Just want to say thank you to everyone who has been leaving comments about deals! I was on vacation visiting family and going to Disney for the past week, and I really appreciate you all pointing the way to more book deals.
Sorcerer to the Crown
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho is $1.99! I thought we had reviewed this, but I seem to be wrong. We did, however, mention this book on a couple podcast episodes. This is a fantasy novel with some alternate history thrown in. Overall, readers seemed to love the cast of characters, but warn it’s slow to start.
Magic and mayhem collide with the British elite in this whimsical and sparkling debut.
At his wit’s end, Zacharias Wythe, freed slave, eminently proficient magician, and Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers—one of the most respected organizations throughout all of Britain—ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why England’s magical stocks are drying up.
But when his adventure brings him in contact with a most unusual comrade, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, he sets on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain—and the world at large…

The Serpent by Sarah Fine is $1.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in the urban fantasy the Immortal Dealers series. It was just released this July and I mentioned it on a previous Hide Your Wallet. Like with many new urban fantasy series, it can be a rocky start as readers get their footing with the worldbuilding. And this one is no exception, but readers say it ultimately delivers.
One woman is in a world of otherworldly trouble—and she’s going to have to bet her life to save humankind.
Ernestine “Ernie” Terwilliger has put her dreams aside to look after her eccentric mother. Case in point: saving her from a mysterious stranger who’s just stormed the terrified woman’s antique store wearing a rattlesnake tattoo, leveling threats, and brandishing the weirdest deck of cards Ernie’s ever seen.
When Ernie grabs some of the cards and runs, she’s launched into a world she never knew existed—one her mother may know more about than she’s revealing. With a handful of stolen cards, Ernie has just been made an unwilling player in a game of good versus evil. But she’s not even playing with a full deck, and its original owner is more than happy to kill to get his cards back.
Suddenly Ernie’s matching wits and plays with the supernatural Immortal Dealers, who can raise empires, damn souls, and shape the world’s destiny. It’s up to Ernie to defeat the most brutal member of their order. And if her roguish new ally isn’t bluffing, he can help. The mystery is all in the cards, and to save her life—and humanity—Ernie had better learn how to deal.

Crossing Hearts by Kimberly Kincaid is 99c at Amazon! This is a small town contemporary romance and the first in a series. The second book is also on sale. Readers loved the hero in this one, but felt the book could have been cut down by about fifty pages.
Hunter Cross has no regrets. Having left his football prospects behind the day he graduated high school, he’s happy to carry out his legacy on his family’s farm in the foothills of the Shenandoah. But when a shoulder injury puts him face-to-face with the high school sweetheart who abandoned town—and him—twelve years ago, Hunter’s simple life gets a lot more complicated.
Emerson Montgomery has secrets. Refusing to divulge why she left her job as a hotshot physical therapist for a pro football team, she struggles to readjust to life in the hometown she left behind. The more time she spends with Hunter, the more Emerson finds herself wanting to trust him with the diagnosis of MS that has turned her world upside down.
But revealing secrets comes with a price. Can Hunter and Emerson rekindle their past love? Or will the realities of the present—and the trust that goes with them—burn that bridge for good?

Surrender of a Siren by Tessa Dare is $1.99! This is book two in the Wanton Dairymaid Trilogy, though I believe it can be read on its own. There are some forced proximity elements, if that’s your catnip. Some readers found the heroine frustrating, while others said this one was better than Goddess of the Hunt.
New author Tessa Dare takes passion to the high seas in this steamy tale of a runaway bride and a devilishly disarming privateer.
Desperate to escape a loveless marriage and society’s constraints, pampered heiress Sophia Hathaway jilts her groom, packs up her paints and sketchbook, and assumes a new identity, posing as a governess to secure passage on the Aphrodite. She wants a life of her own: unsheltered, unconventional, uninhibited. But it’s one thing to sketch her most wanton fantasies, and quite another to face the dangerously handsome libertine who would steal both her virtue and her gold.
To any well-bred lady, Benedict “Gray” Grayson is trouble in snug-fitting boots. A conscienceless scoundrel who sails the seas for pleasure and profit, Gray lives for conquest–until Sophia’s perception and artistry stir his heart. Suddenly he’ll brave sharks, fire, storm, and sea just to keep her at his side. She’s beautiful, refined, and ripe for seduction. Could this counterfeit governess be a rogue’s redemption? Or will the runaway heiress’s secrets destroy their only chance at love?

HATE NOTES by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward was released today and is free (just for today, I believe) if you have Amazon Prime.
In re the Tessa Dare book: “trouble in snug-fitting boots”? his BOOTS?
Diamond Fire, the new Hidden Legacy novella, is $1.99, though it looks as though that might be regular price. It’s worth noting, though, as the normal price of the regular novels are relatively high.
@DiscoDollyDeb
Hate Notes is not free (or no longer free?)on Amazon Prime. It is available on Kindle Unlimited. But otherwise it is listed as $3.99 for Kindle which is not a bad price but I am pretty cheap I will have to rotate it to the head of my huge KU waitlist.
@KellyM: I downloaded it free this morning by clicking the little Prime check mark next to the book—but I see it’s sayng that I “borrowed” the book as part of Prime Reading. So I guess it will just disappear from my kindle when time is up, but I’m already halfway through it now, so should finish it before it’s taken away.
I am all about the heroine in Sorcerer! The book begins focusing on the hero ( I think… been a long time) but really amps up when she appears. And the climax is fantastic plotting!
Lisa Kleypas’s The Devil in Winter (book 3 in her Wallflowers series) is $1.99 at Amazon. It’s hard for me to believe anyone would have been waiting around for a sale on this popular historical, but if you did, now is your moment!
@DiscoDollyDeb: Prime Reading is like KU with a curated selection. A book you borrow will stay on your device until you “return” it, so no need to rush!
If you have Prime you get one free book from the KU library a month. It’s called the Kindle Lending Library. That’s probably what happened with @DiscoDollyDeb. You can keep it however long you want, but if you checked it out today and kept it until January you basically forfeit you free book for December. If you return it any time between 12/1 and 12/31 you can check out another one that day or up to the end of the month. This is different from the Prime Reading which works more like KU with a much smaller library.
I will say I’ve had KU for several months so if there’s been any change to that system in that time period I wouldn’t know. I do know that I still have latest by Penny Reid and LS Cosway checked out under that system plus my 10 from KU.
Here’s a guide:

@Amanda – you were at Disney? My ears just perked up as Walt Disney World is my absolute favorite place on earth!
@Katie C: I was! I’m originally from FL, so I was visiting family. My boyfriend and I spent 3 days there after our visit. I haven’t been in twenty years and so much as changed!
Actually I just got an email from Penelope Ward saying it is in Prime Reading for a limited time. So it sounds like it should be in that library and you wouldn’t need to use your Kindle Lending Library book on it. Maybe they’re having technical issues.
I’m glad y’all mentioned the Kindle Lending Library. I’d forgotten about it and my Kindle pet peeve is that KU books aren’t available through local libraries. I’m such an idiot! I just made a list of KU books that I’ve been wanting to read so I can borrow them.
Thank you, Deborah! I am late to the game on this series and have been waiting for a sale. I would have missed it if not for your comment!
Prime reading allows to borrow 10 Prime Reading items at time (a mix of books and periodicals). They stay in your library until you return them. I borrowed Hate Notes just now.
@MaryK I think a lot of people forgot about the Kindle Lending Library when they added Prime Reading, but the Lending Library you can pick from the entire KU library on top of the 10 books you can check out with Prime Reading so it’s a good thing to take advantage of!
Yeah, my Kindle Lending Library doesn’t work. For whatever reason ever since I had KU I cannot use the Prime Lending Library. Amazon cannot figure it out. They are “baffled” as to why my Lending Library is broken. They are unable to fix it for reasons. So they have added months onto my KU subscription and my Prime as a consolation prize of sorts.
So it is great for those of you that can take advantage of the Prime Lending Library. I recommend you do.
@KellyM Looks like I need to email Amazon. I checked out Hate Notes and it made me return a KU one instead of using my Prime. Usually I can get Prime books on top of my KU books. I still have my Kindle Lending Library one out from before I signed up for KU, but I know once I return it I won’t be able to replace it while I have KU. I just assumed from past experience that you couldn’t get both. Now that I know I should be getting them I’ll have to email Amazon to see if they can extend my memberships as well.
the heroine on that Tessa Dare cover looks like romance novel!Leslie Knope.
Sorcerer to the Crown is not on sale on Amazon – The kindle book is $10.25 and the paperback $10.20 🙁 and this was a story I could really have sunk my teeth into …
@Karenza – I just checked and I’m seeing $1.99. I read this book BTW and I like it a lot.
@ Celine B.
Yes, you should be getting both. If you have Prime you should get to use the Prime Lending Library and Kindle Unlimited is a paid subscription They are completely separate subscriptions They are supposed to be anyway but apparently there is a glitch- at least me.
I have had KU for a few years and I have tried periodically to see if Amazon can fix my PL via Chat, but I have to get in the right frame of mind to get handed off to different Customer Service and Tech Support only to hearing the inevitable, “Hmm, this is strange. We will forward the problem and contact you (via email). It becomes depressingly pointless to me. I figured I was the only one.
Anyway, I have *coughs* thousands of books on my TBR. (Yeah…we all have our vices, don’t judge lol). I am really not missing my one book a month from PL. It does bug me, when I think about it. I used to use PL all the time prior to my KU/PL issues. I made sure I read the one book a month so I could get optimal usage from PL. Now I max out my 10 books on KU, and have a long wait list.
As a side note: I don’t get a Prime check mark next to Kindle books anymore. I have had Prime since its inception and they handed me a free year that first year and it was just for shipping.
Also, I love KU and save a ton of money on Kindle books. I have never paid full price for my KU subscription. I am all about the sales. My husband hates to see me come home from shopping sales but my Kindle book hoarding is my dirty little secret….shhh.
@Amanda – I hope you enjoyed it and, yes, a ton has changed in the last 20 years. My husband and I went on our honeymoon there in 2007 (it was his first trip there and I am glad he fell in love with it!) and have been back almost every year since then. This year, we also took my mom and his mom too – his mom had lasted visited in 2003 and my mom in 2005, so it was fun to see all the changes through their eyes!
