\n <\/div>\n\nRECOMMENDED: After Dark with the Duke<\/em> by Julie Anne Long is $1.99! Fingers crossed this isn\u2019t a deal from the weekend. Lara gave this one a Squee grade<\/a>:<\/p>\n
This romance just hit too many of my favourite buttons for me to be objective. For me, the highest praise I can give a romance novel is that it is original, and this book is that in every possible sense. Do not hesitate over that one-click button; I can guarantee reading satisfaction. Oh, to read this book again for the first time. I swoon!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Grown Women<\/h4>\n
\n![\"Grown](\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/images\/P\/B0BSFS3T7K.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg\")
\n <\/div>\n\nGrown Women\u00a0<\/em>by Sarai Johnson is $1.99! Shana mentioned this one on a previous Whatcha Reading. She described it as \u201ca multigenerational story about mothers and their messy relationships with their daughters.\u201d This is a Kindle Daily Deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In this stunning debut novel, four generations of complex Black women contend with motherhood and daughterhood, generational trauma and the deeply ingrained tensions and wounds that divide them as they redefine happiness and healing for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n
Erudite Evelyn, her cynical daughter Charlotte, and Charlotte\u2019s optimistic daughter Corinna see the world very differently. Though they love each other deeply, it\u2019s no wonder that their personalities often clash. But their conflicts go deeper than run-of-the-mill disagreements. Here, there is deep, dark resentment for past and present hurt.<\/p>\n
When Corinna gives birth to her own daughter, Camille, the beautiful, intelligent little girl offers this trio of mothers something they all need: hope, joy, and an opportunity to reconcile. They decide to work together to raise their collective daughter with the tenderness and empathy they missed in their own relationships. Yet despite their best intentions, they cannot agree on what that means.<\/p>\n
After Camille eventually leaves her mother and grandmother in rural Tennessee for a more cosmopolitan life in Washington, DC with her great-grandmother, it\u2019s unclear whether this complex and self-contained girl will thrive or be overwhelmed by the fears and dreams of three generations she carries. As she grows into a gutsy young woman, Camille must decide for herself what happiness will look like.<\/p>\n
In masterful, elegant prose, debut novelist Sarai Johnson has created a rich and moving portrait of Black women\u2019s lives today.<\/p>\n

A Duke in Shining Armor<\/h4>\n
\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/images\/P\/B06XFCPWZP.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg\")
\n <\/div>\n\nRECOMMENDED: A Duke in Shining Armor<\/em> by Loretta Chase is 99c! Carrie absolutely loved this one and gave it an A<\/a>:<\/p>\n
I should have been able to read A Duke in Shining Armor in a day. Instead, it took me a week. And do you know why? Because I purposely kept putting it down once I realized that eventually I would RUN OUT OF BOOK. How DARE this book be over?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Not all dukes are created equal. Most are upstanding members of Society. And then there\u2019s the trio known as Their Dis-Graces.<\/em><\/p>\n
Hugh Philemon Ancaster, seventh Duke of Ripley, will never win prizes for virtue. But even he draws the line at running off with his best friend\u2019s bride. All he\u2019s trying to do is recapture the slightly inebriated Lady Olympia Hightower and return her to her intended bridegroom.<\/p>\n
For reasons that elude her, bookish, bespectacled Olympia is supposed to marry a gorgeous rake of a duke. The\u00a0ton<\/em>\u00a0is flabbergasted. Her family\u2019s ecstatic. And Olympia? She\u2019s climbing out of a window, bent on a getaway. But tall, dark, and exasperating Ripley is hot on her trail, determined to bring her back to his friend. For once, the world-famous hellion is trying to do the honorable thing.<\/p>\n
So why does Olympia have to make it so deliciously difficult for him . . . ?<\/p>\n

The Scarlet Throne<\/h4>\n
\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/images\/P\/B0CH83W1BK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg\")
\n <\/div>\n\nThe Scarlet Throne\u00a0<\/em>by Amy Leow is $2.99! This is book one in the\u00a0False Goddess\u00a0<\/em>series and it came out in September. We mentioned this in Hide Your Wallet because it has a whiff of \u201cvillainess origin story\u201d to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A dark, heart-thumping political epic fantasy\u00a0by debut author Amy Leow\u2014full of scheming demons, morally grey heroines, talking cats, and cut-throat\u00a0priests, this delicious tale\u00a0of power and corruption will captivate\u00a0from beginning to end.<\/p>\n
Binsa is a \u201cliving goddess,\u201d chosen by the gods to dispense both mercy and punishment from her place on the Scarlet Throne. But her reign hides a deadly secret. Rather than channeling the wisdom of an immortal deity, she harbors a demon.<\/p>\n
But now her priests are growing suspicious. When a new girl, Medha, is selected to take over her position, Binsa and her demon strike a deal: To magnify his power and help her wrest control from the priests, she will sacrifice human lives. She\u2019ll do anything not to end up back on the streets, forgotten and alone. But how much of her humanity is she willing to trade in her quest for power? Deals with demons are rarely so simple.<\/p>\n
