It's DABWAHA time!

I looked through all the nominations and figured out I own 15 of them but so far have only read one. I think the tourney would work better for me on 2-year-old books.

You've got this week to get your nominations in to fill the eight category. I nominated Transcendence since it was my best of last year and it was actually published in 2014.

Who did you all nominate?

I have that one but I'm only up to book 7 in the Kowalski series.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Isolde's Wish by Em Petrova, her standalone f/m historical-ish medieval-ish probably-fantasy/folklore-tinged (is it just me, or should her beau really ought to have the name of "Tristan" if there's a "sleeping-with-the-king's-wife" backstory element in there?) probably-erotic romance novella. This appears to be self-pub, but Petrova is a regular Samhain and Loose ID author.

Warning: Love scenes so hot it could float a steamship!

With a wild boar on her heels and a naked man before her, Princess Isolde has no clue which danger is greater. When she trips and falls into the dirt at the feet of the axe-wielding warrior, giving her a very close encounter with his manhood, she battles her undeniable awareness of the sculpted man even after she finds he has a price on his head for attempting to assassinate her father, King Adlard.

The bold son of the man executed for sleeping with the king’s wife, Sadler attempted to avenge his father at a very young age. Now he’s faced with the temptation of King Adlard’s daughter and presented a fresh opportunity to right his failed assassination attempt.

But when he learns a powerful earl seeks the princess’s hand in marriage, Sadler realizes his passions run deep. Desperate to keep her from the arms of his enemy, he plans to steal her away from the kingdom and make her his own.

Social media can be such a great communication tool. I've interacted with two authors (Shannon Stacey and Courtney Milan) via Twitter in the last three days, with very fast responses from both of them.

Looks like Macmillan has dropped a wide range of titles down to $3.99. The few I checked on Google were also discounted.

Ah that's why Lisa Kleypas' Travis series dropped. I should turn off notification of those books... since I paid more for them ages ago!

NA, $.99 Amour Amour - Krista & Becca Ritchie
I rated this 4+, unique storyline

Spoiler:

Love is a circus

"Every day,” he says lowly, “I hold a person’s life in my hands. The circus is based one-hundred percent off trust. I give it all to someone, and they give it all to me.”

The best aerial technique won’t land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour—a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she’s out of her element the second she meets Amour’s leading performer. Confident, charming and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova lives up to his nickname as the “God of Russia.”

When Thora unknowingly walks into the crosshairs of Nikolai’s after-show, her audition process begins way too soon. Unprofessional. That’s what Nik calls their “non-existent” relationship. It’s not like Thora can avoid him. For one, they may be partners in the future--acrobatic partners, that is. But getting closer to Nik means diving deeper into sin city and into his dizzying world.

Thora wants to perform with him, but when someone like Nikolai attracts the spotlight wherever he goes—Thora fears that she’s destined to be just background to his spellbinding show.

This sexy and exhilarating New Adult Romance can best be described as Cirque du Soleil meets the steamy, athletic romance of Center Stage.

*standalone & no love triangles—recommended for readers 18+ for mature content*

PN, free, Fighting Destiny - Amelia Hutchins

Spoiler:

Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae - beautiful, magical, deadly and a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?
Welcome to my world.
What started out as a strange assignment, leads to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times and my friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.
Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae…every time he touches me or looks at me with those golden eyes seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.
My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

Checking in:

I didn't buy any books last week. I read to 48% Virgin River by Robyn Carr only to realize it is a spin off of another series. So I stopped and checked out Deep in the Valley by Robyn Carr and I'm 30% into that book and things from Virgin River are starting to make more sense. I was wondering why things kept going over my head in virgin River. I like Deep in the Valley better I think the story just flows and the world building is much better as in Virgin river too many vague references were given to make sense which is why I say don't read that book till you read the Grace Valley Series.

Today or tomorrow hubby is going to talk to the leasing office on renewing the lease. Need lots of good thoughts sent that way. There is a income requirement that may come to question. As you can see I'm still here I was able to borrow money for the internet bill from a relative but I would really love to sell that Kindle as hubby's phone goes off today. No phone means no jobs because they can't contact you. So if you know anyone that wants a Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Keyboard 3G send them my way please.

My best wishes, Blossom! I hope things improve soon.
