Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley is 99c at Amazon, Kobo, and Google:Play! Elsewhere, it’s $3.99, so let’s hope for the price-matching fairies will pay a visit. This is a contemporary romance that borders on the erotic side, and features a motorcycle-riding hero and a one-night stand. Ashley tends to write some dramatic, angsty romance, which is something readers either seems to love or hate. Have you read this one?
One in a Million by Jill Shalvis is $1.99 right now. This is book 12 in the Lucky Harbor series, and came out earlier this year.
This book has been nominated for a RITA®, and reviewer Mandi gave it a B- as it was her first experience with Lucky Harbor, saying, “There are some really great things about this book…. I can definitely see how long time readers may perceive this book as a heartwarming return and a fitting goodbye to a place they deeply cherish. But for this reader, it was just a cute distraction on my way to the next destination.”
Reviewer Mejdu gave it a B+, and said, “In the interest of full disclosure, Lucky Harbor is a real comfort collection for me. I’ve revisited the series on many occasions and have had many squees and swoons across the twelve-book arc.”
RECOMMENDED: At Wolf Ranch by Jennifer Ryan is $2.99! This is technically more of a romantic suspense than a contemporary, but I’d say the suspense portion is pretty light. The book also features an awesome beta rancher hero who knows how to cook. Elyse and I did a joint review of the book and gave it a B:
Elyse:
This book was trope heaven for me. It’s got Country Boy vs City Girl, Unexpected Rescuer, Snowed In… It was like trope confetti.
Amanda:
Yes! Plus I’ve been on a cowboy kick lately and c’mon, did you see the size of that man’s Stetson on the cover?
Admittedly, it was a slow start for me with the phone call and the info dumpage of character details. However once Ella and Gabe were in the same vicinity, the book really took off. Their interactions together were sincere, sweet, and addicting.
