May 2021 New Releases, Part One

If you’re new to Hide Your Wallet, this is where we list new releases we’re pretty excited for in the coming month.

The second HYW will cover books released from the 15th to the end of the month. We also think this … Continue reading May 2021 New Releases, Part One

Books On Sale

Contemporary Romance, YA, and The Miniaturist

Books on Sale: Risking It All by Tessa Bailey & More

RECOMMENDED: Risking It All by Tessa Bailey is 99c! After I finished Bailey’s Broke & Beautiful series, I went on a tear through her backlist. Word of warning, this contemporary romance does deal with criminal characters (mainly the hero) and at times, feels more like an erotic romance. It also has a detective heroine going undercover to find her brother’s killer. Also, if you love A+ dirty talk, Bailey is definitely your girl!

Books on Sale: About Last Night by Ruthie Knox & More

About Last Night by Ruthie Knox is 99c! This book was part of the 2013 DABWAHA Tournament and was nominated for a RITA® that same year, which means we have Reader Challenge grades! However, both reviews took issue with the book’s ending.

Reader Elissa gave it a B+:

I overall loved this book. While the ending had it faults, it still made me passionately want to type all-caps emails to my friends about it, and I basically ignored my family to read it, which is always a sign of an excellent read.

Reader Jen LB gave it a C:

Grading this book was tricky for me, because I did still enjoy it quite a bit. If I had graded it before the ending, I would probably have given it a B+, but with the ending I had to downgrade to a C. It’s a good read and I wouldn’t want to dissuade anyone from enjoying it, but for me personally I couldn’t grade it higher given the icky ending.

MacRieve, Plus 99c Contemporary Romances!

Books on Sale: MacRieve by Kresley Cole & More

MacRieve by Kresley Cole is $1.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble as a daily deal (so this sale may only be good for today only)! Now you can officially complete the set! This book has an athlete heroine, which a lot of people enjoyed. So feel free to comment and tell us why you liked it! However, for me, this is actually one of my least favorite books in the series. This is my review from Goodreads:

While I loved how the book handled the themes of abuse and how it can perpetuate a cycle, the rest of the content was merely okay. The plot was predictable and both MacRieve and Chloe were rather…boring. MacRieve was nothing more than a big ball of hurt, rarely anything more, and Chloe’s bark was worse than her bite.
