These best off 2013 lists are going to implode my tbr lists
Actually this was a project I had been planning for us after Thanksgiving before all the Christmas sales start. It was going to be top 13 you have read this year. So I'll post mine then but series do not count one series equals one book so you post all from the series you read in one line if that series made the list.

Today's Kindle US Romance Deal is Kitty and The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn, book one in the Kitty Norville series. I'd call it more Urban Fantasy than Romance, but it's fun none the less.
Quote:
Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it's Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?

Gah, thank you guys for posting your lists too. Just shuffled my TBR pile around to move your recommendations up. I see I really need to read Psy-Changeling series, and Kristen Ashley [which I'm trying but seem to be missing whole series that I need to do so, thankfully I have the Rock Chick series so I need to start it!] So many good books, so little time. Also, like apesmom said, I am very stingy with my stars. And when I looked at my list again it has quite the variety of genres [YA/NA/contemporary/paranormal/erotica]. Keep the lists coming!

I love this series! I totally agree about it being more UF than romance but the books are great reads.

Christmas romance sale...

$0.99 Sweet Inspiration (Klaus Brothers #1) by Penny Watson
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FLUPZ0

Quote:
What if the legend of Santa Claus is in fact, true? What if Santa has five big strapping sons who help him run his empire? Five single, sexy sons looking for romance...

Nicholas Klaus is a master pastry chef, a strict disciplinarian, and the eldest son of the legendary Santa Claus. One look at café owner Lucy Brewster sends him into an unexpected tailspin of lusty desires. When Lucy is injured, Nicholas makes a decision that catapults both of their lives into turmoil.

Lucy Brewster, the free-spirited proprietor of Sweet Inspiration, has a flair for concocting sugary confections but no time for adventure. She gets more than she bargained for when she awakens in the North Pole...rambunctious elves, a fitness-obsessed Santa, and the man of her dreams. Does she have what it takes to become the next Mrs. Klaus?

It is Urban Fantasy period. There is no Romance sounds like the publisher is trying a tactic or someone got their wires crossed.

I really enjoyed book one it was fun and I love the author's voice however books 2-4 did not hold up to same charm although I was glad to see the cliffhanger from one finish by book three. I just can't read the Vegas book yet I may never read it. I think I have to have a romance in series to read it or keep my interests otherwise I get bored.

I pretty much agree and loved the series. Have to wonder what some of the reviewers at Amazon read - some gush about perfect blend of romance or the tasteful sex scenes, while others comment on no romance or sex and one went off on the "repeated rape scenes".

I read a book was suppose to be Mystery/Suspense (no romance) and it turned out to be paranormal. According to the publisher (small press) readers are suppose to know what genre the book is by looking at a cover.

I gave the book one star. I was looking for a mystery/suspense not paranormal (just not my thing). Then the author emails me telling me I need to rate books on author's accomplishments and not on the actual book.

Read & finished a historical romance Saturday. Book was suppose to be set after the civil war (I think) and the author used duffel bag and casserole dish and beef noodle bake. Really don't think these are something that people would say during that time.

I am almost ready to give up on indie authors. (Sorry for any in here or reading this) But to have one tell me I need to rate a book on her accomplishments and not the book and then another one that cannot do any research before publishing. Just gives the ones who actually try to publish a good book a bad name

KyBunnies, I understand. It's always just a few that ruin it for the whole bunch!


Oh, and look what just came on sale, for $.99 each: 2 of the books I recommended!
Addicted to You and Ricochet [books 1 and 1.5 of Addicted series] by Krista & Becca Ritchie.

Blurb: New Adult Bestseller - Recommended for readers 18+ for mature content.

She's addicted to sex. He's addicted to booze...the only way out is rock bottom.

No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway's biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.

Loren Hale's best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they've pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They've mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.

But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex.

Their real vice may be each other.
