Wolf Rain (Psy-Changeling Trinity #3) by Nalini Singh - $1.99

Spoiler:

The fate of millions of lives hangs in the balance in this new Psy-Changeling Trinity novel from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh...

Kidnapped as a young girl, her psychic powers harnessed by a madman, Memory lives a caged and isolated existence...until she comes face-to-face with a wolf. Labelled an empath by her bad-tempered rescuer, Memory knows that her 'gift' is nothing so bright. It is a terrible darkness that means she will always be hunted.

But Memory is free now and she intends to live. A certain growly wolf can just deal with it.
Alexei prefers to keep his packmates at bay, the bleak history of his family a constant reminder that mating, love, hope is not for him. But Memory, this defiant and fearless woman who stands toe-to-toe with him awakens the most primal part of his nature--and soon, he must make a choice: risk everything or lose Memory to a murderous darkness that wants to annihilate her from existence...

I think I've seen some folks mention TA White's books before on here ???, so am posting this freebie, even though I haven't read it.

Pathfinder's Way, Broken Lands #1
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CAUZUU2
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/pathfinder-s-way

Spoiler:

The Trateri are about to learn a vital lesson of the Broken Lands. Deep in the remote expanse where anything can happen, it pays to be on a pathfinder’s good side.

Nobody ventures beyond their village walls. Nobody sane that is. Monstrous creatures and deadly mysteries wait out there. Lucky for the people she serves, Shea’s not exactly sane. As a pathfinder, it’s her job to face what others fear and protect her charges from the dangers that await in the Broken Lands. It’s not an easy job, but she’s the best at what she does.

When the people she serves betray her, Shea must rely on her wits and skill to survive the Trateri, a barbarian horde sweeping in to conquer the Lowlands, and their warlord, a man as dangerous as he is compelling. Her actions and the decisions she makes might mean the difference between life or death. Danger looms on the horizon and a partnership with the Warlord may be the only thing preventing the destruction of everything she holds dear.

Thanks, I have her Aileen Travers series on my KU list so I'll just tuck this one away.

That's why I knew her name...I've read and liked many of the Aileen Travers books. I guess I should get as organized about my romances as I am about my mysteries...

Yay, wish list price drop. So far it's only dropped on Kindle. This is the most recent in the series, time for me to get caught up.

Xavier (Vampires in America #14) by D.B. Reynolds - $0.99

Spoiler:

Barcelona—exquisite architecture, masterful artists, and just down the coast, an ancient fortress where an old and powerful vampire lives…and rules all of Spain.


Tall, dark, and deadly, vampire Xavier Prospero Flores waded through blood to destroy his enemies and reach the pinnacle of vampire society--Vampire Lord. He has only one regret in his long life, and that’s the day he rejected the advances of Layla Casales. She’d been too innocent, too naïve, and far too young. But she’d also been his.


Layla Casales was only nineteen when she left Spain, brokenhearted and humiliated by Xavier’s rejection. But now, ten years later, the ties of family are pulling her back, not only to Spain, but to Xavier’s fortress. Her father, the vampire lord’s military commander, is critically ill. Layla has spent years fighting on battlefields around the world, so when her father asks her to come home, she can’t say no.


Though Xavier’s rule began on the ashes of his enemies, it’s not vampires trying to kill him now--it’s humans. He needs to eliminate his enemy before more of his people die. Layla arrives just in time to help, but while she came for her father, the minute she and Xavier see each other, desire burns as hotly as if they’d never been apart. Xavier isn’t going to let her go this time. But before they can rediscover the love they walked away from, they must first keep each other alive.

This week . . .

Corrupted Hearts by Tiffany Snow

#1 - Follow Me - 3.5
#2 - Break Me - 3
Listened on KU, narration is good. I like the computer genius, nerd heroine but it took a while to warm up to the hero(s)?. The plots are a little over the top but I want to continue with it to see which guy she ends up with.

A Charade of Magic by Helen Harper

#1 - Hummingbird - 3.5
KU, this is fantasy, not in a modern timeline. It's OK, not as good as her Supernatural London series, but I will read the next whenever it comes out.

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover - 5

Listened on KU, narration is good. This is my first Colleen Hoover, it was gut wrenching. I have several by her that I've purchased or have been freebies over the years. Need to move them up the list but if the others are like this I can't binge them.

Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan - 4.5

Listened on KU, narration is excellent. Another author I have several older freebies and purchases but haven't gotten around to reading yet. She moves up the list too.

Freebie! Well rated series. I grabbed book #1 for free some time in the past but haven't tried this author yet.

Spear Song (The Isle of Destiny #3) by Tricia O'Malley

Spoiler:

Perpetually cheerful Gwenith Donovan is pleased with life. She owns a hobby store she loves, carries on daily arguments with her chubby cat Macgregor, and maintains a meticulous comic-book collection that makes her geeky heart sing. With no need or interest in romance to muck up her happy routine, Gwen is content to spend her days managing her shop and her evenings over a pint with friends in the village pub.

Until the moment that changes everything – when Gwen discovers she might just be living in her own magickal fantasy.

As a high sorcerer, Lochlain Laird isn’t used to taking orders – but even he can’t disobey the Goddess Danu when she punishes him for making a life-altering choice. Danu forces Loch to leave the fae realm to protect a distracted woman on a quest. Feeling the task beneath him, Loch remains surly as he does his best to keep his charge from being killed by the evil Domnua all while trying to ignore her unexpected charms.

As the tension builds on their journey to break a centuries-old curse, Loch must learn to put his ego aside and Gwen must trust in her own powers before everything they are fighting for is lost forever.
