Yeah, a lot of those are the ones from the previous pages. There were also some Loretta Hill books which aren't tagged in metadata as romance but are according to her website and Fiction DB. Kobo is missing The Girl in Steel Capped Boots (The Girl In The Yellow Vest is book two in the series). Her full-length books are $15.98 - $26.38 at OmniLit/ARe and $10.71 + at Amazon.

Savage Secrets by Cristin Harber is on sale for 99¢

Spoiler:

Caterina Cruz has no home. No loyalties. No objection to exacting torturous revenge. Her life’s mission is to destroy the terrorist who murdered her family. Then she steps into an elaborate game of charades alongside a Titan Group operative posing as an arms dealer—and her newlywed husband. The sexy distraction may be more than she can handle.

Attacked with a psychedelic drug weeks before, Rocco Savage is plagued with hallucinations that threaten his new rank as Titan’s second-in-command. No one knows and he wants to keep it that way. Throwing him further off his game, he now has a wife with her own secrets he can’t crack and an agenda he can’t control.

Their mission—an elaborate deception of heated glances and passionate kisses—spins out of control. With Rocco’s mind already compromised, can he keep his secret and his distance? And with Caterina’s tragic past controlling her every move, can she keep the con up long enough to secure her revenge? Or will both go down in flames?

This is one of my "I have all the books but haven't read any yet" series. I had books 1-5 plus book 7. This is book 6.

Not bad a series, I would say. The new book (Hart Attack) comes out next week.

I have two main reading goals for 2014. One is to cut my print TBR pile by at least a third (aiming for more than half, but a third is probably more realistic ). And two, read at least the first book in most of the numerous series I have multiple books in but have not yet read. I have over 40 series by new-to-me authors and more than that by authors I've read before.

First, good luck with part 1 of your plan. I don't have that issue. BUT, your second goal, that is excellent and something I really should do as well as my situation is very similar. Great idea!

Product Description

Science Fiction Romance from RITA nominated author!

Celie Cameron has spent her most of her life as a smuggler, skirting the law. She’s given that up for more legal delivery runs, but she misses the adrenaline rush of danger. When a routine delivery goes haywire, throwing her into the company of a handsome pilot—an android, or so she thinks—Celie finds herself embroiled in galaxy-spanning intrigue and deception.

The android, Rurick, is a miracle creation. Because of past experiences, Celie has avoided relationships with men. But she finds herself attracted to Rurick, feeling safe to indulge in flirtation with a pseudo man. As they join forces to challenge an insidious threat to the populations of the Verante quadrant, the attraction between them grows.

But then Celie learns Rurick is actually a human—a royal prince—masquerading as an android, and all bets are off. He doesn’t agree, and ensures Celie is forced to work closely with him. They battle wits from a glittering royal palace to a shipwreck on a barren planet. Facing possible death, she can no longer deny her feelings—or the man. Together, they fight to bring light to a darkness every bit as depraved as the expanse of space known as . . . Shadow Crossing.

The Duchess War by Courtney Milan

Miss Minerva Lane is a quiet, bespectacled wallflower, and she wants to keep it that way. After all, the last time she was the center of attention, it ended badly—so badly that she changed her name to escape her scandalous past. Wallflowers may not be the prettiest of blooms, but at least they don’t get trampled. So when a handsome duke comes to town, the last thing she wants is his attention.

But that is precisely what she gets.

Because Robert Blaisdell, the Duke of Clermont, is not fooled. When Minnie figures out what he’s up to, he realizes there is more to her than her spectacles and her quiet ways. And he’s determined to lay her every secret bare before she can discover his. But this time, one shy miss may prove to be more than his match…

Looks like they're at ARe for the sale price. HarperCollins titles count toward the 10-for-1 coupon.

I really liked this book. It's Victorian, not Regency, and for those of you who are sticklers for historical accuracy, I have no idea on that....

That was me. I love Sharon. I read her journal entries on Facebook everyday. She's an amazing woman. I've never read a Sharon Sala book I didn't like. I have all those books too and good thing or I'd be blue because I have no money. These are amazing prices though.
