Books on Sale: Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid & More

RECOMMENDED: Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid is $2.99! Catherine gave this a Squee review, though the comments definitely brought up some ethics issues.

Really, if you like sweet, sexy heroes who are completely supportive of their heroines, and if you like smart, ambitious heroines who are really good at what they do, and if you love libraries and teasing and friends and kindness, not to mention innuendo that manages to be both silly and seductive at the same time, then you will love this.

Books on Sale: To One Hundred by Melissa Blue & More

To One Hundred by Melissa Blue is 99c at select vendors! I’ve heard great things about Blue’s writing and this is the first book in her #dirtysexygeeks series. The romance is a taboo relationship between a teacher and a student, though the hero and heroine originally meet and flirt online before they realize who they are in person. Readers loved the premise, but found it hard to find the connection between the hero and heroine.
