The Most Dangerous Duke in London by Madeline Hunter is $1.99! This is book one in the Decadent Dukes Society series and all three books are on sale. The hero wants revenge and the heroine just wants to go about publishing her women’s journal. Readers like the enemies to lovers aspect of the romance, but others wouldn’t recommend this one on audio as the narrator didn’t fit for them.
RECOMMENDED: Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and, the other deals include more romances and some historical fiction. Check them out! Elyse reviewed this one and gave it an A:
Cold-Hearted Rake has the elements that make me love Kleypas so much as a writer: female friendships, a hero who is a rake but somehow also emotionally aware, a setting that’s fully developed and not a backdrop, and scalding sexual tension.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin is $2.99! 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. It’s part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is being price-matched. Yay!
Three Weeks with a Princess by Vanessa Kelly is 99c! This historical romance is pretty dang cute and is a friends to lovers romances. I loved how the heroine came from a line of scandalous women. I will admit it was a bit slow to start though. However, it’s a pretty charming book. This is also part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, which includes other historical romances. Be sure to take a look!
The Dukes of Vauxhall is 99c! This is a historical romance anthology with four novellas. All of the romances take place simultaneously and readers say the authors did a great job keeping the continuity straight. However, with anthologies, not all of the stories are equal in their enjoyment. Have you read this one?
The Highlander’s Princess Bride by Vanessa Kelly is $1.99! This is the third book in the Improper Princesses series and can be read as a standalone. Some readers noticed this book is inspired by Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, if that’s your jam. Others mentioned that the book is rather long and can feel like it at times.
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is $2.99! I originally found out about this book from Reader MirandaB on a previous Hide Your Wallet post and had to get my hands on it. Several readers also picked it up and mentioned it in the comments of Whatcha Reading? May 2016 Edition. Readers loved the world McGuire created, but be warned that the book is rather short.
Bloodline by Claudia Gray is $1.99! This scifi novel is a Star Wars tie-in that focuses on our favorite general and princess! However, this book focuses more on Leia’s time as a senator. This book has been recommended to me countless times, though some readers found the writing a bit awkward. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: My Fair Duchess by Megan Frampton is $3.99! This is the fifth book in the Dukes Behaving Badly series. Several of Frampton’s titles are on sale for $3.99 or less!
The ending is a bit rushed, but that happens a lot. And the resolution of the Big Misunderstanding and the complications that are keeping Genevieve and Archie apart is pretty simple, in the end. That said, I enjoyed this SO MUCH. “Learning how to figure your shit out” stories are a particular favorite of mine at this point in my life, and this was a great read.
The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky is $2.99! This is the first book in the Olympus Unbound urban fantasy series and the second book is on sale as a Kindle Daily Deal. Sarah gave the first book a B grade:
When I started reading it, I had a really difficult time putting it down. The world building made for addictive reading, even when I was reading things I usually don’t read.
My Fair Princess by Vanessa Kelly is 99c! This book came out in August and made our new releases post for that month! It’s a My Fair Lady retelling, which I know will appeal to some. Readers loved the enemies to lovers romance so much and many described it as a slow burn. However, some readers had some issues with the heroine’s characterization.
