Free and bargain romance ebooks + Discussion October 2013

[Blossom]

I just spent two hours going through my likes on Facebook and readding them to the news feed. This is the only way to get Interests lists working again! Facebook you suck!

The news feed no longer exists for me. I refused to use it now. I added the real people I know to the close friends list. I will use that instead.

So now I can once again keep up with the authors, publishers and deals and freebies on my interests lists it taken me a few years to perfect.

Soooo if you are missing some pages from your interests list now you know why.

Determined to buy back her ancestral home, Wynter turns to the only man who can lend the vast sum needed. But the collateral the arrogant Captain Cort Van Linden demands is ... her!

Now, this Inside Out Trilogy Series. From some research, does this sound like correct reading order to you [since you've read them]?
Lisa Renee Jones – Inside Out Series
1 If I Were You
1.1 Rebecca’s Lost Journals: The Seduction
1.2 Rebecca’s Lost Journals: The Contract
1.3 Rebecca’s Lost Journals: His Submissive
1.4 Rebecca’s Lost Journals: My Master
2 Being Me
2.1 The Master Undone
3 Revealing Us

I saw too that this is now going to be a TV series. I wonder if she'll release all the books in an omnibus then? Just wondering if I should hold off, since, gee, it's not like I don't have any other series to finish, read, start, continue. LOL

Yes that's it. She is currently casting for it but it's going to be on Starz of all channels. So I don't think many will get to see it.
There's another novella coming in February.

I don't know if there will be a bundle. I guess that's up to the publisher's

In the mean time you could go read her Walker Security series which two of the heroes make an cameo in this series. All those books were freebies so you should have them.

I don't know yet. However I am eying it myself.

FYI, everyone R. Lee Smith's books are now on BN.

I feel like I am on a roll, I found another free book: Violet Among The Roses by Janet Miller

Three thousand years ago Narcissus was too self-absorbed to love anyone but himself. Trapped in a statue in a public park, he never expected this to change...but then a little girl named Violet stared into his face and called him "Nick". Now a grown woman whose boyfriend dumped her after she lost her job, Violet is in serious need of a friend—and lover—and Nick wants to be both to her.

The goddess Aphrodite has made him human for two nights and a day. Will that be long enough for Nick to learn the true meaning of love, so he can earn his freedom and a place by Violet's side?

I know that is is a first book in a series but I just love books with mythological characters.

Here are a couple of Amazon freebies that might be good:

Sapphire Universe This doesn't look like a Sci-Fi despite it's title.

For the Love of Gracie I can't quite figure out what's going on with this book given the blurb, but there is an HEA, no cliffhanger, and it gets 4+ stars on Goodreads. EDITED TO ADD - oops this isn't free anymore, so one-clickers beware!

Meant To Be This isn't rated as highly as the above two, and for those who have trouble with breaking the law this probably isn't for you. But it is an MC book, FWIW.

Strangers Looks like lots of angst, but pretty highly rated, also.

Well, since they're free, what can we lose??

Back when I was reading a lot of indie authors Janet Miller/Cricket Starr was one of my favorites. Thanks for the link!

I'm pretty sure Gena Showalter had a book with a similar theme - it might have been a series too. If you haven't already read it, ping me and I'll find the title. I remember it was one of the first books of hers that I read (back when things were mostly in print )

Loving a Fairy Godmother by Danielle Monsch

Tiernan is one of a kind. Beyond the divine dimples, killer blue eyes, and hard muscled body, Tiernan is also the only Fairy Godfather. Most of the Fairy Godmothers have no problem with keeping Tiernan around, but Reina isn’t like most Fairy Godmothers.

Amongst Fairy Godmothers, Reina is the best. Organized, efficient, logical. So why is it when Tiernan is around, all those qualities fly out the window? Reina doesn’t like that one infuriating male makes her lose control, and just wants him gone. Circumstances arise that just might let her get her wish, though not in a way she ever wanted.

Tiernan is given an assignment and told either get a Happily Ever After for a woman named Cinderella or he will no longer be a Fairy Godfather. Reina is going with him to supervise, but if Tiernan gets his way, he’ll get her to admit Happily Ever Afters can also happen to Fairy Godmothers.

Everblue by Brenda Pandos this book is free and it also a part of whipersync with the audible version for 1.99

Dive into Everblue, Book #1 in Mer Tales, winner of Best I've Read in 2011

She wanted her life to change ... he wanted his to stay the same.

Seventeen-year-old Ashlyn Lanski is tired of her boring, single life. Swimming and spending time with Tatiana, her best friend, are her only sanctuary. The girls plan to leave their drab lakeside town far behind for college, and Ash hopes to finally ditch her longtime crush for Finley, Tatiana's twin brother. But when Tatiana and her family fail to return home after a family emergency, Ashlyn chooses to do something drastic to find them.

Finley Helton and his family are good at blending in as they run their sailing charter business in Lake Tahoe. But together, they guard an ancient secret. When a not so routine meeting forces Finley, Tatiana and their mother to return to Natatoria and Fin's father on a dangerous mission, Fin can't stay caged up for long.

Secrets lurk beneath the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, and a simple lifesaving kiss could change their lives forever.

Is this a real expected thing... any guesses on if it will happen before current Kobo codes expire? I have some codes burning a hole in my pocket, but only for books $4 or less...
