Radiance by Grace Draven is $1.99! This was a previous book club pick on the site and a fantasy romance. I remember really liking this one, especially the beginning dynamics between the hero and heroine. Have you read it?
Love in Color by Bolu Babalola is $1.99! This was a previous Hide Your Wallet mention and is a collection of short romances that reimagine myths and folklore. Have you picked this one up? One of my friends says it’s a quick read.
RECOMMENDED: Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews is $2.99! This may be a leftover deal and could expire soon. Many of us romance readers can’t recommend this series or this author enough. You can pick this one up without read the story arc of the previous three, but why would you want to deprive yourself of Ilona Andrews goodness.
The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel is $1.99! Because this book was such a bestseller, I’m worried this could expire at any moment. I personally haven’t read it, but a fellow bookseller colleague listed this as their best book of 2020. Have you read it?
Dalliances & Devotion by Felicia Grossman is $1.99! This is the second book in The Truitts series, and the first is also on sale. Claudia gave this one a B:
Readers who enjoy seeing characters embark on literal and figurative road trips will like this book. As long as they are patient with a few detours, the journey and the destination are worth it.
Ice Cream Lover by Jackie Lau is $3.99! Holy abs, Batman! This is the second book in the Baldwin Village series, which can be read out of order. This series has a lot of foodie elements and is relatively low angst, which a lot of us are in the mood for right now.
Welcome back to Lightning Reviews! There’s a whole assortment here: a mystery, a contemporary romance, and a historical romance. The grades here range from borderline middling to straight up DNF. There are also a couple here a little longer than our typical Lightning Reviews, though they’re still shorter than our regular reviews, which are typically over 1000 words.
While reading My Darling Duke, I realized that as much as I rail against the popularity of magic peen as a plot device, magic cooch is not an improvement. Kitty Danvers and her group of wallflowery friends are veterans of multiple unsuccessful marriage market seasons in London. Kitty is a world-weary twenty-three, and with her hopes for a husband and children fading, she and her friends decide to be “sinful.” For Kitty, that means claiming … Continue reading My Darling Duke by Stacy Reid
RECOMMENDED: A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare is $2.49! This is the first book in the much loved Spindle Cove series. Sarah has really enjoyed this series (though she says this one was her least favorite of the books). She also says the setting is wonderful and the characters, especially the women, are fantastic. What’s your favorite book in the series?
Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston is $2.99! This is a limited time deal and I know many of you loved this one. Aarya gave this one a C- because she found the political world building too much of a distraction.
The English Wife by Lauren Willig is $1.99! This is historical fiction with a mystery element, and I love this cover. Some readers found the plot a bit hard to follow. However, others love the dialogue and layers to story. Have you read this one?
