Oh! I just learned Christie Craig is writing a sequel to Gotcha! Mark will finally have his story told. I am doing a happy dance here!

Gotcha was my first book by her. It has the tampon scene in it. Till this day I have not read anything in a romance book that was funnier. I never laughed so hard reading a scene but it's was great.

Oh and Amanda Rose, Dark Torment, Dark Of The Moon and Desire In The Sun by Karen Robards will soon be available in ebook!

I am currently reading the last book in the Crossfire series, and it is a long one, so I won't be looking for new books for awhile. Good thing, because I lost internet for 2 days with all the storms - I was so afraid my LPL would be cutting up its monthly Harlequins! They come out anytime between the 2nd and the 8th.

Crossfire started out so well. Second book I couldn't get into. I can't comment on this last book, yet. Anyone else read it?
I haven't picked up that series (because of price) but I'm fascinated by all the drama I'm reading on FB... especially Sylvia Day's response to why there will be five books now. I spend more time reading about books on social media than actually reading some days!

Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. I haven't read it, but watched the TV miniseries when it came out back in 1994. I loved Gone with the Wind, never considered it a 'romance' so that was probably helpful as I do love my HEAs!

While the chatter is fun, I suspect that many who follow this thread would prefer to see fewer non-free/bargain posts in this thread.

Perhaps a Romance discussion thread could be created over here?

It's never been a problem in all the months these threads have been going on, has someone complained now? Creating another thread isn't quite the same (unless it's really bothering people) as the discussions start because of one bargain or another.

The problem with that is we can't post links to books can we? That is what most of the chatter consists talking about books we bought and their prices. Its mostly on being frugal book buyers with the occasional chit chatter.

Discussion here doesn't bother me....

As for the Sylvia Day series discussed above, I haven't read it, thought about it, but as the whole series is about the same 2 main characters, from what I understand, that kills it for me. I want the romance and the happy ending all in one book. I don't want it spread out over 3 or more books.

I don't mind 3 books but 5 with the same characters and very little plot doesn't sound like something I'd first finish. I read 50 Shades and it lost steam on the third book. It sounds like this series has the same problem.

I don't know anything about what's going on with Sylvia Day's series, but I do have the first 2 books on Mt. TBR. I gather it is going to stretch to 5 books now? If I'd known that, I never would have bought the first one. It's hard enough for me to swallow a trilogy.

I don't mind series in UF due to the the worldbuilding and adventure arcs, but in romance I'm really hating the trend toward serialization and stories told in several parts, especially since most of them would fit in one book if they just had a decent editor. I'm getting to the point where I'm refusing to buy any of them. The good news is that will really help my book budget.

The nook daily deal is Steal Me by Robyn DeHart for 1.99

Fielding Grey is the second son of the Marquess of Eldon and fortune hunter by night. He's on a mission for the Legend Hunters—a group of wealthy, titled, and heart-breakingly gorgeous men, each of whom are after the find of the century—he has his eyes set on obtaining the illustrious Pandora's Box. But before he finds it, he encounters an equally alluring treasure—the woman bold enough to look inside.

Esme Worthington can't resist taking the tiniest peek inside when fate drops the real Pandora's Box in her lap. Thus, she unleashes one of Pandora's irresistible curses: the curse of lust. Now, both Esme and Fielding must deal with this passionate curse—or blessing?—before unknown implications of Pandora's Box overpower them both.

Funny, I was just thinking about how much I enjoy this thread, and the reason I do is that "chatter" is welcomed. It would be nowhere near as fun or informative without it. I love seeing everyone else's opinions of the free and bargain books they've picked up. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.... I hope the additional posting is not limited.

Judging from the comments on my note, it seems to be only a small minority who are concerned by the chatter/bargain ratio. Do please carry on.

There hasn't been too many goodies this month so far. I suspect the freebies and deals will pick up soon.

Has anyone read the Kindle Daily romance deal, or any others by this author?

Once A Duchess by Elizabeth Boyce - $0.99

Sounds plenty angsty. I may have to go ahead and take a chance on it.

I agree, and I hope nobody has complained. I also agree with what worktolive said, this is a nice little thread and I don't think we veer that far away from romance bargain discussions. I think it would be different if we were here discussing laundry detergent for example. But as others have said, the discussions seldom stray from the main gist of the thread, and I really enjoy them. I hope they get to continue without offending anybody.

As to the Sylvia Day/Crossfire discussion, I agree with most of you. This seems like a money-grab and too dragged out for my taste. After reading just a couple of reviews/comments about it, I'm not interested as it sounds like a rehash [read: stretching out to make money for the author.]

Still haven't bought 1 book today, that's 2 days in a row.

PS: Thanks to pdurrant for the clarification, hope we get to continue!
