RECOMMENDED: The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and as of right now, it’s only being price-matched by iBooks. Elyse loved this book and gave it an A:
The Fifth Season is also a relatively quick read. It opens with a cataclysmic disaster and doesn’t slow down its pace. Its characters travel widely. My only word of warning is that the book ends on a massive cliffhanger. Fortunately the sequel, The Obelisk Gate, will be released in August. After finishing this book I’m making desperate grabby hands for the next one.
If you like immersive, action-driven fantasy and if you want a fantasy world that’s not Euro-centric–or if you just love a really, really good story–I cannot recommend The Fifth Season enough.

The Rogue by Katharine Ashe is available for preorder for $1.99! This is a first book in a new historical romance series that comes out in February. This seems to have a lot of catnip: a second chance romance, a scarred hero, and a marriage of convenience. Any takers? There are also several other Ashe titles also on sale!

Update: As of 2:10pm EST, The Lady Hellion isn’t reflecting the sale price, but the other two books are still available for less than $3 each.
RECOMMENDED: The Lady Hellion by Joanna Shupe is $1.99 at Amazon! Hopefully, we have some price matching later in the day. The first two books in the series are also $1.99 at Amazon, and Redheadedgirl loved them as well! RHG reviewed the book earlier this year and gave it an A-:
The heroine in The Lady Hellion is Lady Sophia Barnes, the daughter of a Marquess… and sometimes known as Sir Stephen Radcliffe, a young pup of a dude who shows up at gaming hells and brothels while investigating missing women. (YES IT IS A CROSS-DRESSING TROPE YAY). She’s known Quint forever, and held a torch for him for at least that long. He’s also held a torch for her, so we also have two idiots who can’t use their fucking words.
I love a good “Can’t use their fucking words” story in the hands of a good writer.

A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James is $1.99! This is the first book in the Fairy Tale series, and it has a 3.8-star average. Much Ado About You is also on sale for $3.99, plus some of James’s novellas and short stories are $2.99 or less!
This book was nominated for a RITA in 2011, and our RITA Reader Challenge reviewer, Jayne, gave it an A-, saying, “I thought this was wonderful. If you’re looking for historical accuracy and nail-biting tension, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for froth, sparkles, castles, ballgowns, elaborate wigs, and glass slippers (oh, and the glass slippers are SO wonderful), this is perfect. I savored every page. By the time Gabriel and Kate ride off into the sunset, I believed that they loved and deserved each other and all that was left was a contented sigh from me.”

No disclaimers, just a flat out apology for leaving this review until after the deadline and after the excellent review by TheoLibrarian was published. Life just got away from me, big time. My (brief) review: Because TheoLibrarian provided such an excellent review yesterday, my comments will simply add a few additional impressions from a second reader. After a difficult first chapter, where Lord Ian Chance and a multitude of his friends and a relation were … Continue reading My Lady, My Lord by Katharine Ashe →
I really wanted to love this book. I’ve enjoyed other books by Ashe but this one just didn’t work as well for me. By the time I finished it, I felt “meh” about it. I felt so “meh” about it that I considered not writing this review. But here we are! So let’s do this thing. 1. The set-up: While this book features more noble people from the Regency, the set-up is a little different … Continue reading My Lady, My Lord by Katharine Ashe →
