  • Three Parts Dead

    Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone

    Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone is $3.99! This is a recommended urban fantasy and many of my friends loved it. Reviewers on Goodreads really enjoyed the badass heroine, but some felt it had “first book syndrome” with too much stuff going on to set up the plot. Have you read this one?

    A god has died, and it’s up to Tara, first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life before His city falls apart.

    Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. Without Him, the metropolis’s steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot.

    Tara’s job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in. Her only help: Abelard, a chain-smoking priest of the dead god, who’s having an understandable crisis of faith.

    When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb’s courts—and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb’s slim hope of survival.

    Set in a phenomenally built world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces readers to an ethical landscape in which the line between right and wrong blurs.

  • The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior

    The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton

    The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton is $1.99. This is book one in the Dukes Behaving Badly series – do dukes behave otherwise? Maybe in some other genre – and has a 3.4-star average. Readers who enjoyed it and left positive reviews mentioned the humor and the dialogue, and the nobleman/governess trope as among their favorites. However, others warn that the characters seemed more fitting of a modern setting.

    All of London knows the Duke of Rutherford has position and wealth. They also whisper that he’s dissolute, devilish, and determinedly unwed. So why, everyone is asking, has he hired a governess?

    When Miss Lily Russell crosses the threshold of the Duke of Rutherford’s stylish townhouse, she knows she has come face to face with sensual danger. For this is no doting papa. Rather, his behavior is scandalous, and his reputation rightly earned. And his pursuit of her is nearly irresistible—but resist she must for the sake of her pupil.

    As for the duke himself, it was bad enough when his unknown child landed on his doorstep. Now Lily, with her unassuming beauty, has aroused his most wicked fantasies—and, shockingly, his desire to change his wanton ways. He’s determined to become worthy of her, and so he asks for her help in correcting his behavior.

    But Lily has a secret, one that, if it becomes known, could change everything . . .

  • Slow Hand

    Slow Hand by Victoria Vane

    Slow Hand by Victoria Vane is 99c! This is a contemporary western romance, though some readers on Goodreads have labeled it as erotica. The hero is a favorite amongst the reviews, while the heroine seemed to toe the line between independent and just plain bitchy. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads and is the first book in the Hot Cowboy Nights series. If you like Vane’s contemporary westerns, a couple others books are also on sale.

    In rural Montana…
    Wade Knowlton is a hardworking lawyer who’s torn between his small-town Montana law practice and a struggling family ranch. He’s on the brink of exhaustion from trying to save everybody and everything, when gorgeous Nicole Powell walks into his office. She’s a damsel in distress and the breath of fresh air he needs.

    Even the lawyers wear boots…
    Nicole Powell is a sassy Southern girl who has officially sworn off cowboys after a spate of bad seeds-until her father’s death sends her to Montana and into the arms of a man who seems too good to be true. Her instincts tell her to high tail it out of Montana, but she can’t resist a cowboy with a slow hand…

  • You Had Me at Hello

    You Had Me at Hello by Mhairi McFarlane

    You Had Me at Hello by Mhairi McFarlane is 99c at select vendors! This is a “one that got away” story between two friends from college. With a 3.7-star rating on GR, readers loved the writing, which happened to give them a mega case of the feels. This book has a major catnip alert with a friends to lovers beginning and a possible second chance romance, but others said it was pretty slow.

    What happens when the one that got away comes back? Find out in this sparkling debut from Mhairi McFarlane.

    ‘Think of the great duos of history. We’re just like them.’

    ‘You mean like Kylie and Jason? Torvill and Dean? Sonny and Cher?’

    ‘I think you’ve missed the point, Rachel.’

    Rachel and Ben. Ben and Rachel. It was them against the world. Until it all fell apart. It’s been a decade since they last spoke, but when Rachel bumps into Ben one rainy day, the years melt away.

    They’d been partners in crime and the best of friends. But life has moved on: Ben is married. Rachel is not. Yet in that split second, Rachel feels the old friendship return. And along with it, the broken heart she’s never been able to mend.

    Hilarious, heartbreaking and everything in between, you’ll be hooked from their first ‘hello’.

  1. Carol says:

    In Amazon’s big Kindle sale there are six romances. Of those six, FOUR are by Nicholas Sparks. Now the man sells a shit ton of books; so there are people out there who like his work. My policy for a number of years (no need to comment on the size of that number) is to read only female genera authors. (There is the occasional exception, but they are few and far between.) Anyway, can any of the Bitches tell me what the attraction of Sparks is? Is his stuff even really romance?

  2. bnbsrose says:

    @Carol, no, no I can’t.

  3. Ren Benton says:

    @Carol: Another “there is no attraction” vote here. I slogged through one book to see what the fuss was about and endured one movie to be social, and I guarantee neither will ever happen again.

    I’ve been told by people who disdain genre romance that Sparks is acceptable because he’s “literary,” which they support by pointing out that he is a man, as opposed, I presume, to one of those hacks with a vagina that writes smut.

    (I know that sounds like the vagina is writing the smut, but hey, if the genitals are that important, they might as well be slaving over the keyboard, am I right?)

    I’m sure there are proud readers of genre romance who glom Sparks, too, but I haven’t personally encountered that overlap.

  4. Karen H near Tampa says:

    @Carol: I also tried a book and two movies actually, and will never go anywhere near Sparks again. I cannot explain the appeal of Sparks’ work. I also mostly stick to female authors.

  5. SusanK says:

    Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop is on sale for $1.99 at Amazon and Kobo and Some Like it Scot by Suzanne Enoch is $2.99 at Amazon. Not on sale at B&N (yet?).

  6. Crystal says:

    Am I the only one that read Three Parts Dead and found it hellaciously slow?

    Just me?

    :::hides:::

  7. Rachel says:

    @Carol – Disclaimer: I haven’t read Nicholas Sparks in years.

    From the 5-6 books I read of his in my late teens and early 20s, I remember the appeal being that they could always spark (heh) a good ugly cry in me. I have ties to the Carolinas and since he’s incapable of writing in any other setting, there’s also a bit of nostalgic charm built in to his books. I wouldn’t call his books romance, but rather simple fiction with protagonists that are sickeningly sweet and put in situations where they remain so in spite of terrible things (evil mother, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and an abusive stalkery ex – to name a few). Really it’s just emotional pornography that appealed to me when I was a bit more naive.

    If you’re curious, I’d suggest starting with “Safe Haven” – it’s one of the better ones (and closer to the romance genre) from what I remember.

  8. Sabrina says:

    @Crystal – I slogged through the first 2/3 over a couple of weeks and then feverishly read the last third at top speed. I read the second in the series, and it was much the same – lots of buildup and then a crazy ending (though I liked Three Parts Dead best).
