RECOMMENDED: The Henchmen of Zenda by KJ Charles is 99c! Carrie read this one and gave it an A:

RECOMMENDED: Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is part of the Castles Ever After series, but can be read on its own. Elyse loved this book:
I loved Do You Want to Start a Scandal. It’s funny, it’s sexy and it’s got some Clue-like shenanigans going on. If you have better self control than I do, I recommend savoring this book rather than powering through in one sitting (good luck).

Carrie gave it B: I can’t WAIT to find out what Charlotte, Livia, and Mrs. Watson are up to. I hope it involves them being protective of each other, empowering, and smart. The excitement is palpable!

The Butterfly Bride by Vanessa Riley is 99c! Elyse picked this one for October’s Hide Your Wallet. Readers really enjoyed the characters in this one, though felt the pacing could have been better. This is the third book in the Advertisements for Love series, though can be read on its own.

The Bittersweet Bride by Vanessa Riley is 99c! This is the first book in the Advertisements for Love series and might have a whiff of a secret baby. But please correct me if I’m wrong. Readers warn this book is a bit bananas and has an Old Skool vibe. Would you agree?
