RECOMMENDED: Strange Love by Ann Aguirre is $2.99! Elyse loved this one and gave it an A:
Strange Love by Ann Aguirre is a shining example of just how good a romance novel can be, even if the hero has mandibles, and I recommend everyone go read it now.
If You Desire by Kresley Cole is $1.99! This is the second book in the MacCarrick Brothers trilogy about a group of Scottish brothers who think they’re cursed. This isn’t a paranormal romance like Cole’s current books.
Highland Crown by May McGoldrick is $2.99! Elyse read this one and gave it a C, but notes:
If you like historicals with a lot of fast-paced action and don’t mind insta-love, then this book may work nicely for you.
She also mentioned it feels more like a historical adventure with romantic elements than an outright romance.
Highland Crown by May McGoldrick is the first book in a Scottish historical series, and despite the absence of a time-travel element, it feels extremely Outlander-y. The book features a doctor heroine, an outlaw hero, and both are on the run from a very bad English solider. Sound familiar? The book is a lot of fun and it’s got almost non-stop action that makes it easy to read in a single sitting. Unfortunately all that action … Continue reading Highland Crown by May McGoldrick
Ashwin by Kit Rocha is 99c! This is the first book in their spin-off Gideon’s Riders series and it’s not necessary to have finished the Beyond series to jump into this one. My complaints for this romance were that there was a lot given to introducing the large cast of characters. I still enjoyed the central couple and the secondary characters made me excited for future books.

Innes Munro inherited one of these stones from her mother, and can, by the power of touch, though only with her hands, read the current thoughts and past of others. Innes accompanies her sister Ailein to the northern Highlands to attend Ailein’s wedding … Continue reading Taming the Highlander by May McGoldrick
When I first read the synopsis for Taming The Highlander by May McGoldrick I was very excited because it had so much of the catnip I enjoy in a romance novel, including a learned heroine, mystical stones and a tortured hero. Seeing it was an award nominee only whetted my appetite all the more. Once I started reading however, it became harder and harder to push through it. So many more intriguing books came my … Continue reading Taming the Highlander by May McGoldrick
