Is anyone else having issues buying ebooks on Harlequin.com? i wanted to buy a couple of Linda Howard reissues last week with the CHOICEBOGO code and couldn't place the order (said URL was outdated). I tried to buy a new Avon title that was released yesterday and got the same error message.

When I click on the ebook on my laptop, I can't add the ebook to my cart (says Coming Soon), but I can add the ebooks to my cart on my tablet or phone. Very odd.

I've emailed customer service, but no response. Anyone else having the same problem?

Six of Hearts by L.H. Cosway

Spoiler:

Step right up and meet Jay Fields: Illusionist. Mentalist. Trickster.

I think in triangles. You think in straight lines.

I show you a table and make you believe it’s a chair.

Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive.

But most of all, I put on a good show.

The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn’t. Bear with me. It’s all a part of the plan.

Revenge is what I want. I want it for me and I want it for her.
I want it for all six of us.

She doesn’t remember me, but she’s the reason for everything. She’ll be my prize at the end of all this – if I can hold onto my willpower, that is. Maybe I’ll slip up a little, have a taste, just a small one.

So go ahead and pick a card. Come inside and see the show. Look at my hands, look so closely that you can’t see what’s happening while you’re so focused on looking. I’ll be destroying your world from right here in the spotlight.

You’ll never see me coming until it’s too late.

I’ve only got one heart, and after I’ve pulled off my grand deception I’ll hand it right to her.

So, sit back, relax, and let my girl tell you our story. You’re in for one hell of a ride.

I loved this book especially Jay, the hero. It's not very often that the hero of a romance is an illusionist.

And I've needed some time for finding how to download my books

It seems never ending from what I read. I thought they have fixed it by now. It's been this way since early this morning.

I don't have time to deal with Kobo now. I'm missing some books, but they are in Calibre. The date added being so messed up makes me sad as there's no way to correct the data. I shall refuse to allow it to bug me though. May have to remind myself of that until I buy enough new books to shove the incorrect dates off the first page

The Wine Gift set glitch is still on this morning and it still isn't fixed so you can keep earning points.

Not liking the new Kobo library but it didn't take me long to figure out how to download the book I purchased yesterday. Haven't checked to see if anything's missing. It's in Calibre anyway.

I had about half of my Sony books still in my Kobo library. Most of the ones I was missing had a message “You already own this item, but have removed it from your library. You can add it back using the button below.” Only I hadn’t removed them from the library, Kobo did during this latest “update.” I was able to restore over 100 of them.

There were some no longer for sale at Kobo (including two of my Nalini Singh SD books). And some they want to charge me to buy again (I don’t think so!). A few I understand because they have different ISBNs, but most of them don’t

What’s really strange as there is a book which was not transferred from Sony to Kobo back in March 2014 that I was told by Kobo was unavailable that now does appear in my Kobo account. I don’t think I will ever figure Kobo out.

Not all of my missing books were Sony transfers. Some were purchased at Kobo. But I'm not going to bother arguing with Kobo over them being missing from my library there since they're in Calibre and I have my backups. Dealing with their customer service isn't worth the headache.

Dearest Rogue by Elizabeth Hoyt. I'm not current on Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series so I haven't read this yet, but I've read many of her other books. She's one of my favorite historical authors.

Spoiler:

HE CAN GUARD HER

Lady Phoebe Batten is pretty, vivacious, and yearning for a social life befitting the sister of a powerful duke. But because she is almost completely blind, her overprotective brother insists that she have an armed bodyguard by her side at all times-the very irritating Captain Trevillion.

FROM EVERY DANGER

Captain James Trevillion is proud, brooding, and cursed with a leg injury from his service in the King's dragoons. Yet he can still shoot and ride like the devil, so watching over the distracting Lady Phoebe should be no problem at all-until she's targeted by kidnappers.

BUT PASSION ITSELF

Caught in a deadly web of deceit, James must risk life and limb to save his charge from the lowest of cads-one who would force Lady Phoebe into a loveless marriage. But while they're confined to close quarters for her safekeeping, Phoebe begins to see the tender man beneath the soldier's hard exterior . . . and the possibility of a life-and love-she never imagined possible.

Sustained by Emma Chase. I read this and it was one of my favorite romances last year. It's book 2 in a series, but you definitely do not need to have read book 1. I'm pretty OCD about reading order, but I heard some negative things about book 1, decided to skip it and had no problems picking this one up. It's written entirely in the hero's POV.

Spoiler:

A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.

When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.

Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy and Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal’s office.

Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that—that, I know how to do.
