RECOMMENDED: Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai is still $1.99! This angsty contemporary romance has been recommended on several podcast episodes and received an A grade from Redheadedgirl:
So much angst. So much pathos. EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO MUCH.
RECOMMENDED: Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and it’s being price-matched. Elyse & I really enjoyed this horror/sci-fi novel. We jointly reviewed the book and ultimately decided on a B. We loved the cast of characters, but found the ending anticlimactic.
Many of the book’s themes are around friendship–loving a friend but hiding parts of yourself, learning to connect with other women, and the perils of competitive friendships. I loved A Lady for a Duke, it’s a must-read for historical romance fans looking for a new take on Regency friends-to-lovers.

Someone to Trust by Mary Balogh is $1.99! What perfect timing, as Sarah just interviewed Balogh on the podcast yesterday. This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which include a lot of romance. I know that for some Balogh is an autobuy author and this one is the fifth book in the Westcott series. Technically this is a holiday romance, if that is or isn’t your thing, but reviews say it isn’t too overtly Christmas-y.

Racked and Stacked by Lorelei James is $1.99! This is part of her Blacktop Cowboys series and can be read as a standalone. I’m more familiar with James’ erotic western romances, though I’m pretty sure this series isn’t as steamy as say her Rough Riders series.
