Free/Bargain Romances in June 2013

[library addict]

I need my favorite authors to get busy releasing their backlist titles in digital. I realized today my "Want in Digital List" now has over 75% of the books labeled as "not yet released"

Between paying full price for my favorites and all the sales we've had in the past few years, I am running out of books to buy I mean I can ALWAYS find a book to use a good Kobo coupon on , but I'm talking about the books I really want and know I will eventually read (or reread as the case may be). With so many good sales lately I kind of wish I hadn't paid full price for so many books earlier on or used so many "just 10%" Kobo codes. But I don't really mind as I love books.

Wow, total of 4 on my wishlist today that came down to $.99, I'm so happy! Now if Kobo would have added Tangled I would have been ecstatic...

Anyways, Flat-Out Matt by Jessica Park just came down to $.99. This is the "sequel" to Flat-Out Love. [I guess after reading description it's not really a sequel but a "companion" to Flat-Out Love]

Two of Kat Martin's backlist Midnight Rider & Innocence Undone were released in digital this week. I've been waiting for Midnight Rider. The price isn't bad either for a Agency book.

Well there is no slush pile today just very little slush. The places I get my freebies from showed 30 new books in all categories in the last 24 hours. So either something is broken or Amazon has taken a early holiday.

By choice or by force, everyone eventually walks out of Rae Stevens' life. Usually, she beats them to the punch. Now she is determined to save the father she barely knows, even if it means calling on the one man she can't forget.

Wealthy, powerful, and sinfully gorgeous Daegen Tan has it all. Except the one thing he truly wants: Rae, the woman who ended their passionate affair three years ago. He is determined to have her back in his bed. This time, he'll take pleasure in seducing her--and then he'll be the one to leave. Except his heart has other ideas.

Can Rae stay long enough to give him a chance? And will Daegen be able to convince her that he isn't going anywhere?

With a title under his belt, a purse in the bank, and a ring in his pocket, Marshall Dekes returned for the woman he loved...only to find her at the altar saying "I do" to another man.

For the Love of Ireland [Kindle Edition]
Judy Leslie (Author)

http://www.amazon.com/For-Love-Irela..._154606011_f_4

Margaret Sullivan dines with politicians, rebels, and spies. She is an admired journalist with the Chicago Tribune publishing under a male nom de plume.
Her unscrupulous husband is a prominent attorney and power broker with aspirations of his own. They are well-connected members of Chicago’s 1880's Irish elite.

On her trip to Ireland to do research for a book she is writing, Margaret meets a charming one-armed Irish rebel named Michael and finds herself attracted to him and his ideas for liberating Ireland.

While traveling through the stone-walled back roads of the island, Margaret sees for herself how the poor are treated. She breaks her vow never to get involved, and soon questions if she can ever go back to her old superficial life in Chicago again. Overcome with her new found emotions and strong desire to help, Margaret finds herself easily convinced by Mrs. Delia Parnell that women can be just as crucial in the fight for Ireland’s independence as men.

Back home in Chicago Margaret publishes articles hoping to gain support in America for Michael’s cause. That is until he is arrested. Desperate, she turns to her jealous, devious husband for help...but he has a hidden agenda of his own.

Torn between her career as a journalist and compassion for those overseas, she finds herself trapped by her own aspirations. Soon things spin out of control both at home and abroad, and Margaret has to decide how much she is willing sacrifice for Micheal and her love for Ireland.

For The Love of Ireland is a historical novel of love and loyalty, deception and honesty. It is about women fighting against traditional roles and gender discrimination during the 1880s. For The Love of Ireland is a work of fiction woven around actual events of the Irish Land League, a Chicago couple and the covert activities of the Clan na Gael.

When I first heard back they asked what I'd like and I requested they fix the book. Just got an email stating they would try to do so, but since they couldn't guanrantee it would be fixed soon they are issuing me a credit.

Even though it can still take a few days to hear back, I am finding Kobo's customer service of late to be much improved than from a few years ago and again from when Rakuten first took over.

This one has mixed reviews but I'm intrigued by the premise so I took a chance, and I've had it on my wishlist so...Private Message by Daniella Torella
blurb:
---Adult themes and situations MATURE CONTENT---

Tess has never had sex. Believe it or not, she’s never had a decent kiss.

The aspiring Seattle painter and photographer is still recovering from the trauma of being beaten and nearly raped at a rock show nearly three years before. So she keeps life simple: she goes to school, goes to work in a coffee shop, goes home, goes on living.

But then Ben’s naked body crashes—almost literally—through Tess’s wall against the world.

Ben is doing his dad’s art-teacher girlfriend a favor when he agrees to pose nude for her drawing class. But what he draws is the interest of the irresistible punk-looking girl—and it’s interest he reciprocates, with interest.

Their sexual chemistry is too much to resist. But it’s when they have their clothes on that their heat quickly slips on ice. Ben’s womanizing history is one thing, but it’s history of another kind—related to that fateful night at the rock show—that threatens to tear the young lovers apart forever.

Deal #2 has very good ratings, Ruining Me by Nicole Reed
blurb: Eighteen year old Jay Stevenson is living a horrible nightmare.

Two years ago, she had the world in the palm of her hand, but in one moment, it was ruined. Secrets, lies, and the worst imaginable betrayal haunt her new reality. Burying her problems under a cold façade seems to be the only way to cope until it all catches up with her. Soon, she loses control of the lonely world she built around her, and the past, present, and future collide.

Three guys are there when it all comes crashing down: JT, the perfect boyfriend she never wanted to give up; Rhye, the local bad boy “rock star” who made her forget the past; and Kane, the funny and sweet tattooed bartender who wants her future.

Secrets must be kept. Choices must be made. Is it possible to move forward while still chained to the wicked vices of the past?

Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual situations, violence, and language.
