Playing It Cool
Playing It Cool by Amy Andrews is 99c! This is the second book in the Sydney Smoke Rugby series and features a fake relationship! Some readers thought the chemistry between the hero and heroine was top-notch, but some felt the ending was a bit rushed. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
Score one for the curvy girls!
Harper Nugent might have a little extra junk in her trunk, but her stepbrother calling her out on it is the last straw… When rugby hottie, Dexter Blake, witnesses the insult, he surprises Harper by asking her out. In front of her dumbass brother. Score! Of course, she knows it’s not for reals, but Dex won’t take no for an answer.
Dexter Blake’s life revolves around rugby with one hard and fast rule: no women. Sure, his left hand is getting a workout, but he’s focused on his career for now. Then he overhears an asshat reporter belittle the curvy chick he’d been secretly ogling. What’s a guy to do but ask her out? It’s just a little revenge against a poser, and then he’ll get his head back in the game.
But the date is better than either expected. So is the next one. And the next. And the heat between them…sizzles their clothes right off.
Suddenly, this fake relationship is feeling all too real…

Soul of Sin
Soul of Sin by Tracy Cooper-Posey is $2.99! This is the first book in the Scandalous Scions series, which is a spin-off of one of Cooper-Posey’s other series. The description is rather sparse, but I’m getting the hint that the heroine is a widow who truly loved her late husband. And Goodreads reviews mentioned the heroine is older than the hero!
Two broken hearts.
Lady Natasha Innesford, four years a widow, still cannot stir herself to live. Her life died with Seth.
Lord Raymond Marblethorpe, oldest son of Lady Elisa Farleigh, has loved the mysterious Susanna forever, but she can never be his.
Can they learn to let go of the past and love again?

Mark of the Demon
Mark of the Demon by Diana Rowland is 99c! This is the first book in the Kara Gillian series, which was recommended by several commenters in a Character Driven Urban Fantasy Rec League. Some people had an issue getting into the writing, while others loved the trope of an occult detective. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.
Cop and conjurer of demons, she’s a woman in danger of losing control—to a power that could kill….
Why me? Why now? That’s what Beaulac, Louisiana, detective Kara Gillian was asking herself when an angelic creature named Rhyzkahl unexpectedly appeared during a routine summoning. Kara was hoping to use her occult skills to catch a serial killer, but never had she conjured anything like this unearthly beautiful and unspeakably powerful being whose very touch set off exquisite new dimensions of pleasure. But can she enlist his aid in helping her stop a killer who’s already claimed the lives—and souls—of thirteen people? And should she? The Symbol Man is a nightmare that the city thought had ended three years ago. Now he’s back for an encore and leaving every indication on the flesh of his victims that he, too, is well versed in demonic lore.
Kara may be the only cop on Beaulac’s small force able to stop the killer, but it is her first homicide case. Yet with Rhyzkahl haunting her dreams, and a handsome yet disapproving FBI agent dogging her waking footsteps, she may be in way over her head…

Stolen Songbird
Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen is $1.99! This is a fantasy young adult novel and it’s the first book in the Malediction Trilogy. There are curses and troll princes and prophecies. The book has also been compared to Graceling, which I’ve really enjoyed. Readers praised a lot of things, from the heroine to the romance to the setting. However, with the book at nearly 500 pages, some readers complained it was a little too long and suffered from some pacing issues
For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.
But something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.
As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever.

Rugby Union World Cup starts next month, so one-click purchase of the Amy Andrews book is a catnip no-brainer for me. Off to one-click. Guess I better see if the rest of the series is on sale, and also hunt up the other steamy rugby romances in my Ebook Library to re-read as a pre-game warm-up! (Pun totally intended…) Thanks SBTB.
