I know summer doesn’t technically end until September 22, but for me, the few days after Labor Day are the finale. It’s still plenty warm, but Joann’s* has Halloween out the wazoo and down the hall, and Costco is already starting to get decorative if you know what I mean, and I think that you do. Alongside the 10 pound bags of Halloween candy (100 Grand or bust!) there’s…signs of sparkle. But while I think … Continue reading What was YOUR Book of the Summer?→
Accidentally in Love by Danielle Jackson is $1.99! What a fun cover! I believe this can work find as a standalone, but is technically book two in the Buxom Budoir series.
The combination of personal catnip with descriptive language and complex characterization is spot on. I recommend this for fans of vocal feminism, found family, angst, and explicit sex in their historicals. I plan to read my copy many, many times!
Welcome back to Hide Your Wallet! This is where we talk about the books releasing this week that are pretty buzzy or are on our radar. This time, I feel like there’s an even mix of subgenres across romance! What books are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!
Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday is $1.99! This is a holiday romance and the second book in the Christmas in Eldovia series. I remember Elyse reading it and commenting in Slack that she was enjoying it. I, sadly, don’t do holiday romances. What about you?
Holidays with the Wongs by Jackie Lau is $2.99! Apologies in advance if these deals are leftover from yesterday and expire. This set collects all four holiday novellas in the Holidays with the Wongs series, which have been favorably mention on the site
All the Feels by Olivia Dade is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance and the second book in the Spoiler Alert series. It was also just recommended by Shana in our recent Rec League on Book-Long Grovels.
Mermaid Inn by Jenny Holiday is $3.99! This is the start to her Matchmaker Bay, a small town beachy series. I’ve heard good things about this series, though I need to be in the right mood for a small town romance.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I found it to be feminist and sexy, loving and funny. It was the book I had no idea I needed and it comforted me right down to my toes. I absolutely recommend this as a holiday de-stressor and I am hoping that there is a more inclusive sequel for some of the supporting characters.
