The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin is $1.99! This is a fantasy novel with a bit of romance and a strong, fierce heroine who is MUCH loved by readers. This book was nominated for the Hugo, the Nebula, and won the Locus for Best First Novel.
Ne’er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti is $3.99! This is Vasti’s first full-length novel and her trio of novellas was well-reviewed here. Did any of you pick this one up when it released over the summer?
Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey is $1.99! This is book two in the Bellinger Sisters series and is a friends to lovers romance. Are you a fan of this series?
Daughter of the Merciful Deep by Leslye Penelope is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and I believe Penelope’s latest. It came out over the summer. Did any of you pick this one up?
Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey is $1.99! This is book one in the Big Shots series and features a golfer, which we don’t often see in sports romance. I think I remember Elyse reading and liking this one (Elyse, please correct me if I’m wrong!). Apologies if this is an expiring KDD.
Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley is $1.99! This is a standalone contemporary romance with a heroine who works as a travel consultant. Have any of you read this one?
The Hellion’s Waltz by Olivia Waite is $1.99! This is part of the Feminine Pursuits series. Carrie read this one and gave it a B-:
I never thought I’d say this, but The Hellion’s Waltz is just too darn nice. This historical f/f romance is beautifully written and full of kind, courageous, intelligent characters. It is also boring. Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley is $1.99 at Amazon! If you’ve listed to literally any podcast episode I’ve been on with Sarah, you probably know I love cheese and I’m just tickled by the heroine’s dedication to dairy. This seems like a fluffy, small town romance that’s light on angst.
Luck and Last Resorts by Sarah Grunder Ruiz is $1.99! This is book two in a series, but operates fine as a standalone. I’ve heard good things about Ruiz’s writing from friends who read romance. Based on their comments, I expect lots of emotions and pining.
RECOMMENDED: The Dry by Jane Harper is $2.99! I read this after Elyse’s review and found it to be a quick read. Elyse really enjoyed this mystery and gave it an A in a Lightning Review, there is a content warning though:
The Dry is an excellent, solid mystery. I loved the setting of a rural community struggling through a drought that sets everyone on edge and amplifies tensions.
