Meet Cute Club by Jack Harbon is $2.99 at Amazon! This is a M/M contemporary romance with two enemies joining forces to save one of the heroes’ romance book club. Readers loved Jordan, who unabashedly loves romance novels, but had difficulties with Rex.
Fireworks by Sarina Bowen is 99c! This is the sixth book in Bowen’s True North series. I’ve enjoyed this series, but haven’t made it quite this far. If you’ve ever been curious about it, the first book is FREE! I also reviewed it and found the series to be great on audio.
An Ex for Christmas by Lauren Layne is $1.99! This is a friends to lovers romance with a hint of some holiday cheer. Readers definitely think this has Hallmark movie potential. I will warn that this romance is from the heroine’s POV and other readers wished to know what the hero was thinking at some points.
Dreadnought by April Daniels is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal. Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B-:
Dreadnought is my catnip in concept and yet the book bugged me a little. This story about a transgender teen superhero is a coming-out story wrapped in a cape. It has fun elements but suffers from characters who are under-developed.
RECOMMENDED: The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow is $3.99! This is a price-matched Kindle Daily Deal, which features some romance and cookbooks. I read this one and gave it a B+:
If you’re in the mood for a lovely, tender fantasy novel about belonging and one that feels more like a long, relaxing bath than a hot, intense shower will all of the fancy pressure and pulsating settings you can imagine, you’ll love this one. It’s a soothing pick for when you hope to take comfort in a book
Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams is $2.99! A lot of the Bitchery has enjoyed this series about heroes creating a romance book club. It also inspired an actual romance book club for men. Catherine gave this one a D and warns that this may not be the fluffy read you want right now.
Torn by Rowenna Miller is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is a fantasy novel with a seamstress main character. Not sure if this is YA though. Carrie read this one and gave it a C+. The pacing was too slow for her, but it’s possible future books may pick up in momentum:
This book is the first in a new series. It has a lot of potential – good technical writing, multiple female characters, discussion of class and class mobility, clothes porn, and more. If other books pick up the pace, it could be great, but this first book was too slow to keep me invested.
RECOMMENDED: The Governess Game by Tessa Dare is $3.99! This is the second book in the Girl Meets Duke series. Elyse gave this one a perfect grade, an A:
It’s one of the best, if not the best, book I’ve read this year and it was worth all the hours I spent reading that should have been spent sleeping.
The single biggest thing you need to know about this book up front is that it is an unapologetic celebration of materialism and name brands. If you don’t want to read about someone’s Louboutins and how well they match said individual’s Stella McCarthy cocktail dress, then read something else. This book happened to catch me in peak escapist mode so I enjoyed it, and yet in a different frame of mind, I could just as … Continue reading Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren Layne
To Woo a Wicked Widow by Jenna Jaxon is 99c at Amazon! This is the first book in The Widows’ Club and has a heroine who is trying to avoid getting married again. Readers seemed divided on the heroine. Some enjoyed her independence, while others couldn’t really connect with her.
Passion on Park Avenue by Lauren Layne is $1.99! This is the first book in the Central Park Pact series and was released earlier this year. I’m a fan of Layne’s other series and found they balance great banter and sexy chemistry. However, some readers feel this straddles the line between chick lit and contemporary romance. Do you have any thoughts?
