RECOMMENDED: Someone to Wed by Mary Balogh is $1.99! To say Elyse loved this book is an understatement. She gave it an A:
It was emotionally rich, with a deeply engaging, slow-building romance centered around a conflict that didn’t ruin me. There’s sadness there, but not darkness.
If you love slow-burn romance or just a really beautifully written Regency, pick up Someone to Wed. You won’t be disappointed.
RECOMMENDED: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye is $1.99! Carrie read this one and, as a Jane Eyre fan, really enjoyed it. She gave it an A-:
This book is bloodthirsty and exciting. It’s hard-boiled and tender. It’s funny and full of gothic melodrama. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Have you ever felt like a book was fighting with you? I had such a hard time with my innocent-seeming paperback copy of Lady Traveller’s that you would have thought it was one of the feisty books in the Terry Pratchett universe that have to be chained to the shelves. It wouldn’t lie flat. It kept worming its way under couch cushions and blankets. Every time I picked it up I dropped it, and every time … Continue reading The Lady Traveler’s Guide to Deception With an Unlikely Earl by Victoria Alexander
His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras is 99c! This contemporary romance features a single dad hero and a dance teacher heroine. Sonali Dev recommended this on a previous podcast episode. She did mention that at times, the book felt more like women’s fiction with a focus on family than a romance. The second book is also part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals.
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen by Victoria Alexander is $2.49! This is the first book in the Lady Travelers Society series and it has, you guessed it, lady travelers. Readers say the plot takes a while to pick up, but others say this historical romance is both sweet and funny.
Update: Deal no longer valid.
The Lady Travelers Guide to Scoundrels and Other Gentlemen by Victoria Alexander is 99c! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Readers were really into the plot, but mention that it takes a while to really get going. 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.
RECOMMENDED: Fortune Favors the Wickedby Theresa Romain is $1.99 at Amazon! Hopefully, it’ll be priced matched later today! There’s a treasure hunt, a blind hero, and a former courtesan heroine. Talk about catnip! Redheadedgirl gave this an A grade in a Lightning Review:
What I found the most interesting about this book was how the blind hero was written. He hadn’t always been blind – he was struck by a disease while he was in the Navy – and the narrative describes with abundant detail how he moves through a world he can’t see, but he still perceives. And I really appreciated that she doesn’t magically cure him of his blindness. Love doesn’t cure all things, and this is a part of who he is now.
