Luck and Last Resorts by Sarah Grunder Ruiz is $1.99! This is book two in a series, but operates fine as a standalone. I’ve heard good things about Ruiz’s writing from friends who read romance. Based on their comments, I expect lots of emotions and pining.
Jana Goes Wild by Farah Heron is $4.99! This is Heron’s latest and was recommended on Hide Your Wallet. I remember Sarah being curious about the setting. Did any of you pick this up?
RECOMMENDED: Something Wild and Wonderful by Anita Kelly is $2.99! Carrie read this one and gave it an A-:
I adored Something Wild and Wonderful, a sweet romance between two men who meet while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). I thought it was a beautifully written, funny, warm, touching, empowering, and sexy grumpy-sunshine story.
RECOMMENDED: Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley is $1.99! Shana reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
Nobody’s Princess doesn’t take itself very seriously, so I was able to relax, and enjoy the fun. The love story competes with the Wynchesters’ delightful adventures, but I was having too good a time to mind. This is a whimsical delight that might work for readers who love lighthearted historicals about fighting injustice and found family.
RECOMMENDED: Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron is $1.99! Kiki reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
I cannot emphasize enough how hungry this book will make you.
Accidentally Engaged might be my top pick for “don’t read while hungry.” Between our heroine Reena’s bread baking (there’s rye, there’s challah, there’s an ongoing battle with a sourdough starter) and her Indian and East African cooking, I was craving a feast pretty much the whole time I was reading this book.

RECOMMENDED: The Chai Factor by Farah Heron is $1.99! Aarya really loved this one and gave it an A-:
The Chai Factor is very much a swoonworthy rom-com: it’s funny and sobering, it has witty dialogue and disquieting situations, and it’s sigh-worthy and rage-inducing. I laughed, I cried, and I cheered for Amira and Duncan. The Chai Factor is an essential book for your list of summer reads.
Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron is $2.99! I believe this is Farah’s most recent release and came out this spring. This one is inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, and Sarah recorded a podcast episode with Farah about the release.
RECOMMENDED: London Celebrities Collection by Lucy Parker is $2.99! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this one. This set collections 3 contemporary romances. Sarah loves this series and you can catch her reviews here:
