I've just noticed that several of the Daisy Gumm Majesty 3-book box sets are $0.99/£0.72 in the US/UK right now. As I mentioned down below, this is very much a cozy/fun historical series, set in between-the-wars Pasadena, California, but usually does have just a little grit to make you think a bit. If you haven't tried the series, but think you'd like to, now would be a good time.
Here are links to searches just for the "boxed sets", whatever that means in e-books
The links are a little messy and I'm swamped and don't have time to clean them up, but they do work - there just are a few strays too.

Note that the box set of books 10-12 doesn't seem to be on sale at Kindle, at least as of now, but is on sale at Kobo. So there are five box sets on sale at Kobo (which is most of the series), and only four at Kindle.

And right now, if you want to give the series a try, there is an omnibus of the first three books on sale at Kindle US for $0.99. It includes: Strong Spirits, Fine Spirits, and High Spirits.
