MacMillan is testing subscription services with Scribd and Oyster. They are testing about 1000 titles.



Also, you can now buy Avon books at Harlequin.com. I wonder if they will be couponable there.

Look up what local Craigslist charges for it, then tack on $10 mark-up for hand delivery and being someone your co-worker friend knows isn't out to scam him/her.

Wow, German kobo store. COOL!

(I got exited, I've never seen that before. I love the fact that when I logged in my whole library was there. with German interface. This is better incentive on brushing up on my high school German than I've had in a long time. I'll have to play with this.)

Alexandra Ivy has two historicals for $1.99. They were originally published under her Deborah Raleigh pen name.

Bedding The Baron (Illegitimate Bachelor #1) - Amazon Kobo B&N

Spoiler:

Only the most damnable curiosity could compel Fredrick Smith to seek the truth about the father who abandoned him. And only a torrential storm could force him to stop at an inn en route. But what a treasure he finds there-a raven-haired beauty whose drab attire can't disguise her latent sensuality. And soon Fredrick's most pressing need is to melt Mrs. Portia Walker's icy reserve, and make her smile, sigh, and cry out with pleasure.

AND A KISS THAT WOULD TEMPT THE DEVIL.

From the moment Fredrick enters Portia's inn-wet clothes clinging to sleek muscles, angelic features, shimmering gray eyes-she is vibrantly aware of the danger he presents. Portia was almost ruined once, and swore that no man would control her destiny again. But vows are no match for a desire that could be pure folly-or the most exquisite bliss.

Some Like It Wicked (Hellion's Den #1) - Amazon Kobo B&N

Spoiler:

A canny, successful businesswoman, Miss Jane Middleton goes to London in search of a husband—only to find herself virtually ignored by the ton. When she overhears the notorious rake, "Hellion" Caulfield, admit he is in dire straits, Jane concocts a daring business proposition: she'll pay Hellion to strike up a flirtation with her, thus bringing her to Society's notice and attracting eligible gentlemen. The last thing she expects to find is that a deliciously skillful seduction is part of the package...

Handsome and charming, the undisputed toast of the ton, Hellion has easily eluded the marriage trap for years, all the while warming the beds of countless attractive and willing women. But when Jane bursts into his life with her outrageous scheme, her provocative figure, and a pair of captivating blue eyes, Hellion is stunned to realize that his jaded interest is piqued—and his desire ignited. In fact, his pursuit of her feels all too real. Is it possible that the ultimate bachelor has finally found his match between the sheets—and beyond?

The Kingbird by Justine Davis, a short story in her Coalition Rebellion series.

What was hidden is now found.

It has been a decade since King Dare and the flashbow warrior Dax reunited to protect their world. The Coalition has been driven out, but they have never given up on regaining the jewel that is Trios, and the battle is ongoing. The constant threat of the Coalition is a heavy load to carry, but it is made easier for King Dare and Dax by the presence of their mates, Queen Shaylah and Califa, and brightened immeasurably by their children, Lyon and Shaina.

At the urging of the queen, the families steal one single day away from the pressure, a day of rest spent at one of the few pristine spots left on their beloved planet, a place full of Dare's family history--a place where they find hope in a treasure thought lost forever, and their children unexpectedly discover what could well be the miracle to keep Trios safe.

Rushed by Gina Robinson. This new adult novel appears to be self-published, but the author has written novels for Kensington/Zebra.

A girl who has everything. A guy who has everything to lose.

Some things can't be…

Alexis

Like there has ever been any doubt which sorority my family expects me to pledge. I'm a third-generation legacy. On the first day of rush, I realize I'm in trouble. I'm not like the other girls in the house. But as long as my parents control my college funds, resisting is futile. Until Zach, the live-in houseboy, who's quite possibly the hottest guy I will ever meet, serves me a cupcake and flashes me a sympathetic look. With one enigmatic smile, he flips my heart and my world upside down. My parents will cut me off if they even suspect I'm interested in a house guy. But I can't stay away from him. And so I pledge the house for all the wrong reasons.

Zach

Living in a sorority? I get flipped a load of crap about being a live-in servant, the help. Easy access to the hottest girls on campus? Not with the unbreakable rule—get caught with one of the girls and you're fired. Immediately. Lose this job and I can't afford college. I sure as hell can't ask my parents for help. They wish I'd never been born. Considering what I did, I don't blame them. I've learned to think of the girls like sisters. Until Alexis pledges the house. Now sister is the last thing on my mind.

In addition to the link to Scribd romance books, I made a link with searching for macmillan and then sorting to books and the genre romance on the left. Seem to get more titles this way I can see. Only 185 show as listed. Assuming the search only pulled up macmilan published stuff and not titles with that name in it. I see some nice historical romances with this search.

https://www.scribd.com/search-books?...ery=macmillan+

eta: unfortunately, it seems to be pulling up harlequin and kensington titls also once I page a few pages. The first 2 pages seem to be MacMillan. Don't think there is a lot of romance in the 1000 offerings.

I wish there was a way to search properly by publisher and then by their designated genres and subgenres. Searching for the terms always brings way to many unrelated things.


eta: I think I got it. I put in macmillan publishers and put it in quotes. Get 96 results and they seem to all be by the publisher.
https://www.scribd.com/search-books?...+publishers%22

I think I remember searching for harlequin lines that way, putting it in quotes like "carina press" etc.
