The Winged Game<\/em><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Winged Game\u00a0<\/em>by Sophie Kim is $1.99! I have no clue how long this deal will last, so grab this ASAP. This came out over the summer and I loved this fantasy take on a sports romance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fantasy meets sports romance in this sizzling slow-burn novel in which the disgraced star of a brutal magical sport must team up with the rival who destroyed her career, from the #1\u00a0Sunday Times\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0The God and the Gumiho.<\/p>\n

\u201cFourth Wing-meets-rugby is something I didn\u2019t know I needed in my life, but now I\u2019m obsessed.\u00a0The Winged Game\u00a0is going to be the next big thing for sure!\u201d\u2014Ruby Dixon,\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author<\/p>\n

Carriwitchet, the violent, rugby-esque game played atop winged beasts, was once Taissa Cho\u2019s whole life, and she was once the United Kingdom\u2019s most promising player. Until her nemesis, rival player Kion Locke, destroyed her career in a single moment. Expelled from the sport in disgrace, Taissa has spent the last two years dreaming of nothing but revenge and relishing watching Kion\u2019s team plummet to the bottom of the league.<\/p>\n

So when Taissa is offered the chance to redeem herself\u00a0and\u00a0her career, she can\u2019t refuse\u2014even if the offer is coming from the very man who ruined everything in the first place. It\u2019s close to a dream come true . . . except for that pesky clause in her contract that demands she and Kion enter a fake relationship in order to garner some much-needed positive PR for the team. This could not be a worse match. Taissa and Kion only have two things in their love of the game, and their undying hatred for each other.<\/p>\n

Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the entire league\u2014putting both the beasts\u2019 lives and the very sport itself at stake\u2014the athletes find themselves partnering up in other ways, determined to crack the case of the eerie sickness. As their investigation takes them on a whirlwind adventure, Kion and Taissa are prepared for anything . . .<\/p>\n

Anything, that is, but their fake-for-the-cameras relationship to maybe, just\u00a0maybe, become something real after all.<\/p>\n

Nora Goes Off Script<\/em><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nora Goes Off Script<\/em> by Annabel Monaghan is $1.99! Shana gave this one a C+<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Nora Goes Off Script made me laugh out loud, and offered a soothing fantasy about discovering your humdrum life is someone else\u2019s perfection. It felt more like women\u2019s fiction than romance, and I found myself wishing for more flavor in the love story, and in Nora\u2019s meatloaf.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe perfect escape.\u201d \u2014 USA Today<\/p>\n

\u201cReaders who loved Emily Henry\u2019s Book Lovers are sure to savor Nora Goes Off Script .\u201d \u2014 Shelf Awareness<\/p>\n

Named one of the Best Beach Reads of Summer 2022 by The Washington Post \u2022 USA Today \u2022 Cosmopolitan \u2022 Southern Living \u2022 Country Living \u2022 Business Insider \u2022 Buzzfeed \u2022 Book Riot \u2022 The Augusta Chronicle<\/p>\n

Nora\u2019s life is about to get a rewrite\u2026<\/p>\n

Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it\u2019s her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage\u2019s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it\u2019s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne\u2019er do well husband Nora\u2019s life will never be the same.<\/p>\n

The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He\u2019ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it\u2019s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven it\u2019s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.<\/p>\n

Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story\u2014the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.<\/p>\n
