Start A New Series This Easter Long Weekend

The best long weekend of the year is shortly upon us …

Usually, these rare four days off in a row are celebrated with family, friends and (some might say best of all) chocolate! Luckily the chocolate remains, but otherwise we have the perfect storm of social distancing and (aside from kids, partners and housework) almost 100 empty hours ahead of us. But take heart, we have your back with ten fabulous romances that are all under $2.99. Even better? Every single one of these books is the first in a series, so you can put off that feeling of loss when you are forced to farewell a new favourite character and ride out that warm fuzzy feeling all the way to Tuesday.
