First Look

Information Card

The September theme is ‘Sweets’ which is befitting for a book subscription box whose covers involve eye candy.

Send Me Swooning September 2017

Here are the items in the September Send Me Swooning Box. I’m happy to see a fall-related item in the box.

The Real Thing by Melissa Foster

The September romance novel is Sugar Lake Book 1: The Real Thing by Melissa Foster ($12.95 MSRP, $8.90 Amazon). After I had a long immature moment over the sign’s double entendre, I read up on the author. Melissa Foster is a New York Times and USA Today Best Seller and award winner author.

Bakery owner Willow Dalton’s friendship with Zane Walker has always been a bit complicated. Now a scrumptiously hot A-list actor, Zane’s always had a reputation as a player. He’s arrogant, and he’s definitely not boyfriend material. Sure, he did Willow a favor by agreeing to take her virginity before college, but is that reason enough for her to go along with a fake engagement a decade later—even if it comes with a real diamond ring?

Zane should have known better. Nothing involving Willow has ever been easy. Still, he knows her better than anyone, and becoming America’s hottest new leading man means cleaning up his reputation. An “engagement” to curvy, sass-mouthed Willow is the perfect PR move…provided no one gets hurt.

Now Zane and Willow’s little white lie has turned into an irresistible recipe for sweet temptation. And soon no one will be able to tell the difference between their fake engagement and the real thing—

The humorous book has lots of sizzle! I liked that we received book 1 of a new series. Each of Willow’s siblings will have their story told.

Dandi Creations Flirt Bubble Scoop

I prefer reading romance novels while taking a relaxing bath. The aptly named Flirt Bubble Scoop by Dandi Creations (2 oz, $3.50) evokes a hint of the outdoors. The Made in the USA bubble scoop has warm base notes of vanilla, Tonka bean, and exotic woods. It also has flower petals and glitter in it.

McSteven’s Spiced Apple Cider Mix

Or I can curl up under a blanket and enjoy a cup of McSteven’s Spiced Apple Cider (8 oz, $6.95) while reading my sassy novels. The Made in the USA drink mix has natural and artificial flavors.

NAIGAI Socks

Send Me Swooning is excited to be one of the first companies to feature NAIGAI socks. NAIGAI, established in 1920,  was the first professional sock company in Japan. The beautiful Made in Japan Navy Blue NAIGAI Sheer Stripe High Crew Socks ($15.70) adds a little flirty fun to my wardrobe.

The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

We received a bonus book this month! This book is a book that you can’t judge by the cover. Amazon describes Girl Meets Duke Book 1: The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare ($7.99 MSRP, $6.79 on Amazon) as

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do.

His terms are simple:

– They will be husband and wife by night only.

– No lights, no kissing. 

– No questions about his battle scars.

– Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.

But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:

– They will have dinner together every evening.

– With conversation.

– And unlimited teasing.

– Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love

The cat deserves a spot on the cover! The book has all the elements that make a historical romance novel swoon-worthy.

The September box was sizzling this month! I loved that Send Me Swooning sent three quality items and two books this month. It’s a great box for romantic book lovers.
