The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon is $3.99! Maya reviewed this one and wasn’t quite sold on the hero. However, if you’ve been waiting for this to have a reduction in price, now’s the time to grab it! I’m excited to see what’s next for Rochon and her contemporary romances.
Dream Maker by Kristen Ashley is $1.99! This book released in May and is the first in a new series. I’m very curious about the heroine, who takes up erotic dancing to help pay for her engineering degree. I’m all for more positive representations of sex work, though Ashley’s books don’t always work for me. Have you read this one?
The Kingdom by Jess Rothenberg is $2.99! My roommate, who exclusively reads YA and has 600+ titles in our apartment, really enjoyed this one. I trust her opinion implicitly. She says it’s unsettling in the best way and is Westworld meet Disney princesses.
RECOMMENDED: The Crier’s War by Nina Varela is $1.99! Ellen loved this one and gave it an A-:
I cannot stress enough how new and exciting this book felt. The premise really delivered both in terms of plot and in terms of how fully its implications were explored. The heroine duo was awesome, the queer love was amazing, the prose had me fully in my feels, and I’m still thinking about some of the deeper questions raised by this book several days later.
His Dark Magic by Pat Esden is 99c! I mentioned this in a previous Hide Your Wallet and if you were excited about it like I was, you can grab it for less than a buck! Readers thought this was a great start to a new series, while others thought the romance and fantasy balance was a bit skewed.
The English Wife by Lauren Willig is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This is historical fiction with a mystery element, and I love this cover. Some readers found the plot a bit hard to follow. However, others love the dialogue and layers to story. Have you read this one?
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole is $1.99! This is the first book in her Reluctant Royals series and this seems to be a series that just keeps getting better with its books. Many readers loved how Alyssa writes consent, agency, and all sorts of other awesome and empowering things. However, some warn that this book takes several chapters to get into the swing of things.
RECOMMENDED: Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath is $2.99! Jessie, who was a publicist at Avon, is a huge fan of this book, and has been since forever. she wrote A Love Letter to Texas Destiny a few years ago, and said:
There’s so much angst and heartache and tenderness and joy in this book, I’m overwhelmed with emotions every time I read it (which is maybe once or twice a year for the past ten years).
A Scandalous Proposal by Kasey Michaels is $1.99! This is a historical romance and the second book in The Little Season series. Readers recommend this one for a silly and light romance, while others mentioned they didn’t care for the hero and heroine’s frequent sexual fraternizing.
RECOMMENDED: London Celebrities Collection by Lucy Parker is $1.99! Huge thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale because it’s awesome. This set collections 3 contemporary romances. Sarah loves this series and you can catch her reviews here:
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, which features a ton of awesome scifi and fantasy! I will warn that this fantasy novel is very graphic: sexual violence, atrocious warcrimes, self-harm, etc. If you’re able to read about those things, I highly recommend picking this one up. It’s a fantastic debut.
