RECOMMENDED: Whiteout by Adriana Anders is $1.99! Elyse gave this one an A-:
I love romantic suspense with survival elements (especially cold weather survival) and I also really enjoyed the espionage/global threat aspect of the mystery. I wish I’d read the prequel novella first, but it wasn’t a huge issue, and I’m delighted to have a new series to look forward to.
Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler is $2.99! This is one of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is an opposites attract holiday rom-com. I feel like I also need to mention that at one point, the heroine accidentally shoots the hero with a moose tranquilizing dart.
Kiss My Cupcake by Helena Hunting is $2.99! This is a standalone contemporary romance with two rival small business owners. I’d say it definitely has an opposites attract element. Have you read this one?
The Earl Takes a Fancy by Lorraine Heath is $1.99! I know a lot of us perk up when bookstores and book-loving characters appear in romance, though this didn’t deliver as well as Carrie had hoped. She gave it a C-.
RECOMMENDED: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which also feature some great romance and historical fiction. AJ and I did a lot of squeeing about this one on a podcast episode. Will you understand what’s going on? Probably not, but you’ll have a lot of fun being clueless. I also gave it a B+:
Gideon the Ninth is a unique and bloody bananapants book, and I do think it’s worth a reader’s curiosity. Gideon is an unforgettable protagonist.
Fury Rising by Yasmine Galenorn is 99c! This urban fantasy is the first book in Fury Unbound series and has some obvious Greek mythology elements. Readers really loved the premise for those one, but felt it faltered. Have you read this one?
For the Sake of a Scottish Rake by Anna Bradley is $1.99! This is a historical romance that released in February. It also seems full of catnip with a friends to lovers fake relationship. It sounds really fun, but I know myself and friends to lovers isn’t my bag.
RECOMMENDED: Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean is $1.99 for today only according to her Twitter! I didn’t see it on today’s KDD page, but there are also a LOT OF ROMANCES (Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, etc). Carrie gave this one an A:
Well, that was just delightful. I loved every single minute of Brazen and the Beast, even the melodramatic bits.
RECOMMENDED: Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep is $1.99! Elyse read this one and gave it a B+:
Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep is the first book in a fantasy series that features a badass female gladiator on a quest to reclaim the throne from her murderous cousin. It’s tremendous fun, although it wraps up quickly.
Meet Cute by Helena Hunting is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, which also features some more romances on sale. I made a yummy, boozy chocolate peanut butter milkshake for this release. Readers found this to be a little too cutesy, while others recommend this one for a bubbly and sweet romance.
Bitchery, I’m turning thirty next week and I definitely need a cocktail. Not just any cocktail, but something celebratory, with whipped cream and everything. Buckle up everyone because we’re making a boozy, chocolatey milkshake! Meet Cute by Helena Hunting is the inspiration for this alcoholic milkshake. The cover is adorable with bright colors and—well, look at that—a milkshake. And yes, the characters do partake in the book. Drinking a milkshake is fun. I’ve never had … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Fangirl
