Rookie Move by Sarina Bowen is 99c! This is book one in the Brooklyn Bruisers series about a hockey team. Both Elyse and I have enjoyed books in this series, though I think we both agree that the second book, Hard Hitter is our favorite. Readers loved the second chance romance in this book, but found the pacing in the first half a bit slow.
RECOMMENDED: The Governess Game by Tessa Dare is $3.99! This is the second book in the Girl Meets Duke series. Elyse gave this one a perfect grade, an A:
It’s one of the best, if not the best, book I’ve read this year and it was worth all the hours I spent reading that should have been spent sleeping.
Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen is 99c at Amazon right now, though is $4.99 elsewhere. This is the fourth book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series and the first book in the spin-off Brooklyn series. Though this could be reads as a standalone, readers say there’s a lot of build up to this romance in the previous books. It has a 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
He’s Not My Boyfriend by Jackie Lau is $3.99! This book was featured on Cover Awe because seriously, how adorable is that cover. If you want a quick, rom-com read, readers recommend this one. However, others wished the conflict was a bit stronger.
Boy Toy by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby is 99c! This a romantic comedy with an age difference where the heroine is five years older than the hero (34 to his 29). Though this will work as a standalone, readers say you get additional insight into the heroine and her backstory in previous books.
Never a Bride by Megan Frampton is $1.99! This is part of the Duke’s Daughters series and features a fake engagement. Readers recommend Frampton’s writing style, but found this one to be light on historical believability. Have you read this one?
Duke of Darkness by Anabelle Bryant is 99c This is the second book in the Three Regency Rogues series and the first and third books are also on sale! This is a romance between a man and his ward, which I know is catnip for some of you. However, some readers felt the book lacked a tremendous amount of historical accuracy.
RECOMMENDED: A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan is $1.99! This is the first book in the Lady Trent series, which Carrie really loves. Readers say the book is pretty awesome in terms of concept, but they surprisingly wanted more dragons. Have you read this book or series?
RECOMMENDED: Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen is $1.99! This is a sports contemporary romance and part of the Brooklyn Bruisers series. Elyse read this one and gave it an A grade:
So for a non-sports romance type of girl, I was totally swept up by Hard Hitter. I’m adding Sarina Bowen to my auto-buy list. This was the mature, sexy, intelligent contemporary romance I so wanted and a great way to start the new year.
This review is for the audiobook version of Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen. Bittersweet has been on my TBR pile for ages and I was nudged into finally reading it for one of my Goodreads challenges.

Bittersweet is also part of the Romance Audible Package and features dual narrators, which I prefer. Since one of my … Continue reading Audiobook: Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen
