Someone to Romance by Mary Balogh is $2.99! This is book seven in the Westcott series. I don’t think it’s necessary to read them in order, but I know the characters are interconnected and it might make for a more enriching experience. Do you have a favorite in the series?
The Summer Escape by Jill Shalvis is $1.99! I feel like Shalvis is one of the queens of small town romances. The cover is beautifully aspirational; I’m a sucker for mountains. This is book six in the Sunrise Cove series.
RECOMMENDED: Act Like It by Lucy Parker is $1.99! If you haven’t read this yet, it was one of Sarah’s favorite reads in the past couple years. She says, “I mean, I could squee at you some MORE beyond my review but I think you’ve heard me already. I loved this book. You should read it. It’s delightful.” This one is part of today’s pages of romance deals.
RECOMMENDED: The Mimicking of Known Success by Malka Older is $2.99! We mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet and Carrie reviewed it and gave it a B+:
The writing technique is excellent, the worldbuilding interesting and poetic, the characters enjoyable to spend time with, and there’s tea. It was interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable – two thumbs up.
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez is $3.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and I believe Jimenez’s latest release. Tropes for this one include forced proximity and some no strings attached elements.
For Never & Always by Helena Greer is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, as are all of today’s sales. Several of us were excited for this one when it came out!
RECOMMENDED: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker is $1.99! Catherine gave this one an A-:
I loved Battle Royal. While it did have minor flaws, it more than made up for them with humour, tenderness, and food porn.
Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan is $1.99! Shana gave this one a C+:
Nora Goes Off Script made me laugh out loud, and offered a soothing fantasy about discovering your humdrum life is someone else’s perfection. It felt more like women’s fiction than romance, and I found myself wishing for more flavor in the love story, and in Nora’s meatloaf.
My Fair Concubine by Jeannie Lin is $1.99! This is a historical “My Fair Lady” style romance – set in the Tang Dynasty in China. Readers loved the retelling and the depth of characterization. However, some readers mentioned that the story dragged at time due to the lack of external conflict.
RECOMMENDED: The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk is $1.99! Shana gave it an A-:
Readers who like cultural world building with a feminist lens, and don’t mind a quick romantic connection that takes most of the book to resolve, might like The Midnight Bargain.
