One Fine Duke by Lenora Bell is $1.99! This is part of the School for Dukes series and I think we featured in on Cover Awe for the lovely dreamy quality of the cover. Though of course, if you have allergies, you may disagree. Readers enjoyed the adventure elements, but at times felt they overshadowed the romance.
The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This book is much loved by historical romance readers, and has a 3.9-star average on GoodReads. Readers who love it especially like that the hero and heroine are both a bit unconventional: neither of them is superbly good-looking, a fact that has influenced their lives in several ways, and both are over thirty
NB: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt is the start to a new historical romance and we know many of you are curious about this one!

RECOMMENDED: Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! I listened to this on audio after Elyse’s great review and loved it. I’ve since listened to the next two Maiden Lane books on audio as well. Elyse really enjoyed this book and gave it an A-:
Serial killer. And Ghost of St. Giles vigilante. And river pirate. And bondage.
If any or all of those things appeal to you, I’d really recommend this book. If you’re looking for a spicy historical, or one not focused around the glittering aristocracy, Wicked Intentions fits the bill. Aside from a few ball scenes, this book takes place among the working class of London.

RECOMMENDED: Vicious by V.E. Schwab is $2.99! Though I have not read this, several of my friends (four to be exact, two of whom have rated it five starts on Goodreads) have and absolutely loved it. With rivalries, super powers, and experiments gone wrong, Vicious has been compared to being a literary comic book. It’s part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which also include a couple romances.
The Changeling by Victor LaValle is $1.99! This is a fantasy horror novel that has been recommended to me several times. Content warning, though, as it does deal with portrayals of mental illness and children in peril. Have you read this one? I think I might see if my local bookstore has this in stock!
Hey there! It’s about that time for Wednesday Links! The Northeast was hit with a snowstorm yesterday and come on, it’s fucking March and I’m sick of it. I mean, I hate the summer, but this late snow is getting ridiculous. … The Bechdel test is a test given to books, tv, and movies (plus any other form of media) that gauges the portrayal of women.
