There is a TON of Johanna Lindsey on sale right now, and looking at all the books for $1.99 and $3.79 can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the Bitchery (and y'all pretty much know everything) are here to help.
Awhile back we compiled a “Which One First?” for Johanna Lindsey's books, and among the top recommended books were the Malory series. The first six books in the series are part of the digital sale.
Love Only Once (Malory #1) $3.49 – $3.99 (depending on the retailer)
The exquisite niece of Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory, Regina Ashton is outraged over her abduction by the arrogant, devilishly handsome Nicholas Eden—and is determined to make the rogue pay . . . with his heart.
A golden-haired seducer, Nicholas has been hardened by a painful secret in his past. And now that he has besmirched Reggie's good name, the hot-tempered lady has vowed to wed him. Her fiery beauty stirs Nicholas as no woman ever has—and the rake arouses Reggie's passion to an unendurable level. Such uncontrolled desires can lead only to dangerous misunderstandings . . . and, perhaps, to a love that can live only once in a lifetime.

Tender Rebel (Malory #2) $3.49-3.99 (depending on retailer)
Scottish beauty Roslynn Chadwick needs the safety of marriage to protect her from an unscrupulous cousin and the fortune-hunting scoundrels who covet her wealth. And Anthony Malory is precisely the sort of handsome rogue she's been warned against.
A cunning, ruthless, yet irresistible rake, Anthony's sensual blue eyes speak of pleasures beyond her imagining—and Roslynn dearly wishes she dared to surrender to such a man. Believing his passionate promises will surely lead to disaster. But denying her heart may cost the exquisite Highlands lady an unparalleled love hotter than flame and more precious than the rarest jewel.

Heartsick and desperate to return home to America, Georgina Anderson boards the Maiden Anne disguised as a cabin boy, never dreaming she'll be forced into intimate servitude at the whim of the ship's irrepressible captain, James Mallory.
The black sheep of a proud and tempestuous family, the handsome ex-pirate once swore no woman alive could entice him into matrimony. But on the high seas his resolve will be weakened by an unrestrained passion and by the high-spirited beauty whose love of freedom and adventure rivals his own.

The Magic of You (Malory #4) $3.49-$3.99 (depending on retailer)
As wild and reckless as the most incorrigible of her male cousins, Amy Malory has reached a marriageable age and has set her sights on a most inappropriate mate: the straight-laced American ship captain who once nearly had her Uncle James hung for piracy.
Warren Anderson is shocked by the brazen advances of his despised enemy's beautiful niece. Though determined to resist her, he burns for the enchanting British minx. And an impassioned heart implores him to surrender to a love that could stoke the smouldering fires of a family feud into a dangerous, all consuming blaze.

Say You Love Me (Malory #5) $3.14-$3.99 depending on retailer
Left penniless and in dire straits, Kelsey Langton realizes that only by allowing herself to be sold at auction can she rescue her sister's future. So the proud, desperate lady enters the infamous House of Eros, resigned to becoming some well-heeled gentleman's plaything — and Lord Derek Malory is the highest bidder for Kelsey's charms.
A handsome and irredeemable scoundrel, Derek soon draws the sensuous, unsuspecting maiden into a world of unparalleled pleasures and dangerous rivalries. But Kelsey knows she must always guard the secret of her highborn past — even as her grace, spirit, and beauty entice her new “master” to renounce his scandalous ways and take a gamble on true love.

The Present (Malorys #6) $0.99 – $1.99
As the entire Malory family gathers at Haverston to celebrate the season, a mysterious present arrives anonymously. The gift is an old journal — a tender and tempestuous account of the love affair between the second Marquis, Christopher Malory, and a dark gypsy beauty named Anastasia, who seeks a love match with a non-gypsy in order to save herself from a prearranged marriage to a brute. Though the dashing English lord Anastasia sets her sight upon burns for the exquisite, exotic miss, Christopher could never consent to wed such a lowborn lady.
But miracles have been known to happen in this season of peace and giving and love, as two extraordinary people seperated by cicumstance of birth begin a passionate dance of will and wiles. And in the miraculous blossoming of a glorious romance at a long ago Christmastime, there are wise and well-learned lessons that will enrich the hearts of the Malory descendants — and, indeed, of everyone who has ever dreamed.

There are other Lindseys on sale, and you can see the complete list at Amazon or BN, for example, sorted by price.
I think I might be in for a Gentle Rogue weekend. What about you? Any of these sound tempting?
okay, I never thought I’d be sad to already own the complete Mallory series. This does make me want to re-read Gentle Rogue (probably my favorite) this weekend. Sooo many books, so little time.
The magic of you. My favorite Lindsey, without a doubt. I <3 Warren. And when he finally succumbs to his desire… Sigh. Guess what I will be reading this weekend…
I have been waiting for this day for so long! I’ve been reading mostly free books to keep by budget on track, but I think I can spring for a few of Lindsey’s at these prices. Merry early Christmas to me!
Darn, now you’ve tempted me. Oh dear. Must. not. 1-click.
And now I’ve done it. 😉
Excited! Gentle Rogue started my romance novel addiction in my tender pre-teen years. Ah, James…
Would love to try these, but not on sale in Oz, again
This is very very bad for my bank account…
I’m picking up some of her novels in print after the holidays. (Despite the warnings, I’m actually starting with the Ly-San-Ter series.) But the Malorys are on on my TBR list, so thanks for this! 😉
After that list came out, I read the first several Mallory books, then I realized that I didn’t really like any of them. I did the “but people like them so I’ll keep reading for a while and try to see what I’m missing” thing for a few more books in the series, then I decided that despite all the love for her writing here, she’s just not for me. Isn’t it weird how we can keep reading through sheer stubbornness? And I’m one of those people who usually finds it pretty easy to stop reading if a book isn’t grabbing me.
My entire collection of Lindsay is in my shed in a Sterlite container. I don’t know if I can even get it! I saved those all of her books so I could read them again someday. I’ll wait until Spring and clean out the shed! It’s too cold now.
I guess It shall be Lindsey week.
