Hamilton’s Battalion is a wonderful trio of romance novellas set in America during or immediately following the Revolutionary War. I don’t think I’ve ever before found a romance anthology in which all the stories were equally well written. I had high expectations for Courtney Milan and Alyssa Cole, because I’m a fan of their other work, and they did not disappoint. I’ve never read anything by Rose Lerner before, but her novella was also wonderful. … Continue reading Hamilton’s Battalion by Rose Lerner, Courtney Milan, and Alyssa Cole →

This edition of Cover Awe is all about acceptable abs and man-titty! What covers get it right for us? Here are a handful of some A+ examples! Sarah: I really like this because he’s big and strong but also has chest hair and no discernible ab pattern. He broadcasts a different kind of strength – which fit the character.

RECOMMENDED: Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, so get it while you can! Sarah read this book a couple months ago and gave it a B grade:
Overall, I think this book contains a fabulous world with a terrific, galloping adventure through a vivid and wrenching underworld. While I was reading it, I had a hard time putting it down. But the story has most of its strength in the plot and the world-building than in the characters and their emotional development and consistency, and I missed those aspects even while I enjoyed the rest.

The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev is $2.99! This is a recommended contemporary romance and is currently nominated in the Contemporary Romance category. Redheadedgirl and Carrie did a joint review of the book and gave it a B+:
CarrieS: My super short review is, As a novel, this book is great, but as a romance novel, it’s not as good because the hero is not terribly convincing as a character. It’s interesting that we don’t get his point of view directly. That would have helped, because his character swings back and forth a lot between angel and jerk.
RHG: Yeah, it’s…. it’s kind of old school in that way? We get very little of the hero’s POV and it’s all about her. And yet decidedly neo-classic in that the trauma the heroine goes through has actual lasting consequences that aren’t fixed by magic wang.

A Lily Among Thorns by Rose Lerner is 99c! This is a historical romance that deals with some close quarters interaction, as the heroine offers the hero a place to stay. Readers mentioned that Solomon makes a great beta hero, if that happens to be your catnip. However, others said there was too much going on aside from the central plot. Have you read this one?
