RECOMMENDED: The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles is $1.99! Carrie gave this one a B+:

The strengths of this book are in the balancing of conflict with humor and optimism, the rich characterizations, and the portrayal of life on the marsh, as well as a romance between two opposites. It’s entertaining, exciting, and immersive. While I wanted a little more from the ending, I enjoyed this book overall!

Books on Sale: A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles & More

RECOMMENDED: A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles is $2.75 at Amazon! I’m hoping this isn’t a soon-expiring Kindle Daily Deal from yesterday. Lara gave this one an A-:

For me, the best part of this book was the conversations between Luke and Rufus, both in the bedroom and outside of it. There was such a profound connection between the two, that it was easy for me to be swept away by it.

Book two didn’t quite have the complexity of that first book, but I still loved this story and devoured it quickly.

Cover Awe: Beautiful Borders

Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles. A blue cover. In the bottom middle is an illustration of two men crouched together. One is in blue and grey with blonde hair while the other has dark hair and is dressed in black and charcoal. In the background is a small house. The borders have all sorts of plants and wildlife - vines, trees, a fox, a rabbit, a snake, and a stork.

Let’s look at some appealing covers! Maya: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Elyse: Oh the classic gothic vibe! I love it! Sneezy: JESUS! Carrie: The skirt, the composition – and is that a filter that gives it that look of old film? Cause that’s AMAZING. Sarah: The designer and artist get all the praise from me.
