The One You Can’t Forget
RECOMMENDED: The One You Can’t Forget by Roni Loren is 99c! I love this series and highly recommend any of the books in it. However, please be warned that it deals with the aftermath of a school shooting. The first book is FREE and the third is also discounted.
Most days Rebecca Lindt feels like an imposter…
The world admires her as a survivor. But that impression would crumble if people knew her secret. She didn’t deserve to be the one who got away. But nothing can change the past, so she’s thrown herself into her work. She can’t dwell if she never slows down.Wes Garrett is trying to get back on his feet after losing his dream restaurant, his money, and half his damn mind in a vicious divorce. But when he intervenes in a mugging and saves Rebecca―the attorney who helped his ex ruin him―his simple life gets complicated.
Their attraction is inconvenient and neither wants more than a fling. But when Rebecca’s secret is put at risk, both discover they could lose everything, including what they never realized they needed: each other
She laughed and kissed him. This morning she’d melted down. But somehow this man had her laughing and turned on only a few hours later. Everything inside her felt buoyed.
She felt…light.
She’d forgotten what that felt like.

Wild & Sweet by Rhenna Morgan is $2.99 at Amazon! This is the second book in the Haven Brotherhood series and has a blue collar, mechanic heroine, which is something you don’t see too often! Readers said this was a great new-to-them author and that the main characters had great chemistry. However, some took issue with the doctor hero’s ambiguous behavior.
Live hard, f*ck harder and make their own rules. Those are the cornerstones the six Men of Haven bleed by: taking what they want, always watching each other’s backs, and loving the women they claim with unyielding tenderness and fierce passion.
Zeke Dugan is not a man who walks the straight and narrow. He may have sworn an oath as a trauma doc, but he has zero problem leveraging his medical skills outside a hospital if it means giving his family an advantage. Blood before business. All that changes when shy Gabrielle stumbles into his life.
Mechanic Gabrielle Parker prefers the complexities of an engine over men. Her life wasn’t always quiet and well-ordered, but now that it is, she finds peace in the solitude. When a robbery in her neighborhood forces her out of her safe bubble, she never fathoms that a dangerous, cocky trauma doctor will fix more than her injuries.
Zeke doesn’t play by the rules but is exactly what Gabrielle needs in her life. He’ll show her the fierce and uncompromising protection that comes from belonging to a man like him. No one will hurt his woman, even if it means putting the very men who saved his life at risk.

The Charm School by Susan Wiggs is $1.99! This historical was originally published in 1999, and is about an awkward, shy young woman who sneaks aboard a ship bound for Rio (as you do). When the crew notice the attraction between her and the captain, they begin tutoring her in the the finer arts of being a confident young lady (yes way). This book has a much-loved Ugly Duckling storyline, and a 3.9-star average on GR.
An awkward misfit in an accomplished Boston family, Isadora Peabody yearns to escape her social isolation and sneaks aboard the Silver Swan, bound for Rio, leaving it all behind.
Ryan Calhoun, too, had a good family name. But he’d purposely walked away from everything it afforded him. Driven by his quest to right an old wrong, the fiery, temperamental sea captain barely registers the meek young woman who comes aboard his ship.
To the Swan’s motley crew, the tides of attraction clearly flow between the two. Teaching her the charms of a lady, they hope to build the confidence she needs to attract not only their lonely captain’s attention, but his heart, as well. For everyone knows the greatest charms are not those of the formal lady, but rather the possibilities of a new world built on love.

The Prize by Julie Garwood is $1.99! This is a medieval historical romance and a standalone. I have such a soft spot for Garwood’s historical romances, but this one isn’t my favorite. I’m team #TheBride. Have you read this one?
In the resplendence of William the Conqueror’s London court, the lovely Saxon captive, Nicholaa was forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chose Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor could not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. Resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to bend Royce to her will, despite the whirlwind of feelings he aroused in her. Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce was surprised by the depth of his emotion whenever he caressed his charming bride.
In a climate of utmost treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa revelled in their precious new love…a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin and country!

I’ve got all of Garwood’s historical, and this one is not on my favorites list. Mainly because the heroine is So. Damned. Annoying. Beginning with her name! I still don’t know how to pronounce the damn thing!
Live hard, f*ck harder and make their own rules.
I definitely would have thought this was a badass saying when I was like 13.
I love Julie Garwood historicals (hate the contemporaries) and I really like this one. Though it’s not my very favorite, it stands up well. The heroine (yes, just how do you pronounce that name??) is feisty and determined. I liked how she escaped the castle in the beginning and how she ultimately chooses Royce. I like how Royce deals with her injured younger brother. It’s books like these that make me long for the Julie Garwood of the 1990s. Her contemporary books don’t come close.
Nicholaa? Wtf? For the sake of all that is decent and right, drop the extra “a”!
I’d pronounce “Nicholaa” like Nikola Tesla or Nicola Pizza but with an “aahh” at the end like a halfhearted cry fading into the distance.
@JJB: I was thinking it rhymed with Ricola, like the cough drops.
Yeah, when I read that name, it sounded exactly like the Ricola coughdrops commercial: Niiiiiii-co-laaaaaaa.
Do you suppose Garwood’s character name was intended to be pronounced Nicholay-a?
I wanted to enjoy the Rhenna Morgan books. I think I may have been more tolerant when I was younger. But as I get older, I have way less tolerance for asshole-foolery such as being “claimed” by your lover. There is a lot of decisions being made for the good of the heroine based on the hero’s “superior decision-making abilities” rather than informing the heroine about what is actually going on.
Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid is on sale for $1.99
The Loren is part of a group of free title from Sourcebooks right now, including one of my favorites, Isabel Cooper’s time-travel fantasy No Proper Lady.

“A Taste of Honey“ by Rose Lerner is .99.
I am currently reading The One You Can’t Forget from my library, otherwise I would buy it, because wow! It’s wonderful. The hero isn’t even my type (that’s a funny if you’ve read the book) but I adore him. Grab it if you can!
Thank you @Amanda C! I’ve been waiting for Dr Strange Beard to go on sale for forever.
The Loren series is so underrated. It works so well as a romance series, and some might argue that it wouldn’t because of it’s plot elements. And this just makes me miss Wiggs writing historicals all the more.
The Prize isn’t my absolute favorite Garwood, but it’s still good.
I’m not finding anything about how to pronounce “Nicholaa” but if you can lose all the pages insisting you want to read about “Nicholas” it is possible to determine it’s a real name. One page I found (unfortunately in a pro-Brexit page) makes a reference to Lincoln castle being held by a woman named “Nicholaa de la Haye in 1217. I can’t find much else.
I loved The Prize! It has been on my keeper shelf for years. I think there a few super sweet scenes in the book, plus there is a brief power reversal at the beginning or middle of the book (it’s been awhile since I have read it) that I always loved.
