I'm still hoping not. But sadly I think the HarperCollins buyout will eventually be the end of all of Harlequin

Spoiler:

No day is ordinary in a world where Technology and Magic compete for supremacy…But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work.

Hugh d’Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming. Fast.

Elara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Her enemies call her Abomination; her people call her White Lady. Tasked with their protection, she's trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself—and Hugh d’Ambray might qualify.

Hugh needs a base, Elara needs soldiers. Both are infamous for betraying their allies, so how can they create a believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?

As the prophet says: “It is better to marry than to burn.”

Hugh and Elara may do both.

Since then, I've been keeping an eye out and picking up titles on sale/free when I can. Although these are a series, I think it only matters a little whether you read them in order.

The Blue Moon series by Lucy Score are all on sale for $0.99 each. That's 6 books for $6. This author writes cute rom coms. The books are in KU so this is an Amazon only deal.

The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren

Spoiler:

It's been twelve years since tragedy struck the senior class of Long Acre High School. Only a few students survived that fateful night—a group the media dubbed The Ones Who Got Away.

Liv Arias thought she'd never return to Long Acre—until a documentary brings her and the other survivors back home. Suddenly her old flame, Finn Dorsey, is closer than ever, and their attraction is still white-hot. When a searing kiss reignites their passion, Liv realizes this rough-around-the-edges cop might be exactly what she needs…

The Heir by Grace Burrowes

Spoiler:

Enter the lush, vibrant Regency world of the Windham family in this reissue of New York Times bestselling author Grace Burrowes' beloved debut novel

An earl who can't be bribed
A lady who can't be protected

Gayle Windham, Earl of Westhaven, is the dutiful heir to the Duke of Moreland. Tired of his father's unrelenting pressure to marry, he escapes to his London townhouse for the summer, where he finds himself intrigued by the secretive ways of his beautiful housekeeper. Anna Seaton is a talented, educated woman...so what is she doing here?

As the two begin to lose their hearts, Anna's secrets threaten to bring the earl's orderly life crashing down—and he doesn't know how he's going to protect her from the fallout...

Highland Spitfire by Mary Wine

Spoiler:

When passion flares between two enemies...the Highlands ignite!

Two hotheaded Highlanders, the offspring of feuding lairds, are tricked by the King's Regent into a desperate choice: marry or die. Bhaic MacPherson is more disposed to lead his clan into battle than stay married to the daughter of his enemy. But perhaps the intensity of his feelings has more to do with desire than hostility.

Ailis Robertson wanted a husband, not a savage—but when her family was faced with a deadly ultimatum, she had no choice. The union of a MacPherson and a Robertson could end three generations of hostilities between the two families, but can bitter rivals truly become lovers?

Thinking I will have to take a hard look at my residual autobuy/autobuy some series authors at the end of the year and drop some even if they still have a high nostalgia factor. It was one thing when the Harlequin My Rewards program somewhat paid for most of my category book purchases, I could look at them as kinda freebies. But...I need to let go I think.

Spoiler:

(Despite how mad I am about the Julie Miller book as I feel it was a betrayal of reader trust, I will keep reading her. I sort of feel she gets to have one strike.)

Decisions, decisions....

[Terisa de morgan]

I totally understand it, some books I liked a lot are not for me anymore, so I had to drop them.
