Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh is on sale for $2.99 (Psy Changeling Trinity #3)

This series rarely goes on sale, nuch less the book that just came out last year.

I'll try to add store links when I get home. But I'm sure the sale won't last long. This series is a buy on release day one for me, so I already own it in digital.

Here are links (it's also matched at Kobo US)

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Rain-Psy...dp/B07JFMN6DR/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/wolf-rain-2

It's part of the US Kindle Daily Deal, so presumably good until midnight in some time zone. Usually for Amazon, it's midnight Pacific time, but if you really want it, I wouldn't count on that too much .

• Chaos Reigning (Consortium Rebellion #3) by Jessie Mihalik (A-/5 stars)

Just finished Ain't No Party Like a Bear Party so I'm finally up to Wolf Rain in my complete Psy/Changeling series reread. I also reread Jeffe Kennedy's The Orchid Throne in anticipation of book two in her The Forgotten Empires series on Tuesday.

I've enjoyed a couple of Susannah Nix's Chemistry Lessons series, and now there is a box set of the first three titles for $0.99/£0.99 at Kindle US/UK respectively. At least one of them has been free before (the second one), so YMMV...

• Remedial Rocket Science
• Intermediate Thermodynamics
• Advanced Physical Chemistry

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RT6PSHP
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RT6PSHP

Spoiler:

Dive into the first three books of the Chemistry Lessons series, featuring smart, relatable, women who work in STEM fields. Laugh, cry, and swoon along with them as they navigate life, careers, friendship, and falling in love.

Book 1: Remedial Rocket Science
After scoring her dream IT job, geeky computer whiz Melody moves to Los Angeles. But she’s in for an unpredictable ride when she realizes her new coworker — and the CEO’s son — is an old one-night stand! “A whimsical story” (Publishers Weekly) full of laughs and heart.

Book 2: Intermediate Thermodynamics
Between her job as an aerospace engineer and her knitting club, Esther doesn’t have time for romance. But when her annoying neighbor, Jonathan, agrees to date her best friend in exchange for help with his screenplay, Esther finds her dislike of him morphing into attraction…

Book 3: Advanced Physical Chemistry
Curvy chemical engineer Penny swears off men until she can figure out why they keep cheating on her. But her no-men resolution hits a snag when the superhumanly hot barista at her favorite coffee shop gives her the kiss of her life. A 2019 RITA Award winner for Best Contemporary Romance!

Grab the whole set and settle in for three hilariously heartwarming and addictive romances. Each book features a different couple with their own happy ever after and no cliffhangers.

Based on a "best of 2019" recommendation by @library addict, I picked up The Orchid Throne, by Jeffe Kennedy, and really liked it. I then read a couple of other titles in Kennedy's Chronicles of Dasnaria series and liked those. So now I'm happy to notice the first two titles in her Sorcerous Moons series on sale at Kindle US and UK.

Lonen's War, #1
Kindle US, $0.99: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CNBR7L8/
Kindle UK, £0.81: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CNBR7L8/

Oria's Gambit, #2
Kindle US, $0.99: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KP7J0YO/
Kindle UK, £0.81: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KP7J0YO/

I also noticed that Kennedy's newest title, The Fiery Crown, second in her Forgotten Empires series, which just came out last Tuesday, is only £3.68 at Kindle UK, which translates to about $4.54 per the ForEx website I use, which is a lot less than the $7.99 it's priced at in the US...

Now $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US (where it's VIP/couponable). Not on sale, at least as of now, at Google Books, and I have no idea about iTunes - I don't deal with things Apple. Links in @library addict's OP still work.

Spoiler:

AN ORPHAN’S THRONE

Magic has broken free over the Twelve Kingdoms. The population is beset by shapeshifters and portents, landscapes that migrate, uncanny allies who are not quite human…and enemies eager to take advantage of the chaos.

Dafne Mailloux is no adventurer—she’s a librarian. But the High Queen trusts Dafne’s ability with languages, her way of winnowing the useful facts from a dusty scroll, and even more important, the subtlety and guile that three decades under the thumb of a tyrant taught her.

Dafne never thought to need those skills again. But she accepts her duty. Until her journey drops her into the arms of a barbarian king. He speaks no tongue she knows but that of power, yet he recognizes his captive as a valuable pawn. Dafne must submit to a wedding of alliance, becoming a prisoner-queen in a court she does not understand. If she is to save herself and her country, she will have to learn to read the heart of a wild stranger. And there are more secrets written there than even Dafne could suspect…

FWIW, I love this series. Even though this is book one of The Uncharted Realms and could be read by itself, I would recommend reading the Twelve Kingdoms series first or at least The Crown of the Queen which is a bridge novella between the two series.

Also $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US right now. Same caveats as ^^^^

Spoiler:

Queen Of The Unknown

The tales tell of three sisters, daughters of the high king. The eldest, a valiant warrior-woman, heir to the kingdom. The youngest, the sweet beauty with her Prince Charming. No one says much about the middle princess, Andromeda. Andi, the other one.

Andi doesn't mind being invisible. She enjoys the company of her horse more than court, and she has a way of blending into the shadows. Until the day she meets a strange man riding, who keeps company with wolves and ravens, who rules a land of shapeshifters and demons. A country she'd thought was no more than legend--until he claims her as its queen.

In a moment everything changes: Her father, the wise king, becomes a warlord, suspicious and strategic. Whispers call her dead mother a traitor and a witch. Andi doesn't know if her own instincts can be trusted, as visions appear to her and her body begins to rebel.

For Andi, the time to learn her true nature has come. . .

I grabbed this book last week on sale for $0.99 and loved it. The hero is a perfect example of what I call the "caretaker alpha" type. It's book 12 in the author's long running NZ rugby series, but really works well as a stand-alone. I read the first book (also on sale for $0.99) several years ago but haven't read any of the others but there's no need to unless you have book order OCD. However, I enjoyed this one so much that I will probably go back to the others.

Just Come Over by Rosalind James

Spoiler:

Rhys Fletcher is not in love with his sister-in-law.
That would be a very, very bad idea, and he doesn't entertain bad ideas. He also doesn't lie to himself.

Both of those things can't be true, so he'll do what he's done since the long-ago night when his brother, Dylan, turned up in an Auckland bar after a brutal rugby match between their two teams, and introduced his new girlfriend--a dark-eyed, impossibly short, much-too-young girl named Zora.

He'll lie.

Now, his brother's gone, and Rhys is back in New Zealand and settling into his new job as the head coach of the Auckland Blues. Surely, being there for Dylan's widow and their son is the right thing to do. He can control himself. He's had forty years of practice. Until he gets a call from his lawyer, and flies to the States to find that handsome, charming, endlessly irresponsible Dylan has left yet another loose end for his big brother to sort out.

This one is six years old. And her birth certificate says she belongs to Rhys.
