Stripped by Zoey Castile is $2.99! This is the first book in the Happy Endings series. I read this one and gave it a B grade:
Stripped is an uncomplicated romance between two goofy, sexy people. It has a sweetness to it that’s reminiscent of a contemporary friends to lovers trope. If that hits all of your buttons, do read this!
The Lady Rogue is a charming, magical, and exhilarating adventure across 1930s Romania. If the premise seems reminiscent of Indiana Jones, there’s a good reason for it. With treasure-hunting galore and reckless protagonists getting themselves entangled with ancient magical artifacts, The Lady Rogue is a madcap romp like no other. I wasted away a sunny afternoon recently, swaying on a hammock in my backyard while Theodora Fox and her love ex-best friend Huck Gallagher chased … Continue reading The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett
Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett is $1.99! This is a YA romance with movie nerdery and an enemies to lovers romance. Some readers found the heroine to be prickly and pretentious. However, others said they couldn’t stop smiling while reading this one.

The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso is $1.99! This is the first book in the Swords and Fire series and a Kindle Daily Deal. Some people have shelved this as YA fantasy on Goodreads, while the second book in the series isn’t shelved as YA. I don’t know if it’s YA or not, sooo…if you’ve read this one, let me know! Last time I featured this one on sale, I immediately bought it, though haven’t gotten around to reading it.
Tapped by Liz Crowe is 99c! Man, this book is all of my catnip. This is an erotic contemporary romance with some menage elements. There’s also no cliffhanger as the third in the relationship is the hero of the next book. It definitely is high on the explicit sex scale, but some readers warn of insta-love.
There is always a boy that turns those summer plans upside down, isn’t there? I was already familiar with Bennett’s work from having read her Roaring Twenties series, which has a very skillful blend of historical and paranormal. Since I already had a well of affection for those books, I was interested in this, her first foray into YA. I was also apprehensive, since YA contemporaries tend to be either very hit (Anna and the French … Continue reading The Anatomical Shape of a Heart by Jenn Bennett
I didn’t plan on liking this book. Seriously. Despite a crazy schedule, I signed up to review five books for the RITA® Reader Challenge–and then I signed up to take an intense college course so I could finish my degree early. Yeah. I thought about dropping this book from my list as it seemed the least appealing to me, but I decided that I made a commitment and that I could manage. Of course, life has … Continue reading Bitter Spirits by Jenn Bennett
