RECOMMENDED: A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! We read this for my book club and we all agreed there wasn’t enough blacksmithing and sword-making. Carrie enjoyed this one and gave it an A-:
This is such a solid book – it’s tear-jerking, it’s inspiring, it’s sexy and romantic, it’s interesting (sword history!) and it’s funny. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Forget Met Not by Julie Soto is $3.99! This is a contemporary romance debut and I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet. I liked this one! The book does switch between past and current events to show more of the main couple’s previous history, but I understand it could be a jarring format for the reader.
Husband Material by Alexis Hall is $1.99! This is the follow-up to Boyfriend Material. I definitely think you need to be a fan of the first book to really enjoy this one. Personally, I didn’t think it needed a sequel and was meh on it.
Scoundrel of My Heart by Lorraine Heath is $1.99! It’s book one in the Once Upon a Dukedom series, which is great news if you don’t like reading out of order.s
A Proposal They Can’t Refuse by Natalie Caña is $2.99! This was Caña’s debut and features rivals to lovers and fake dating. The second book in the series is out this summer. Lots of good food and drink descriptions!
RECOMMENDED: Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert is $3.99! Elyse gave this one an A:
Don’t start Our Crooked Hearts unless you have time to finish it.
It’s such a wonderful, spooky, thrilling story that it’s hard to put down. It’s a book about imperfect parents, teenage dissatisfaction, and female empowerment and it unfolds beautifully. It’s also a remarkable ghost story.
