RECOMMENDED: Cackle by Rachel Harrison is $1.99! I really love the new cover. Carrie read this one and gave it B+:
Cackle is a feminist and creepy yet cosy read that asks us to explore the boundaries between an empowering friendship and a toxic one
I thought it would be fun to check out an older romance that has been mentioned on the site and in comments for years but never had its own review. People, Breath of Magic, first published in 1996, is completely bonkers and while it has definitively not aged well, it has a certain dreamy charm. While I usually try not to recap the whole plot, buckle up, because this plot deserves some serious recapping. Spoilers … Continue reading Breath of Magic by Teresa Medeiros
Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros is $3.99! This is a standalone historical romance that came out in the early 2000s. It has a blind hero and some Beauty and the Beast elements. Several readers say this book has earned a spot on their keeper shelf. However, there seems to be a “twist” mentioned that readers felt was unnecessary. I bough this one last time it was on sale and I’m on the “keeper shelf” camp.
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen by Victoria Alexander is $1.99! This is the first book in the Lady Travelers Society series and it has, you guessed it, lady travelers. Readers say the plot takes a while to pick up, but others say this historical romance is both sweet and funny.
The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss is 99c! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which also include some other romances. This is an Old Skool romance and for many, was their intro to the genre. I will warn you that there is rape and talk of it. For some, this book will hold a special place in readers’ hearts, while others say this one does not age well. What do you think?
Update: Deal no longer valid.
Lethal Lies by Rebecca Zanetti is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched. This is book two in the Blood Brothers romantic suspense series. Some readers wished they felt more of a connection between the hero and heroine, while others loved the sense of action that complemented the romance.
RECOMMENDED: The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan is 99c! This is the second book in the Brothers Sinister series. Redheadedgirl absolutely loved this book and gave it an A+:
COURTNEY MILAN HOW DO YOU BRAIN.
There was NOT A GOOD GODDAMN THING I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK. Nothing.
RECOMMENDED: Worth the Fall by Bria Quinlan/Caitie Quinn is $3.99! This contemporary romance was nominated for a RITA in the Mid-Length Contemporary category. During the RITA© Reader Challenge review, there were a lot of positive comments about the book!
Reader Taffygrrl gave it an A-:
Just as the conflict between Max and Kasey does not feel forced, the resolution feels natural. The tension lasts as long as it needs to, and the characters work things out at exactly the right time. I would have liked to get to see more of them after they worked out their conflict, but I guess that’s what the next book is for.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to read everything Caitie Quinn’s ever written.
Hardwired by Meredith Wild is $1.99. Sarah sat next to Wild at the 2015 RT signing and can attest to the number of readers who stopped at her table to tell her how much they loved the series. This is book 1 of the Hackers series, is BDSM-flavored erotic romance, and it has a 4.1-star average. Also, if you’d like to try before you buy, there are some chapters up on Wattpad! When I read it last night, they only had five chapters, but it looks like they’ve added even more!
Some of the earliest romances I read were by Teresa Medeiros. I remember staying up all night reading Charming the Prince. Medeiros is one of those authors who is abidingly constant in her writing. Sometimes it knocks me over and I have to lie there for awhile savoring the feeling, and sometimes I read it with a smile and a quick-moving eye, eager for more. While I didn’t read the vampire books she wrote, as … Continue reading The Devil Wears Plaid by Teresa Medeiros
