Promises (Coda Series) by Marie Sexton

Quote:

Jared Thomas has lived his whole life in the small mountain town of Coda, Colorado. He can't imagine living anywhere else. Unfortunately, the only other gay man in town is twice his age and used to be his teacher, so Jared is resigned to spending his life alone.

Until Matt Richards walks into his life, that is. Matt has just been hired by the Coda Police Department, and he and Jared immediately become friends. Matt claims he is straight, but for Jared, having a sexy friend like Matt is way too tempting. Facing Matt’s affair with a local woman, his disapproving family, and harassment from Matt’s co-workers, Jared fears they'll never find a way to be together—if he can even convince Matt to try.

Shades of Honor (Grayson Brothers) by Wendy Lindstrom

Quote:

The one woman he cannot have is the only woman he wants.

Everything Radford Grayson wanted was in his hometown: his beloved mother and brothers, and the unscarred part of himself he'd left behind. After surviving a gruesome war, all Radford wants is to work the family sawmill and make a real home for his young daughter. But Evelyn--his brother's fiancée--reaches into his darkness with her healing love and makes him feel whole again for the first time in years. Torn between his unexpected and forbidden love for Evelyn and a desperate need to honor and protect his brother, Radford discovers that his fiercest enemy is his own heart. The one woman he cannot have is the only woman he wants.

Ooh, if this is the book I'm thinking of, I've been watching this one. (AllRomance must be set up as "pornography/adult" in my office's filters - I can't get it to open, and it's not a standard 404 error message).

Kindle Romance Daily Deal $2.99

Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas
Series: Travis 01
Publisher: St. Martin's Press (April 1, 2010)
Audio version is $3.49 when you purchase Kindle version.

Quote:

Lisa Kleypas has enthralled millions of readers with her powerfully seductive novels. Now she delivers a story featuring her most unforgettable characters yet....

SHE'S FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
Liberty Jones has dreams and determination that will take her far away from Welcome, Texas---if she can keep her wild heart from ruling her mind. Hardy Cates sees Liberty as completely off-limits. His own ambitions are bigger than Welcome, and Liberty Jones is a complication he doesn't need. But something magical and potent draws them to each other, in a dangerous attraction that is stronger than both of them.

HE'S THE ONE MAN SHE CAN'T HAVE
When Hardy leaves town to pursue his plans, Liberty finds herself alone with a young sister to raise. Soon Liberty finds herself under the spell of a billionaire tycoon---a Sugar Daddy, one might say. But the relationship goes deeper than people think, and Liberty begins to discover secrets about her own family's past.

WILL THEY FIND THEIR HEARTS' DESIRES OR WILL HEARTBREAK TEAR THEM APART?
Two men. One woman. A choice that can make her or break her. A woman you'll root for every step of the way. A love story you'll never forget.

I hope you catch this before it goes off sale. I paid $8 for this book and it's on my TBR list of this year. Someone here said it was more Women's Lit than Romance but I have heard nothing but praise about this book.

I had a 3 hour nap and doing much better. Hubby went back to work today so ladies and gents do a happy dance with me!

Glad your husband was deemed well enough to return to work and you'll get your routine back.

I think I am one of the few romance readers who really disliked Sugar Daddy.

I went ahead and got Sugar Daddy. I've been wanting to read it for a long time and its not available on ebook at my libraries. Many peeps on goodreads seem to like it, many like a lot of the same stuff I do. We'll see.

I am keeping away from the bargains this week. I bought 2 books at full price, one at 7.99 + tax and the other at 8.89 + tax. I really don't like to pay this much, but its a new release and I must read it, so what can I do.

So I am not snapping up any bargains to make up for that.
Well, besides Sugar Daddy that is.

Ah yes it was you. I haven't read anything by her yet but I am slowly collecting them all. I let you know when I do read if I like her or not.

Yes hubby back to work means naps!

Although it was tough this morning neighbor locked her dog in the bathroom and he was trying to dig his way out which shook the apartment and sound like someone constantly banging on the walls. Hubby didn't get any sleep and he woke me up and was being a jerk to me. I think the first time in our 14 years together I loudly called him a very bad name to his face then slammed the bedroom door.

It's amazing how when you are interrupted from a 45 minutes of sleep how viscous you can be as the barriers that keep you from acting like a lunatic are not in place. I laugh about it now as I don't know who that woman was this morning. It sure wasn't me. She's so scary the cats wouldn't come near her.

Amazing! Totally sob through most of it. Such a beautiful lady!
Gave me a new respect for what goes into writing a book and inspired me to be able to talk more boldly about my love for romance books.

For romantic suspense fans, Gingerbread Man by Maggie Shayne (previously published by Jove) is free.

This was posted in the mystery/suspense thread but I thought it fit here as well.

Quote:

Since the day her baby sister was taken, Holly’s mind hasn’t been the same. PTSD, panic attacks, nightmares and blocked memories have plagued her ever since. And now they’ve returned.

Hard-edged Detective Vince O’Malley’s most recent case penetrated even his protective shell. Ordered to take time off to recover, he can’t let go, and on his own, follows the clues to Holly’s small upstate NY town.

His presence stirs ghosts from the past, shadows of a little girl lost, the suspicions of some tight-lipped locals with secrets to hide, and more than that inside Holly’s fragile mind and untouched heart.

YAY, been waiting for this one, have hovered over 'buy now' button for awhile, glad I waited! Very highly rated at Goodreads etc.

$.99 Raising Ryann - Alyssa Rae Taylor
blurb:New Adult Novel--Raising Ryann (Book 1 in the Bad Boy Reformed Series)

Twenty-year-old Reese Johnson can finally leave her troublesome past behind. She enters college with her best friend, Gia, and spends her time doing what she loves—working as a self-defense instructor at a local gym. Then Luke Ryann enters the picture. He’s the tall, dark, and tattooed MMA fighter her boss hires to privately train her. One minute, he captivates her with his piercing brown eyes and boyish dimples. The next, he infuriates her with his relentless banter and cocky bad boy behavior. He’s the last thing she wants or needs, and she never expects to fall in love with him.

Luke’s jaded past has him keeping a safe distance. Despite what he feels, some things are better left alone. He has a dangerous secret—one that has the potential to risk their lives. As he fights the attraction between them, can he resist the growing tension and protect the woman he’ll never be able to have?

Raising Ryann, the first book in the Bad Boy Reformed series, isn't just a story about first love. It's filled with action, suspense, mystery, and a touch of humor.

Recommended for mature audiences due to situations of abuse, violence, strong language and sexual content.
