If I Loved You Less by Aamna Qureshi is 99c! This is a contemporary romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma. I thought we had talked about this one because the cover was familiar to me, but no dice.
I’m BACK! It took me awhile to do this last one because, well, you’ll see. But if you’re just arriving here at the mayhem, welcome! I’ve been taking a really thorough look at the Contemporary Romance Colors that are most prevalent on covers this year and attempt to identify what is the CR-COTY, the Contemporary Romance Color of the Year. We’ve talked about Green. A LOT of Contemporary Green Romance, and debates about whether something … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: So Much Blue. So Much.

Desiring Lady Caro by Ella Quinn is $1.99! This is a historical romance with a Venetian setting. Reviews on Goodreads say this is a pretty fast-paced romance and that there’s a road trip element! Though trigger warning because it seems part of the heroine’s backstory includes rape.

The Awakening by Nora Roberts is $2.99! This is book one is what I believe to be her latest series and looks to be a blend of contemporary fantasy and romance. I was eh on the Chronicles of One series, but still bought this one in hardcover when it came out. Have you read it?

Highland Dragon Warrior by Isabel Cooper is $1.99! I enjoyed this book and so did Sarah. She gave it a B:
I had a really good time reading this book. I loved the detail, the integration of fantasy and chemistry and history and alchemy into the world of a Scottish castle in the 1300s, and I really liked Sophia and Cathal.

Fake Bride Wanted by Holly Rayner is 99c at Amazon! This is a contemporary romance released last week and seems to be bursting with catnip. Royalty! Fake relationships! Characters with history! It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads and has really positive reviews.

The Bawdy Bride by Amanda Scott is $1.99! This is a historical romance that was originally published in 1995 and seems to have Gothic elements. Some reviews mention there are some hefty old school vibes, while others said they were surprisingly bored.

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched at select vendors. This was one of the most sought after ARCs at Book Expo America in 2018. It’s also over 800 pages, so a digital copy might be beneficial. I’ve seen reviews call this one an “epic feminist fantasy” novel.
