Thanks for posting link. I don't read romance and your link will save me from listing them.

That's a lot. Thanks for the link!

Even if most of the ones I didn't already have all were by Jennifer Blake... whose work I enjoy a lot less than most other writers. Can't stand her characters.

NA, $.99 books 1 & 2 of Reclaiming the Sand series by A. Meredith Walters

Spoiler:

From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Find You in the Dark and Bad Rep comes a story of forgiveness, redemption and finding love in the most unlikely of places.

*Originally written as a stand alone but the sequel, Chasing the Tide will be released on December 16, 2014***

*On sale for $.99 until the release of the sequel***

Bully and victim.
Tormenter and tormented.
Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.

And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.

Spoiler:

**The powerful continuation of the story that began in Reclaiming the Sand- a tale of love and forgiveness and learning to move on from a past that has come to define you.**

Bully and Victim

Friend and Lover

Past and Future

Ellie McCallum and Flynn Hendrick’s story was as painful as it was devastating. But they were able to find within each other an unlikely yet beautiful love. Despite the obstacles that tried to keep them apart.

And together they rose out of the ashes of their tragic history.

Now years after their life changing reunion Ellie is back in Wellston, having just graduated from college and ready to start her future with the man who taught her how to love. However, returning to a town that held so much bitterness and anger was the last place she wanted to start over.

But for Flynn, who is now an art professor at the community college and firmly rooted in the place that gave them their beginning, she’d do just about anything.

Yet it’s difficult building a life when you’ve only just learned how to live.
And love, no matter how strong, doesn’t always conquer all.

Ellie and Flynn must learn how far they are willing to go to stay together. Or whether the ghosts of the past will consume them both.

Because finding a happily ever after is harder than it seems. Particularly when you’re fighting against the one thing that could destroy you.

Yourself.

Thanks! I didn't know she had another series out. And now I have both books. It's also a nice(ish) change to see one where the heroine is the bully, instead of the hero.

Checking In:

I haven't checked in awhile where to start. Brrrr It's COLD!!! 16F here in Raleigh and for Raleigh that's super cold! Our power was out for 5 hours last night making Valentine's Day even more sucky then it already was. I sat in the cold dark reading on my tablet while hubby grumble how bored he was every few minutes. I offer to read to him but he said no. I am so relieved we haven't bought anything that could spoiled other than a pack of lunchmeat and milk. It seems okay though.

They say it may actually snow on Monday. I will believe it when I see it!

I haven't bought anything but I have been reading Deeper Than The Roses by Charlene Cross on Scribd and currently sucked into Veronica Mars: The $1000 Tan Line which is a sequel book to the movie. I burned through the whole series on Amazon Prime in two weeks and now I am on the books from OverDrive. I really hope they keep the books rolling out. I am really enjoying the first.

So did anyone here see 50 Shades for V-Day? What did you think? The clips I have seen so far have not impressed me.

Weekly Report:

I only read one book, though I did reread some others. I've been reconverting a bunch of the books from my early digital days that I either didn't do the year before last or that I wasn't happy with the section breaks, etc. Now that I know a bit more of what I'm doing (with CSS and Edit Book which we didn't have when I did my big reconvert project of doom) it's an easier process to fix them (if still somewhat time consuming).

Read:

• Obsession in Death (In Death #50) by JD Robb (B-/3 stars) I did enjoy the book, but as my favorite series I hold them to a very high standard.

Me neither, which is why I didn't bother.

I thought the girl they got to play Ana was horrible. She looked like she was about hyperventilate or pass out any time she talked in the clips I've seen. In the book she is not like that. She is outgoing, funny and says witty stuff like inner goddess. She reminded me a of a young Rory Gillmore although I know Ana was originally Bella (Kristen Stewart) from Twilight. The girl in the clips seemed none of that. That voice she uses what is up with that? Who talks like that?

[ScalyFreak]

I should probably mention that I haven't read the Fifty Shades books at all.

I read the free Kindle sample, came to the conclusion that no one had ever told this particular writer that writing a novel in first person is something that no one should ever dare to attempt unless they're actually a skilled and talented writer (which I obviously don't think this one is) and moved on to reading something that didn't make my brain cringe on sight.
