I've had a bit of a dry spell lately with most books in the C to B range, but this last week was spectacular - probably because two of the three books I read were from series that I love:

Banishing The Dark - Jenn Bennett - rating: A+ - final book in one of my favorite UF series (Arcadia Bell). If you like UF and romance, I would highly recommend this series. It's definitely UF but it also features a lovely romance between Cady and Lon. She's only 25 but very mature, while he's 40 and has a teenage son. The two of them actually rely each other, don't hide things, and build a strong relationship over the course of the 4 books.

Mate Claimed - Jennifer Ashley - rating: B+ - If you like Jennifer's MacKenzies series, you should check out her PNR series.

Make It Count - Megan Erickson - rating: A - an NA featuring a nerdy hero and a dyslexic heroine (best of all, it's on sale for $1.99). For anyone who read and enjoyed The Ivy Years series by Sarina Bowen, this has a similar feel.

I love the Taylor Jackson series, very suspenseful and well written.

I reported the price to Amazon, so someone should keep eyes peeled for the price to drop there.

Western Romance promotion, from old school backlist authors including Elizabeth Chadwick, Constance Bennett, Gwen Bristol, et al. Includes some which seem tilted more towards romantic historicals.

No idea how long this sale will last, but presumably good until the end of October since they put it up on their blog a couple of days ago.

Thanks! I think I will finish up the last of my collusion credit at B&N with these.

I just found out that The Dennehy Sisters series is finally available in ebook!!! What a time to be broke. I've waited years after reading the first in the series for the rest. I'll put these on my Christmas list.

Thank you! I bookmarked them for the next round of Kobo contest coupons. Now if only they were all available in a bundle!

Freebie

His Forbidden Touch (Stolen Brides #2) by Shelly Thacker (Avon 1997)
Kindle | Kobo

Spoiler:

ATDrake · 10-20-2014, 05:41 PM

Free from the author @ Kobo (may be price-matched elsewhere, but I think this is a former Smashwords freebie that is playing pricing catch-up):

Butterfly Garden by Annette Blair, a "sensual Amish historical romance". Blair is a former Penguin author and you can still get another freebie Amish novella and some of her backlist 1st-in-series titles via her Smashwords author page, if you haven't picked them up already.

Amishwoman Sara Lapp, all but shunned for studying with the English doctor to become a midwife, is shocked that, after months of waiting, her first call to tend a birth comes from self-appointed outcast Mad Adam Zuckerman. For his wife’s sake, Sara boldly tells Adam that he is killing Abby with so many babies so close, but Abby is already dead.

Adam did not call Sara to tend the birth, but to give her his children. Though Sara knows Abby’s girls belong with their father, how can she leave them with a man who seems not to care for them? As much as she loves and wants the girls, she decides that she will only take them long enough to teach Adam to love them.

As a child Adam heard the words, “I do this because I love you,” with his father’s every abuse. Adam is afraid to love his children, afraid that in doing so, he will hurt them. Without Abby to protect them, Adam must find someone else, and he can think of only one woman strong and brave enough, Spinster Sara Lapp.

ETA: also free from the author @ Kobo (may be price-matched elsewhere):

Circle 8: Caleb by "Emma Lang", a pseudonym of Beth Williamson, who is a Samhain author from whom we've received previous official publisher promo freebies. This is the 1st in a series of western historical romances (may be on the spicy side, as the author's bio-blurb mentions some kind of award for erotic romance writing).

Caleb Graham has spent the last four years in too many dangerous situations to count. As a Texas Ranger, he knows no fear, or at least he never shows it. When he’s sent to force a blacksmith off government seized property, he runs face to face into the woman who will change his life.

Aurora Foster grew up on the very land the obnoxious Ranger is trying to throw her off of. Her parents and her husband died for it and there is no chance she would leave without a fight. A lady blacksmith might be an anomaly but she has the strength of the steel she forges and the courage to fight for what she believes is right.

When Aurora is inadvertently injured by Caleb, he seeks medical help from a neighboring ranch. The sprawling hacienda is full of the finer things in life and the one person Caleb never expected to see again… his youngest brother Benjamin. Forced to flee from a man who has kept the boy captive, the trio become traveling companions in a deadly game where no one wins.

To my MobileRead Friend whoever you are,

Thank you for the book!

I had already read the first one and own in paperback. it's 5 star read by the way. I exchanged it for Book two My Heart's Desire (Rogue's Mistress) which I plan to read very soon. I have wanted to read this book forever so you have made a very crummy week better for me.

OT: Hubby started a temp job at a Factory that is an hour away last week so it's two hour commute. It's a month long project though for 13.75hr. Tomorrow he is though going in for a interview with a very well known Food delivery service. This would be a permanent job. So please keep those fingers crossed. He made it through the phone interview, personality tests and he has worked for them before. So there is a very good chance here!

I made him leave the last job before he broke his neck. They had him dangling from metal beams by his arms to put up ductwork.

If he had fallen he would have died from that high up. What were they thinking?

FizzyWater · 10-20-2014, 07:24 PM

Good luck to your hubby. I can't imagine having to take a personality test to get a job!

What Happens at Christmas by Victoria Alexander (Zebra Books)

Quote:

You are cordially invited to Christmas at Millworth Manor. . .

Camille, Lady Lydingham, requests the pleasure of your company at a festive house party, as she endeavors to coax a marriage proposal from Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky of Greater Avalonia.

The hostess's relatives will be in attendance--in this case, a troupe of actors hired to impersonate a proper English family in order to fool the Prince.

Gate-crashing, distractingly handsome first loves like Grayson Elliott are most unwelcome.

Games will be played.

Motives will be revealed.

Mayhem may ensue.

And hearts will be won--and lost--in the most romantic, magical season of all.

Please RSVP

She's grateful, too, for the friends she found once her family settled in California. But she's troubled by the mystery of her earliest memories, most of which feature a smiling blonde woman. A woman who isn't her mother. Although Cheyenne has repeatedly asked for explanations, the people who could help aren't talking. Cheyenne is set on finding answers, but without so much as a birth certificate, it won't be easy. Things get even more complicated when her closest friend is attracted to the man Cheyenne has secretly loved for years. For Eve's sake, she decides to step aside—which lands her right in the arms of Dylan Amos, oldest and baddest of the hell-raising Amos brothers. He's the kind of guy she's sworn to avoid. She can't afford to make a mistake, not when she finally has a chance to learn who she really is and change her life for the better. But…maybe there's more to Dylan than she thought. Maybe letting him go would be a bigger mistake. Book #1 was free back in March but in case you missed it, it's also on sale for $1.99. When Lightning Strikes - Kindle \| Kobo \| Google All the Pretty Girls (Taylor Jackson #1) by J.T. Ellison - $1.99 Kindle \| Kobo Spoiler: When a local girl falls prey to a sadistic serial killer, Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson and her lover, FBI profiler Dr. John Baldwin, find themselves in a joint investigation pursuing a vicious murderer. The Southern Strangler is slaughtering his way through the Southeast, leaving a gruesome memento at each crime scene--the prior victim's severed hand. Ambitious TV reporter Whitney Connolly is certain the Southern Strangler is her ticket out of Nashville; she's got a scoop that could break the case. She has no idea how close to this story she really is--or what it will cost her. As the killer spirals out of control, everyone involved must face a horrible truth--that the purest evil is born of private lies. I've read and enjoyed all 10 of this author's MIRA books, they've all scored 4 out of 5 stars. Warning: Some of them are rather gruesome.

Disgraced ex-knight Royce Saint-Michel was banished from his homeland because of an impulsive act that cost him all he held dear. Now, he has the chance to reclaim his birthright--if he agrees to protect a princess on a journey that may prove deadly to them both. Royce must escort the lovely Princess Ciara across a war-torn land to her royal wedding... and ensure that she arrives untouched. The two set off alone on a treacherous journey through snowy mountain passes, but forbidden desire soon proves even more dangerous than the assassins on their trail. With the fate of two kingdoms hanging in the balance, will Royce and Ciara do as honor and duty demand... or surrender to the longing in their hearts?
