IIRC, someone long ago said that Sala was one of their favourite authors, so if they're still here on MR and have access to a US account, enjoy!

For the most part these have been perma discounted since Jan 2013.

Harlequin MIRA deal - I really liked this series

Stray (WereCats #1) by Rachel Vincent - $1.99
Kindle | Kobo (couponable) | Google

I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.

Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.

I'd been warned about Strays--werecats without a Pride--constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.

This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back...for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever--and whoever--I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays--'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them....

Random House deal - Another awesome series but be warned, most of the books are very cliffhangery

Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning - $1.99
Kindle | Google

MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks…until something extraordinary happens.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone–Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed–a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae….

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane–an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book–because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands….

New Adult: $.99 Custom Culture Box Set - Tess Oliver

Contains all 4 full length new adult romance novels from the Custom Culture Series.
#1 FREEFALL
#2 CLUTCH
#3 DRAY
#4 RETT

FREEFALL:
After leaving high school, with a hard won diploma and the title of most likely to break hearts, Alexander "Nix" Pierce has left his wild, out of control years mostly behind him. A small inheritance from his grandfather has given him the funds to open up his tattoo shop, Freefall, and he has started to pull his life together. Aside from trying to keep his best friend, Dray, from killing himself in the fight ring, and his slight obsession with a pin-up model he's never met, Nix's life is going smoothly . . . until Scotlyn James, the object of his obsession, walks into his shop.

Ever since a tragic accident killed her family and left her alone in the world, Scotlyn James hasn't spoken one word. Up until now she didn't care that she had no way of talking to people. Her awful aunt would never have listened, and Lincoln Hammond the arrogant, selfish man who pulled her from the streets of Los Angeles wouldn't hear her words if she could speak. But when Lincoln insists she get a tattoo to cover up a scar on her side, Scotlyn meets the artist, Nix Pierce. And now she longs for her voice. Now she has found someone who will hear her.

Check your local Overdrive library/libraries; mine had the entire series and I ended up binge reading the series. Very alpha female shapeshifter.

I'd also add you have to look at this in one of two ways:

• it's an urban fantasy, with romantic elements
• it's a 5-book romance novel

I didn't care for this series at all - and I'll never know if it was because I went into it expecting Moning's typical romance novel style... ADDED: Okay, I know I hated the cliff-hangers. Would have always. So after book 2, I waited until all 5 were released. I still didn't like the series at the end of it, but YMMV as always.

To me it's the best series written I have read but there are some very disturbing elements in it that it might need trigger warnings. I agree it's a 5 book novel. I didn't see it as romance at all. It was very urban fantasy with some small romance elements. It's very gritty and mentions sex alot but romance nope. Jericho is not a romance kind of guy. It's a survive it's the end of the world type series at best. If you expect romance from reading this series you are going to be very disappointed.

To me it's Urban Fantasy at its best.

One of the best romantic comedy series and probably my favorite. It's on my top favorites shelf. All 3 books tie in together perfectly and it ends how a series should. All books were 5 stars for me.

OMG. Did you cry at the end of the series? I still want to cry, just remembering it. Broke my heart!
