Books on Sale: Bonds of Brass by Emily Skrutskie & More

RECOMMENDED: Bonds of Brass by Emily Skrutskie is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, and I recommend checking them out today since there are a lot of great cookbooks included, like Ottolenghi’s Flavor. Ellen read this one and gave it a B+:

I think it has elements to satisfy a wide reading audience: a sizzling slow-burn romance between people with actual significant obstacles to their relationship, a sweeping and epic plot about the rise and fall of empires, gut-wrenching internal character conflict, and wacky space hijinks.

Books on Sale: Open House by Ruby Lang & More

RECOMMENDED: Open House by Ruby Lang is 99c! Aarya read this one and gave it a B+:

Nitpicks aside, Open House is a shining example of what novellas can accomplish. High word count isn’t necessary for the emotional resonance of numerous complex issues. I enthusiastically recommend Open House to any reader looking to laugh and cry while reading a short contemporary romance.

RECOMMENDED: Soulless by Gail Carriger is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is the first book by the Parasol Protectorate series and for many readers, this book ignited their love for Carriger’s writing.

Variable Onset by Layla Reyne

Variable Onset

In a world of lockdowns and panic-buying, I want two things in a romance novel: suspense and sex. This book gave me both. Meet Carter Warren, a Special Agent with the FBI, who moves from one undercover assignment to the next with nary a home base in sight. He’s buff, smart, and a little cocky. Now, allow me to introduce you to Lincoln Monroe AKA Mr Homebody. He’s a professor at Quantico and a silver … Continue reading Variable Onset by Layla Reyne

Books on Sale: Under the Wire by HelenKay Dimon & More

Under the Wire by HelenKay Dimon is 99c! Elyse loves this series and this is the fourth book in the Undercover Bad Boys series. Readers thought the balance of romance and suspense was spot on, but others felt the book added too many components to the suspense aspect and it got a little muddled. Any Dimon fans in the Bitchery?
