Ditto for Pocket Mine! My only saving grace is that you run out of energy after five games and have to wait for your energy to be restored. (Or you could, of course, buy more energy. ) Of course, it also offers In App Purchases out the wazoo.

It wasn't available on Blackberry. I learned the hard way that I could not download books without that option. I'm using the new site. I'd really like to have this set, so maybe I'll give it a shot. Or go to Amazon.

FYI the Blackberry thing has proven to not be a reliable indicator. Although it does seem to indicate a book is DRM'd. Books with DRM-free ePub downloads don't usually (or at all?) have the Blackberry icon. So far the only thing I've seen be completely reliable is checking what the old site says.

I'm on one of the romance shelves now, and it's all smooshing together. I want to read a book by Lisa Kleypas .. no, wait Jo Beverley ... no, Patricia Gaffney ... maybe some Catherine Anderson ... oh, Jude Deveraux ... but here's some Mary Jo PUtney... oh, maybe Johanna Lindsey ... and what about Mary Balogh... or Laura Kinsale ... or maybe Judith Ivory. Argh! After all that, I'll probably go to bed early and fall asleep reading something fluffy instead.

I even found my copy of the notorious Stormfire by Christine Monson. Talk about Old School!

I loved that old book! Not for the faint in heart though. I have her Rangoon that I got a really good copy for super cheap someday I plan to read it. I'd love to own all her books. My copy of StormFire is soooo ratty I got it for free so can't complain. My sister said someone had just thrown it away and she rescued it for me.

I've been reading Takedown Twenty! I'm on Chapter 21. Wow so far I know it's building up to something huge but will I be able to take it or is JE just teasing me again. I can say there is such a different Ranger is this book. He seems to be even vulnerable. So far I am loving every word! It's very different then last couple of books. Almost like we got a new Ghost writer this time. I can't wait to see where it leads.

For Psy/Changeling fans, Heart of Obsidian is on sale at Amazon for $4.78. I loved this book!

The price should be dropping elsewhere from $12.99 (probably not to $4.78 since that is an Amazon sale, but it should soon be $7.99 since the paperback came out yesterday)

Also, there was a cute Psy/Changeling short story in the newsletter yesterday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating over the next days! And Blossom, Happy Birthday again, hope you're enjoying your week!

I enjoyed this book, darker [of course], and by an Aus. writer, on the cusp of being an MC story. $.99 Welcome to Sugartown by Carmen Jenner
blurb:
Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust.

Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past.

But you know what they say about wanting: you always want what you can’t have.

Nineteen year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that’s not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed, Aussie sex god just rode into town. He’s had a taste of her pie and he wants more–no really, Ana bakes pies for a living, get your mind out of the gutter.

She’d be willing to hand over everything tied up in a big red bow, there’s just one problem; Elijah has secrets dirtier than last week’s underwear. Secrets that won't just break Ana’s heart, but put her life at risk, too. When those secrets come to light, their relationship is pushed to breaking point.

Add to that a psychotic nympho best friend, an overbearing father, a cuter than humanly possible kid brother, a wanton womanizing cousin, the ex from hell, and more pies than you could poke a ... err ... stick ... at.

And you thought small towns were boring. Welcome to Sugartown.

*Content Warning. Intended for a mature 18+ audience. Contains explicit sex, oodles of profanity and a crap-tonne of AWKWARD. [and rape]

Thanks. Looking forward to the CH Admirand. Nice that all three in the series have been selections during their release months.

Kindle Deal. If you've never read this series here's a great deal. This is a 5 star for me.

Outlander (Outlander #1) by Diana Gabaldon - $2.29

Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century, and a lover in another...

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon—when she innocently touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an "outlander"—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of our Lord...1743.

Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire's destiny in soon inextricably intertwined with Clan MacKenzie and the forbidden Castle Leoch. She is catapulted without warning into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life ...and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Not really a Romance, but I know some in this thread were reading this series so thought I'd post the deal here anyway.

Allegiant by Veronica Roth is currently $3.49 at Amazon US & Google Play.

Rush (The Breathless Trilogy) by Maya Banks has dropped to $1.99 ($3.99 for Whispersync for Voice audiobook)

Gabe, Jace, and Ash: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Gabe, it’s making one particular fantasy come true with a woman who was forbidden fruit. Now she’s ripe for the picking...

When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires.

Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s fourteen years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

As Gabe pulls her into his provocative world, she realizes there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him or how exacting his demands can be. Their relationship is intense and obsessive, but as they cross the line from secret sexual odyssey to something deeper, their affair runs the risk of being exposed—and vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.
