For those of you looking for a hero not in the usual mode, check out

Unsuitable by Ainslie Paton for $0.99

Spoiler:

Ainslie Paton is an Aussie author who writes for Harlequin's Australian Escape line and also self-pubs. I adored this book. The hero, Reece spent his teenage years raising his 4 much younger sisters, then went wild for a few years, and now just wants to be a nanny, but is having a hard time getting jobs because of reverse discrimination.

This is fantastic news! Scribd is even more worthwhile now!

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Sorceress by Saskia Walker, an f/m fantasy erotic romance novel originally out from Total-E-Bound in 2010. Walker is also a Mills & Boon author from whom we've gotten an official publisher promo freebie back when they were still running the now-defunct Everyone's Reading site.

Their love affair is forbidden, dangerous, and unstoppable.

The Empress Elishiba has vowed to protect her people, even if it means marrying an enemy. But when the mysterious man known as Amshazar arrives as a spokesman for her future husband, her passion is ignited. Amshazar is an attractive and powerful man who is rumored to be a sorcerer, and he is allied to her enemy. Consorting with him would be disastrous. Why then does she let him arouse her and distract her from her goal?

Amshazar is a gifted magi and an envoy of the gods. Lusting after the Empress Elishiba wasn't part of his plan, and yet he cannot resist. Their connection is vital, their desire undeniable—but their forbidden affair soon captures them in a web of danger, a web where magic and romance weave their own vibrant and inexorable threads. As the enemy seeks to destroy Elishiba and all she stands for, Amshazar must fulfill his duty and empower her as a powerful Sorceress, whatever the cost.

Free from the author @ Kobo & iTunes (both available to Canadians), Amazon (not available to Canadians), and possibly price-matched elsewhere:

A Killing Tide by P. J. Alderman, 1st in their Columbia River series of f/m contemporary romantic suspense thrillers, this installment involving firefighters and originally out from Dorchester's Love Spell imprint in 2006.

Kaz Jorgensen is used to fear--the anxiety of negotiating treacherous currents as she captains her family's fishing trawlers, the terrifying nightmares of the day she almost lost her life on the river. But now a man is dead, an arsonist has set the Anna Marie ablaze, and her brother is missing.

Michael Chapman knows how to take the heat--as the new fire chief of Astoria, Oregon, he's dealt with more than his share. No way can he afford to get involved with the sister of a suspect. But the scorching attraction between him and Kaz burns out of control, and when someone takes a shot at her, his protective instincts kick in. Whatever happens, he can't allow another woman to die because of him.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

The Trouble with Lucy by Carol Marinelli, which actually looks a lot more like a chick-lit revenge comedy or at least the setup to a torrid f/f love affair than a possible f/m contemporary romance. Anyway, Marinelli is a long-time Harlequin/Mills & Boon author from whom we've gotten a bunch of official publisher promo freebies in the past, so I figure some of you might be fans who might be interested in her women's fiction novel, if that's what it turns out to be.

Twelve years ago Lucy stole Gloria’s husband.

When he dies, in the most embarrassing of circumstances, the ex-wife and the widow are forced to face not just the other but also their demons. His death somehow frees Gloria and her life finally starts to come together, just as Lucy’s falls apart.

As Lucy’s life spectacularly unravels it is in full view of her nemesis. Gloria is the only one who could possibly understand what Lucy is going through—she was married to the cheating, sex-addicted bastard after all. What goes around comes around and surely Lucy deserves every moment of her come-uppance? She feels no sympathy or pity for Lucy.

At first…

I picked this up last year (January 2013) as an Amazon freebie under the title "What Goes Around," listed as same author. I've just tried to find it but it's not there (Amazon) anymore.
Here's the Goodreads link.

Anyway, I just came to say this novel is strictly chick-lit. There's no F/F love affair. There's no HEA. I enjoyed reading this book (What Goes Around), but it's definitely not a true "romance" novel.

Britomart · 11-08-2014, 12:22 PM

Free from Amazon US DE (repeat freebie):

Here Comes the Bride by Rita Herron (Harlequin and Love Spell author).

Quote:

Kimberly Turner vowed never to let her twin sister Marci get her in trouble again...but when Marci offers her a deal to play phony fiancée to a friend in need, she can’t resist the money. After all, it’s going to help underprivileged children. And it’s just a weekend...what will it hurt?
Except the handsome architect Austin McDane is nothing like the men Marci usually tangles with. And when Kimberly meets his family and the charade snowballs out of control, she can’t help but wish the engagement – and impromptu wedding she gets roped into – were for real!

I randomly grabbed two Sarah Morgan titles from Overdrive the other day, finished the first one (Worth the Risk, Nov 2000) and just started the second one (Suddenly Last Summer June 2014). In each book the H is a doctor named Sean. This is seriously messing with my head!

Lol. That's very confusing indeed. Did the author run out of names and professions for her H? Or maybe she's building up some sort of cycle for her characters?

Not sure. Different specialities (and different last names) but I keep thinking Sean #2 is cheating on the girl in the first book!

Well, there are SO many first names she can choose from.

My luck I managed to randomly pick two books with the same name! There's enough exotic sort of names out there you'd never run out!

Makes me wonder how many authors do randomly re-use character names?

Audrey broke the glass ceiling. Reece swapped a blue collar for a pink collar job. She's a single mum by design. He's a nanny by choice. She gets passed over for promotion. He struggles to find a job. She takes a chance on him. He's worth more than he knows. There's an imbalance of power. There's an age difference. There's a child whose favourite word is no.
