  • Starlight

    Starlight by Carrie Lofty

    Starlight by Carrie Lofty is $1.99! And gosh, do I love this cover. This is the second book in the Christies historical romance series. The hero is an astronomer and the heroine has to play tour guide and show him around Scotland. A couple reviews on Goodreads recommend this for fans of North & South. (I personally prefer the BBC series over the book, which features a young Richard Armitage and is a series I highly recommend.) However, some felt the romance was a little rushed. Has anyone read this one?

    Passion sparkles forever in the shining eyes of a true love.

    Sir William Christie, ruthless tycoon and notorious ladies’ man, is dead. Now his four grown children have gathered for the reading of his will. What lies in store for stepsiblings Vivienne, Alexander, and twins Gareth and Gwyneth? Stunning challenges that will test their fortitude across a royal empire . . . and lead them to the marvelously passionate adventures of their lives.

    An esteemed astronomer, Alex Christie, the eldest and most steadfast of the Christie siblings, has never possessed his late father’s ruthless business drive. But to protect his frail infant son from his cruel father-in-law’s bid for custody, the young widower must undertake Sir William Christie’s posthumous million-dollar challenge: to make a Glasgow cotton mill profitable. At sea in an industrial world of sabotage and union agitation, Alex meets Polly Gowan, daughter of a famed union leader, who hopes to seize a mysterious saboteur without involving the police.

    Because a sympathetic mill master would aid her cause, Polly becomes Alex’s guide to urban Scotland. From soccer games to pub brawls, Alex sees another side of life, and feels free for the first time to reveal the man–vital and strong–behind his intellectual exterior. Polly is utterly seduced. Their ambitions, however, remain at odds: Alex vows to earn the mill bonus to save his child, while Polly fights for the needs of her people. Is there strength enough in their sparkling passion to bind them together in their quests– and in a lasting love that conquers all?

  • Easy Target

    Easy Target by Kay Thomas

    Easy Target by Kay Thomas is 99c! This romantic suspense is the third book in the Elite Ops series. Many advise that the books in the series should be read in order as the plot and action carries through the books, but it can be read as a standalone, if you’re just anxious to get your hands on this one. Any Kay Thomas fans in the Bitchery?

    AEGIS: an elite team of ex-military men who will do anything for their country…and their women…

    Fighting to clear her brother of murder, freelance reporter Sassy Smith is suddenly kidnapped and thrown into a truck with other women who are about to be sold…or worse. When she sees an opportunity for escape Sassy takes it, but she may have just jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

    Former Marine Bryan Fisher (aka Hollywood) is no stranger to dangerous situations, or to his best friend’s little sister. When he rescues Sassy, Bryan is determined to keep her safe…if he can keep his hands off of her. Because Sassy is all grown up and not at all like the girl he used to know. But he’s got bigger problems. And with enemies coming at them from every corner, Bryan and Sassy will need to work together if they’re going to survive.

  • Again the Magic

    Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas

    Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas is listed as book .5 of the Wallflowers series and is $3.99! Some readers adored the betrayal/redemption storyline, while others were frustrated at the heroine for keeping secrets for so long. The heroes, primary and secondary, in this book are wonderful. And if you’re looking to stock up on some more Kleypas, a couple of her other titles are available for $3.99!

    She gave him her innocence…

    Lady Aline Marsden was brought up for one reason: to make an advantageous marriage to a member of her own class. Instead, she willingly gave her innocence to John McKenna, a servant on her father’s estate. Their passionate transgression was unforgivable—John was sent away, and Aline was left to live in the countryside…an exile from London society…

    …and he took her love.

    Now McKenna has made his fortune, and he has returned—more boldly handsome and more mesmerizing than before. His ruthless plan is to take revenge on the woman who shattered his dreams of love. But the magic between them burns as bright as ever. And now he must decide whether to let vengeance take its toll…or risk everything for his first, and only, love.

  • Loving Dallas

    Loving Dallas by Caisey Quinn

    Loving Dallas by Caisey Quinn is $1.99! This New Adult romance is the second book in the Neon Dream series, and is a romance between a country musician and a marketing coordinator. This is also a second chance romance! Readers mentioned that the continuing books in the series aren’t quite sequels, but more like “companion” novels in which other characters are now the protagonists in the books’ events and plotlines. Does that make sense? I need more coffee probably. The book also has a 4.2+ avg on GR.

    In the second novel in bestselling author Caisey Quinn’s Neon Dreams series, a country rock band and its members embark on the rocky road to fame and find love along the way.

    Dallas Lark is so close to achieving his dream of making it big in country music that he can taste it. Arriving in Nashville after signing with sexy, successful manager Mandy Lantram, his life goes from tragedy and turmoil to one lucky break after another—except it isn’t really luck because Dallas has sacrificed everything for his career, leaving behind his band, sister, best friend, and high school sweetheart, Robyn, in the pursuit of fame.

    Robyn Breeland is a successful marketing coordinator and promotions specialist for a thriving liquor distributor out of Texas. She loves every aspect of her job: coming up with new ideas, traveling, hosting promotional parties and exclusive events—until it brings her face-to-face with the man who broke her heart, prompting her to erect a steel cage around it.

    When their paths collide and they’re forced to work together, Dallas and Robyn realize that the old spark they thought they’d extinguished might still be a burning flame.

  • Grave Intentions

    Grave Intentions by Lori Sjoberg

    Grave Intentions by Lori Sjoberg is currently FREE at most vendors! For those couple sites that aren’t offering the book for free, it’s on sale for $2.99. This is the first book in the Grave series. Though the action is a little slow going, readers found this book to be a refreshing story in the paranormal romance genre. It has a 3.7-star rating on GR.

    He’s handsome, reliable, and punctual—the perfect gentleman when you want him to be. But this dream man is Death’s best agent—and now he’s got more than his soul to lose…

    One act of mercy before dying was all it took to turn soldier David Anderson into a reaper—an immortal who guides souls-of-untimely-death into the afterlife. But the closer he gets to atoning for his mortal sin and finally escaping merciless Fate, the more he feels his own humanity slipping away for good. Until he encounters Sarah Griffith. This skeptical scientist can’t be influenced by his powers—even though she has an unsuspected talent for sensing the dead. And her honesty and irreverent sense of humor reignite his reason for living—and a passion he can’t afford to feel. Now Fate has summoned David to make a devastating last harvest. And he’ll break every hellishly-strict netherworld rule to save Sarah…and gamble on a choice even an immortal can’t win.

  1. A couple of thoughts. First:

    “freelance reporter Sassy Smith”

    She’s so sassy, her parents named her Sassy! I hate that word. Please, sassy, go away.

    Second: Loving Dallas is supposed to be New Adult, and yet the heroine is a “successful marketing coordinator and promotions specialist,” while the hero is an up-and-coming country star. How does a book featuring two people with established and successful careers qualify as New Adult? Isn’t that just Adult Adult? How old are these prodigies? Did they graduate high school at the age of thirteen and become freakishly successful as soon as they attained their majority?

    Is there a term for genres that keep expanding until they merge indistinguishably into other genres, kind of like how Christmas paraphernalia now sits on shelves next to Halloween decorations? I nominate “genre creep” as the term, if there isn’t already another one.

  2. Amanda says:

    @Dread Pirate Rachel: I think New Adult is still being defined as a genre. Yes, I think the ages of the characters come into play, and I know this has been talked about here, but I think the NA genre is more about find yourself and those experiences most people have in their 20s of “firsts” – first career/real job, first apartment, establishing a life without parents around, etc. So less about age constraints and more about particular themes and growth.

  3. @Amanda, Don’t mind me. I’m just feeling extra curmudgeonly today.

  4. CelineB says:

    I recently read Starlight on Scribd (it’s no longer on the site) and didn’t love it. The romance was rushed and I often felt as if I’d missed something in the narrative but when I went back a few pages to check, I hadn’t. Part of my problem with it may have been that I’d read Longing by Mary Balogh a few days before. It has a similar plot as Starlight but with better developed characters. I highly recommend that one but, of course, it costs a lot more than $1.99 right now.

  5. Amanda says:

    @Dread Pirate Rachel: Oh don’t worry! Wednesdays will do that to ya. 🙂

  6. flchen1 says:

    I don’t remember feeling that way about the romance in Starlight, but I did love the story and the less common (to me) setting. I keep hoping for more in the Christies series from Carrie Lofty…

    And LOL, @Dread Pirate Rachel–I do agree that the whole genre creep thing is getting out of hand! Or maybe that’s just me feeling curmudgeonly too…

  7. Olivia says:

    fyi, The Naked Duke by Sally MacKenzie is $1.99, I love her stuff!

    Strangely enough I wanted to reread Wallflowers series but forgot Again, the Magic at my mom’s house, seeing her in three weeks but also sooo tempted to just get the e-book, ugh e-books feed the impulse buying waay too much.

  8. Jennifer in GA says:

    The second book in the Christies series is also on sale for $.99.

    What happened with the photoshop on the ‘Loving Dallas’ cover?

  10. […] first three albums, we had maybe a solid decade of musicians looking back to a time before electric guitars to find an alternate path forward (as Radiohead themselves largely traded guitars for […]

  11. Diane says:

    You all may have had this discussion already, and if so, I apologize. I’m not particularly a prude and was always out and proud of my romance novels and did not think too much about what people thought their covers when I read real versus digital books. But these days I’m really happy I’m reading digital books because I’m so tired of pornographic covers, whether it is men or women. Sometimes it seems like I’m looking at Playboy or Playgirl, or whatever instead of at the cover of a book I want to read. I’m tired of seeing just some mans abs on a cover, where did his head, legs and arms go? Are his abs a story point, discussed ad nauseum? Or the naked backs of women whose bodies I can never achieve, first because they are illustrations and not real, but second because the model might actually look that way and there is no way I can achieve that shape. Will I not enjoy these books if I use the wonderful words and passages the author gave me to enjoy without seeing these unrealistic people in my head as I read?

    I acknowledge many of the covers, particularly historicals of the 1980’s and 1990’s had lots of chestage of both sexes. But it didn’t bother me as much as the covers do these days. I’d be curious to know what others think of this.

  12. Rose says:

    @ flchen1 Lofty posted a few months ago that she’s finally started working on Diva (Gwen’s story), which will hopefully be published next year.

    Starlight isn’t great (Flawless was better), but it’s pretty good and definitely worth checking out at that price. The description of Polly is a tour guide, though… hardly.

  13. I highly recommend His Road Home.

    Am reading Again the Magic right now, after getting it in the RWA conference bag. I don’t like it quite as much as the other historical romances I’ve read by Kleypas, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Possibly it means that I’ve read too many of her books in the past few months and should take a break…
