No review, as it is a preorder. I wasn't sure about this series. Apparently, they lean toward fairy tales. However, the next one is How To Tame A Beastly Lord. I was actually intrigued by that one. Oh, well, you decide.

I have previously known Summer Hanford's JAFF writing collaboration with Renata McMann. In fact I'm reading 'A Foiled Elopement' right now, I did know she wrote other genres. She is currently conducting a giveaway chance on her website, and this time she is in collaboration with Tarah Scott with a Scottish theme. To enter go to: https://summerhanford.com/?ks_giveawa...
Freebie: book 2 in the Women of Worth series: a clean and wholesome Regency Romance: Love for the Spinster

Didn't mean to get ahead of you, Teresa. It's good to know you are there in case I miss something. We make a great team here.
$0.99 on a 3-book box-set from the Untouchables series by Darcy Burke. I hadn't started this series but someone might like this deal. Blurb: "The first three books in The Untouchables Series featuring three "untouchable" bachelor nobles in London Society and the intrepid wallflowers who bring them to their knees... "
I couldn't find a GR link to the box-set. GR does list the individual books in the Untouchables Series. I'll just use the Amazon link. Sorry, for those outside the US, please check your provider.

I read the first review by OLT [which was amazing] and decided to try it.
We have a new series from Erica Ridley: Gothic Love Stories: 4 books on pre-order each at $0.99. With no reviews, I have no idea if they are any good. The blurb on each book sounds extremely Gothic in nature. If that is your flavor... these might be for you. Note: some of these may have been previously published with a different cover. Look carefully and don't buy something you already have.
Too Wicked to Kiss
Too Sinful to Deny
Too Tempting to Resist
Too Wanton to Wed
There are some reviews on GR J W. They're very mixed. Not too sure myself. I might try the first one.
