Under the Mistletoe with You by Lizzie Huxley-Jones is 99c! This is a M/M small town romance between a baker and an actor who get snowed in. Huxley-Jones also has a F/F holiday romance but unfortunately that one is not on sale.
RECOMMENDED: A Most Unusual Duke by Susanna Allen is $1.99! This is the second book in a series and it earned a Squee grade from Catherine:
You know how sometimes you pick up a book because it looks like fun, and then it turns out to be clever and funny and tender and tropey and still somehow unique, and you read it all in one sitting and hop straight onto the Kobo site after midnight to order the previous book in the series?
Hey there! I enjoyed our conversation last month so much, I wanted to check in again. I also wanted to show you some of the spring we’ve got going on around here! It’s SPRING. My neighbor’s lawn is half covered by lily of the valley, and I want to take the deepest breaths of my life when we walk by. It smells impossibly good. And then there’s my other neighbor who grows poppies! I … Continue reading How’s it Going with You?
Embroidering Her Truth: Mary, Queen of Scots and the Language of Power by Clare Hunter is .99c! This book jumped out at me because it’s an examination of how Mary, Queen of Scots used textiles, embroidery, and color to communicate and convey power. This book has a 4.13 star average on StoryGraph, and a 4.26 star average on Goodreads. It also won an award as Scottish History Book of the Year in 2022! Have you read this book?
RECOMMENDED: A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is $1.99! There’s a new book in the series out in October, focusing on a different couple. I gave the book an A, though there’s a great discussion in the comments if you’re on the fence:
I can say, without a doubt, that A Promise of Fire is going on my keeper shelf. I want more of these characters and I want more of this world. I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savor and devour a book, and Bouchet’s writing is so engaging and magical that I wish she had some sort of backlist I could dive into for the next few months.
On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk is 99c! This is a contemporary romance (or perhaps chick lit?) and I believe was mentioned on a previous Hide Your Wallet. Elyse has read a few of Kelk’s books and really enjoyed them.
RECOMMENDED: The Switch by Beth O’Leary is $2.99! Catherine read this one and gave it an A:
It’s a very gentle, wholesome sort of book. I read it last week when I was sick, and it was really the perfect book to curl up with if one is under the weather.
RECOMMENDED: Angel in a Devil’s Arms by Julie Anne Long is $1.99! Catherine reviewed this one and gave it an A:
Angel in a Devil’s Arms was just enormous fun to read. It’s sweet, it’s sexy, it’s fun, and it’s just a little bit subversive. Highly recommended.
First Time in Forever by Sarah Morgan is $2.99! This is the first book in the Puffin Island series. Fans of Morgan’s romance say this one lacks some oomph, but is still a lovely and sweet ride to an HEA. It has a 4-star average on Goodreads.
Provenance by Ann Leckie is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is a sci-fi novel. Leckie is an autobuy author for a lot of sci-fi fans and while this book is set in the same world as her previous trilogy, I wonder if you need to read those to understand this one. If you know, please leave your thoughts in the comments!
