I picked up this title because it was recommended to me as a historical with a mystery and a slow-burn romance. I like all those words. I like them quite a bit. What I ended up with was a narrative that, the more I thought about it, didn’t make sense because the first half of the story didn’t match the second. Former soldier Adam Drummond is working for the British government undercover as a majordomo … Continue reading To Love a Duchess by Karen Ranney →

RECOMMENDED: A Talent for Trickery by Alissa Johnson is 99c! I did a mulled wine recipe for this book as part of Covers & Cocktails. Carrie also reviewed it, giving it an A grade:
I liked the action and the mystery and above all I loved that Lottie’s super power is that she’s super smart and super practical. This book was funny and touching and has stayed in my head since I finished it. Now I just have to figure out how to make time for all the author’s other books. Sleep is overrated, right?

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.

RECOMMENDED: Normal by Graeme Cameron is $3.99! Elyse mentioned this in a previous post on Women in Psychological Thrillers and said:
Normal by Graeme Cameron is delightfully weird fun. Told from the perspective of a serial killer who is keeping a woman captive in his basement, we see her through his eyes only. This sounds like it would 1000% squicky and DNW, but Cameron makes his unnamed protagonist, if not likable or emphatic, engaging enough that it’s easy to keep reading.

It’s a big month for new releases here at SBTB, and I know that I had to personally cut down on the list of books I wanted to talk about. It’s also a very front-heavy month, so plan those budgets accordingly. These are just a few of the books we’re excited about for February. What are yours? Which February titles are at the top of your to-buy list?

The heroine of this book is particularly funny and sharp, and takes very little crap from anyone. If you like hot, steamy, funny, and over the top paranormal shifters, you’ll like this series.
