FREE/BARGAIN — Romance & Discussion

[sufue]

A couple of titles in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews have dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK, possibly as a lead-in to the upcoming Emerald Blaze, set to come out towards the end of August.

Wildfire is the third book in the series and finishes the story arc for Nevada Baylor (and Rogan): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MDTF1A9

Diamond Fire is a novella set at the time of Nevada and Rogan's wedding, which gives a bigger role to Nevada's sister Catalina, who is the protagonist of the next story line: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BK3M7V7

BTW, in looking at these I noticed that Emerald Blaze is only £2.99 to pre-order in the UK, which is a lot better than the $6.99 it's priced at in the US. I'm not much on pre-orders usually, but that's a pretty good price...

If you wait a bit, Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh should come be offered for free, or on sale as it has a couple of times in the past.

Also I posted it a few weeks ago, but in case you missed it, wanted to point out that Cherish Hard (book 1 in the Hard Play series) is still free. If you want to try her contemporary romances, that might be a good place to start.

There is a spinoff series confirmed, Jennifer Estep posted about it in her newsletter and social media accounts.

I got Rock Addiction from the library and already started it (halfway now) but I'll also pick it up if goes for free at some point. I picked up Cherish Hard

Steel's Edge is the fourth and last in the Edge series by Ilona Andrews. It has dropped to $1.99 today as part of the US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US. This was a title I didn't have in ebook, although I had been able to read it from my local library, so I was happy to see it go on sale!

I quite liked the Edge series, so was sad to read on the authors' old website that it is finished, although IMS, there was a little "for now" after "finished" . But that "for now" doesn't appear on the new website , although as the new website points out, two of the characters from the Edge have appeared in one of the Innkeeper books...

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Steels-Edge-N...dp/B008JHXPVW/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/steel-s-edge-1

Spoiler:

The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy tale—and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…

Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out of the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her marriage crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for herself. Until Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and Charlotte’s life is turned upside down once again.

Richard is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and rambunctious Edger clan—and he’s on a clandestine quest to wipe out slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy them. The slavers’ operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows, and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive...

Seems to go on sale a couple of times a year at Kindle US. It's part of today's US Kindle Daily Deal for $0.99. Not on sale at Kobo US this time, at least so far.

Spoiler:

This is a short novel, about 60,000 words.
On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina.
And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night...Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans—an alpha-strain werewolf—and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.

Actually, I'm reading Inkeeper #2 (omnibus reprint) and several Edge characters appear in the book. They were kids in the Edge series but now grown. If I had not read the Edge I wouldn't know what made the girl so powerful as it is not explained.

Repeat by Kylie Scott is $0.99. I loved this book. The plot is based on amnesia but in this case, there's no expectation that the heroine will ever regain her memory so it's a different twist on the usual amnesia plot.

Spoiler:

When a vicious attack leaves 25-year-old Clementine Johns with no memory, she's forced to start over. Now she has to figure out who she was and why she made the choices she did - which includes leaving the supposed love of her life, tattoo artist Ed Larsen, only a month before.

Ed can hardly believe it when his ex shows up at his tattoo parlor with no memory of their past, asking about the breakup that nearly destroyed him. The last thing he needs is more heartache, but he can't seem to let her go again. Should they walk away for good, or does their love deserve a repeat performance?

All, or almost all of GA Aiken's Dragon Kin series has dropped to $2.99 each or less at Kindle and Kobo US, just in the last few days. The titles at Kobo are discount/VIPable. Note that there have been a couple of omnibuses of these available on sale in the past, so check carefully before you buy.

I quite enjoyed about the first 2/3 of this series when I read it a while back, and the last few titles weren't terrible, just not quite as fun to me as the earlier ones.

For the Kobo link, you have to page down a few titles before the series starts, and both links may have a stray or two.
