Indecent Exposure by Tessa Bailey is $1.99! This is the second book in The Academy series and can be read on its own. I love Bailey’s writing and have enjoyed this series so far. Content warning for the hero’s backstory. If you want to be spoiled (just to be on the safe side), check out this review on Goodreads.
RECOMMENDED: The Bride by Julie Garwood is $1.99 at Amazon! This is one of my favorite historical romances and was one of my gateway reads to the genre, if you’ve listened to the What Made Us Romance Readers podcast episode. It has a 4.2-star rating on Goodreads!
Bonfire by Krysten Ritter is $3.99! Yes, that Krysten Ritter. This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. Be sure to check out the other book deals. There are romances, thrillers, and historical fiction. Some readers felt that this book didn’t really offer anything new in the way of women-centric thrillers, while the climax had people on the edge of their seats.
My Lady Quicksilver by Bec McMaster is $1.99! This is the third book in the London Steampunk series. I’m not sure if it can be read as a standalone, so maybe the Bitchery can help with that question. Readers loved the world McMaster created, but some found they didn’t enjoy the main couple as much as previous books. The first book is also on sale for $1.88!
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.
RECOMMENDED: The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley is $1.99! I loved this book and give it five stars on Goodreads. It’s easily one of my favorite historical romance and it recently showed up in the comments of our Rec League: Unassuming, Underestimated Heroes post. However, some readers didn’t feel any love necessarily between the hero and heroine. For those who have read this, what did you think?

Come the Spring by Julie Garwood is $1.99! I know Garwood is an auto-buy author for many, though I’ll personally admit I haven’t read any of her American historical romances. This one features a double dose of romance as it has two heroes working together and finding love along the way. However, this is the last book of a series and some felt it lacked the usual sweet, Garwood charm. Have you read it?
