FREE/BARGAIN — Romance & Discussion

It the spoilers that tick me off. Cameos don't bother me as much as adding a summary of the previous couple's book. You see the previous hero has a disability well that's a mini spoiler right there then the heroine goes on how she met him and the current heroine asked how he got this way. I closed the book because that is a major spoiler.

Now how hard would it have been for the author to write. "Dear Reader you first met this hero in my previous book. This is his story."

I would have put the book down right there. Now I know authors who use to do that and I wish they still did.

Yes, reader letters in the actual book are best. And well-organized author websites with comprehensive series/related books info. Sadly, those are few and far between.

You can't even always rely on FictionDB, Fantastic Fiction, Goodreads, and the like as they don't always have accurate or complete information either.

Heiress by Janet Dailey - FREE
Amazon | B&N | Isn't free anywhere else at this time

Standing over her father’s coffin, Abbie Lawson wonders if he ever actually loved her. Yes, he’d given her wealth, a place in the top echelon of Houston society, and horses—a farm full of Arabians—but not his attention. On those important family occasions, he was always away on business in California. And then Abbie sees why . . .
On the fringe of the crowd of mourners at the funeral is a woman whose face nearly mirrors her own—a second daughter. And, as if that betrayal isn’t enough, she discovers that her father has left his money to the interloper. Abbie has the Arabians, but not the money to support them. As she witnesses her rival’s rise in the Texas social scene, a tall, rough-hewn oil man named MacCrea Wilder enters her life. She doesn’t need the distraction, but there’s something about his sinewy arms that keeps her mind circling back to his kiss. Yet, as the years pass, even love may be sacrificed to the bitterness between these two women.

A Wounded Promise, by Ashavan Doyon

Spoiler:

Sam's Café Romances: Book Two

Having survived one nightmare of a relationship, Justin Tesh thought he'd left the worst behind when he put his ex Peter behind bars. But when his new lover, Russell Pine, explodes in a fit of alcohol-fueled rage, Justin finds himself frozen with a fear he thought he’d long since worked through. While older, more experienced Russ is anxious to put the incident behind them, avoiding personal issues never works, and for Justin, his fear is an open doorway to demons both he and Russ need to confront.

Despite their histories of loss and pain, Russ has faith in the promise of their relationship. But if he can't heal the wound he's inflicted on his lover’s heart, he risks losing Justin forever to Peter’s legacy of brutality.

Has anyone logged in to their Harlequin My Rewards page lately? I've had no questions for points available to me for nearly two weeks.
Just wondering if they have not put up any questions, or if my page is just not loading correctly.

I was coming to post the same thing. Maybe they hit their quota for the month. They had a huge point activity every week till Valentine's Day. The Facebook one still works.

Devil in Spring is available for redemption. lol Meaning you can use a rewards code to get it.

I was able to do a Facebook thing on Sunday (spot the difference).

Usually new 100 point things go up on the website Monday or Tuesday and again Thursday or Friday. There was some stuff last week, but not so far this week for me either.

I had 2 things on the bottom. HMR poll, which was just a question, and the other to rate the site. Today I have a couple of things on top again.

Actually it turns out its 3 x 100 today. The deal alert just clicks through to amazon and once the first one is clicked, a 2nd one appears to click.

Annabel Laine (better known as Reay Tannahill) The Melancholy Virgin (Earl of Moriston Bk 2) is 99p on Amazon.co.uk as an Endeavour Press deal. Bk 1 was a recent Countdown deal.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Melancholy-...=annabel+laine

The second book chronicling the mysteries of the dashing Earl of Moriston.

Sometimes the truth is closer to home than we dare to imagine…

‘You’re not going to be best pleased. It’s a case of murder.’

With these words from a Bow Street Runner, that nonpareil of Regency London, Charles Edward Graham Dornay, fifth Earl of Moriston, finds himself entangled with the violent and mysterious death of a lady of easy virtue.

The prime suspect?

His own secretary, saturnine Francis Mervyn.

I love these; it's a pity no more were ever written.

Got it! Thanks.

Can anyone tell me how to do the book review activity? I have never been able to figure it out.

Although I never posted one myself, I might just to see. But this is what I figure. You go to the main harlequin.com site. Make sure you are signed in. Also, I made sure to make a community ID. That is in your profile on the main site. So that is the name that shows on the reviews, postings, etc.
When you go to a book, scroll all the way down. Past the author bio.
Where it says "Harlequin Reader Reviews". And there I guess one makes a review. I'll find out soon, I just read one I got from the site with my points.

eta: the 100 points posted in seconds after I did my review.
