Someone to Hold by Mary Balogh is $2.99! This is the second book in the Westcott series, which I know many of you love. Some found the book rather repetitive in some parts, though many praise Balogh’s romances for their depth and tenderness. What did you think of this one?
RECOMMENDED: Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone is $1.99 at Amazon! Content warning for this book. If you’re unsure if it’s for you, read Elyse and Sarah’s joint review (it earned a B+) and, as a bonus, check out Sarah’s podcast episode with the author. Not that I’m biased, but it’s one of my favorites.
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.
RECOMMENDED: Passenger by Alexandra Bracken is 99c This is a time travel, YA romance and Elyse loved it. She gave it an A grade, but warns of a big cliffhanger. However, the next book just came out!
I loved this book. I loved it so hard my teeth hurt. I could have used a little more historical detail in Cambodia and Damascus (Paris is kind of a pass-through), but so much action was happening there wasn’t a ton of time for it. Part of the reason this book is so unputdownable is that it never stops for the reader to catch her breath. Once Nick and Etta’s quest gets rolling, it’s a great big chase scene throughout history will no pauses.
RECOMMENDED: The Cold Between by Elizabeth Bonesteel is $1.99! This is a scifi mystery with romantic elements and Elyse celebrated her enjoyment of the book by posting lots of Galaxy Quest gifs. She gave the book a B+:
By the end of the book I was attached enough to the various supporting characters that make up the Galileo’s crew that I’m hoping if Bonesteel continues this series, she keeps them all in place.
If you want something a little different or enjoy lighter Sci-Fi with a suspense edge, then I’d recommend The Cold Between. If you need a guaranteed HEA with your romance, then you might want to tread cautiously.
