NA, Free: Falling Into You - Jasinda Wilder

Spoiler:

I wasn't always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way.
Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.

Colton didn't teach me how to live. He didn't heal the pain. He didn't make it okay. He taught me how to hurt, how to not be okay, and, eventually, how to let go.

***
Nell Hawthorne is in love with her life-long best friend, Kyle Calloway. Their young love is invincible and life is full of promise; then one night Kyle dies suddenly in a tragic accident and Nell is forever changed. She meets Kyle's older brother Colton for the first time at the funeral. They both struggle to move on with life as best they can. Years later, they meet again in New York City, and Colton realizes that Nell has never really gotten over Kyle's death. She seems to be harboring a deeply rooted pain, a heavy weight of guilt and regret. He knows he shouldn't get involved, but he can't help himself. Trust doesn't come easily for either of them, and they both have demons. Together, they learn the purpose of pain and the meaning of healing, and the importance of forgiveness.

Full length (80,000 word) New Adult Contemporary Romance:
**Mature Content Warning** 17+ for language, and adult situations. HEA ending.

I haven't had a chance to go through the list yet (darn the evil day job!) but DA posted that Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews is included in the sale at $0.99!

I can't recommend this book highly enough. Definitely in my top 10 for 2014.

I also saw that Penny Watson's novella, Apples Should Be Red is on sale for $0.99. It's a little gem of a novella, especially for those of you that like older couples, as the MCs in this one are 62 and 59.

I can't remember. Has anyone sent receipts for Avon books to Harlequin for rewards points?

Also, has anyone tried getting points for Kobo or Google purchases?

Beast Behaving Badly (The Pride #5) by Shelly Laurenston - $0.99
Kindle | Kobo (couponable)

Some men just have more to offer. Like hard-muscled, shape-shifting Bo Novikov--part polar bear, part lion, pure alpha. . .

Ten years after Blayne Thorpe first encountered Bo Novikov, she still can't get the smooth-talking shifter out of her head. Now he's shadowing her in New York--all seven-plus feet of him--determined to protect her from stalkers who want to use her in shifter dogfights. Even if he has to drag her off to an isolated Maine town where the only neighbors are other bears almost as crazy as he is. . .

Let sleeping dogs lie. Bo knows it's good advice, but he can't leave Blayne be. Blame it on her sweet sexiness--or his hunch that there's more to this little wolfdog than meets the eye. Blayne has depths he hasn't yet begun to fathom--much as he'd like to. She may insist Bo's nothing but a pain in her delectable behind, but polar bears have patience in spades. Soon she'll realize how good they can be together. And when she does, animal instinct tells him it'll be worth the wait. . .

I tried some Avon bought at Amazon and it didn't credit any points. Didn't think I would going by what the website says, but tried it anyway.

I emailed them the first week of the program about Kobo and also asked about Google and ARe. They said they may add more stores later, but for now it was only the stores listed (Amazon and B&N for digital IIRC).

Thanks for answering my question.

Darn, but now I don't feel so bad about spacing out the points and using Kobo's shopping cart instead of amazon. Oh well I still have a big pile on hold waiting to see if the prices drop on the Harlequin site. Everything I bought today isn't available on that site, I saved all the ones I can buy there. Keeping my fingers crossed that they drop in time for buy 2 get 1 free on Friday.

I knew this sale was going to be scary.

My favorite Elizabeth Lowell romantic suspense - Pearl Cove - and the rest of the series are included. Too bad I bought them long ago at full price.

The Trouble with Honor (The Cabot Sisters Book 1) by Julia London - $1.99

Passion and scandal collide in New York Times bestselling author Julia London's brand-new series about four sisters determined to rescue themselves from ruin…

Desperate times call for daring measures as Honor Cabot, the eldest stepdaughter of the wealthy Earl of Beckington, awaits her family's ruin. Upon the earl's death she and her sisters stand to lose the luxury of their grand home—and their place on the pedestal of society—to their stepbrother and his social-climbing fiancée. Forced to act quickly, Honor makes a devil's bargain with the only rogue in London who can seduce her stepbrother's fiancée out of the Cabots' lives for good.

An illegitimate son of a duke, George Easton was born of scandal and grows his fortune through dangerous risks. But now he and Honor are dabbling in a perilous dance of seduction that puts her reputation and his jaded heart on the line. And as unexpected desire threatens to change the rules of their secret game, the stakes may become too high even for a notorious gambler and a determined, free-spirited debutante to handle.

An Object of Desire? Or of Fear?

It was stolen from a New Orleans grave—the centuries-old bust of an evil man, a demonic man. It's an object desired by collectors and by those with wickedness in their hearts.

One day, its current owner shows up at Danni Cafferty's antiques shop on Royal Street, the shop she inherited from her father. But before Danni can buy the statue, it disappears and the owner is found dead….

Michael Quinn, former cop and now private investigator, is determined to find and destroy this object with its long history of evil and even longer trail of death. He and Danni are drawn together in their search for the missing statue, following it through sultry New Orleans nights to hidden places in the French Quarter and secret ceremonies on abandoned plantations.

But Cafferty and Quinn know that their story won't end when this case is closed and the dead rest in peace once again.

She helped him when they were young, and the bachelor meant to do everything in his power to protect Mia and her child. Giving her a job and a room under his own roof are easy. Keeping it all about business isn't…

AURORA'S FINEST ARE BACK IN ACTION!

Why are too many healthy seniors dying in nursing homes? Vice detective Noelle O'Banyon can't let the mystery go. And though she has no business working a homicide case, the love-shy single mom draws partner Duncan Cavanaugh into her rogue investigation. He's a notorious player she thoroughly disdains—and the feeling's mutual.

Duncan considers Noelle too straightlaced for his taste. But as they uncover the shocking scandal behind the mysterious deaths, the crime-fighting pair become closer—and passionately in sync. Now, before a killer stops their bliss, can he and Noelle prevent the next murder in Aurora?
