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!
Welcome to Book Beat! Book Beat aims to highlight other books that we may hear about through friends, social media, or other sources. We could see a gorgeous ad! Or find a new-to-us author on a list of underrated romances! Think of Book Beat as Teen Beat or Tiger Beat, but for books. And no staples to open to get the fold-out poster.
A Duke, a Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley is $1.99! This one underwent a cover redesign. I think it’s fine, though the baby carriage doesn’t look to scale. Have you read this one?
Island Queen by Vanessa Riley is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is Riley’s first work of historical fiction as opposed to historical romance. It’s about Dorothy Kirwan Thomas, a free Black woman who achieved great wealth. Have you read it?
Many readers WILL be enthralled with the emotion of Bastien and Celine and for them the final sections of the book will be as thrilling as they were surely meant to be. Think that might be you? Go out and get yourself some Victorian era New Orleans vampires.
Devil in Disguise by Lisa Kleypas is $2.99! This is the seventh book in the Ravenels series and Catherine gave it a B-:
Devil in Disguise is a low-stakes, sexy romance, with cameos from some of my favourite characters from the other Wallflowers and Ravenel stories. It did suffer from one significant flaw (don’t play the Our Love Is Doomed card if it will be thrown away halfway through the story).
When a Rogue Meets His Match by Elizabeth Hoyt is $2.99! I believe this is also a Kindle Daily Deal. This is book two in the Greycourt series. Ellen reviewed the first one to meh reviews and this one earned an F. Apparently the hero never sufficiently apologizes for his treatment of the heroine. However, I know Hoyt is an autobuy author for some if you’ve been waiting for this one to go on sale.
