RECOMMENDED: Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99! Carrie gave it a B+:
Devil in Spring was so delightful that I read it slowly because I had to take frequent squee breaks. I truly cannot sufficiently express how overjoyed this book made me. That said, I don’t think it will be everyone’s catnip, because the main character sometimes seems overly young and naïve, even given her character quirks.
Rescue Me by Sarra Manning is 99c! I mentioned this one on a previous Book Beat. One of my romance book club members mentioned this one. At the start of every meeting, we talk about books we’ve enjoyed recently, and they listed this one!
The Wedding Ringer by Kerry Rea is $1.99! The cover gives me major Audrey Hepburn vibes and that’s probably intentional. A woman, down on her luck, agrees to be a bridesmaid for a stranger, it sounds like. I don’t have any strong affinities for weddings, but I can’t imagine needing a bridesmaid so badly that I hire one?
First Comes Like by Alisha Rai is $1.99! If you’ve been waiting for this to go on sale, now is your chance! Shana loved this one and gave it an A-:
My perfect pandemic read has enough drama to keep me guessing, but resolves conflicts before they stress me out. First Comes Like gave me everything I wanted, except for tips on moisturizing lipstick. Sadly, I’m still searching for my perfect shade. But if you’re looking for a trope-filled story with characters who overcome family expectations, First Comes Like was delightfully likable.
