Exactly! DANL is no longer really keeping up the website. Sourcebooks is still marking down books and updating their specials page but DANL people seem to be not keeping up with it. You can no longer see what's on sale or what's been mark down. You still have to use credits on anything that was a past selection there is no way to buy it and keep your credits if is on sale. The only thing going for it is the 6 credits for $10

Her "older" stuff seems to be getting some really good reviews on goodreads.

Its a good price to try her out in any case.

I wish she would released her older stuff! I am happy to see another author writing historical westerns. I can think of very few who still do this. I will probably go for it. I already have the Kris book on hold at the library.

Grab them here!

Note: Let me just say if you're going to spent more than $13 on their books. it's just cheaper to buy a one month membership. You get access to all titles past, present and those released during the month you are a member. You can cancel at any time through the website.

This may be dumb question, but are you really purchasing the titles? Once you download a file, you can do whatever you want with it (i.e. Calibre it to our hearts content)? I'm asking because it keeps talking about 'access' to the titles while you are a member, not actually saying you have the opportunity to purchase as many titles as you want for $13 (which, frankly, sounds too good to be true).

Is it just my imagination or are the pickins pretty slim for the first of the month?

Couple of good deals today, I have both [now], unread, but both very highly rated at Goodreads.
$.99 Charade by Nyrae Dawn
blurb: Nineteen-year-old Cheyenne tries to portray the perfect life to mask the memories of her past. Walking in on her boyfriend with another woman her freshman year in college threatens that picture of perfection.

Twenty-one-year-old Colt never wanted college and never expected to amount to anything, but when his mom's dying wish is for him to get his degree, he has no choice but to pretend it's what he wants too.

Cheyenne needs a fake boyfriend to get back at her ex and Colt needs cash to take care of his mom, so they strike a deal that helps them both. But what if Cheyenne’s past isn’t what she thought? Soon they’re trading one charade for another—losing themselves in each other to forget about their pain. The more they play their game, the more it becomes the only thing they have that feels real.

Both Cheyenne and Colt know life is never easy, but neither of them expect the tragedy that threatens to end their charade and rip them apart forever.

Mature content: language, drug references and sexual situations.


$2.99 On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves
blurb: Two people stranded on an island struggle to survive—and slowly fall in love—in the runaway New York Times bestseller from the author of the forthcoming novel COVET.

Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher desperately in need of adventure. Worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring sixteen-year-old T.J.

T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. His cancer is in remission and he wants to get back to his normal life. But his parents are insisting he spend the summer in the Maldives catching up on all the school he missed last year.

Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahan’s summer home, and as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens. Their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover that they’re stranded on an uninhabited island.

At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.

Yep you have them forever. I know it sounds too good to be true but you can download the whole catalog if you want there is no limit. The books are in epub and mobi format plus they are DRM free.
Usually 5 new books are released every week. I signed up when they had a promo going so mine is only $9.99 a month which is worth all the new titles I get each month.

Once you are no longer a member you wont be able to redownload anything so back up anything you grab!

Original Blurb:

A SECRET LIAISON

Only desperation could drive Silver Nichols to strike a bargain with Raphael Jones. Their liaison is strictly business: she secretly hires the devilishly charming scalawag to save her beloved millionaire father from a nefarious golddigger. But Rafe isn't a man who plays by the rules, and the rugged Colorado wilderness offers no shelter from his forbidden caress. Their clandestine meetings leave Silver breathless, yearning for the fiery kisses that could make her whole world go up in smoke.

She's wealthy-and she's up to no good. To Rafe's mind, that makes Silver and her millions fair game. With her fortune as his goal, he sets out to seduce the savvy black-haired siren-only to discover that Silver's cool veneer hides a vulnerable soul and a burning passion. Now who's wooing for riches and who for love? In this high-stakes game, dare the inveterate scoundrel wager the one thing he can never afford to lose-his heart?
