RITA noms are up on the RWA site (list should be complete at 2pm Central time).
I haven't read many of the contemp books nominated. Nice to see Julie Miller, Merline Lovelace, Jill Shlavis, and others get nominated. There are lots of books I personally would have liked to see that aren't on the list, but that's the same every year ![]() Looks to be a good mix of traditional, digital-first, and self-pubbed. And at least 3 m/m books got nominated as well. So the new rules/procedures seem to have worked. Last edited by library addict; 03-26-2015 at 02:33 PM. |

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: (linkage for the lot)
First Love & Four Kisses by Bonnie Dee, 2 standalone f/m romance novellas, one a 1950s Amish/outsider historical originally under the title "Amish Paradise" in the anthology Seasons of Love, the other a contemporary high school reunion romance, in her Love Nibbles grouping of novellas. Dee is a Samhain and Carina Press author. Summer 1956. Rachael and Joe are from different worlds though they live on neighboring farms. She is Amish and her people live a plain life apart from the community. When she is harassed in town one day, Joe steps in to help her. A conversation makes them realize they share the same desire to experience more of the world. Joe offers to secretly squire Rachael to the drive-in movie and soon their friendship deepens to something more. But how can a summer romance last when the lovers must bridge an impossible gulf? One fateful night their hidden love is revealed and their relationship reaches a crucial crossroads. Can the lovers escape destined patterns and forge a future together? Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: Love, Honor, Obey? by Patricia Kay, a 2-in-1 omnibus of f/m contemporary wedding romances. Kay is a Harlequin author and I think the last time they got posted someone mentioned that these were former Harlequins themselves (or maybe I'm conflating them with another Kay former freebie), though any former publication info isn't given in the initial portion of the book. When Diana Sorensen and Lee Gabriel meet, there's an instant attraction. But Diana does everything in her power to resist his charms, because her son Kent and Lee's daughter Allison are engaged, and Diana isn't sure their engagement will last. Under those circumstances, she knows it would be a huge mistake to get involved with Lee. Yet she finds him irresistible. This romantic two-volume set tells both stories: Diana's and Lee's and Kent's and Allison's. Wedding bells will definitely ring, but for whom? In the capable hands of Patricia Kay, these two charming stories will keep you turning pages far into the night. Free again from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: Blaze of Glory by Mandy M. Roth, 1st novella in her Prospect Springs Shifters series of f/m contemporary paranormal werewolf apparently-western action adventure romances. Roth is an Ellora's Cave author. Sheriff Jonathan MacSweeny is in charge of keeping the peace in Prospect Springs. Frontier living isn't what it used to be. It's hard to survive in the New Old West and it's even harder when your area doesn't exactly embrace supernaturals--and you howl at the moon. That being said, he's good at his job and has a reputation with the ladies. When he learns his childhood sweetheart is to be married off to the town sleazebag, he goes in guns blazing to see to it she's his. Problem is, Molly isn't the same girl he remembers from ten years prior. Now she's a gun-toting, foul-mouthed, vixen with a badge of her own. Special Marshal Molly Cogan never planned to set foot back in Prospect Springs. When her friend gets the harebrained idea to steal her identity in an attempt to protect her from the bounty the outlaws have on her head, Molly finds herself standing right smack dab in the middle of chaos--or home in her case. It isn't long before Jonathan is there, flashing that famous MacSweeny boy smile and tempting her in ways she wasn't prepared for. This heart-hardened Marshal has her work cut out for her if she plans to face her past fears and her past sweetheart. Last edited by ATDrake; 03-27-2015 at 05:12 PM. Reason: Oops, title errors. |

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: (linkage for the lot)
Love Circuits & Siren Song & Missouri Moonlight by Leigh Roberts, f/m contemporary 80-era romances starring computer programmers, musicians, and a chef, respectively. LC and SS are Harlequins that originally came out in 1984 & 1985, respectively. MM doesn't link to publication info, but is probably another one of the same unless the author was feeling really retro when she wrote it. Frankie Warburton has always chosen logic over love, immersing herself in her work as a microprocessor systems designer. But her new job involves working with Dr. Julian “Jules” Jones, who besides having a knowledgeable and innovative approach to electronics, also dabbles in poetry and painting. Soon Jules and Frankie are studying chemistry--their own. Jules is sure where they're heading, but Frankie has trouble believing that an amorphous emotion like love really exists. Will logic circuits triumph over love? Revisit an age when computers were big and clunky, and romance was hot! ![]() ![]() Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon: Race the Darkness by Carol Rose, a newly-written f/m contemporary political romance. Rose is a former Kensington Zebra/Precious Gems author. In this romance laced with adrenalin, Kinkade Holbert races motorcycles like dying doesn't scare him. A successful attorney and the son of a senator, he's running from a past he can't forget and the conviction that he caused his younger brother's death. While he's sexy as hell, Brooke McClendon has had enough trouble. Giving into her dying father's pleas, she helped him end his pain and went to jail for it. She's trying to get her life back together, but Kade's trying to get her attention and he scares her. Kade's not a risk junkie; he just doesn't seem to care whether he lives or dies. Kade's struggles with believing he must take his dead brother's place and follow in his father's political path. Despite having a conflicted relationship with his parents, he feels he owes them. Crashing into his plans for atonement, the surprisingly less-conflicted Brooke makes him really hot at the same time she annoys Kade with her concern over his racing/sky-diving risk-taking. Brooke has her own conflicted past, but she's at peace with her choices, even though these led to loss of her beloved career. Now, she's trying to put her life back together when Kade and his struggle crash into her awareness. Kade doesn't think he's addicted to the adrenalin. It just helps him forget and it doesn't seem that big a deal if he were to end up dead. In many ways, he feels his brother should have been the one to survive. Brooke wants him to guard his life, but then she doesn't know who he really is. When push comes to shove, Kade's future political life comes calling and he's thrown into crisis. He's not living his own life and he knows Brooke won't love him when she finds out the truth. |

Weekly Report:
Read: No new books read, but I did manage to start (barely) my Psy/Changeling reread. Read Slave to Sensation today and will start Visions of Heat after dinner. Even though I had an organized wishlist, I spent spent way, way too much time browsing at Kobo with the magic coupon this week ![]() Purchased: A lot of my purchases were to fill in series/authors where I was missing books here or there. One of the 36 Hour books (Cinderella for a Night) was one of the messy Kobo ones so I just rebought it direct from Harlequin (didn't want to take the time to fix it since the formatting is atrocious, but it does download as an epub not a kepub). I also used my final credit at DANL. I know we have until August 23, but I didn't want to forget and miss getting my last book. |
