Happy for Jane as I know she had to spend a lot (before, then above the fundraiser) on the case. But I was hoping for a summary judgment so she'd be publicly vindicated. As it stands, with the settlement being confidential, EC can try to snow authors that they won

I still have no plans to buy EC books going forward until the actually pay their authors. And I just don't see that happening.

$.99 Nowhere but Here - Katie McGarry

Spoiler:

An unforgettable new series from acclaimed author Katie McGarry about taking risks, opening your heart and ending up in a place you never imagined possible

Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns into an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.

Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.

No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

Free, 'romantica', Reasonable Doubt - Whitney Gracia Williams

Spoiler:

My cock has an appetite.

A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar...(Although, that's a story for another day.)

As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.

My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.

This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least it was , until "Alyssa"...

She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.

But then she came into my firm for an interview--a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed...

**Book 1 in a three part Erotic Romance Serial.**

Free, NA, The Beats in the Rift - Ker Dukey

Spoiler:

This is a stand alone, NA, erotic romance. 18+ only


I was invisible, until they saw me...

When circumstance forced me and the Jacob twins to spend two weeks of the summer together, the bond we formed would impact us all, altering our lives.
Fate, entwining us forever.
They became my best friends, my family, my first love.
With their love came their father’s hate!
Love is powerful but also painful and destructive when it’s torn between three people. When my mother’s reputation and their father’s vile actions damage that love, that friendship, it changes the dynamics of our trio setting me on a path of love, loss and impossible decisions.

Jared the beautiful rogue, who pushed her limits, opened her eyes and owned her heart. Their love was powerful, everlasting… until he abandoned her. Justin, loyal and true, picked her up when she was left fragmented. He made a place for himself in her heart and would fight to keep it.
When both twins come in and out of Meadows life, leaving damage and hurt in their wake, will she ever choose one or the other, or leave them both without the beats in their heart?…

In the on-going saga of my TBR pile, I'm thrilled to report I have only 1 book left unread from 2011. I've been trying to add in the oldest book in my library amongst my reading and it's slowly working.


ETA: I don't know anything about this author [saw it at GR], but if you have any books by Laura Harner, you may want to read this article about her plagiarizing.

[Hemmi]

I do not understand why authors think they'll get away with plagiarizing another author. Someone's gonna eventually read both books and figure it out stupid!

Discussed previously.

ETA: Whoops! It was another one with a similar name.

I got this from Julianne MacLean's newsletter so I'm not sure if this is her using a pen name, she's the editor or what but it looks really good.

Avery Holt's Watch Me Run (Watch Me Series Book 1)
Genre: Romantic Thriller

[worktolive]

A couple of PNRs on sale:

Myth and Magic 3 book Crimson Romance box set by Jessica Starre $0.72

Spoiler:

Magic and mayhem lie just beyond the thin veil separating this world from a fantasy realm where anything is possible. For these three spirited heroines, all it takes is a dash of danger, a pinch of the eccentric, and a good stir from an irresistible male to develop a taste for the unknown.

A Certain Kind of Magic: When NYPD police detective Morgan Reilly discovers the lamp and frees the djinn, she thinks she's hallucinating the merman he conjures, thanks to her recent head injury. Exiled years ago, Mere needs her help to rescue a stolen dragon's hoard, but first he'll have to convince the gorgeous Morgan that he's very real.
Children of the Wolves: Seven years after a global disaster, Jelena still has no memories of her past, unlike other survivors. To her protector Michael's consternation, she continues to oppose their tribe, challenging the Elders' rules and even befriending wolves that terrify the others. Can Jelena learn to trust - and love - again?
Lessons in Magic: Recently unemployed and rudderless, Phoebe agrees to get her late aunt Edna's house ready to put on the market. While cleaning up cobwebs, she unexpectedly discovers her latent family talent for summoning demons. Noah Rossi, wizard in training, comes to the rescue, but can he save her from accidentally destroying the universe?
Sensuality Level: Behind Closed Doors

The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires by Molly Harper, $1.99. I've read this and enjoyed it. Molly Harper's books are usually more comic and light-hearted PNRs.

Spoiler:

“The thing to remember about a ‘stray’ vampire is that there is probably a good reason he is friendless, alone, and wounded. Approach with caution.”

Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow’s only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she’d like. Running their daylight errands—from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled Faux Type O—gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vamps. Her rules are strict; relationships are purely business, not friendship—and certainly not anything more. Then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and her quiet life turns upside down.

Cal—who would be devastatingly sexy, if Iris thought vampires were sexy—offers Iris a hefty fee for hiding him at her place. And even though he’s imperious, unfriendly, and doesn’t seem to understand the difference between “employee” and “servant,” she agrees. But as they search for who wants him permanently dead, Iris is breaking more and more of her own rules . . . particularly those about nudity. Could it be that what she really needs is some intrigue and romance—and her very own stray vampire?

I'm surprised because I think that price was set by the publisher, not by Amazon. Give it a day or two and I bet it will be matched.
