About Last Night is my favorite of hers, and one of my top 10 reads last year. It's got everything I love in a romance - angst mixed with great humor, and really hot bedroom scenes that are not gratuitous. Ruthie writes atypical heroes and heroines that actually have real flaws and she isn't afraid to write darker than the usual romance.

oooh, that sounds RIGHT up my alley. I'm going to move the one I just bought up on my TBR list, and if I get a good kobo coupon maybe just jump the gun and buy that one too. Thanks!

No Foolin' by Lisa Scott
(Willowdale Romance Novel)
Bell Bridge Books 2012

Welcome to Willowdale, North Carolina, a small town where the folks are friendly, the romances are as sweet as the tea, and the biddies at the diner gobble up gossip like it’s peach cobbler. This may be their biggest scoop ever.

When sexy Hollywood bad-boy Teague “T-Rex” Reynolds comes to this quiet Southern town, he needs a fake girlfriend to hide the secret that brought him there. School nurse Kate Riley takes the job, but she won’t fall for a movie star, no ma’am. That’s fine with Teague. He hung a closed sign on his heart years ago.
Convincing the press they’re in love is one thing. Fooling each other they’re not is getting harder each day. Despite scandal, heartache, and misunderstandings galore, they might just find the sweet thrill of true love. Book one of The Willowdale Romances.

I grabbed this one even though my book budget is low till Payday. It's like $8 regular price and I just know I will regret it later if I don't get it this cheap.

Escapade by Kasey Michaels
(Regency Romance)
Originally published by Warner 1999

Original Blurb:

The Viscount
For Simon Roxbury, the altogether self-satisfied Viscount Brocton, getting abducted at pistol point on the streets of London is disconcerting. But it is little compared to his discovery that his highwayman is no man at all, but a lithe, husky-voiced, green-eyed young woman.

The Vixen
Caledonia Johnston is tearing through London on her own mad, dangerous crusade to take her revenge on the dissolute nobleman who ruined her brother at cards. The victim of mistaken identity, Simon is amused by Callie's scheme and can't resist urging her to forsake her pistol for a much more dangerous weapon: her beauty. Soon he's teaching the untamed Callie the sensuous art of seduction...and she's learning all to well. Their litle escapade is spinning out of control, threatening not only a scoundrel, but the desires of both Callie's and Simon's hearts.

Are you a Kasey Michaels fan like I am? I am doing a happy dance here. I have a very ratty copy of this book. I was planning to read it soon and now I can pitch it and read the ebook! This is the second time this week a book I thought I have to read in paperback has show up in ebook form! No wonder I am near broke.

Oh I use one of those 20% off coupon at Kobo to get it for $0.79 cents.

I've enjoyed all the Ruthie Knox books I've read. Ride With Me is the first book of hers I read and I loved it. Big Boy, a novella of hers I recently read, is another good one.

(Btw, the publisher for About Last Night is Random House; I don't think the coupons work on their books.)

Yesterday I bought another NA book, Deeper We Fall; it's $0.99 at Amazon and same price (and couponable) at Kobo.

Yep, you're correct on About Last Night, Random House = no coupon. I actually just finished a book so will be starting Along Came Trouble right away.

Re: Deeper We Fall by Chelsea Cameron, I bought it the other day too! I just recently finished 'My Favorite Mistake' [and enjoyed] so I snapped that up without even a preview.

I'll agree, this book was a nice surprise. The cover and description made me think it would be an enjoyable (but forgettable) fluffy contemporary. But there was more depth to it than I expected.

I saw those. I'm don't really read short stories unless they are part of a series I am reading. Still it's a good way to sample her writing I suppose.

When Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Pepper Yates, a potential link to his best friend's unsolved murder, he vows to gain her cooperation by any means necessary. But the elusive beauty is more suspicious—and in far more danger—than he expected. And the last thing Logan needs is to start caring for her….

Pepper has spent years dodging the corrupt club owner who will stop at nothing to keep her silenced. She can trust no one, not even the handsome new "construction worker" who's moved in next door. The heat between them is undeniable. But will surrendering to passion bring her the safety she so desires—or will her feelings for Logan draw them both into a killer's crosshairs?

Free today: This Time Next Door by Gretchen Galway.

I stumbled across this book awhile ago because I totally have a weakness for geeky heroes. According to the description, it was previously published under the title "The Geek Who Loved Me". Apparently it is part of a series, but it sounds like they are only loosely connected, so I'm going to ignore my OCD and read it without reading the first book.

Run Wild by Shelly Thacker
(Escape with a Scoundrel)
Historical Romance (Georgian)
Formally published as Hearts Run Wild by Avon in 1996

PASSION RUNS DEEP
An impossible situation drives Samantha Delafield to commit a desperate act and forces the orphaned beauty to flee her world of privilege. But her fate takes a shocking turn when she is arrested for petty thievery and shackled to a dangerous criminal.

HEARTS RUN WILD
Nicholas Brogan is a man tormented by his past as England's most notorious pirate. Now a blackmailer's threats have drawn him out of seclusion--and into the hands of the British magistrates. Manacles bind him to a beautiful young hellion who enflames Nicholas with passions he has struggled to suppress--tempting him to care, to want, to feel. And now Nicholas and Samantha must escape together, for their destinies are linked by chains far stronger than the iron that holds them captive . . . and only love can set their imprisoned hearts free.

I've been waiting for her to release this one. It's only 99 cents for a limited time so grab it. It has the same Trope as Fortune's Mistress I just read. Two convicts escaping together, so I am so looking forward to this one!
