The Haunting of Maddy Clare? It sounds intriguing.There is a Audible version but I wonder if it's too much of a thriller.

No. I don't think I've read any of the books that actually won, though I have several of them in my TBR pile.

I have the one that won the Historical category already on my Kindle.
I bought when I was looking for a antihero story. I haven't read any of the books that won either.

Is there only one category for historical romance now at the RITA? That makes me sad. My favorite romance sub genre.

I enjoyed Tessa Bailey's Officer Off Limits, but it is not part of the sale. Neither are the two by Rebecca Zanetti (Against the Wall and Under the Covers) which are on my wish list. I guess I will have to wait for the Entangled Brazen sale

I usually read series in order as well, but heard book two was bad and really had no interest in book one. FWIW, I've only read book three and it read fine as a stand-alone.

Awesome! Officer of Limits is on sale today for $0.99!

Edit: Trouble ahead - there a currently 8 Brazens on sale for $0.99

That one's on my Tier 1 list - I'm just waiting for the next Kobo contest.

ENABLER!!!

I'm not going to link them because I know most of us will go look at all of them in the list anyways!

ACK, I recommend these because I've already read them [3.5-4 stars IMO]:
One Night With a Hero - Laura Kaye
Seducing Cinderella - Gina Maxwell
Tempting the Best Man - J. Lynn

and I bought 4 more from that list...

BTW, you rockstar fans, I bought and read this [4stars IMO]. It's on sale for $.99 I recommend it, BUT be warned it's more about the band as a whole, and a LOT about music [which I love and interests me], so you may want to preview. Also, it's pretty steamy at times, [ménage] but the main story is getting to know about each member of the band, setting up a separate novel for each down the road, from what I gather.

I concur, 3.5-4 for the Laura Kaye and J. Lynn. The other Brazen I've finished is the 2nd Laura Kaye, also 3.5-4 but not on sale.

Does anyone else think that the last few "Big Deal" sales haven't been much of a Big Deal? Surprisingly, B&Ns last few sales have been more impressive.

apesmom · 07-21-2013, 01:15 PM

It would have been a really good week for me if not for the Entangled sales.

- 10 Indulgence titles @ $0.99
- Grant, Rachel - Concrete Evidence - $0.69 - wish list hit

- Bailey, Tessa - Officer Off Limits - $0.99 - wish list hit

- the only other 2 Brazen sale titles that I didn't already own @ $0.99

14 books for $13.56. I am such a sucker for the bulk sales.

On mine also, and waiting for the next Kobo contest as well (or a higher than 30% off code, whichever comes first

).

My list:

A Vengeful Affair by Carmen Falcone ($0.99)
Frigid by J Lynn ($0.99)
Game for Marriage by Karen Erickson ($0.99)
One Night With a Hero by Laura Kaye ($0.99)
Second Chances by Rita Oberlies ($0.99)
Seducing Cinderella by Gina L Maxwell ($0.99)

10 books = $10.90

Only Frigid was on my wishlist. Also, if not for the Entangled sales, I would've bought only two books this past week

I have Seducing Cinderella already on my Kindle. I paid full price for it. I also own the Laura Kaye one.

I am determine to find a book by this publisher that is good. I figured I would tried each line before giving up. I say Covet line is just bleh. I've read three from it. Historical line I've only read one. So I have to give it another go. So my next try is the Brazen line.

Let's just say Entangled has a really long way to go before they can even began to compete with Harlequin which is what they are trying to do.
