How to Ruin a Duke by Grace Burrowes and Theresa Romain is 99c! This is a duo of historical romance novellas that features artists of some sort (musicians and writers). The book, in total, is less than 300 pages, so it’s a decent candidate for a quick read!
RECOMMENDED: Fortune Favors the Wicked by Theresa Romain is $1.99! There’s a treasure hunt, a blind hero, and a former courtesan heroine. Talk about catnip! Redheadedgirl gave this an A grade in a Lightning Review.
RECOMMENDED: Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price-matched! Carrie really liked this book and gave it an A-:
This book succeeds because Nettie is such a compelling character. Nettie is incredibly vibrant, prickly, compelling, flawed, exciting, and interesting. She’s compelling because all her experiences and aspects of her personality and her sharp mind come together to create a complex person who you just have to root for.
He’s Not My Boyfriend by Jackie Lau is 99c! This book was featured on Cover Awe because seriously, how adorable is that cover. If you want a quick, rom-com read, readers recommend this one. However, others wished the conflict was a bit stronger.
RECOMMENDED: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This was my first Shupe and I loved it. Feel free to read my review, where I gave it an A-:
This book is a gem. It gave me those starry-eyed, book-drunk feelings that were very reminiscent of when I finished my first Lisa Kleypas historical.
Reviewing Romain is a tricky proposition for me because her writing works so well on my brain, and on my emotions.

Beginner’s Luck by Kate Clayborn is 99c! Sarah gave this book a C- because she was hoping for some more depth in the book. However, I remember seeing the Bitchery recommend it in comments. This might be a Your Mileage May Vary situation. It also has a scientist heroine!
When the Marquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke is $2.99! This is the first book in the An American Heiress in London series, which features – you guessed it – an American heiress in London. A few reviews on Goodreads mentioned that the chemistry between the characters didn’t seem believable, while others loved the vulnerability of the hero and heroine.
RECOMMENDED: A Gentleman’s Game by Theresa Romain is $2.51 at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere! Redheadedgirl read this historical romance and gave it an A:
Theresa Romain basically created a series just for me, and the first full-length book just confirms it. She reached into my head and found the references and plot that would make me happiest, and gave those thoughts a beautiful cover and said, “Here!”
Scandalous Ever After by Theresa Romain is 99c! This is the second book in the Romance on the Turf series and many of Romain’s other titles are on sale. Redheadedgirl has been enjoying this series and gave this one a B grade:
This is another offering from one of my favorite authors, with one of my favorite topics, and one of my least favorite sub-tropes. In the saga of the families of the Romance of the Turf, though, it’s solid.
