Hello Stranger by Katherine Center is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! We mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet and I believe early readers of the book had good things to say. The heroine is an artist with face blindness.
The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood is $1.99! Sarah had the author on the podcast and she picked it as her favorite read of 2024.
Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! Sarah and I mentioned this in Hide Your Wallet. I think I wound up grabbing it in audio, but am notoriously bad at whittling down my audiobook library.
Life’s Too Short by Abby Jimenez is $3.99! This is the third book in The Friend Zone series, which can all be read as standalones. All of Jimenez’s books pack an emotional punch, so be ye warned.
RECOMMENDED: When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare is $1.99! If you haven’t read a Dare book before or have missed out on this one, I highly suggest rectifying that problem. Elyse loved this book so much and gave it an A:
Everything about When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare worked for me. Everything. Bust out the squee mop, y’all because this review is just going to be a flappy-hands Good Book Noise® mess.
Things this book has:
1. A sexy Scot hero I pictured as Sam Heughan.
2. A heroine who is a naturalist and illustrator.
3. Tons of UST.
4. A completely crazy sauce plot that Dare pulls off flawlessly.
5. A missing lobster.
RECOMMENDED: The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw is $2.99! Thanks to everyone who let us know about this sale! Carrie gave this one a Squee grade:
Dear readers, I would be remiss if I did not point out that Cassandra Khaw’s book The Salt Grows Heavy is about what happens when a horror story version of a mermaid teams up with a version of Frankenstein’s monster to burn it all down. It is, in its own blood-soaked, rage-fueled way, a romance. There may not be many of us for whom this is our jam, but if it IS your jam, buckle up.
Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons) by Quenby Olson is 99c! Big thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale. I mentioned this on a previous Get Rec’d after I saw several of our community members talking about it in the comments and I always try to highlight books our readers are loving right now.

If you are looking for a cozy fantasy read with excellent romance and worldbuilding, I highly recommend Letters to the Luminous Deep.
An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson is $2.99! This was released in February and we mentioned it on Hide Your Wallet. It’s a Sapphic, gothic romance with a dark academia setting.
