RECOMMENDED: Never Cross a Highlander by Lisa Rayne is 99c! Shana reviewed this one and gave this a B:
Ultimately, Never Cross a Highlander gave me what I want from a summertime historical romance read: characters I was curious about, enough adventure to keep me guessing but not so much that I started stressing, solid sexual tension, and some new-to-me history facts without having to break open a nonfiction book.
Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young is $1.99! This is Young’s adult debut and is a fantastical and dark, small town mystery with a hint of romance. I thought for sure I had mentioned this one before, but nope!
RECOMMENDED: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell is $3.99! Carrie gave this one a B+:
It’s really good teen angst, and the fantasy aspect and the romance is perfection. It was so poignant, it really spoke to my soul, and I had good book sigh
The Dating Plan by Sara Desai is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance that came out a little over a year ago and has a fake relationship. I’ve loved how colorful all of Desai’s covers have been. Have you read this one?
By the Book by Jasmine Guillory is $3.99! This could be a leftover deal from the Kindle Daily Deals of yesterday, so apologies if this one goes rather quickly. This is a Beauty and the Beast inspired contemporary romance and we’ve had the cover on Cover Awe before.
RECOMMENDED: The Hollow of Fear by Sherry Thomas is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is the third book the Lady Sherlock series, which probably needs to be read in order. Sarah gave it a B+:
I will keep recommending this series, as it is so layered with opportunities to examine it. It can be read as a mystery, as a historical novel with found family, as an examination of sexism and societal limitations on women, and how those limitations are subverted in acceptable and unacceptable ways, or as a study of those outside the boundaries of high society and how they survive with disguises built of behavior.
Party of Two by Jasmine Guillory is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance and I think one of the few Guillory’s we haven’t featured on sale before. Grab this one if you’re looking to collect the entire Guillory collection.
Slightly Married by Mary Balogh is $1.99! This is the first book in the Bedwyn Saga, which is a favorite amongst romance readers. It also has a cover updated, which is…fine? I kind of miss the red and gold.
RECOMMENDED: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews is $2.49 or $2.99 depending on your retailer! Lara wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it an A:
I love a good yarn (in all senses of the word) and this book delivers a belter. This is an historical romance that feels fresh, vibrant and made me sing the Good Book Noise.
Luck Is No Lady by Amy Sandas is $1.99! This is the first book in the Fallen Ladies series and it came out earlier this year. I’m also loving the cover for this one. Many readers mentioned good book noises after finishing this romance, while others felt the romance between the hero and heroine wasn’t very convincing. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Sure Shot by Sarina Bowen is 99c! This is book four in the Brooklyn series, which I believe is a spin-off of the Brooklyn Bruisers series. Both, however, involve hockey and hockey players.
