake relationship. Book two was recently featured in an edition of Cover Awe. I’m actually pretty curious about this series, if anyone has read it and would like to share their thoughts.
Someday My Duke Will Come by Christina Britton is $1.99 at select vendors! This the second book in the Isle of Synne series and we’ve featured the first book on sale previously and the third book is currently discounted. This historical romance features a fake engagement, which can be some major catnip.
Yours Cruelly, Elvira by Cassandra Peterson is $3.99! This is a memoir by none other than Elvia, Mistress of the Dark. Hello! I will warn that Elvira discusses her miscarriages and sexual assault in her memoir, if those are sensitive topics for some of you.
A Good Duke is Hard to Find by Christina Britton is $1.99! This is the first book in the Isle of Synne series and I’m sure it’s pronounced “sin” but my mind went to “sine” and I, for one, will avoid an island of calculus. No thank you!
