Marcus by Anna Hacket (Hell Squad #1) free

Spoiler:

In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on…

In a world gone to hell, Elle Milton—once the darling of the Sydney social scene—has carved a role for herself as the communications officer for the toughest commando team fighting for humanity’s survival—Hell Squad. It’s her chance to make a difference and make up for horrible past mistakes…despite the fact that its battle-hardened commander never wanted her on his team.

When Hell Squad is tasked with destroying a strategic alien facility, Elle knows they need her skills in the field. But first she must go head to head with Marcus Steele and convince him she won’t be a liability.

Marcus Steele is a warrior through and through. He fights to protect the innocent and give the human race a chance to survive. And that includes the beautiful, gutsy Elle who twists him up inside with a single look. The last thing he wants is to take her into a warzone, but soon they are thrown together battling both the alien invaders and their overwhelming attraction. And Marcus will learn just how much he’ll sacrifice to keep her safe.

Looks like a mix of novellas and short stories. I recognize some of the authors and like them, so I'm going to give it a try.

Weekly Report:

Read:

• Garden of Lies by Amada Quick (B/4 stars)

Also up to Poker Night in my complete Psy/Changeling series reread. I had planned to get caught up and then stick to my planned reread schedule. But I will probably continue to reread the rest almost back-to-back and be done with them all by next week. Which may make the wait for Shards of Hope harder, but oh well. I just don't seem to be in the mood for anything else despite a bunch of new releases, etc in my TBR pile.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

River of Passion by Kathryn Hockett aka Kathryn Kramer aka Marcia Hockett aka however many other names actual romance readers can remember spotting her under, an f/m Victorian historical adventure romance set during an African expedition, originally out from some Kensington imprint in 1993.

Like the shadow of a huge beast waiting to entrap its prey, the outline of “the dark continent” rose up in the early morning mists. Dr. Amanda Jane Lawton had come to this land of fierce exotic animals, dangerous vine-infested jungles and unexplored rivers, to find her lost missionary father. Now as she waited for the boat that would take her up the Congo she was having second thoughts—about the journey, the bad weather, and the wisdom of putting her life in the hands of a man she had never even met.

Captain Dante Roth was a man who valued his solitude and was determined to live his life just the way he wanted to. Adventure. Travel. Exploring. Freedom. That was what life on the river gave him. He would never have agreed to take some doctor up the river on his boat—the Dante’s Desire—if he didn’t need the money. In his mind he pictured Dr. A. J. Lawton as some paunchy, pompous, bespectacled old reprobate with a face frozen into a perpetual frown. Little did he know he was in for a big surprise!

The Boston born-and-bred doctor—the stubborn, unshaven, determined boat captain—a mismatched pair of traveling companions who seemed to be at odds over everything until they surrendered to their untamed desires in the steamy wilds of the jungle.

The Sound of Language by Amulya Malladi

Escaping the turmoil and heartbreak of war-torn Kabul, Raihana settles with distant relatives in the strange, cold, damp country of Denmark.
Homesick and heartbroken, Raihana bravely attempts to start a new life, trying hard not to ponder the fate of her husband, who was taken prisoner by the Taliban and never heard from again.
Soon after arriving, Raihana finds herself in a language school, struggling to learn Danish, which she thinks sounds like the buzzing of bees.
To improve her speaking skills, Raihana apprentices herself to Gunnar, a recent widower who is steadily withdrawing from the world around him, even neglecting the bee colonies he worked so hard to cultivate with his late wife.

AMULYA MALLADI is also the author of `Serving Crazy with Curry'.

Checking in:

I just finished No Such Thing As A Secret by Shelly Fredman (5 stars) I have finally found someone who can write that silly funny witty way like JE can. If you love Plum you got give this book a try. I will be reading the next one. It has that Zainy craziness that the Plum books have. There are a few similarities but the Author holds her own. I don't why they haven't been picked up by a mainstream publisher yet.

I haven't bought book two yet but plan to book one was a freebie. Sis is out of the hospital. Life is getting back to normal and the apartment is starting to look like a apartment instead of a room full of boxes.

NA, free, The Year We Fell Down - Sarina Bowen

Spoiler:

The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves has someone else. What now?

She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead.

Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. He's way out of Corey's league.

Also, he's taken.

Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the "gimp ghetto" of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands.

They're just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that she's falling. Hard.

But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he won't, she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harkness -- one which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy who's afraid to love her back.
