The Kindle monthly deals have not catered to my personal taste so far in November. I’ve only bought one book so far, Laurie Gilmore’s Wild Wicked Mate, and coincidentally, I’m talking about another of her books in this post.
The Gingerbread Bakery by Laurie Gilmore
The Dream Harbor books go on sale fairly often, I myself have bought each one for only 99p each. This one has gone into the monthly deals at the perfect time – this is a great read for the festive season.
While it isn’t my favourite of the series, it’s still a great read. If you love a small town romance with a bit of spice, this series is perfect for you. Also, don’t worry that this is technically book five, you can read the Dream Harbor series in any order. You’ll just get a little spoiled about which couples end up together.

Synopsis: As owner of her beloved Gingerbread Bakery, Annie Andrews should have a love life to match her business; sugary and sweet. But instead, she’s locked in a game of words with the irritatingly upbeat bar owner down the street.
Mac Sullivan has everything he wants, except the girl he dreams of. It’s easier to argue with Annie than get her to talk to him but with Jeanie and Logan’s wedding coming up, they’re about to spend a lot more time together.
As the snowflakes fall and with romance in the air, will Annie see that the one she loves to hate might just be her perfect match after all?
The Gingerbread Bakery is a cozy romantic novel with an enemies to lovers dynamic, small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
I’ve talked about every book in this series so far in these posts, but the first one and it’s finally gone into the monthly Kindle deals for 99p. Which is an absolute steal. This book is incredible. Stephanie Garber is one of the best world builders, in my opinion, and Once Upon a Broken Heart is probably my favourite book of hers. I haven’t read A Curse for True Love yet, but I do finally own a physical copy as I was gifted it for my birthday last month.
Not only is this a beautifully written book, but it also has the odd illustration every now and again; newspaper clippings, invitations etc. I love when books have mixed media in them, it makes the world feel so much more alive.

Synopsis: For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings… until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.
Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.
But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game ― and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy.
She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott & Alyson Derrick
This is one of my favourite romance books of all time and I’ve just used this deal to buy the Kindle version myself (I have a physical copy). The fact that this is written by wives makes it even better. I spent a lot of time reading wondering whether any of the interactions were inspired by real life.
It’s also refreshing to read a queer romance where being queer is a plot point. At no point were Alex or Molly either questioned about their sexuality or abused/bullied because of it. This book does deal with some fairly serious topics, but it is also very funny and very sweet.

Synopsis: Alex Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand…not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she’s in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just…hasn’t actually talked to her yet.
Alex and Molly don’t belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly’s hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she’s not a selfish flirt. That she’s ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can’t deny Alex knows what she’s doing with girls, unlike her.
As the two embark on their five-step plans to get their girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe they’re the ones falling…for each other.
