Proper Scoundrels by Allie Therin is $1.99! This is a spin-off of Therin’s Magic in Manhattan series. For those familiar with the books, are these characters from the original series or new characters in a similar world?
RECOMMENDED: The One You Can’t Forget by Roni Loren is 99c! I love this series and highly recommend any of the books in it. However, please be warned that it deals with the aftermath of a school shooting. The first book is FREE and the third is also discounted.
RECOMMENDED: Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews is $1.99! Burn for Me is the first book in the Hidden Legacy series, and is an urban fantasy/billionaire romance with magic and suspense. We had a great guest squee on the entire series and I can definitely confirm the books are amazing! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched.
Fatal Affair by Marie Force is $1.99 at Amazon, Google:Play, and iBooks. It’s $2.99 elsewhere! It’s also the first book in the popular romantic suspense Fatal series. The romance is between a detective and a politician, and the series follows these two characters. A lot of readers say the pairings reminds them of Eve and Roarke from J.D. Robb’s In Death series. However, some said the book dragged in places.
The Black Lyon by Jude Deveraux is $3.99! This is one of the first romances Deveraux published. It came out in 1980 and has Old Skool qualities, but many readers say this is the book that turned them into Deveraux fans. I will also mention that if rape is a trigger for you, avoid this book or at least read cautiously. Any Bitchery members care to add their thoughts?
The Hostage by Susan Wiggs is $1.99! This is a historical romance and book one in the Great Chicago Fire Trilogy, so I’m sure you can take a guess at the book’s setting. I also believe there’s some kidnapping that happens. Readers have said that the romance is rather slow in the book, but others loved what Wiggs did with the setting. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads. And, if you like Susan Wiggs, several of her other books are on sale, including At the King’s Command, which was my first review here at SBTB.
The Charm School by Susan Wiggs is $1.99 right now. This historical was originally published in 1999, and is about an awkward, shy young woman who sneaks aboard a ship bound for Rio (as you do). When the crew notice the attraction between her and the captain, they begin tutoring her in the the finer arts of being a confident young lady (yes way). This book has a much-loved Ugly Duckling storyline, and a 3.9-star average on GR.
Hidden Star by Nora Roberts is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance with a touch of suspense. The heroine also has amnesia and a big bag full of jewels and cash. A few readers weren’t fans of the heroine and found her to be rather boring. However, many thought this was a fun read with lots of elements: action, romance, and suspense. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker is $2.99! This is a fantasy historical and reader favorite. Carrie S. reviewed this book in June 2013 and really liked it. She says doesn’t have romance as its primary plot, but it’s a beautiful read:
I loved this book, but not so much for the love story. I loved the mythologies, the settings, and the characters. The neighborhoods were incredibly detailed and vivid and interesting. The cultural and religious communities felt real and fascinating. I love books that let me see into another world, and this book gave me that feeling many times. The characters were all mesmerizing. I felt like I was in each setting, meeting these real people.
