I know that. It was working last month. Since March it has not worked. B&N must of changed something. Just need to figure out what.

Give the new key a unique name, then your name in the box, the same way your account is at BN, then the credit card you use on the BN site.

Then you have to save, close Calibre, re-open, then import the book you want again, and it should work -- that's what worked for me.

The "tool" for B&N worked for me today. Check to see if you changed the credit card number you use at B&N.

Credit card is the same one I used in Feb and it worked then. Credit card is active because I used it at Amazon yesterday.

I find when Calibre is being finicky a restart fixes it.

We're not suppose to discuss this stuff here though other then yes the tools work or no they don't. We don't want to get MR in trouble.

Suze you have my email still?

ETA worktolive, hope you enjoy Twisted as much as I did, gave it a 5.
And I just finished 'Play', looooved it too.

Thanks! I figured you'd be the one with an answer on these. I have the first one and based on your ratings I'll pass on 2 & 3 for now.

Amazon has not yet price matched.

Eleanor Chivenham didn't put much past her vile brother, but even she had not anticipated his greedy scheme to dupe a rich earl into mistaking her for a lightskirt! With her reputation in shreds and her future ruined, a defeated Eleanor was forced to agree to a hasty wedding. But marriage to the mysterious Nicholas Delaney, with his casual elegance and knowing smile, was more than she'd bargained for. He doubtless thought the worst of her, but when society gossip soon told her all about his beautiful French mistress, Eleanor tried to act with the cool dignity required in a marriage of convenience. But how long could she hold out against his undeniable charm—or the secret desires of her heart?

Now I have another card I was able to get this at B&N Funny thing is I was just earlier looking at book 6 whch is on sale and thought I need to read book one and then hey it pops up free so that is a sign right? The Reading Fairy is saying I need to read this next.

This is a good series, but it's good to keep in mind these are not "typical" romance novels. I like them because of that - I like the emotion in them and the fact that these people have to learn each other (it's not "insta-luv").

I've seen some people complain the books are too slow, especially the first books in that series. But I suspect, based on comments you've made about today's lighter historicals, that you'll like these.

I do prefer Historical romance with substance. I don't mind if they are slow. While I think Intsa-luv is okay I can't stand instant lust where the heroine is panting like a dog all the time. This happens alot with the new contempories out. I do prefer romances where the heroine and hero grow to love each other. It's more realistic and reflects the historical time period more.

I think the 90s were the best time for historical romance.

Love the back lists.

I read "An Arranged Marriage" back in 2009. There were some themes in it I didn't totally love, but overall it was so well into its time. I am actually reading the 2nd in that series right now coincidentally "An Unwilling Bride". I am about 44% in and the hero and the heroine are still trying to figure each other out. Heck, they don't even really like each other.

What I love about these books is some of the details that pertain to the time. After reading some more modern written historicals, its really nice to sink into the time and actually feel like you are there, rather than just modern people wearing costumes. Now don't get me wrong, I read and love those too. All in its right time. But I felt more like some deeper slower historical read. More meat I guess. I am having a hard time to find the right words. I feel like there are more layers to the people as the surroundings are part of the historical life.

I have no clue though why it took me from 2009 to today to read the next in that series though. I get side tracked so easy and there is shiny everywhere I guess. .

Does anyone need anymore 75% codes? They should still be good on 4/1 when the 2nd big batch of new releases come out.
