It’s the end of March and I’m crossing my fingers the Northeast doesn’t get any surprise snow, because I am over it. But today is a gorgeous, sunny day with a little bit of a nip in the air. It’s the perfect weather to make a stiff drink at 11am and take some book photos. What? You mean you don’t do that on Thursday mornings? Just me? This month’s inspiration comes from Eva Leigh’s Counting … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: The Pleasure Garden
I am pretty certain that Leigh wrote this as RHG Bait, because she knew very well that I would be suffering just a liiiiiiiittle Poldark Withdrawl, so a Cornish heroine that is also the ringleader of a local smuggling ring is basically just what the doctor ordered. Kit is okay, too. We meet Kit, the hero, as he’s living a dissolute life. He’s a former soldier who was given an earldom, but an earldom without … Continue reading Counting on a Countess by Eva Leigh
Need You Now by Nicole Helm is 99c! This is the first book in the Mile High Romance series. It’s a contemporary romance with opposites attract elements. Readers seem divided on the hero. Some loved his grump nature, while others thought his grumpiness bordered on sad and rude.
RECOMMENDED: King’s Captive by Amber Bardan is $3.99! If you’re looking for a mindfuck of a romance novel, this comes highly recommended by Elyse. She gave this romance an A:
If you like darker romance or like me love a good psychological thriller, King’s Captive is so much your catnip. If you prefer your hero to be squeaky clean, then maybe steer clear.
From Duke Till Dawn by Eva Leigh is $1.99! This is the first book in The London Underground series and featured a heroine who previously had conned the hero. Many really liked the heroine and how smart and resourceful she was. However, others wished the hero and heroine had more dynamic interactions.
Borrowed Souls by Chelsea Mueller is $1.99! I have it on good authority that this sale will only last until Thursday, so get it while you can. I thought this urban fantasy was incredibly original, though it does suffer from your typical first-book-in-an-urban-fantasy growing pains. But I really loved the heroine!
RECOMMENDED: Destiny’s Surrender by Beverly Jenkins is $2.99! This is the second book in her Destiny series and follows Andrew, Logan’s brother. He has a particularly unique relationship with a courtesan named Billie, who shows up on his doorstep with a child she says is his – and with the intention of leaving her son there so he can have a better life and escape the danger that’s closely following Billie. This book has an impressive 4.2-star rating on GR.
Amanda had a great idea for a new feature: covers we really, really like. Presenting, Cover Awe! It can be very easy to identify what it is about a cover you don’t necessarily like. Nipples like dinner plates, greasy shoulders, weird muscle patterns, alarmed livestock in the distance – the list goes on and on (and on in the archives). But looking at a cover and recognizing that you like it can be a little … Continue reading Introducing Cover Awe!
RECOMMENDED: Temptations of a Wallflower by Eva Leigh is $1.99 at Amazon! Maybe there will be some price-matching later in the day! Elyse read this one and gave it an A-:
Temptations of a Wallflower is very very sexy (people talking openly about sex and finding what works for them together is sexy) and it’s also very smart. There were a few things I still wanted, though. Overall, I found the third book in the Wicked Quills of London series to be eminently readable and very hot, and I highly recommend it.
