Today marks the start of a month-long celebration of romance novels sponsored by Bobbi Dumas, who reviews for Kirkus and NPR. She’s gathered together a stellar collection of romance writers like Kristan Higgins and Katharine Ashe to share their thoughts on the romance genre, why readers love it, and why it’s important. In fact, Kristan and Katharine kick things off today with two short and very engaging essays on heroes and on how romance novels can spark revelations in the reader. You really should check them out! Katharine and Kristan are both hosting contests too, so be sure to enter.

Speaking of great romances to read, Katharine’s new book, I Adored A Lord, is out this week. She’s one of my favorite historical romance novelists, and her books are always at the top of my TBR list. AND her book is currently on sale in digital for only $3.79, which is pretty darn amazing. You’ll definitely want to check it out!
Happy reading!

There are some great books out today, including this one by contemporary romance author Debbie Mason. Christmas in July is the second in her series set in the picturesque mountain town of Christmas, Colorado. Debbie writes wonderful books that are funny, romantic, and heart-wrenching all at the same time. This story is about a soldier returning home from the battlefield, and I assure you that you’ll shed more than a few tears!
What’s really cool is that Christmas in July is currently on sale for only $1.99 in digital. You can download it from Amazon, B & N, and from the Apple Store. Trust me – it’s a total bargain at that price! And, of course, it’s available in print from most retailers.
Another book I’m excited about is Lady Windermere’s Fan, by Miranda Neville. Miranda writes fantastic, smart, sexy historical romance, and I just know I’m going to love this book. It’s definitely at the top of my TBR pile.
And isn’t that a fantastic cover?! Check out Miranda’s website for details and buy links.
Finally, if you’re looking for something REALLY steamy, try out award-winning author Sharon Page’s new historical erotic romance, Deeply in You. Sharon’s books just burn up the page and she always has the most interesting Regency settings, too.
Another beautiful cover! You can find out all the details on Sharon’s website.
Happy reading!
