That Thing Called Love by Susan Andersen

He's the last man on earth she should want...

For a guy she's fantasized about throttling, Jake Bradshaw sure is easy on the eyes. In fact, he seriously tempts inn manager Jenny Salazar to put her hands to better use. Except this is the guy who left Razor Bay -- and his young son, Austin, whom Jenny adores like her own -- to become a globe-trotting photojournalist. He can't just waltz back and claim Austin now.

Jake was little more than a kid himself when he became a dad. Sure, he'd dreamed of escaping the resort town, but he'd also truly believed that Austin was better off with his grandparents. Now he wants -- no, needs -- to make up for his mistake. He intends to stay in Razor Bay only until he can convince Austin to return with him to New York. Trouble is, with sexy, protective, utterly irresistible Jenny in his life, and his bed, he may never want to leave….

still free/repeat, Photographs and Phantoms by Cindy Spencer Pape

Brighton, 1855

As a member of the Order of the Round Table, Kendall Lake is overqualified to be investigating strange phenomena at a seaside photography studio. But since the photographer is related to the Order's most powerful sorcerer, Kendall reluctantly boards a dirigible to Brighton.

Amy Deland is haunted by a shadow that appears in some of her recent portraits. In each case, the subject died within days of the sitting. Does she have her grandmother's gift of foresight, or has she somehow caused the deaths?

As Kendall and Amy search for answers, their investigation draws them together in a most improper way--but it seems the evil presence in the studio is determined to keep them apart...

Forbidden Fantasies by Jodie Griffin
Free with coupon code: FDFR913

After fifteen years of marriage, Jessica Meyers's sex life is, well, a little predictable. Her handsome husband turns her on, but missionary style once or twice a week? It just can't compare to the hot new world she discovers in the pages of erotic romances. Her fantasies fuel the fire of her desire, adding a new spark to her and Alex's lovemaking. But Jess is afraid to tell her husband what she really wants in bed--and her secrets start coming between them.

State trooper Alex Meyers is a master at uncovering the truth--except when it comes to his sweet, shy wife. She's clearly keeping something from him. An affair? She wants out? When he finally confronts Jess, he's shocked to learn she wants to turn her forbidden fantasies into nightly realities. But when he takes her to a unique B and B--Bondage and Breakfast--catering to couples and multiples, Alex is about to find out just how far he'll go.

Bonds of Trust by Lynda Aicher
Free with coupon code: BONFR913

After ending her passionless marriage, Cali Reynolds is eager to live out her forbidden fantasies. Her first step is attending new members' night at The Den, the most exclusive sex club in town. Perhaps here she can find a man who understands her desire to be dominated...

At first, Jake McCallister thinks Cali has come to his club for the wrong reasons. But when he discovers she is seeking fulfillment after years of denial, he's intrigued--and takes it upon himself to initiate her into the pleasures she's been missing.

Her first encounter with Jake is everything Cali has always craved, and more; she's not prepared for the feelings he inspires in her. And Jake is just as surprised by his overwhelming attraction to Cali. As their play intensifies, so does their bond. Now, Jake doesn't want anyone but Cali--but is he ready to officially claim her? And will she submit to being his forever?

I've lost track of this conversation. Which book are you guys talking about again?

I'm going to try to join in on the "this week's buys" conversation, but I don't always keep track of the price. And one or two of these might actually have been before last week. Am I correct that we're not listing the freebies we grab, right?

• The Arrangement/Mary Balogh (1.99)
• When She Was Wicked/Anne Barton (1.99)
• The Iron Wyrm Affair/Lilith Saintcrow (1.99)
• Rules for a Lady/Jade Lee (1.50)
• Ritual Magic/Eileen Wilks (4.55)
• Night Pleasures/Sherrilyn Kenyon (1.99) - this was the only Kenyon from Fictionwise that didn't convert when B&N converted my Fictionwise collection. I don't read the series any more, but some of the earliest ones are still favorites.
• Primal Bonds/JD Tyler (4.39)
• One Wrong Move/Shannon McKenna (0.99)

Kill Me Twice by Roxanne St Clare. It's book one of the Bulletcatchers series. The hero is Latino and it was written before this must be a completely alpha pyscho hero trend started.

[FizzyWater]

Ah, have that one from the old Fictionwise days. It's still on my TBR pile. I got out of the habit of reading much romantic suspense, but I figure the cycle will come around eventually and I'll start it up again.

[Terisa de morgan]

Well, this are my purchases in all genres this two last weeks, thanks to the coupon fairie. They are not in calibre, but white books work quite well for this

I'm reading a series by Lisa Renee Jones where a girl finds a erotic diary in a storage unit and has to find out what happened to the woman so she goes and starts to trace the steps of the girl from the journal becoming entangled in a mystery that takes several books to solve. I've never read a series like this. It's so unique. I put it on on light erotic side mixed with suspense. Not exactly a thriller but not your typical romantic suspense story plot either.
