Free and bargain romances in June

Loosheesh · 06-01-2012, 07:19 AM

Britomart won't be around for a few days so I'm starting the June thread.

I have nothing to post (

) but I selected my June book from the DaNL club. I chose The Officer Says "I Do". Any other members make their selection yet?

I'm still deciding but leaning towards that one.

Fridays Freebie at Barnes and Noble is the Historical Romance Through a Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen also now free at Amazon

Quote:

Sourcebooks Landmark proudly reintroduces this classic historical novel.

Karleen Koen's sweeping saga contains unforgettable characters consumed with passion: the extraordinarily beautiful fifteen-year-old noblewoman, Barbara Alderley; the man she adores, the wickedly handsome Roger MontGeoffry; her grandmother, the duchess, who rules the family with cunning and wit; and her mother, the ineffably cruel, self-centered and licentious Diana. Like no other work, Through a Glass Darkly is infused with intrigue, sweetened by romance and awash in the black ink of betrayal.

* Sold 130,000 hardcover and 600,000 mass paperback
* New York Times bestseller for five consecutive months

PRAISE FOR THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY:

"A completely involving story...power, greed, family conflict, burning ambition and passion kindle the plot. Readers will be captivated!"
- Publishers Weekly

"Fast-paced and fun to read!"
- Glamour

"Engaging, elegant, chock full of sex and gossip."
- Philadelphia Inquirer

Oh my word, I LOVED Through a Glass Darkly when it came out! So far it's not showing up on the UK amazon site in Kindle format at all, but I'm going to keep checking.

And while I'm here, thank you for all the previous recommendations

I was showing my Kindle to a friend who is thinking of getting one, and she said "Why does it have "124" in brackets next to the word "Romance"?"

Hmmm...

I think I'll go with King of Darkness as my June selection. I'm a sucker (ha, ha) for a good vampire novel. Last month I chose The Goblin King. It was good not great but an enjoyable dark romance.

Through a Glass Darkly looks good, too. It'll be in my Kindle archive.

Right now I'm on a Fantasy kick and am on the third book in A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series by George R. R. Martin. Not a lot of romance but the world building is superb.

I believe I will be choosing the Elaine Coffman book, unless I find out it's a reprint.

I'm ambivalent about all of them, but this is my most likely pick. When you get done with it, please let us know what you think of it! Otherwise, I may take my chances and wait until next month.

The Lord of the Black Isle is not a reprint. It was the second of her newest books that Sourcebooks has released - the first being The Return of Black Douglas.

As a way of saying thank you to all of our MobileRead members, I just wanted to let you all know that we have also extended the 15% off coupon code "discover15" so that it is valid through the end of July.

Note, the coupon cannot be combined with other offers and cannot be used on the purchase of the membership.

We hope you enjoy June's featured selections and hope to see you at the author parties!

FYI. I was able to use my selection on a book thats not a current selection. Not sure if it was a previous one or not. I was going to buy the book anyway and couldn't make a decision about June's selection so it worked out great for me.

True. Note this only works from the time you became a member.

I'll probably go with The Officer Says "I Do". Or maybe I will save this month's credit. I haven't made up my mind yet.

ETA: I really want to read Honor Bound, the sequel to The Officer Says "I Do", but since I am a stickler for reading books in order feel I need to read this one first.

Blossom · 06-01-2012, 04:03 PM

I don't know yet what I will pick. I may hold off and see what next months is. There are some new releases though I plan to buy.

ATDrake · 06-01-2012, 04:13 PM

I'm waiting to see what next month's DANL selections will be. Everything for June is "no interest whatsoever" to "morbid curiosity, maybe" and it's usually not a good sign when I seem to know more about the historical period being written in than the author does.

However, it's really nice of the DANL people to extend the discover15 15% off coupon through July, and hopefully some more interesting-to-me backlist catalogue additions/bonus sale stuff shows up.

Through a Glass Darkly, US Kindle link, since no one had posted that yet.
