FREE/BARGAIN — Romance & Discussion

[worktolive]

Butterface by Avery Flynn is currently free. This is an Entangled deal so most likely is free everywhere.

Spoiler:

It’s true. I’m not what most people would call “pretty” and, well, high school was rough. Fast forward ten years and life is good…

Until a bunch of jerks think it’s hilarious to put the “butterface” (AKA me) on a wedding Kiss Cam with the hottest guy ever—and that old humiliation hits hard.

I recognize him immediately. The sexiest cop in Waterbury and totally out of my league.

But then he kisses me. And we totally forget the room, the crowd, everything.

Then he tells everyone we’ve been dating for months.

Soon everything starts to feel too real, from adorable fights over “necessary” tools to fix my broken porch to surviving a free-for-all dinner with his six siblings to picking up where our last kiss left off.

But there’s something he’s not telling me about why he’s really hanging around, and I’m pretty sure it has to do with my mob-connected brothers.

Because this is not a make-over story, and Cinderella is only a fairy tale…

My SO was interested in this one but a quick check showed it was picked up as a freebie from Kobo in Jan. 2019.

The first eight titles in KF Breene's Demon Days, Vampire Nights series are free right now at Kindle US and UK, probably in honor of the next two titles, which are coming out on July 2 and July 30 respectively. If you liked the titles in Breene's Leveling Up series, as recommended by @worktolive here, here's your chance (and mine!) to try one of her other series for free! And not just try, but read all the titles that are out so far!

They're also KU, but this way you can own and read whenever you wish.

And finally, the series page has a "buy all" button that's pretty handy if you need several/all, as I did...

Books 3, 4, and 5 in the Fire's Edge series by Abigail Owen have dropped to $1.99/£1.83 at Kindle US/UK respectively. And the first book remains a long term freebie (links here in @worktolive's post), and the second is also inexpensive ($1.99/£1.42) at Kindle US and UK. Oddly, if you prefer ePub, the first is free at Kobo US, and the last three are $1.99 there as well, but the second is $3.99. Go figure - looks like a pricing issue to me...

The titles are: The Mate, The Boss, The Rookie, The Enforcer, and The Protector. And here are series or search links:

For what it may be worth, the 8 books are also free from Amazon CA though the series purchase link is not available.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is my favorite of Mariana Zapata's books, with a few others quite close. One of the "quite close" ones is Hands Down, which is a spin-off from Winnipeg, featuring one of the secondary characters in that book, Zac Travis. It's on sale right now for £0.99 at Kindle UK.

Spoiler:

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack.”

Bianca Brannen knows time—mostly—heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.)

She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.

A couple of books are on sale for $0.99 that I really enjoyed.

Repeat by Kylie Scott

Spoiler:

When a vicious attack leaves 25-year-old Clementine Johns with no memory, she's forced to start over. Now she has to figure out who she was and why she made the choices she did - which includes leaving the supposed love of her life, tattoo artist Ed Larsen, only a month before.

Ed can hardly believe it when his ex shows up at his tattoo parlor with no memory of their past, asking about the breakup that nearly destroyed him. The last thing he needs is more heartache, but he can't seem to let her go again. Should they walk away for good, or does their love deserve a repeat performance?

Just a Little Bet by Tawna Fenske

Spoiler:

After a night of too many drinks, smokejumper Tony Warren and his best friend, photographer Kayla Gladney, come to the realization that they’re both bad at love. They even tried dating each other, but that crashed and burned, too. Now he’s got the hangover from hell and the certain conclusion he’s just a shit boyfriend. But Kayla thinks he’s a straight-up commitment-phobe.

So they make a bet—they’re going to hunt down his exes and decide once and for all why he’s so unlucky in love. Terrible boyfriend or commitment-phobe. Why does either answer feel like he’s still losing?

But between roadside burgers and late night detours, they discover some fires never burn out—like the one slowly smoldering between them. And suddenly losing feels a whole lot like winning again.

Grr. My Samsung tablet updated Calibre Companion again even though I did not select it to update. It's the second time it has done this and it is fixable but such a PITA to do so.

This is a cute romcom, set in Scotland and currently FREE. I've read several books by this author and enjoyed all of them.

Can't Tie Me Down! by Janet Elizabeth Henderson

Spoiler:

There aren't many jobs available in the tiny village of Arness, Scotland, which is why Mairi Sinclair works online—as a virtual girlfriend. For a weekly fee, she emails, messages and sends photos to desk-bound geeks around the world. Nothing dodgy, mind you, she keeps her clothes on! Mairi loves her job, because the last thing she wants is to be tied down to one man forever. Life is so much simpler when you can keep men at a distance.

And that's why she's upset when her virtual boyfriends start turning up in town. Someone has hacked her online presence and given out her real life address. To make matters worse, they've told the world that she's looking for a husband and the first virtual boyfriend to romance her properly will win the role in real life. Mairi needs help to fend off the hordes. She needs help to hide and find out who sold out her details. Fortunately, local mechanic and one time boyfriend, Keir McKenzie, is more than willing to help her—for a price.

He too wants a chance to win Mairi's heart and tie her down forever.
