When We Chased the Light
When We Chased The Light by Emily Bleeker is $2.49! We had a guest review of this one by Lisa that ran over the summer. She gave it a B grade, where she notes that while a solid piece of fiction, it’s actually a continuation of a character introduced in a separate book. To me, this is so bizarre of the publisher, because there’s no mention that it’s part of a connected series on Goodreads or on retail sites.
A Hollywood legend. A legacy of secrets. An epic and emotional novel about forgiveness, fame, family, and truly unconditional love by the bestselling author of When We Were Enemies.
Christie’s auction house, Beverly Hills. The effects of Hollywood icon Vivian Snow are up for bid. In the collection is a set of hand-drawn postcards spanning six decades. The sender is Antonio Trombello, a soldier, POW, priest, and Vivian’s confidant. Each postcard sheds new light on a deeply private woman the public only thinks it knows.
It’s World War II. Vivian is a USO showgirl traveling the world when her husband goes AWOL, disappears, and is presumed dead. Facing increasing suspicion, she leans on her dear friend Father Trombello for support. He’s her confessor, her savior, the elusive love of her life, and when it comes to her husband’s death, the keeper of Vivian’s secrets.
As Vivian rises from canteen dream girl to starlet to bona fide legend, she navigates the highs and lows of Hollywood, new romances, and tumultuous family relationships—all in the shadow of her past and the guilt, unmet longing, and buried truths that could still upend the lives of everyone she loves.

The Golden Age of Magic
The Golden Age of Magic by Luanne G. Smith is $2.49 at Amazon! This is book one in a series that blends 1920 Hollywood, magic, and mystery. I’m super curious about a secret sisterhood of fairy godmothers.
Against the backdrop of 1920s Hollywood, a young fairy godmother on a mission is embroiled in malicious magic, mystery, and murder in a thrilling historical fantasy by the bestselling author of The Vine Witch.
Celeste is about to become one of the thirteen Fées Gardiennes, a centuries-old sisterhood of fairy godmothers. To be granted full status, she must usher her first protégé onto their path of destiny. Where better to find a starry-eyed ward than in the land of magic and illusion called Hollywood?
It’s 1927. The moviemaking business is booming when Celeste befriends a young studio seamstress whose dreams outshine everyone else’s. Rose is talented and underappreciated and could use some enchanted intervention in her life. Plans proceed swimmingly, and Celeste even catches the eye of a handsome producer. But after a series of unexplained accidents on the studio lot stir up rumors of a curse, Celeste fears the trouble is more personal―the spiteful meddling of a fellow Gardienne out to thwart Celeste’s success.
But the sabotage turns sinister when a starlet is murdered and it’s Rose who stands accused. As vengeance, dark magic, and betrayal wreak havoc, Celeste must come into her full power to save her innocent protégé and secure her own future in a cherished, ancient, and now threatened sisterhood.

Bourbon Harmony
Bourbon Harmony by Walker Rose is $2.99 at Amazon! This is the fourth book in the small town Boubon Canyon series. We’ve featured other books in the series on sale, in case you were hoping to collect them all.
When my car breaks down miles from my cabin, I’m rescued by none other than Rhys Kinkade, the man who broke my heart years ago, and his two adorable little girls.
Fifteen years ago, I was eighteen and Nashville bound. Rhys ditched our plans to leave Bourbon Canyon together. I thought he’d follow; he knew he wouldn’t. Now, I’m one album shy of headlining my own world tour and the words have dried up. Too much betrayal. Not enough fresh mountain air. So I came home.
After Rhys plucks me off the side of the road in the middle of a thunderstorm, he takes me to his house. The now divorced single dad isn’t the boy I once loved. He’s grumpy, for one. He stress-bakes the best muffins. And he shuttles me to the cabin as soon as the weather clears.
Rhys finally relents about letting me teach his kids how to play guitar, and I end up spending more time at his house. Which leads to a kiss in his shop. Which fires up my muse and the words pour out. One more kiss and I’m four songs deep into my new album.
With Rhys as inspiration, I can live my dream. But when it’s time to go, that’ll be the end of us. He’s not leaving his home, and he’s convinced I’m better off without him. If I can’t figure why he’s set on being alone, I’m going to return to the stage by myself. The biggest love of my life will be nothing but a bourbon harmony.
Fans of Devney Perry, Elsie Silver, Melanie Harlow, and Laura Pavlov will love Bourbon Promises.

You Between the Lines
You Between the Lines by Katie Naymon is $2.99! This is a standalone contemporary romances with former crushes, poetry, and rivals to lovers. However, people seemed really mixed on the heroine and her actions.
“A brilliant, poignant love story perfect for fans of Emily Henry. With vibrant characters, You Between the Lines is a master class in the art of the romance novel.”
—Peyton Corinne, author of Unsteady
A former sorority girl starts a prestigious poetry MFA program only to discover that one of her classmates is her high school crush-turned-nemesis—and he can’t stop writing about her.
No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop. Leigh’s insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientation. And now, he’s William, exactly the kind of writer Leigh hates, complete with his pretentious sweater vests and tattered Moleskine. Leigh’s determined to prove herself—and William—wrong by landing the program’s highly-coveted fellowship. But Will’s dead-set on proving himself too, and in a small cohort, they can’t keep apart for long.
When Will submits an intimate poem (that’s maybe, probably, definitely about Leigh) to workshop, they’re both forced to realize there’s more to the other than what’s on the page. And what’s between the lines may be even more interesting.
