$.99 What's Left of Me Series box set - Amanda Maxlyn

Spoiler:

This bundle includes both books in the What's Left of Me duet series.

Life works in mysterious ways.

Four years ago I became known as the girl with cancer.

I refuse to cry.

And I refuse to give in.

A relationship with a man is the last thing I’m looking for right now, but one night with Parker changes everything. He is persistent, and he knows what he wants.

Me.

He doesn’t treat me like I’m fragile.

But he doesn’t know, and I’m not ready to tell him.

What if it changes everything?
Tragedy found me when I was seventeen.

Love found me when I was twenty-one.

My name is Aundrea McCall, and this is my journey.

**This bundle is for mature readers due to sexual content**

Barefoot in White (Barefoot Bay Brides #1) by Roxanne St. Clair
Kindle | Kobo | Google

Meet the Barefoot Brides -- three destination wedding planners who are experts at arranging dreamy "I do's" but haven't found their own happily ever after...yet. All that's about to change in Barefoot Bay, a beloved tropical setting for heartbreak and happiness from New York Times bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire.

Willow Ambrose has fought a battle with the scale for much of her life, but she has finally won the war. She hasn’t just cut calories -- she’s cut all ties to her past, too, and successfully carved out a new body and a new life. But when she comes face to face with someone who left an indelible mark on her heart years before, all that threatens to crumble.

Navy SEAL Nick Hershey is on medical leave, doing a friend a favor as a stand in “man of honor” at a beach wedding. He might not be that interested in the nuptials, but the wedding planner catches his eye the minute they meet. When he realizes Willow is a girl he knew in college -- and a girl he unintentionally hurt to the core -- he knows he has some making up to do.

Willow has learned how to beat every temptation...but Nick’s sweet as candy kisses just might be the one thing she can’t resist. However, the closer they get, the more the past threatens to tear them apart. Nick and Willow learn the hard way that they can’t change history, but does that mean they won’t have a future?

Thanks. Yesterday was her birthday. We ate out then I took her to storage and gave her a bunch of stuff I always had put back over the years that I said was hers if she ever visited. I also found my missing box of romance books! Now I need to buy another shelves for them.

I think I will check Goodwill out this weeked. My library only carries popular books from the 2000s+. So in order to find the good stuff I got hit thrift stores and yard sales. My library wont even take books that are older than that unless they are popular classics or best sellers and they have to be in very good condition to like new.

Well, same here and we don't have Goodwill. So I'm trying to find any place that will accept some of my books.

I think it's a shame that older books are being phazed out some will never come to digital. I'm on the hunt for older books from the 80s, 90s when Romance was at its peak.

Here, in Spain, they're not older... but the first ones published I still have some of them, but there were very few published ones (as it is now again, sadly for my friends who only read in Spanish).

Dirty Rowdy Thing (Wild Seasons #2) by Christina Lauren - $1.99

Despite their rowdy hookups, Harlow and Finn don’t even like each other...which would explain why their marriage lasted only twelve hours. He needs to be in charge and takes whatever he wants. She lives by the Want-something-done? Do-it-yourself mantra. Maybe she’s too similar to the rugged fisherman—or just what he needs.

Never Been Kissed (Boys of Bishop #2) by Molly O'Keefe - $2.99
Kindle | Kobo | Google

As the daughter of a wealthy politician, Ashley Montgomery has had enough of her parents’ expectations for her future and is going her own way, volunteering to work at a refugee camp in Africa. But her act of charity turns dangerous when she takes a boat trip and is abducted by Somali pirates. Enter Brody Baxter, who was a bodyguard for the Montgomery family ten years ago and doesn’t think twice about coming to Ashley’s rescue. Handsome and tough, Brody has always done what needed to be done. So he swoops in, saves Ashley, and brings her to a place where she can rest and recuperate without the glare of the press and her demanding family: Brody’s small hometown of Bishop, Arkansas. But Ashley soon realizes that she’s not the only one in need of healing.

Holed up with Ashley in a tiny apartment over his brother’s bar in Bishop, Brody is tempted and torn in ways he never anticipated. Beautiful Ashley, vibrant despite her ordeal, fearless enough to love him beyond his wall of self-punishment, is now determined to save him. But with a little faith and a lot of love, they just may find happiness in each others’ arms.

Looking at the Harlequin site, it looks like all of the June books are full price. I am wondering if the will go down when they're available at Amazon, etc next month or if the Agency prices going forward will have no discount.

(As an example the May HRS are $4.24 while the June ones are $4.99).

I'm thinking the prices are going up since the May MIRA and HQN books are already for sale with other vendors. The new releases are $7.99 whereas last month's books were listed for $6.39.

Blech! I loathe agency pricing. It wasn't so, so bad when I thought Harlequin was going to allow a 20% "built in" discount.

If I didn't have TBR pile of over 6 years worth of material I might care more. As it stands I'm kinda looking it as an opportunity to decrease my spending and start working my way through my huge backlog. Of course that won't stop me from traveling when there's 90%codeaganzas.

I know I should try to look at it that way, too. Goodness knows my TBR is massive. But there are several authors who still write for Harlequin where I am current/nearly caught up on their various series and still enjoy reading them. So there are upcoming books which would jump to the front of line, so to speak.

I am just so glad I bought so much backlist during the various super sales (of what is actually available, I still have a "want in digital" list miles long ).

It will be interesting to see if the almost-weekly coupons from Harlequin will now be print only.
