RECOMMENDED: How Long ’til Black Future Month by N.K. Jemisin is $3.99! For some reason, the ebook isn’t on Barnes & Noble, or at least I couldn’t find it. Carrie gave this an A grade in a Lightning Review. You really can’t go wrong with Jemisin.
By Her Touch by Adriana Anders is $1.99! This is the second book in the Blank Canvas series. The first one, Under Her Skin, is FREE! A warning that these romances on the darker side and feature abusive backstories. I was halfway through Under Her Skin when I bought By Her Touch. If you like angsty characters trying to rebuild their lives, check out this series.
At the Billionaire’s Wedding is $2.99! This book features a handful of favorite authors: Maya Rodale, Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe, and Miranda Neville. Normally, these authors write amazing historical romances, but this a contemporary romance anthology with billionaires. My favorite story of the bunch was Linden’s “Will You Be My Wi-Fi?”
The Rogue by Katharine Ashe is 99c! This is a first book in a new historical romance series that seems to have a lot of catnip: a second chance romance, a scarred hero, and a marriage of convenience. Content warning: Some reviewers warn that there is rape and torture as part of the heroine’s backstory.
A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe is available for preorder for $2.99! This book releases September 25th, so soonish. Redheadedgirl already read it and mentioned this one in the most recent Whatcha Reading. Spoiler: she loved it.
RECOMMENDED: The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and there is a ton of nonfiction on sale. This is part memoir, part true crime and it’s a really gripping book. Both Elyse and I have read it and were captivated by it. But I cannot issue enough content warnings for this book.
RECOMMENDED: The Princess Bride by William Goldman is $2.99! We previously ran a Squee from the Keeper Shelf review of The Princess Bride. I’ve read the book and seen the movie, and both are enjoyable. I don’t know if I could choose which one I liked more. How would you compare the two?
RECOMMENDED: Rogue Desire is $2.99! The follow up anthology, Rogue Affair, is also on sale for only 99c! This is a romance anthology, which Redheadedgirl reviewed and gave it a B+:
It’s a wide variety of stories with one commonality: that even when the world seems like it might crash down, love is still there, and there’s a happily ever after out there. We just have to fight for it.
Scoundrels of Summer is 99c! This is a historical romance anthology from four well-known romance authors. And…one of the stories is inspired by Beyoncé lyrics. I believe both the Linden and Ashe stories have been available previously, so if you’ve read those, that makes only two new romances in the collection.
The Earl by Katharine Ashe is $1.99! This is the second book in the Devil’s Duke series. It has a false identity, a road trip, and an opposites attract romance. Some readers loved the antagonistic relationship between the hero and heroine, but others mentioned some issues with liking the heroine in general.
RECOMMENDED: The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston is $1.99! Yeah, you’re reading that right. If you were at RT, Sarah squeed about this so hard, so thanks to everyone who told us about this sale. And she did a little drive by squee during a review for the second book, The Undoing:
Feared Viking blacksmith (of sorts) in the Raven clan has a massive crush on a former Marine who is reborn as a Crow. (Bonus: Ravens giving him shit about his crush, and his ability to admit easily that he really likes her: ALL the thumbs, all of them up.)
