Sailor Proof by Annabeth Albert is $1.99! This is book one in the Shore Leave series and seems to have a lot of catnip. One of the heroes is in the military, there’s a fake relationship, and the best friend’s younger sibling trope.
Lady Notorious by Theresa Romain is $1.99! Sarah reviewed this one and gave it a B-:
If you read this book, and I would recommend it with some reservations, you’ll get to know two characters who are lovely together, who fit together intellectually and emotionally, who make each other happy, and change the way they see the world in ways that are constructed of all the finest dialogue and chest-tingly feels-infused moments
RITA READER RECOMMENDED: The Problem with Forever by Jennifer Armentrout is $2.99! This was nominated for a RITA last year and Reviewer Coco gave it an A-
I hadn’t read the book—as YA isn’t normally my happy place within the romance genre, despite the odd fact that I reviewed another YA RITA earlier this year—but I thought it’d be fun, and then life happened, and it didn’t go quite according to plan. Instead of a leisurely full seven days to read and write a simple review, I, of course, didn’t get the time to do it until two days ago. Luckily, reading it quickly wasn’t a problem as I was drawn into the story by the midpoint and raced to finish it.
For 100 Days by Lara Adrian is 99c! This is a contemporary erotic romance and the first in a trilogy, so there MAY be some cliffhanger action going on, but I didn’t see anything about that in any reviews. Readers also recommend this book for fans of alpha heroes, so if that isn’t you bag, you may want to reconsider!
RECOMMENDED: Wonder Woman Unbound by Tim Hanley is $3.82 at Amazon and $4.99 elsewhere. While not your typical discounted price, I thought this would be great to tie in for RHG’s Wonder Woman film review. Carrie really enjoyed this book and it earned an A+ grade:
Wonder Woman has persisted as a feminist icon whether she is taking over a Nazi U-boat, or getting excited about shopping and dating a new crush, or twirling around on our TV sets (I LOVED that show!). At her best and at her worst, she stands for justice and she always gets the bad guy. This book did a great job of tracing her history in an entertaining interesting way and I highly recommend it!
The Devil’s Doorbell is an erotic anthology made up of seven stories by authors that I’ve heard of and/or read. The stories are all contemporary but they aren’t really connected, save for the explanation of “the devil’s doorbell.” Each story has some reference to the fact that “the devil’s doorbell” is another term for a woman’s clitoris. Recently, I was going through a heavy reading slump and an anthology seemed exactly what I needed. I … Continue reading The Devil’s Doorbell by Anne Calhoun, et al
RECOMMENDED: The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden is $1.99 at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere. I really enjoyed this book, and this series, and if you like contemporary BDSM erotic romance with very thoughtful characters, you’ll probably like this. As Amanda quoted me when she posted this deal:
I’m really finicky when it comes to erotic romance, especially romance with BDSM, and I thought this story was an excellent blend of erotic tension and character development. Plus the hero is really fascinating. This is a terrific… read – I hope you’ll give it a try.
The cover is still really weirdly composed, though.
Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is bring price-matched elsewhere, so if you bought the first book, Bad Romeo, yesterday or last time it was on sale, you can grab the second one considering the first book has a cliffhanger. Readers found the first third of the book to be repetitive as it rehashed the same things over and over, while others thought the hero’s grovel was sufficient.
RECOMMENDED: The Principle of Desire by Delphine Dryden is $2.99! I’m not sure if this is the regular price of the book or a sale price, but the rest of the series is also $2.99 each. I will also warn that it’s more of a novella-length romance. Sarah reviewed this book and gave it a B, enjoying the smart characters doing sexy things:
The Principle of Desire combined a lot of things I love, like super-smart characters and terrific heroes growing in their own self confidence, nerd and geek culture, and visiting characters from prior books and finding themselves still awesome. I really liked this one, and I recommend all three.
We had such a great time with our first Literary Tattoos post, and we had such an outpouring of more fabulous ink that we decided to do another one! There’s even a SBTB group tattoo in the works, if we can manage to all agree on a design. Maybe these pieces from readers and authors will give us some inspiration. Susan has a trail of books on the top of her foot, courtesy of Sharonn … Continue reading Romance Readers’ Literary Tattoos, Part Two!
