Well, Webber's other books are pretty decent too, like the Between the Lines series.

I haven't read Easy either... I figured out I am generally not a fan of angsty NA (there are exceptions of course!). Sadly I still have a whole whack of NA in my library from an early spree of $0.99 buying and freebie one-clicks (108 total, yikes!). I wish I could pass the ones I will never read on - darn eBooks!

Blue2U - 23 books! I'm impressed! My couponable to-buy list is a whopping three books long!

Infamous for his wild, sensual needs, Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, is searching for a savage killer in St. Giles, London's most notorious slum.

A WOMAN HAUNTED BY HER PAST . . .

Caire makes a simple offer-in return for Temperance's help navigating the perilous alleys of St. Giles, he will introduce her to London's high society so that she can find a benefactor for the home. But Temperance may not be the innocent she seems, and what begins as cold calculation soon falls prey to a passion that neither can control-one that may well destroy them both.

Reaver (Demonica #10) by Larissa Ione - $1.99
Kindle | Kobo | Nook | Google

WARRIOR OF HEAVEN

Reaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude.

ANGEL OF HELL

Harvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she's doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan's lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld's darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel's blood . . .

Lukas Hawkins, the second son of the troubled House of Trent, is on a mission: find his missing mother and her alleged kidnapper, a brute named Roger Morton.

Emma Curtis knows of Lord Lukas's rakish reputation-and hopes to use it to her advantage.

As their journey carries them to unexpected places, Luke and Emma indulge their every passion and share their most private fantasies. But just when their deepest desires are finally within reach, a secret is revealed that threatens to end their love forever . . .

Yet when Connor finally stokes the embers of desire that have so long burned within her, Ilysa feels bliss unlike any she's ever known. Now as he is forced to place duty before happiness, Ilysa senses Connor is in grave peril. Can she find a way to prove she is the woman he needs by his side?

This is so true. It's gratuitous angst, and it has pretty much turned me off to NA. Plus, they don't necessarily end in an HEA, which is a total deal breaker.

On another note, I want to thank whoever recommended J.M. Madden's Lost and Found series. I am loving these books, the first two are 5 stars for me. I just picked up the third book and will probably devour it in the next day or so.

Wow Apesmom, some great deals here! Thanks!

Love, Me by Tiffany White (Harlequin Temptation 1994)

Dakota Law has a way with words. Country music's brightest star, the lyrics he writes make every woman melt.

Chelsea Stone is rock music's legendary bad girl with a mane of dark curls, red lips and flashy long legs, but that's not enough to stop a career on the skids and the big zero in the romance score.

Dakota isn't having any of it. And he definitely isn't going to write the song she so desperately needs to revive her career.

In their battle of wills, could it actually be desire that wins out?

A Heart Decision by Laurie Kellogg - Return to Redemption Series, Book Five.

On her wedding night, Sabrina will share the bridal suite with one of her brother’s best friends.

Which one? She has no idea!

Sabrina Fitzpatrick helped plan her dream wedding last year—for her brother and his wife. Now, she wants her own fairytale ceremony. She’s tired of waiting for commitment-phobe, Detective Luke Marino, to realize she’s been crazy about him since puberty. Consequently, when Luke’s billionaire friend asks her to marry him, she’s compelled to accept BJ Elliott’s proposal, especially after he suggests their impending marriage might induce his idiot pal to finally step forward. Unfortunately, a week later, adrenaline-junkie Luke risks his life again and ends up temporarily confined to a wheelchair.

BJ would love to give Sabrina an unforgettable wedding night, but he fears she’ll never be happy with him if she doesn’t resolve her feelings for his buddy, first. Therefore, even knowing he could lose her, BJ persuades her to become Luke’s live-in nurse—offering her one last chance to convince the man she loves to take BJ’s place at the altar (which BJ doubts his friend will ever do). If nothing else, he hopes Love’em and Leave’em Luke can convince Sabrina he’ll make a lousy husband.

Luke has two secrets not even his best friends know. The first is he aches for Sabrina with every fiber of his being. The second is he loves her enough to spare her the heartbreak that being his wife would undoubtedly entail. Much to Luke’s dismay, his resolve to resist his buddy’s fiancée is tested after Sabrina steps in as his nurse and starts prancing around in nothing but his threadbare T-shirt. If he surrenders to her seduction, it may destroy his relationship with BJ. And, worse still, if he gets a taste of loving Sabrina, how can he ever stand by and let her marry his friend?
