Today’s Steals and Deals at AAR…..
We’ve given this three DIKs! In my review, I wrote:
I would be remiss if I didn’t praise Mr. Hall’s prose. As rendered through Ash’s narration, Mr. Hall writes beautifully, movingly, and with wry humor. Ash’s describes his suicide attempt where he slashed his arms as, “old lunacy…. I thought there were lost words trapped in my skin and I was releasing them back into the world. Like a flock of phoenix.” His university years were “A blur of gold and green, the scent of old books, the slide of a stranger’s body against mine.” The night sky “was a bruised swirl of blue and indigo, the air sharp-edged with salt.” Mr. Halls’s words are unrushed, his sentences given the space to unfurl and steal a reader’s heart. In short, it rocks.
Glitterland held my attention from the first scene to the last. It gets a slightly awed A- from me.

Melinda from Audiogals gave this an A+! She wrote: Of course, Andersen writes bacon-sizzling hot love scenes too, which doesn’t hurt. I enjoyed the hell out of this book when I first read it – 5 stars and a keeper for sure.

Many of our readers adore Carla Kelly. We gave this one a B+. Our reviewer wrote: At times reviewing books is like a little kid eating vegetables. You avoid a book as long as possible and then read it in unpalatable hunks just trying to finish, choking and grimacing all the while. Following that same analogy, Carla Kelly’s latest Marriage of Mercy is the dessert, sweet and fulfilling and ending much too soon.

This historical romance got a B+ from us. Our reviewer wrote:
Elizabeth Boyle’s newest release, No Marriage of Convenience, is a fun adventure that grabbed my attention with the prologue and kept it throughout the book. Fans of historical romps and strong heroines will want to check this one out.
