Smexy Deals- Deals for books by Susanna Kearsley, Jillian Meadows, Jenn McKinlay, and more!

June 30, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

“A tempest of treachery and romance.” —Entertainment Weekly

“I’ve loved every one of Susanna’s books! She has bedrock research and a butterfly’s delicate touch with characters—sure recipe for historical fiction that sucks you in and won’t let go!”—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander

New York Times, USA Today and international bestselling author Susanna Kearsley explores romance, court alliances, and the limits of one’s duty in this rich story of an honorable man in service to a treacherous king, and the mission that brings him to love and his true calling.

It is the year 1613, and King James is sending his messenger Andrew Logan into Scotland with secret orders to arrest Sir David Moray, close friend and advisor of the late Prince Henry. Secrets are second nature to Andrew, who must hide his Second Sight to stay alive. Joined by a court scrivener and the scrivener’s spirited daughter Phoebe, Andrew slowly untangles the true purpose of his mission—to frame Sir David for Prince Henry’s murder. But Andrew is unwilling to betray an innocent man.

Phoebe Westaway dislikes Andrew, and their history makes it hard for her to trust him. But as their journey draws them deeper into the dark web of court intrigue, Phoebe begins to suspect that she might have more need of the King’s Messenger and his unusual gifts than she could ever have foreseen.

More praise for Susanna Kearsley:

“I loved the story. Couldn’t put it down. It was thoroughly researched and told with brilliantly compelling authenticity.” —Barbara Erskine for The King’s Messenger

“Susanna Kearsley just keeps getting better and better!” —Lauren Willig

The King’s Messenger by Susanna Kearsley – $2.24 for a limited time.

Amazon

* INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER *

For fans of Piranesi and The Midnight Library, a STUNNING HISTORICAL FANTASY set on a grand express train, about a group of passengers on a dangerous journey across a MAGICAL LANDSCAPE

“BREATHTAKING…Abounding with mysteries and marvels.” —Samantha Shannon, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author of The Priory of the Orange Tree


It is said there is a price that every passenger must pay. A price beyond the cost of a ticket.

There is only one way to travel across the Wastelands: on the Trans-Siberian Express, a train as famous for its luxury as for its danger. The train is never short of passengers, eager to catch sight of Wastelands creatures more miraculous and terrifying than anything they could imagine. But on the train’s last journey, something went horribly wrong, though no one seems to remember what exactly happened. Not even Zhang Weiwei, who has spent her life onboard and thought she knew all of the train’s secrets.

Now, the train is about to embark again, with a new set of passengers. Among them are Marya Petrovna, a grieving woman with a borrowed name; Henry Grey, a disgraced naturalist looking for redemption; and Elena, a beguiling stowaway with a powerful connection to the Wastelands itself. Weiwei knows she should report Elena, but she can’t help but be drawn to her. As the girls begin a forbidden friendship, there are warning signs that the rules of the Wastelands are changing and the train might once again be imperiled. Can the passengers trust each other, as the wildness outside threatens to consume them all?

The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands: A Novel by Sarah Brooks- $2.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

“FANS OF ALI HAZELWOOD WILL CHEER.” —Grace Reilly, USA Today bestselling author

“THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT LOVE STORY OF MY DREAMS.” —B. K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author

A swoony, steamy, STEM romance in which two curators at a science museum—a handsome but grumpy astronomer and an anxious but sunshine-y entomologist—realize they are the perfect match. Now with exclusive bonus content!

Millie has never taken the expected path. Her childhood love for bugs and science led her to entomology, and her role as a curator, inspiring museum visitors every day. It’s her dream to run her own department—so when a rare director position opens, she is determined nothing will distract her from her goal. Especially not Finn, her grumpy coworker with his permanent scowl, electric blue eyes, and endless supply of astronomy ties.

. . . Not that she’s spent time noticing any of those things.

Finn doesn’t mean to glare at everyone, but he’s juggling his role at the museum, navigating the grief of losing his sister, attempting to make his nieces smile, and trying not to ruin dinner for the fifth night in a row. He can’t afford to let anything slip, and certainly doesn’t need more to deal with—especially not Millie literally stumbling into him, with her bright smile and sunny optimism.

He bugs her. She’s too starry-eyed for him. They want nothing to do with each other. But with Finn on the interview committee, avoidance is impossible. And Millie soon realizes it’s one thing when a job is on the line. It’s quite another when it’s her heart.

Give Me Butterflies is a sweet and sexy STEM romance, featuring:

  • Grumpy x Sunshine
  • Heroine in STEM
  • Slow burn
  • Open door spice
  • Found family
  • Nerdy banter

Give Me Butterflies: A Spicy STEM Romance with Nerdy Banter and Fiery Tension (Oaks Sisters Book 1) by Jillian Meadows- $1.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

“Crazy entertaining, first rate storytelling—made me laugh and touched my heart, too.” —Suzanne Brockmann, New York Times bestselling author, for Curves for Days

For readers of Lucy Score and Sarah Adams comes a charming small town romance between a hard working heroine with a sexy alter-ego and the new cinnamon roll math teacher looking to spice up his vanilla life.

Everyone may know your name, but do they know the real you?

Andi Salazar’s hard work at the local women’s shelter makes a big difference in her small town, but at the end of a long day, Andi can’t wait to blow off some steam as her sexy, voluptuous bombshell singer persona. Andi burns down the stage with her fiery spirit, catching the eyes of Galway High’s popular new math teacher, Kevin Mahoney.

After his ex dubbed him as too “vanilla”, Kevin’s on a mission to find the real version of himself. One look at Andi and he nearly bursts into flame. After colliding in the hallway, their chemistry leads to a hot, sweet hookup that leaves him wanting more. But when their work brings them together again, Andi and Kevin can’t stay apart for long. Kevin is the first man Andi feels like she can trust, and conversation with Andi makes Kevin truly enjoy opening up to her.

Although friendship may be safer, romance could be everything and more, especially when an unexpected variable changes their lives in the best way possible.

Hard to Get (Big Love from Galway Book 3) by Laura Moher – $1.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

Julia Blumer is called home to Gull’s Harbor, California, a hilly seaside community just north of San Diego, by her two sisters, Sophie and Emily, when it is clear that their domineering mother Babs Blumer is critically ill. Julia catches the first plane out of New York City, hoping to mend the rift between her and Babs that has existed since Julia left home after the fight to end all fights ten years ago. Much to her chagrin, Babs is not happy to see her and it’s not the reunion she hoped for.

Julia moves back into her old bedroom, the one that overlooks the neighbor’s house. While unpacking her few possessions and setting up a place to work at her the desk, she is shocked to see her old boyfriend, literally the boy next door, Liam Murphy in his old bedroom. She hides, hitting the floor and creeping back up to the windowsill to watch him as he works out in his room. The years have been good to Liam, very good, and Julia is alarmed by the attraction she still feels for the buff surfer boy, whose heart she smashed to bits when she ran away a decade ago.

I Can’t Even by Jenn McKinlay- $2.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

The last person Rose Parker expects at her father’s will reading is Gray Roberts—her father’s protege and the hottest, most infuriating flower farmer she’s ever met.

Even worse: Her father’s will stipulates they have to close his estate together. What a disaster.

But when Rose and her sisters are hit with their father’s huge back tax bill, they re-launch their dad’s flower shop to sell it for a profit. The only thing they need?

Someone who knows flowers.

Unfortunately, Rose knows a guy. An irritating, motorcycle-riding, tattooed flower farming guy who stars in her sexiest dreams.

The 2 week trip back to her hometown turns into a tension-filled tug-of-war. She’s a to-do list queen, he wings it. She insists on doing things herself, and he prefers to kiss her while she scowls at him.

Can these enemies launch a flower shop without falling into bed together? Or will the temptation of a no-strings, get-our-frustration-out fling be too tempting before Rose leaves her hometown for good?

This dual POV romcom will have you plotting your escape to a small town near you! WARNING: You’ll blush at the explicit, spicy scenes and sob at the sweet found family in Fairwick Falls. Read with emotional caution!
