i'm sure it will be the same with the Canadian site, I'll have to 'travel' to the US to see the 'real' prices.

I KNEW you would love it! So happy it was worth the wait and price
If you read Frigid soon come back and tell us what you think. Depending on what you say I might just go ahead and buy it; the library did not release it today, so July 30 it is

I started it last night so I'll let you know. It's one of my weird things to start a book immediately after I finish one, I can't just
not be reading a book at any given time.
Couple of $.99 deals. Fair warning, neither of these sounds like 'sunshine and bunnies' reads!
First one was on my wishlist rated VERY highly,
Fading by E.K. Blair
blurb:Can a guilty conscience keep wounds from healing?
Fine arts major, Candace Parker, grew up with a mother who thinks image is everything, and her daughter’s perfection will never be good enough. About to graduate college and pursue her dreams of becoming a professional ballerina, Candace decides it’s time to let go and have a little fun. But fun is short-lived when a brutal attack leaves her completely shattered.
The memories that consume and torment Candace are starting to destroy her when she meets Ryan Campbell, a successful bar owner. He feels instantly connected and tries to show her that hope is worth fighting for. But is Ryan harboring his own demons? As walls slowly begin to chip away, the secrets that are held within start to become painful burdens.
At what point do secrets become lies?
(17+) This book contains mature subject matter that is not suitable for those under the age of 17.
The second one I bought right away upon release. It is very dark, gritty, but I give it a solid 4 stars. I've fallen in love with her writing and gave all of her 'Never Say Never' series 5 stars. [yes, they're all dark and very gritty too, most involve murder, attempted rape, drug use, prostitution, etc]
Anyways the book is
'Real Ugly' by C.M. Stunich
blurb: A New Adult Rock Star Romance
Mature - Ages 18 and Up. Contains sex, drugs, violence, and rock 'n' roll.
From the Amazon Bestselling Author of 'Losing Me, Finding You' and 'Keeping Never'
"These are real people with real problems. This is real life, and it's real f*cked up."
Turner Campbell is an asshole.
I f*cking hate him.
But I can't get enough either.
He sings like an angel and f*cks like a devil.
If I could, I'd run away and never look back because to tell you the truth, I think this man might be the death of me.

Naomi Knox is a bitch.
I can't f*cking stand her.
But I can't stop thinking about her either.
She looks like an angel and plays like a devil.
If I could, I'd f*ck her good and forget all about her, but to tell you the truth, I think this woman might be my last saving grace.
