Malice Striker - Viking Vengeance #1 - Jianne Carlo----(Multi-Format/NoDRM)
-Etopia Press
-Historical Romance/Erotic Romance/Viking

Can a mere mortal Viking tame the daughter of a goddess?

When Scotland’s King Kenneth orders his death and kidnaps his sister, the Viking Brökk—the Malice Striker—plans his vengeance: he’ll steal the king’s bastard daughter from Sumbarten Abbey and use her to buy his sister's freedom. But his schemes go awry when his liege lord commands him to wed Skatha—and when he finds five women instead of one at the Abbey, none will claim the King as father.

When the Viking abducts Skatha and her women, she’s bewildered. Why did Brökk seize her? Why does he want her for his wife? She weds him willingly enough when he threatens to kill her companions, but she vows to control her own destiny and escape. For if the Viking discovers her secrets, the laws of his people will force him to cast her aside…or kill her. And even Skatha, daughter of a goddess, might not escape the Viking’s wrath…

Book 1 in a series


A fun, lighthearted contemporary romance with a little added spice.
From Amazon reviewer "cara2ndglance": If you get sucked into Hallmark movies you'll like this book! It's a sweet light read with a predictable plot and happy ending all wrapped up with a bow on it.

Victor Barboza is a man who has everything but a good woman.

Cara Green has a young son, three part-time jobs, and a few extra pounds.

Their worlds collide as Cara serves Victor at an upscale party in Manhattan, upsetting Victor's ex-fiancee, Alexis, in the process.

Victor pursues Cara, but Cara is not sure of his intentions: Is he using her to make Alexis jealous? Does he just want her for sex? Or is love Victor's true aim?

Reviews on this one are split. This bit of a review scares me a bit:

If this book had a neck, I would have throttled it.

So sounds like "bodice ripper". Oddly enough its a Montlake title. They must have bought some batch somewhere.

Today's "Nook Daily Find" is Covet (Fallen Angels series book 1) by J.R. Ward for $1.99. It's currently $5.99 at Amazon, but look for them to probably price-match later today.

B&N | Amazon

Redemption isn't a word Jim Heron knows much about-his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charge with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin DiPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he's good with that-until fate intervenes in the form of a tough- talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart-and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul.

That looks like a Topaz book to me. Yep it's a Topaz. I went ahead and got it though. It will take some work but I can OCR it if it's hard to read on my Kindle.

Eww, I hate those. Do you check on the sample if that is what they are? I have a few of those I can't liberate. Thankfully its been only a handful, but the font usually looks atrocious and almost unreadable.

I guess they just uploaded that book at Montlake as is. The regular Montlake titles are not topaz as far as I can tell.

I don't understand why those are even uploaded.

It's a former Dorchester title which means it was uplaoded back when Topaz was popular.

Topaz are SVG images. So I just extract the SVG images then use a program called Prince to convert them to PDFs then merge the PDF into one file and OCR it and fix it up in Word. It has to be something I really want to read because it can take 3 to 5 hours to OCR then proof read.

If you use Apprentice Alf's tools, no plugins, they do that automatically.

I use Alf to extract the SVG images but that's all I use it for when it comes to topaz. The html file it generates is usually too much of a mess to read. My method gets a much more readable copy.

I asked this in the correct area, but since I know you guys are always Super helpful, I thought I ask again here:

Thanks!
