Book The Beach House

 The Beach House (and there are, like, eight books with that title) by Georgia Bockoven, is $1.99 right now. Some reviewers loved the easy writing style and the starting over storyline, but others felt it was too light and forgettable. It was originally published in 1997.

 Georgia Bockoven aims straight for the heart in a tale as timeless as waves beating against the shore. The beach house is a peaceful summer heaven, a place to escape mundane troubles.

Here, four families find their feelings intensified and their lives transformed. With equal measures of heartbreak and happiness, this unforgettable story tells of the beauty of life and the power of love, and speaks to every woman who has ever clung to a child or loved a man.

When thirty-year-old Julia, mourning the death of her husband, decides to sell the Santa Cruz beach house they owned together, she changes the lives of all the families who rent it year after year. Teenaged Chris discovers the bittersweet joy of first love.

Maggie and Joe, married sixty-five years, courageously face a separation that even their devotion cannot prevent. The married woman Peter yearns for suddenly comes within his reach. And Julia ultimately finds the strength to rebuild her life–something she once thought impossible.

 Book TylerTyler by CH Amirand is $2.99 digitally. This is a contemporary cowboy romance about a young man who becomes a stripper to save his family ranch.

 Desperate times call for desperate measures…

When Tyler Garahan said he'd do anything to save his family's ranch, he never thought that would include taking a job as a stripper at a local ladies' club. But the club's fiery redheaded bookkeeper captures Tyler's attention, and for her, he'll swallow his pride. 

And one good turn deserves another…

Emily Langley feels for the gorgeous cowboy. It's obvious that he's the real deal and wouldn't be caught dead in a ladies' revue if he wasn't in big trouble. And when he looks at her like that, she'll do anything to help.

Working days on the ranch and nights at the ladies' club, Tyler is plumb exhausted. But could it be that his beautiful boss needs him just as much as he needs her.

 Book Love Drunk Cowboy

 

 

Love Drunk Cowboy is $2.99 digitally. This is book 1 in Carolyn Brown's Spikes and Spurs series. Many readers I've talked to at RT love Brown's books, but I can't get into them.

She's a self-made city girl…

High-powered career woman Austin Lanier suddenly finds herself saddled with an inherited watermelon farm deep in the countryside. She's determined to sell the farm, until her new, drop-dead sexy neighbor Rye O'Donnell shows up…

He's as intoxicating as can be…

Rancher Rye O'Donnell thinks he's going to get a good deal on his dream property—until he meets the fiery new owner. Rye is knocked sideways when he realizes that not only is Granny Lanier's city-slicker granddaughter a savvy businesswoman, she's also sexy as hell…

Suddenly Rye is a whole lot less interested in real estate and a whole lot more focused on getting Austin to set aside her stiletto heels…

 Book Emily's Reasons Why NotEmily's Reasons Why Not is $1.99, or .99 if you're Amazon. This is a novel that's best described as 'chick lit' though I wish there were a better term for 'contemporary fiction, female protagonist, romance secondary.' Anyway, it has mixed reviews: some folks loved it, others found the tense changes confusing and the heroine whiny.

 Though her (biological) clock is furiously ticking away, entertainment publicity pro extraordinaire Emily Sanders didn't hear the starting bell. Hitting thirty and watching her best friends settle down, she too wants to have the life that once upon a time … wished upon a star … she dreamed she'd have: the house, the kids, the perfect man.

But in L.A., where image is everything, “where every beauty pageant winner is an eight in a sea of nines all wishing they were Julia Roberts,” finding true love isn't easy. Especially when boyfriend material includes a beautiful young surfer god, an aging music executive, the boss's boss's boss, and a baseball player with two cell phones (one of which Emily doesn't have the number to).

With her confidence heading due south like everything else on her body, Emily turns to a smart, sharp-eyed psychotherapist who helps her get past the “flutter, flutter,” her old time-tested method for picking the wrong guy. Soon she finds herself able to spot “the reasons,” the previously invisible flags of a destined-to-fail relationship, and narrow her focus to stop looking for Mr. Right and learn how to start looking out for Mr. Wrong.

Emily's Reasons Why Not is for everyone who has ever wasted her time chasing down the wrong guy for the right reasons, wondering “why” and “when is it going to happen for me?” With the edge of an insider, but the heart of a dreamer, the disarming and unflappable Emily meshes her views on the entertainment industry she works in, the men she's dated, the therapy sessions she mulled over, and “the one” she knows is out there for every woman … including herself.

    I just wanted to add that Bec McMaster’s Tarnished Knight (London Steampunk) is now free for kindle on Amazon.com.  It’s a follow up the pretty darn entertaining but somewhat flawed Kiss of Steel.

    Thank you for the heads up!
