I’m not good at it. If “CR-COTY” is making your eyelids twitch, I am also responsible for the name DABWAHA, the bracket tournament of romance we used to … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: Green? →

Books on Sale: A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean & More

RECOMMENDED: A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean is $1.99! This is book one in the Rules of Scoundrels series, all of which take place in and around a gaming hall. This book was nominated for and won the RITA® for Best Historical in 2013.

In our RITA® Reader Challenge reviews, Rayvyn2k gave it an A and wrote:

I loved this book. There is a marriage of convenience (my own personal romance catnip if done well—and it is done very well here), and a hero and heroine who are both struggling with devastating self-esteem issues. Add childhood friendships, meddling friends and family members and you have my perfect story.

Jess M also gave this book an A in her RITA® Reader Challenge review, where she wrote:

This was a great story. It was engaging, entertaining and filled with scandal. This is the first story in The Rules of Scoundrels series and sets up the rest of the characters that will be involved in the series.
