Oh, and this one has been on my wishlist for awhile too. it's been in the top 100 just about as long, 4.39 on GR with over 4000 ratings, and it just dropped to $2 [It was $4, then $3, and I'm not waiting anymore! ] This is the first book of the series, IIRC the 2nd just came out.

$2. Driven by K. Bromberg
blurb:
Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…

I am the exception to the rule.

In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.

Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.

I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?

Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

Oh I have that series. I picked it up awhile back. Racing theme stories are autobuy for me. I am a huge Gearhead. Mechanic's daughter I grew up with auto parts on the table and carburetors boiling on the stove. My brother and father restores muscles cars.

Funny story: I live in a town where classic car shows are a big thing. So there is alot of classic muscle cars around. When we go out I embarrass my husband because if I see a sleek shiny muscle car. I will say something out loud like "Oh baby!" He just doesn't get it. He is not a car guy. *sigh*

Followed directions, fixed my acct. all is good....

then, tried to log into sony today - broken pswd! Had to do a reset there, also, and save new pswd. Suspect they send old, saved pswd to Adobe when logging in, which caused the issue.


All better now...

Just an update on Adobe - they just sent me the email about the break-in and to change my password. I suspect they had so many accounts compromised that they can't send that many emails in a timely manner and it's taking them days to notify everyone (also, if 700 million went to change passwords at once, it would crash the system).

On Sale @ Amazon $1.99

The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Ann Walker
(Pennyroyal Green Series 01)
Publisher: HarperCollins e-books (2009)
Note: This is a highly recommended series. It's taken me awhile to collect the books as they went on sale. It was on my TBR list for 2013 but now moved to 2014 due to holiday reading coming up. So grab this as I am told it's really really good!

A rescued rogue . . .

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.

A captivating captor. . .

Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger—and a passion neither can resist.

I heart you! I love those old muscle cars, and some of the new ones, too. My current fave, Chevelle. Old novas are cool too.

There was a little car show in our nearest town last weekend, and I took pictures of all the ones I liked

I don't know a lot about them, but I do love those old muscle cars too. My hubby says when he has his midlife crisis that he's buying a 69 Camaro RS-SS. Love the Chevelle too. BTW, I "heart" Vin Diesel, Fast & Furious, enough said.

*cough* back to topic, Blossom, have you read the Driven series then?

It's one of the way our town makes money so there is one like every month. The town is filled with classic cars and they go on a cruise through downtown.

I love the Chevelle and maybe that why Kellan Kyle grew on me. He drives one in the 'Less series. I like some of the new muscles cars too like the new Dodge Challenger out this year. I love its look! I love pretty much anything Mopar! Last year when our car was in the shop hubby rented a car. A Dodge Charger! I went nuts. He loved driving it but I got motion sick on these back roads! Still it was nice to look at for a few days.

I can just say I autobuy any romance cover with a cool car or motorcycle. They got my money. Any hero/heroine that is a mechanic or any type of racing that has a engine.

69 Camero is a classic choice! Very nice!

No I haven't read the series. Its seems these day I collect books not read them. I am so into the Lisa Renee Jones Inside Out Trilogy I can read nothing else till I finish it! It's getting right up there with 50 Shades and Kellan Kyle series. OMG it is sooo good! I've never read anything like it! I must finish so I can start my holiday reading though! I should be reading my spooky theme books by now.

You, my husband, and young adult son would get along very well!

I think a car of something with wheels that gets you from here to there.

Thanks! I've not purchased from them before. Because you can never have too many ebooks.

Have you read Dee J Adams' Adrenaline High series? I have all 4 and liked book 1 (Dangerous Race)


Had the hard drive cloned and replaced. Issues with that drive, so cloned and replaced again. Also got a new video card since the fan on mine died. Fingers crossed everything is finally fixed

Let's hope so! You need a break from all the tech stress! *hugs*

I have that series in ebook and Audible but no I haven't not read it yet. My reading took a huge cut when hubby had his operation and I discovered Swagbucks that very night and my reading when from 8 hours a day to about two hours a night. It will pick up again after the first of the year.

Right now I am getting together my holiday theme reads for the year. I am open to suggestions. I have two series for Halloween set up but first I need to finish my current series.

Thanks!

Though I do read Christmas books year round, I have a bunch of Christmas novellas/anthologies I have been saving for November/December.

[NixLapi]

I also am so looking forward to digging into the 36 Christmas reads I have waiting in Calibre... I especially love contemporaries at Christmas time, naughty OR nice! lol

A favorite past read of mine is It's Not Christmas Without You by Helen Kay Dimon. It's a novella, but I loved it and picked up the rest of the series. Another one is A Christmas Fling by Mary Jo Putney, another short but sweet (reminded me of the movie The Holiday I think).

Blossom - I love that you do Halloween reads too, so fun!


FREE at Amazon: The Rock Star's Sheriff (Parson Corners) by Patti Ann Colt
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005ME8WVS

Only 23 ratings on GR, but 4.03 - also it's a (female) pop star, not at all a rock star. Free, so trying it out, but if you're a rock star lover like me a female pop star hardly compares!
