The ever reliable K.J. Charles is back with The Secret Lives of County Gentlemen. This is a charming but intense story in which two very different men with very different lives navigate a relationship in the marshlands of Kent, where smuggling is a cultural norm, everything is just a little bit gothic, mystery abounds, and “out-marsh” people are held in suspicion. ‘London’ and ‘Kent’ hit it off in the big city as clandestine and anonymous … Continue reading The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles →

RECOMMENDED: Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles is FREE! AJ reviewed this one and gave it a B+:
Long story short, if you’re looking for a fun thriller and you don’t mind buckling up for the long-ish haul on the romance (or if you just miss used bookstores as much as I do), give it a try!

Slightly Married by Mary Balogh is $1.99! This is the first book in the Bedwyn Saga, which is a favorite amongst romance readers. It also has a cover updated, which is…fine? I kind of miss the red and gold.

Vessel of Starfire by Allison Carr Waechter is $2.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale after featuring it on Cover Awe. This one is more of a YA or NA title and, while there is a queer romance in the book, I believe the cover subjects are sisters. Do correct me in the comments below if you’ve read it!

Lizzie and Dante by Mary Bly is $2.99! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is Eloisa James’s pen name. This is more women’s fiction than a contemporary romance. It’s also a Kindle Daily Deal.

Love All Year is $2.99! This is a holiday romance anthology that features holidays outside of Christmas. The anthology is a little over 350 pages. If my math is correct, there are seven stories from some great authors.

RECOMMENDED: The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken is $1.99! At the moment, it’s a Kindle Daily Deal only at Amazon. This was my one pick for hilarious reading in our Ready Set Go. I also gave this an A-. Seriously, it’s so much fun:
The Blacksmith Queen is a bloody, feminist romp that exudes girl power in all forms, and I’m envious of its fantasy girl squad.
