RECOMMENDED: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman is $1.99! This is a fantasy novel that Carrie really enjoyed. She graded it a B+:
While I genuinely loved the characters and concepts of the book, it’s played strictly for fun adventure. It’s basically just an excuse to have smart people fight cyborg alligators in a ballroom and werewolves in a museum. It’s smart, well-written fluff and I ate it up with a spoon.
Ice Planet Barbarians is $2.99 at Amazon! I read the print version and I’m unsure if the first ebook edition differs in content. If you know, please chime in below. Be warned that there is mention of sexual assault and dubious consent/power differentials.
One Dance with a Duke by Tessa Dare is $3.99! This is the first book in Dare’s Stud Club trilogy and features a horse breeder hero. Readers say this one is slow to start with, but recommend powering through! There is a marriage of convenience aspect that reviewers really enjoyed.
RECOMMENDED: Destiny’s Embrace by Beverly Jenkins is $1.99! This book was the Sizzling Book Club Pick in February 2013, and Sarah really enjoyed it, especially the parts about the establishment of the state of California. She also says her favorite scenes are Mariah’s train ride across the country, and how she stares down Logan once she gets to Destiny. This series is just fantastic.
His Scandalous Kiss by Sophie Barnes is $1.99! Readers loved the masquerade ball and Phantom of the Opera elements, but found that the external conflict slowed down the romance. This is the third book in the Secrets at Thorncliff Manor series, though it can be read as a standalone.
Seducing Charlotte by Diana Quincy is 99c! This is the first book in the Accidental Peers series, and you can grab all four books in the series for less than $10. This is an opposites attract romance with a heroine who’s described as a “social reformer.” Some readers felt there was no real tension, while others like the North & South vibe they got from it.
