READER RECOMMENDED: Kulti by Mariana Zapata is 99c at Amazon! It’s a Kindle Daily Deal, but so far isn’t being price-matched. If you like slow burn romances and grumpy heroes, this one comes highly recommended by the Bitchery. However, some found the slow burn a little too slow.
RECOMMENDED: Blamed by Edie Harris is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being matched at Barnes and Noble. I loved this romantic suspense, especially the part where the heroine thinks the hero is dead and the moment where they reunite. But I will warn you that it’s incredibly violent. I gave it an A-:
This book was an amazingly pleasant surprise and I lost track of the number of good book noises I made while reading it. I’m still getting my feet wet when it comes to romantic suspense, but I picked a good book to try out.
Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis is $3.99! This is currently nominated for a RITA® in the Long Contemporary category. It also received two favorable grades during our RITA® Reader Challenge:
This is a tough one. I really liked the book the first time… say, B+ or A- levels of liking it. This time I got really irritated with most of the characters: a C+ at best. I’m going to average the two grades and call it a B.
I pretty much loved the setting (despite not being an outdoors person at ALL) and the various supporting characters. I liked that what complications and low-level angst there was in the relationship between Lily and Aidan was handled without too much drama, even though both of them clearly had some lessons to learn about communication and not sending mixed signals.
