In His Command
In His Command by Rie Warren is $1.99! This is a M/M dystopian romance and is the first book in the Don’t Tell series. It also seems to have a bit of a bodyguard plot and I know that’s some heavy catnip! Some readers felt the post-apocalyptic setting was a little too dark and depressing at times, but many really enjoy the two heroes. In GoodReads reviews, the term “alpha males” is thrown around a lot. It has a 3.5-star rating on GR.
In the dystopian future, two men discover attraction isn’t just dangerous, it’s deadly.
Two generations ago, the world was annihilated by a series of catastrophic environmental events. The remaining survivors were driven closer and closer to big city centers-damaged but not destroyed-divvied into sixteen identical international territories ruled by the Company.
Oppressive to the core, the Company has one rule in order to recoup the world’s devastated population: homosexuality and deviant sexual behaviors are hanging offenses. First time offenders are last-time offenders.
It is the year 2070. Commander Caspar Cannon has a stellar military reputation-and a life-threatening secret. When a revolution rips through the territories, Cannon is ordered to escort Company Executive Nathaniel Rice to a secure location. Leaving the besieged city behind, their journey becomes a minefield of sabotage, betrayal, secrets . . . and intense desire for one another.
Cannon’s militant self-repression takes a direct hit, his suspicions warring with passion for a man who can never be his, not while the Company remains in power. True to his mission, he delivers Nathaniel to the safe bunker where a fate he never expected awaits him.

The Falconer
The Falconer by Elizabeth May is $1.99! I’ve actually been eyeing this title for a while. This is YA with a historical/steampunk bent. There also seem to be faeries. A few reviewers compared the book to a YA version of Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series ( A | K | G | AB | Au ), which was either a big selling point or a major drag depending on the reader. Anyone care to add their two cents?

Dear Girls Above Me
Dear Girls Above Me by Charlie McDowell is $1.99! DGAM started out as a either a blog or twitter account. I think it’s the former, but it’s been so long since I followed either religiously. This guy, Charlie, moved into an apartment and his upstairs neighbors were two women, so he started recording their quotes and writing these mini open letters to them. I should also mention that Charlie is the son of Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. I should also note that the book is more like a memoir, rather than a collection of these quotes/responses.
Based on the wildly popular Twitter feed Dear Girls Above Me, a roman Ă clef about how thinking like a couple of girls turned one single guy into a better man.
When Charlie McDowell began sharing his open letters to his noisy upstairs neighbors—two impossibly ditzy female roommates in their mid-twenties—on Twitter, his feed quickly went viral. His followers multiplied and he got the attention of everyone from celebrities to production studios to major media outlets such as Time and Glamour. Now Dear Girlsbreaks out of the 140-character limit as Charlie imagines what would happen if he put the wisdom of the girls to the test.
After being unceremoniously dumped by the girl he was certain was “the one,” Charlie realized his neighbors’ conversations were not only amusing, but also offered him access to a completely uncensored woman’s perspective on the world. From the importance of effectively Facebook-stalking potential girlfriends and effortlessly pulling off pastel, to learning when in the early stages of dating is too presumptuous to bring a condom and how to turn food poisoning into a dieting advantage, the girls get Charlie into trouble, but they also get him out of it—without ever having a clue of their impact on him.

Boy, do I need to get some glasses. I thought the third book’s title was Dead Girls Above Me.
@L
That would be a… very interesting book, though not necessarily a memoir.
@SB Sarah
One would hope.
@ L – i did the same thing and that was with my glasses on AND i only realised my mistake after i read your comment so well…you’re at least one up on me 🙂
