Sin and Ink by Naima Simone is 99c! This is the first book in the Sweetest Taboo series and is an erotic contemporary. This one has been recommended to me by several of my fellow romance readers because I love a good dose of angst. Reviews say this one is definitely angsty and intense, if that is or isn’t your thing.
One Night with the Laird by Nicola Cornick is $1.99! The hero and heroine have had relations in the past and now the heroine needs the hero’s help, so there’s a second chance element. Readers say the sexytimes have a hint of BDSM to them (restraints), but that the villain was rather obvious.
Welcome to Lit Wicks! This is where we pair an author’s backlist with candles to really immerse yourself in the reading experience. All of the candles featured in these post are from Etsy, which means there is often worldwide shipping and that you’re supporting independent crafters and sellers. The Etsy candle rabbit hole is one I have gone down many times. One of my favorite types of heroes is the nature-loving hero. I’m not a … Continue reading Lit Wicks: Contemporary Outdoorsy Heroes
RECOMMENDED: The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston is $1.99! Yeah, you’re reading that right. If you were at RT a couple years ago, Sarah squeed about this so hard, so thanks to everyone who told us about this sale. And she did a little drive by squee during a review for the second book, The Undoing:
Feared Viking blacksmith (of sorts) in the Raven clan has a massive crush on a former Marine who is reborn as a Crow. (Bonus: Ravens giving him shit about his crush, and his ability to admit easily that he really likes her: ALL the thumbs, all of them up.)
Need You Now by Nicole Helm is $3.99! 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 grump nature, while others thought his grumpiness bordered on sad and rude.

Zero to Sixty by Marie Harte is 99c! This is a contemporary romance with a lonely mechanic hero. There’s also an adorable stray dog named Cookie. This can definitely be read as a standalone, but some found the hero a little too gruff for their liking. For the most part, I’ve enjoyed this series
Diablo Lake: Moonstruck by Lauren Dane is 99c! Sarah reviewed this one and thought it was a great start to the series. Here are some of her thoughts:
This paranormal small Southern town of shifters and witches and rival pack tensions between the Dooleys and Pembrys is immersively fun, sexy, and thoughtful. Protected just came out, but the balance of power in the Pembry pack is shifting (hur hur) from assumed power achieved from physical strength toward strategic and diplomatic strength – prescient and interesting reading on top of (hur hur) the sexxytimes. Bonus points: witches AND vivid, loving female friendships.
Rebel Cowboy by Nicole Helm is $1.99! This is a contemporary western with a former athlete turned cowboy hero. Readers loved the interaction between the hero and heroine, but others found the characters a bit unapproachable at the beginning of the book. Rebel Cowboy came out earlier this year and has a 3.6-star rating on Goodreads.
