Cotillion by Georgette Heyer is $2.51 at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere! It’s also part of a huge $2.99 Heyer sale in honor of her birthday! This has a fake relationship trope and was recently the inspiration for a Rec League on unassuming heroes. Readers who love beta heroes and low-key, relaxed romances might love this one. However, some readers mention that the first quarter of the book takes some effort to get through.
Accidentally on Purpose by Jill Shalvis is $1.99! This is the third book in the Heartbreaker Bayseries and can be read as standalone. Readers loved the chemistry between the main couple, but felt the pace of the romance dragged at times. Have you read this one?
Fast Track by Julie Garwood is $1.99! This romance is part of her romantic suspense/contemporary romance Buchanan-Renard series. I haven’t read any of Garwood’s contemporaries, but they do come highly recommended. Readers wanted more suspense from the story, but others enjoyed the friends-to-lovers element of the romance.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole is $2.99! Simply put, GET THIS BOOK. It’s our book club selection for April and Sarah completely loved it:
First, yes, you should absolutely read this book immediately, if you haven’t already. There is so much happening in the conflict within each of the protagonists, between the protagonists, and around them and their allies and enemies, I can’t possibly discuss all of it, but please know: if you are a reader (and why else would you be here, right?) this book is a marvelous, intelligent, respectful, breathtaking treat for your brain.
RECOMMENDED: Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis is $1.99! Sarah has recommended this book countless times:
I love the heroine, the hero, the setting, the snowboarding – this is one of those books where, if you ask me about it, my eyes roll back in my head and I make zombie-esque Good Book Noise®.
My Kind of Wonderful by Jill Shalvis is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched! It’s the second book in her Cedar Ridge contemporary romance series. Readers loved the chemistry between the hero and heroine, but some mentioned that they both came with a lot more baggage than they were expecting from a Shalvis romance. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt is $2.99! Those looking to continue their Maiden Lane series reading (this is the 10th book in the series and features a hero many have waiting for) should snag this sale! Elyse gave this book an A:
If you love a hero with an ulterior motive, a man who is capable of doing dark and monstrous things to achieve his version of justice, then you’re going to love Duke of Sin.
All I Want by Jill Shalvis is $1.99! This is the seventh book in the Animal Magnetism series and features a pilot heroine, who readers really seemed to love. There is a bit of suspense in the romance, but other readers felt it lacked tension. All I Want has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
Diablo Lake: Moonstruck by Lauren Dane is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched at Barnes & Noble and iBooks. Sarah was really excited for this romance, though gave it a B-:
Moonstruck is more like an uneven pilot episode or two in a series that has potential to be entirely, utterly kickass. If it were tv, I’d keep my series recording on for a few more episodes in hopes the potential pans out. There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I’m 2000% here for the sequels, because this is a world worth revisiting many, many times.
Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis is $3.99! This is currently nominated for a RITA® in the Long Contemporary category. It also received two favorable grades during our RITA® Reader Challenge:
This is a tough one. I really liked the book the first time… say, B+ or A- levels of liking it. This time I got really irritated with most of the characters: a C+ at best. I’m going to average the two grades and call it a B.
I pretty much loved the setting (despite not being an outdoors person at ALL) and the various supporting characters. I liked that what complications and low-level angst there was in the relationship between Lily and Aidan was handled without too much drama, even though both of them clearly had some lessons to learn about communication and not sending mixed signals.
Lily Danville grew up in Cedar Ridge, Colorado, and loved hiking the mountain trails or climbing the rock faces in the summer, or skiing the challenging slopes in the winter. She was happy there, until tragedy struck and she lost half her family over the course of a few weeks. She’s never forgiven herself and wasn’t ever planning on returning. Having lost her job in a fashionable salon in San Diego and pretty much been … Continue reading Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis
