RECOMMENDED: Season for Surrender by Theresa Romain is $2.99 right now at most if not all vendors. This book was a Sizzling Book Club Pick, and Sarah loved it all kinds of ways. It takes place at a scandalous holiday house party, and features a hero who learns how to be a better person, and a heroine who isn’t taking any crap from anyone. As Sarah wrote when she announced this book as the club selection, “Y’all, they are in the library a great deal, and those are some of the best scenes in the book.” The book is also on sale to promote a Hero v. Hero romance tournament by Kensington, so feel free to vote when it opens February 9th!
Black Raven’s Lady by Kathleen Harrington is $1.99! This is the third and final book in the Highland Lairds Trilogy. The heroine boards a ship under “false pretenses” and at first, I was hoping these pretenses were that she was posing as a boy because I’m a sucker for that trope, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. While the book can be read as a standalone, many readers have said they enjoyed it more after reading the other two books in the trilogy. Is anyone else familiar with these books?

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is $2.99! This originally started as a Kindle Daily Deal and so far, Barnes & Noble as match the price. Let’s hope a few others will join the fight! I believe Carrie has read the book and loved it; her recommendation was why I bought the book months and months ago. There seemed to be a few readers who felt the author inserted herself too much into the nonfiction narrative, but many enjoyed how the medical science in the book was written in such a relatable way. It has a 4-star rating on GR.
