RECOMMENDED: In for a Penny by Rose Lerner is $1.99! We had a guest review for this one, where it earned a B+:
I was reading In for a Penny one evening and my husband asked me if I was coming to bed anytime soon. I made incoherent too-invested-in-my-book-for-sleep noises, and he looked at me knowingly.
The Trouble with True Love by Laura Lee Guhrke is $1.99! Carrie read this historical romance and gave it a B grade:
I would consider this to be a almost perfect (but not quite, hence the B grade) comfort read. Good food, good clothes, lovely settings, lovely characters, lots and lots of feminism – that’s my jam!
RECOMMENDED: Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen is $2.99! This author became an auto-buy for me after I read this book as a part of a GoodReads reading challenge. I would liken this book to women’s fiction with a magical realism slant. It’s heartwarming and beautiful and has a 4-star rating on GR. I even wrote a Keeper Shelf squee for it; that’s how much I love this book.
To One Hundred by Melissa Blue is 99c at select vendors! I’ve heard great things about Blue’s writing and this is the first book in her #dirtysexygeeks series. The romance is a taboo relationship between a teacher and a student, though the hero and heroine originally meet and flirt online before they realize who they are in person. Readers loved the premise, but found it hard to find the connection between the hero and heroine.
RECOMMENDED: The Deal by Elle Kennedy is 99c! This book was recommended to me by so many people at this year’s RT Booklover’s Convention. I really loved how the heroine’s past trauma was handled, though the romance felt a little too instant for me. I wound up giving it a B-:
I will give some kudos to some pretty primo sex scenes though. Since Hannah has expressed difficulties with orgasming during sex, Garrett pulls out all the stops to make sure she’s comfortable enough to get off. It’s actually kind of…sweet. Especially when Hannah cries and launches herself into his arms afterward because it’s been years since she had an orgasm with anyone but herself.
The Assassins series by Toni Aleo is $3.99! This bundle features four full-length books and a bonus novella. I seriously cannot get over how amazing of a deal this is. If your catnip included sports-themed contemporary romances, good luck resisting this deal. Readers loved the different personalities on the Assassins hockey team, though several found the HEAs a little rushed. Any sports contemporary fans out there?
