Sarah Blake’s World War 2 New York Times bestseller, The Postmistress, is our featured discount title today and it’s one of the most thought-provoking works that I’ve encountered this year which is pretty impressive given how many titles that I’ve worked through in 2018. Iris James, the Postmistress of the title, takes care of the people of Franklin, Massachusetts and she keeps their secrets well. In fact, it may be too well. One day, she takes a letter from the delivery office, reads it and …

To Madden A Marquess (A Lords Of London Book)
Tamara Gill’s offering a free introduction to her Lords of London series this week in the form of To Madden A Marquess. Sadly, it’s the second book in the series and as you know, I’d prefer that authors donate the first, but I didn’t feel like I’d missed out on anything by starting a little way into the series and that’s a good thing. Cecilia Smith is a proper lady and the Marquess of Aaron is almost a proper Lord, except for his horrendous alcoholism. The question is can he turn it around …
Clover Park (Box Set – Books 1- 3)
It must be Christmas in a few weeks because many of our featured free authors this week aren’t giving away a book but rather boxed sets full of books, instead! That’s a great deal for hungry readers and Kylie Gilmore’s generosity knows no bounds as she’s handing out the first three books in her Clover Park series at the moment. These are sweet and slightly racy romance novels. They do follow on from each other but each one deals with a separate romance. I only read the first one, The …
The Tea Rose
Jennifer Donnelly’s The Tea Rose is a masterpiece bringing together historical events and the strength of a woman in an unforgettable quest of both triumph and survival. We begin in the East London of 1888. A dark city where thieves, ladies of the night and worse stalk the shadows. It is the city that Fiona Finnegan and her love Joe Bristow are pursuing their dreams of a better life in. Then tragedy strikes and an evil man strips Fiona of everything that she holds dear. Barely escaping her …
The Beast of Clan Kincaid
Well, this is the first romance novel that I have ever read that was set in the Scottish Highlands and features a bunch of historical clan warriors. This means that I cannot speak to the historical accuracy of the book, though the men are wearing skirts (sorry kilts) and that I do know is accurate. It’s important to note that this didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of The Beast of Clan Kincaid by Lily Blackwood. The hero is suitably hunky and interesting to gain your attention from the off …
The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal
Eve Gaddy makes our list today because she’s got a lovely Christmas-themed romance for us. However, I will warn you that this is the third book in The Gallaghers of Montana series so if you don’t like starting series mid-way through, this won’t be for you. The Doctor’s Christmas proposal is fine as a standalone novel though. This is a story of a man betrayed by the woman that he loves and he turns to his friend, Mia Watson, to seek her help with his pain. Soon, he realizes that he has feeling …
North Pole Anthology (Books 1-3)
Brrr… here’s one for the holidays. I hope that most of you don’t find things are as cold as they are at the North Pole this Christmas though our Canadian and Alaskan readers will probably come close. I hope they can find a warm fire to read the North Pole Anthology, by Noelle Fox, by. This is a nice set of cute romances for the season. Yes, it’s set at the North Pole café in Alaska and a group of volunteers there, called the Elves, are answering all the letters that kids send to Santa. …
