Today’s Steals and Deals at AAR…..
This one is a winner. In our review, Caz wrote: Bringing Down the Duke is an impressive début novel that’s firmly grounded in its historical setting and manages to offer some insightful social comment without bashing the reader over the head with it. The writing is intelligent and accomplished, the central characters are engaging and three-dimensional, and the romance is sensual and tender.

Love It’s a Wonderful Life? This one’s for you! Here’s the blurb:
Wishes for love bring hope from above.
Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy—three willing but sometimes wayward angels—are each given someone’s prayer to answer . . .
Shirley: She’s sent to help nine-year-old Timmy Potter, who longs for a new father. And although his mother, Jody, has vowed never to trust any man, Shirley is determined to help her love again.
Goodness: She knows Monica Fischer longs for a husband and home of her own, but the young woman has practically given up on finding the right man to stand by her side . . . until Goodness steps in to help.
Mercy: Can Mercy bring hope back into Leah Lundberg’s life? This maternity nurse desperately wants a child to fill up the home she’s made with her husband, Andrew.
But there’s just one catch: Each angel must teach her charge a memorable lesson before the prayer can be granted . . .

This too is a Best of 2024 read. In her DIK review, Kayne wrote:
In Romantic Comedy, Sally Milz is a writer for The Night Owls (TNO) a fictional version of Saturday Night Live (SNL). We get a peek behind the scenes as the cast members put together a show full of comedy sketches. This is a very funny book; I found myself laughing along as Sally and the TNO cast are working together on the sketches and as they open their hearts and take chances on love.
Sally is someone I want to be friends with. She’s in her mid-thirties, clever, divorced, a little cynical, and writes some really funny skits for the show. She sees her friend and fellow writer, Danny, an average looking guy, start to date a famous and incredibly hot actress, and he’s not the only one. There have been at least two other average guys at the show who have dated and even married famous, beautiful women (which the author said was inspired by Pete Davidson). Sally pokes fun by writing a skit that she calls “The Danny Horst Rule” where men date women out of their league but the same does not hold true for the women.
But then, much to Sally’s surprise, she feels sparks of chemistry between her and this week’s TNO host, the handsome Noah Brewster, a pop star in his late-thirties who had his first big hit when he was a teen. She senses a connection while they work on one of his sketches. He is impressed by Sally’s writing and her intelligence and she is impressed by how down to earth he is. But Sally is insecure and has a hard time believing someone like Noah could fall for someone like her. (On a side note, I had fun trying to guess who some of the characters are based on, for example, Sally reminded me of Tina Fey.)
