Return To Cherry Blossom Way by Jeannie Chin (Blue Cedar Falls #2) on sale for $2.99

Spoiler:

In this sweet second-chance love story, two opposites discover their once-in-a-lifetime chemistry has only gotten stronger.

May Wu is no longer the shy teen who skipped out of her small North Carolina town right after graduation. Now she’s a successful travel writer who can handle any challenge. Until her latest assignment sends her home to Blue Cedar Falls, where, of course,
she runs straight into Han Leung, a.k.a. the guy who got away. How dare he still be so good looking, funny, and easy to talk to?

Han always does the responsible thing, which is why he put aside his dreams of opening his own restaurant to run his family’s business. But when May re-enters his life, he can no longer ignore his own wants and desires. Garden gnomes are stolen, old haunts are visited, and sparks fly between the pair, just as they always did. But Han and May broke up because they wanted vastly different lives, and that hasn’t changed—or has it?

Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh (Guild Hunter #14) is $2.99! (today only)

Spoiler:

Nalini Singh returns to the world of the Guild Hunters for the most highly anticipated novel of the beloved series—a love story so epic it’s been half a millennia in the making…

Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they’ve been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before—before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost—his relationship with Illium.

As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them—or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.

The second one in this series, Whose Midlife Crisis Is It Anyway?, is free right now...

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084V1RSVV
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084V1RSVV

Spoiler:

A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!

Midlife’s a journey. Enjoy the ride. Crisis included.

Never knew that life after death was far more dangerous than real life.

Never in my forty years did I think my new normal would be gluing body parts back onto ghosts and hosting a houseful of dead squatters. Thank God for superglue and a strong stomach.

Never thought I’d date the Grim Reaper and that I would be the one to blow it. I mean, how idiotic does one have to be to get dumped by a dude who lives in Hell?

Going about business as usual is not usual in any way. No one is who they seem to be… and to be honest, neither am I. What I’d known to be true has turned out to be myth. The Angels are frightening and the Demons are hot. Wait. I mean not. Who am I kidding? The Grim Reaper is very hot—like a freaking pre-menopausal hot flash hot.

Now I’m in a race against time and all sorts of unsavory supernatural horrors to save my deceased gay husband’s afterlife. And that was a sentence I never thought would leave my lips.

Whatever. I’ll yank up my big girl panties, stock up on wine and lean on my girlfriends as needed. As they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get inebriated… or something like that.

With everything to lose, I have no choice but to grow some lady balls. That I can do. I just hope balls will be enough.

I had planned to live midlife in peace, not in pieces.
Good luck to me…

Oh, and the first one still shows as free too...

It's a Wonderful Midlife Crisis (Good to the Last Death #1) by Robyn Peterman

Spoiler:

A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!


Whoever said life begins at forty must have been heavily medicated, drunk, or delusional.

Thirty-nine was a fantastic year. I was married to the man I loved. I had a body that worked without creaking. My grandma, who raised me, was still healthy, and life was pretty damned good.

But as they say, all good things come to an end. I’d honestly love to know who ’they’ are and rip them a new one.

One year later, I’m a widow. My joints are starting to ache. Gram is in the nursing home, and dead people think my home is some kind of supernatural bed and breakfast. Gluing body parts onto semi-transparent people has become a side job—deceased people I’m not even sure are actually there. I think they need my help, but since I don’t speak dead, we’re having a few issues.

To add to the heap of trouble, there’s a new dangerously smokin’ hot lawyer at the firm who won't stop giving me the eye. My BFF is
thrilled with her new frozen face, thanks to her plastic surgeon, her alimony check, and the miracle of Botox. And then there’s the little conundrum that I’m becoming way too attached to my ghostly squatters… Like Cher, I'd like to turn back time. Now.

No can do.

Whatever. I have wine, good friends, and an industrial sized box of superglue. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything, apparently.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a wonderful midlife crisis…

Broken Soul is the eighth in Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock series. It's on sale in the US ($1.99) and UK (£0.99) right now.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ISEF6C2
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/broken-soul-2
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ISEF6C2

Spoiler:

Jane Yellowrock is a vampire killer for hire—but other creatures of the night still need to watch their backs....

When the Master of the city of New Orleans asks Jane to improve security for a future visit from a delegation of European vampires, she names an exorbitant price—and Leo is willing to pay. That’s because the European vamps want Leo’s territory, and he knows that he needs Jane to prevent a total bloodbath. Leo, however, doesn’t mention how this new job will change Jane’s life or the danger it will bring her and her team.

Jane has more to worry about than some greedy vampires. There’s a vicious creature stalking the streets of New Orleans, and its agenda seems to be ripping Leo and her to pieces. Now Jane just has to figure out how to kill something she can’t even see….

Jessie Mihalik, author of the Consortium series, Starlight's Shadow series, and several other books, sent out an email that she is nearing the end of her web serial short story, Books & Broadswords.

Of course, I had no idea she was doing a web serial to start with (!), but I checked it out, and it's a fun little romance that she originally started for Valentine's Day. Per the comments in the latest installment, there is only one more chapter to go, and an epilogue. So if you want to check it out, do it soon! I tore through the first eight "chapters" and really liked it - of course, the "chapters" are pretty short, since it's a short story.

Here's a link to the first chapter: https://www.jessiemihalik.com/story/books-broadswords

[library addict]

I'm waiting until it's done to start reading.

It actually came to a partial resolution in Ch 8. I have the feeling that the last chapter and the epilogue will tie up some loose ends, but there's a feel good point at the end of Ch 8, if you want to cheat and start reading now. Or I could be totally wrong, and there's a surprise ending coming...
