Firelight by Kristen Callihan is $1.99! This is the first book in the Darkest London series, a series that I mostly enjoy. In the first three books, the heroines are sisters and I’d rank them in their series order. The third is my least favorite, namely because it contains a lot of tropes that aren’t my thing. However, I still have enjoyed what I’ve read thus far.
Nicholas by Elizabeth Amber is $1.99! This book is something a bit of a rite of passage. Here’s what Sarah had to say:
That book is a gift. It was a rite of passage for me. It is in the top three most off the wall completely eyebrow raising WTF am I READING RIGHT NOW books I’ve experienced.
I want to caution current readers that there are some potential minefields in its treatment of queerness in some characters, but it’s a ride.
Need You Now by Nicole Helm is 99c! This is the first book in the Mile High Romance series. It’s a contemporary romance with opposites attract elements. If you like outdoorsy, Helm writes a lot of great ones. Readers seem divided on the hero. Some loved his grumpy nature, while others thought his grumpiness bordered on sad and rude.
Stripped by Zoey Castile is $1.99! This is the first book in the Happy Endings series. I read this one and gave it a B grade:
Stripped is an uncomplicated romance between two goofy, sexy people. It has a sweetness to it that’s reminiscent of a contemporary friends to lovers trope. If that hits all of your buttons, do read this!
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is $4.99! It’s part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. It’s a little higher than the sales we normally feature, but less than $5 for this book is still an amazing price. Have you read it? We also recommended it in our Horror Romance Rec League.
RECOMMENDED: Grumpy Jake by Melissa Blue is 99c! This is a contemporary romance novella and Maya gave it an A-:
Grumpy Jake is a bite-sized delight that was joy to tear through in a sitting. It was low-drama, while also being compelling, empathetic, and kind. It’s a great example of how well a novella can work as it expertly delivers you to a HEA just brimming with possibility and I look forward to seeing what Melissa Blue writes next!
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole is $3.99! This is the first book in her Reluctant Royals series and this seems to be a series that just keeps getting better with its books. Many readers loved how Alyssa writes consent, agency, and all sorts of other awesome and empowering things. However, some warn that this book takes several chapters to get into the swing of things.
Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews is $2.99! This is the first book in a new series by Andrews and features a hero who was a bit of a villain in the Kate Daniels series. I’m on the fence on whether this can be read without finishing Kate Daniels. Any experts care to weigh in?
RECOMMEND: Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai is $1.99! This is the third book in the Forbidden Hearts series. It’ll probably behoove you to read the previous books, as this one does wrap up some things. Elyse wrote a Lightning Review for this one and gave it a B+.
