About:
When all hope is gone, can love still will find a way?

Tucker Simon has given up on love. After a tragedy, it’s just not in the cards for him, and he wishes his family would get off his back. He’s fine—or at least he thought he was--until a family wedding forces him to address a few things, namely his date, Abby Mathews. She's been put in the ‘friend’ category, mostly because she deserves so much more than what he can give. But the more time that he spends with her, Tucker begins to think that maybe there is a chance for love after all...

Abby Mathews has been in love with Tucker Simon since he walked into her family’s bar nearly a year ago. But he’s got baggage and heartache a plenty. His one-night-stands isn’t going to lessen that no matter what he thinks. Tucker needs a friend, but Abby wants to give him more, and as they navigate their way through a weekend in Florida, their attraction can’t be ignored. Abby has to make a choice. Does she cherish their friendship and take what she can get? Or does she go after what she really wants, which is Tucker’s heart…

Not free at Amazon US it seems but free at Kobo still.

Thank you! Nothing was broken just sprained so they gave her a neck brace and a sling for her shoulder. Shot her full of pain meds and sent her home.

Maisy is back her to happy self. I am happy it means I can sleep tonight!

My new mouse arrived from Amazon today so no more touch pad driving me crazy.

Undeclared by Jen Frederick
About:
For four years, Grace Sullivan wrote to a Marine she never met, and fell in love. But when his deployment ended, so did the letters. Ever since that day, Grace has been coasting, academically and emotionally. The one thing she’s decided? No way is Noah Jackson — or any man — ever going to break her heart again.

Noah has always known exactly what he wants out of life. Success. Stability. Control. That’s why he joined the Marines and that’s why he’s fighting his way — literally — through college. Now that he’s got the rest of his life on track, he has one last conquest: Grace Sullivan. But since he was the one who stopped writing, he knows that winning her back will be his biggest battle yet.

Lost and Found Groom by Patricia McLinn. First published by Silhouette in 2000. Free.

“While following a story in distant Santa Estella, hardheaded journalist Kendra Jenner finds herself in the middle of a vicious hurricane. . .and unexpectedly in the arms of a stranger who speaks virtually no English. Fear leads to passion leads to their making a baby, a baby which Kendra fully expects to raise on her own, since her search for Matthew's father – who she only knows as Paulo Ayudor – is a fruitless one. Then, three years later, her "Paulo" shows up out of the blue at her home in Wyoming, speaking the perfect English of an American, and identifying himself as Daniel Delligati. He announces he's come for his son. . .and for her." - (From an Amazon review by Karen Templeton)

Kristan Ashley pulled me in again, I just finished Lady Luck, another solid 4. Gotta say I usually don't picture a real person when reading a character but in the case of Ty I could ONLY picture him as Dwayne Johnson. So I went googling and it seems that Kristan Ashley had the same idea.

Yes, just not on any published books anymore. Trying to make my peace with it even though most of the books I buy are indie, paying publisher prices, blech. LOL

To those who have K.A. Tucker's next book due Sep 01- In Her Wake on your to-buy list, it's available for preorder in India for 99R which is about $1.50. Better than paying FULL publisher price of $3.

And just because I feel like it, BLECH again to the whole Kobo/publisher thing.

Sad as I am about Kobo, at least it is only the contest coupons. The general coupons still work in other countries.

I guess I will be checking the prices at Google, B&N, and ARe more often. And unless it's a read-on-day-of-release book, I may wait a few weeks to buy since so many books seem to go on sale quickly. I know I've been burned by that before but I always told myself "oh well at least I got it with a coupon"

Problem is so many of my autobuy authors write for the Big 5.

Not a deal, but...

In case any of you are fans of Shannon Stacey's Devlin Group series (books 1-3 from Samhain) I just thought I'd pass along that after years of fans asking for more she's self-pubbed a fourth book called No Place to Hide and it went live yesterday.

How to Catch a Wild Viscount
By Tessa Dare

She’s on the hunt for a hero…

Luke Trenton, Viscount Merritt, returned from war a changed man. Battle stripped away his civility and brought out his inner beast. There is no charm or tenderness in him now; only dark passions and a hardened soul. He has nothing to offer the starry-eyed, innocent girl who pledged her heart to him four years ago.

But Cecily Hale isn’t a girl any longer. She’s grown into a woman—one who won’t be pushed away. She and Luke are guests at a house party when a local legend captures their friends’ imaginations. While the others plunge into the forest on a wild goose...er, stag chase, Cecily’s on the hunt for a man. She has only a few moonlit nights to reach the real Luke…the wounded heart she knows still beats inside the war-ravaged body…or she could lose him to the darkness forever.

This is a novella of approximately 20,000 words, or 80 pages. It was originally published under the title The Legend of the Werestag.

Careful with this one. Amazon charged me $4.99 even when it was marked $0.00 so check your receipts.

EDIT: Returned & re-bought and was charged $0.00 so it might have been a glitch when the price first changed.

Broslin Creek Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by Dana Marton is currently $0.99
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo (couponable) | Amazon CA ($1.08) | Amazon UK (£0.77)

Book 1: Deathwatch
-----------------------------
The only person who can identify the most notorious hit man in the country, Kate Bridges is running for her life. Murphy Dolan is in the Army Reserves, returning from his 2nd tour of duty, only to find a stranger hiding in his house. She's scared spitless. He's completely burned-out on violence. Neither of them has any trust left to give.

Book 2: Deathscape
-----------------------------
After a near-death experience, artist Ashley Price is compelled to paint visions of the dead, and fears she's gone crazy. Then she paints a man buried alive and, recognizing the surroundings, she rushes to save him.

Instead of being grateful to her for rescuing him, Detective Jack Sullivan accuses her of being in league with a serial killer. He swears he will put her behind bars. Except, the more time he spends with her, the more he falls under her spell. Can he trust her, or is he walking into another deadly trap?

Book 3: Deathtrap
---------------------------
She'd been "the sick girl" for most of her life. She refused to go straight to "the weird girl". Heart-transplant recipient Sophie Curtis has been in her own antiseptic bubble for so long, she just might not be able to venture out into the real world again. Her spooky body memories are scary enough, but then she finds herself in the cross hairs of a killer.

"Love was blind, people said. But lust was blind, deaf and reckless." Ethan Bing hadn't been a great romantic before he became a cop. Whatever shred of optimism he had left after becoming Broslin Chief of Police had been seared out of him by the unsolved murder of his wife two years before. A new case brings the killer within reach just as Sophie pops into his life. She gets through his defenses like no other before, but soon it becomes clear that she's been selected as the killer's next victim.

Book one, Deathwatch, is often free (is currently) as a separate book as well.

Bring Me the Horizon, a novella by Jennifer Bray-Weber (Carina author).

Graciela DuBois is desperate to find the vile pirate who took her sister. What better way to hunt a pirate than with another pirate? When she strikes a reckless bargain with the infamous Captain Banning, she soon realizes a ship full of rogues isn’t as dangerous as her growing desires for the captain.

Captain Cutler Banning is hardly impressed by the lass’s quest—especially when the man she seeks is a member of his pirate brethren. That is, until she offers to pay handsomely with a legendary gold nugget and her body. The beautiful temptation is too great and, despite the curse the gold is said to bring, he agrees to help. Doing so invites trouble both on board his ship and in his wounded heart. And Gracie has a secret that just may destroy the brethren.
