Books on Sale: Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson & More

Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson is $2.99! This book released in January and I bought it in a huge YA book haul, though I haven’t gotten to read it yet. Readers love the mystery and the setting, but warn that the ending feels like a cliffhanger. Have you read it?

Books on Sale: Stormy Persuasion by Johanna Lindsey & More

Stormy Persuasion by Johanna Lindsey is $1.99 at Amazon! There’s no price-matching and I don’t think this is a Kindle Daily Deal. Readers loved the opposites attract element of this historical romance, while others found the plot to be a little all over the place.

Books on Sale: Magnate by Joanna Shupe & More

RECOMMENDEDMagnate by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This historical romance takes place in the Gilded Age of New York, which is a pretty cool setting. Redheadedgirl read this one and gave it a B:

TL;DR: NEEDS MORE GROVEL.

There really wasn’t a moment like that, and that was frustrating. That was VERY frustrating. So I have to knock this down to a B. All that said, the story made me care about the kind of people who I detest in real life, and I love the setting very much. The next book is Elizabeth’s brother’s book, and I kind of can’t wait to see what makes him turn into a good person.

Book Review

Make Me Love You by Johanna Lindsey

Make Me Love You

Back when I was a little baby Elyse, still too embarrassed to check out romances from the library lest the librarian judge me, I raided my aunt’s Johanna Lindsey stash. I had just finished reading everything Kathleen Woodiwiss had ever written (which wasn’t much) and was hungering for more. My aunt was an avid romance reader and had all of Lindsey’s paperbacks lining several shelves in her basement. It was a feast of bronze-chested Fabios, … Continue reading Make Me Love You by Johanna Lindsey

Books on Sale: The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber & More

The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber is $1.99! This book made a bunch of lists when it came out. It was a New Yorker Best Book, NPR Great Read, and made the New York Times 100 Notable Books list. Many loved how the main character as a man of faith despite it being a scifi novel. However, others found the scifi elements to be lacking. Have you read this one?

Books on Sale: After a Fashion by Jen Turano & More

After a Fashion by Jen Turano is $1.99! This is the first book in the A Class of Their Own series, and is set in New York in the late 19th century. The conflicts are bountiful, too: crossing class boundaries, and pretend engagement to satisfy business arrangements. Readers who liked it say that the dialogue and banter are terrific – and the book has a 4-star average, too! (And gosh, the cover is gorgeous.)

Books on Sale: One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean & More

One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean is $3.99! This is book two in her Rules of Scoundrels series with the first book also being on sale for $1.99. It also has a 4+ star average on GoodReads, and features a scientist heroine who is determined to learn about sexuality before her wedding night, and needs a rogue to help her with said research. The book does deal with cheating as the heroine is soon to be married to someone else, which I know some readers aren’t fond of in their books.

In a previous Books on Sale post, Sarah had this to say:

I wanted to love the heroine, and while I liked her, I struggled with this book for a few of the same reasons that the other 2-star reviewers did, but those who loved this book, loooved this book.

Books on Sale: Light My Fire by G.A. Aiken & More

RECOMMENDED: Light My Fire by G.A. Aiken is $1.99! This is the seventh book in Aiken’s Dragon Kin series, which is (obviously) about dragons. The heroine is sent to assassinate the Dragon Queen and is found out. The hero, part of the Queen’s guard, is tasked with transporting the heroine back home in hopes of negotiating a truce. Some readers found the book rather light on romance, though many loved seeing characters from previous books. We featured this book when it was on sale in August and many readers commented on how much they love the series and this book in particular!
