The Earl Not Taken by A.S. Fenichel is $2.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in The Wallflowers of West Lane series and I like the cover for this one. Readers liked the heroine, but found the plot to be rather thing. Any thoughts from the Bitchery?
Happy Tuesday! It’s the last Tuesday in March and we’re closing off the month with a handful of new releases. Three-quarters of them are historicals—can you believe it?! Which books are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!
Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy is $2.99! This one is a slightly cozy, queer fantasy with rivals who are now magically connected after a curse goes wrong. Last time this was on sale, the comments mention it’s a slow burn and the first book does not have an HEA in it.
This Spells Disaster by Tori Anne Martin is $1.99! This was featured on both Hide Your Wallet and Cover Awe. I feel like if you enjoyed the Witches of Thistle Grove series by Lana Harper, you may enjoy this one.
Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun is $1.99! I remember Aarya being excited for this one in Hide Your Wallet, but it seems like there was too much emphasis on pop culture and not enough on the actual relationship.
The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Sajni Patel gets some really great covers. Her newest one was featured on Cover Awe. Have any of you read this one? What’d you think?
It’s a doozy of a release week! There are lots of contemporary romances coming out, but some fantasy and sci-fi novels on our to-read and to-buy piles. A few of you have already mentioned some of these in the comments! What books are you excited for this week? Tell us all about them!
The Proposal by Mary Balogh is $1.99! This is the first book in her Survivor’s Club series, which is a favorite amongst the Bitchery. Readers loved the hero, Hugo, but I’ve never felt particularly moved to pick one up. Balogh fans, what do you love about her books?
Peg and Rose Solve a Murder by Laurien Berenson is $2.99! I mentioned this on a previous edition of Get Rec’d. If you’re on the “senior sleuths” train, maybe pick this one up!
