Scifi, Steampunk, & Paranormal Romance

Books on Sale: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel & More

Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel is $1.99! I’ve been seeing and hearing things about this book everywhere! It’s a new scifi novel with a female protagonist. Readers say that though this scifi is a little darker and less “feel good,” the loved it. However, some felt a bulk of the book was just setup and information dumping for the next book. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

Books on Sale: Wallflower Gone Wild by Maya Rodale & More

RECOMMENDED: Wallflower Gone Wild by Maya Rodale is $2.99! This is the second book in the Bad Boys & Wallflowers series, and you can get the first book, plus several others from Rodale, on sale! Elyse reviewed this book in the summer of 2014 and gave it an A:

The sexual tension in this book was really well done, and I loved the slow and organic way that Olivia and Phinn looked past “London’s Least Likely” and “The Mad Baron” to fall in love with the actual person they were married to. Reading about both of them coming out of their shells was a delight.

RECOMMENDED: When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare is $1.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! Elyse loved this book so much and gave it an A:

Everything about When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare worked for me. Everything. Bust out the squee mop, y’all because this review is just going to be a flappy-hands Good Book Noise® mess.

Things this book has:

1. A sexy Scot hero I pictured as Sam Heughan.

2. A heroine who is a naturalist and illustrator.

3. Tons of UST.

4. A completely crazy sauce plot that Dare pulls off flawlessly.

5. A missing lobster.

Books on Sale: A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare & More

A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is the very first book in the Spindle Cove series and was reviewed in a previous RITA© Reader Challenge.

Reader Kelly gave it an A-:

I really enjoyed this book!  I laughed out loud many times at some of the tiniest details, such as a lamb named Dinner that was still living at the end of the story.  I loved the running joke on “Mrs. Worthington’s Wisdom” – a book that was filled with anything but wisdom on what is proper for a lady to do or say or not do or say.

Reader HarperGray gave it a C+:

Tessa Dare writes some of the most humorously appealing prose that I have read in a long time. Inner monologues and personal observations are somehow both true to life and witty, dialogue is full of banter, and sheep get bombed.

Then why, oh why, is there so little chemistry between Susanna and Bram?

Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy from Cole, Andrews, & More

Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy from Cole, Andrews, & More

RECOMMENDED: Lothaire by Kresley Cole is $1.99! We’re in the home stretch with these new cover designs, and if you’ve been keeping up with the sales, you could own the entire series for less than $30. Depending on where you start counting, that’s either thirteen or fourteen titles.
I personally love this series and admittedly, I wasn’t sure about the heroine in this one being Lothaire’s mate, but she really grew on me. Any girl who sends her severed middle finger to a guy is a-okay in my book. The book was also reviewed for the 2013 RITA® Reader Challenge in the Paranormal Romance category. Reader Pam G gave it an A-:

I just want to note that I loved Lothaire both times I read it, and I expect that I’ll read it again.  My taste in urban fantasy/paranormal romance runs strongly to supernatural sex and violence heavily laced with humor, because without the humor, the sex and violence gets to be a yawn after awhile.  I would recommend Lothaire to any reader who enjoys mismatches made in heaven, edged dialogue, immortal angst and multi-leveled hilarity.

Giveaway: A KitchenAid Stand (Mixer) and Lynsay Sands!

To celebrate the 21st book in Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau series, The Immortal Who Loved Me, Avon asked if they could give away a 4.5 quart Kitchen Aid standing mixer here at the hot pink palace. Like I would say no to anything that involved the remote possibility of baked goods, right? Why baked goods? As Caro, the lovely publicists who came up with this buttery idea wrote to me, “Since the heroine, Sherry Carne, owns a … Continue reading Giveaway: A KitchenAid Stand (Mixer) and Lynsay Sands!
