Deadly Strain by Julie Rowe is $1.99! This book was recommended on two podcasts: one with Sassy Outwater and one with Reader Meka. It’s romantic suspense with a bioterrorism angle and while readers loved the non-stop action, some wished there was more focus on the romance. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
The English Wife by Lauren Willig is $2.99! This is historical fiction with a mystery element, and I love this cover. Some readers found the plot a bit hard to follow. However, others love the dialogue and layers to story. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen is $1.99! This is a sports contemporary romance and part of the Brooklyn Bruisers series. Elyse read this one and gave it an A grade:
So for a non-sports romance type of girl, I was totally swept up by Hard Hitter. I’m adding Sarina Bowen to my auto-buy list. This was the mature, sexy, intelligent contemporary romance I so wanted and a great way to start the new year.
RECOMMENDED: Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn is $1.99! This is the first book in the Heroine Complex series and it’s one that Carrie loves. She reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
You usually can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but honestly you can totally judge this book by its cover, which features two Asian heroines with obviously different personalities, a demonic cupcake (can’t get enough of those) and bright colors. If that cover causes grabby hand syndrome, then yes, you will adore the book.
The Devil’s Revolver by V.S. McGrath is $1.99! I added this book to my TBR pile after seeing author KJ Charles recommend it on Twitter. I’m also in love with the cover. Charles also wrote a review on Goodreads and mentioned that the book does deal with themes of racism and colonialism, if you’re worried about a whitewashed Western setting.
Duke of Desire by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. Yay! Do check out the other deals for today; there’s some nonfiction and more romance. This is the twelfth and I believe final book in the much-loved Maiden Lane series. If you’ve read it, what’d you think? A fitting end or a disappointing one?
Radio Silence by Alyssa Cole is $1.74 at most vendors! Carrie reviewed this book last April. Redheadedgirl also said, “Based on a rec from Courtney Milan, this is set during an apocalyptic event with a we-all-need-to-work-together and try not to go nutty from the isolation plot – it’s tight, tense, and really good.”
