The Beautiful Ashes
The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost is $1.99! This is the first book in her Broken Destiny series, which is a New Adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy. I like the new cover design, despite the model looking like he’s mid Thanos snap.
Sometimes, falling in love really is the end of the world… don’t miss this fan-favorite tale from New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost.
Ivy has always seen things that she cannot explain. Strange things. Otherworldly things. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse–her hallucinations are real, and her sister is imprisoned in a realm beyond Ivy’s reach. The one person who can help her is the dangerously attractive rebel who’s bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
The fate Adrian has fought to escape is here – but he never expected the burning need he feels for Ivy. With destiny on one side and desire on the other, Adrian must help Ivy search for the powerful relic that can save her sister. Yet he knows what Ivy doesn’t: the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could destroy the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side, Adrian on the other, and nothing but ashes in between…

The Wanderer
The Wanderer by Robyn Carr is $2.99! This is the first book in the Thunder Point series and Sarah gave it a B-:
Though I know it won’t be for everyone, I enjoyed the mellow, misty friendliness of Thunder Point, and even though the romance was barely secondary to the story, I liked the community and each of the characters enough that reading it made me content, which is just what I wanted.
From Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the popular Virgin River novels, comes THUNDER POINT—the highly anticipated new series that will make you laugh, make you sigh, and make you fall in love with a small town filled with people you’ll never forget.
Nestled on the Oregon Coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land’s unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he’s been left an old friend’s entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community’s destiny in his hands.
Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.
With the whole town watching for his next move, Cooper has to choose between his old life and a place full of new possibilities. A place that just might be home.

The Elusive Earl
The Elusive Earl by Maddison Michaels is 99c! This is the second book in the Saints & Scoundrels historical romance series. Boy, those are some good pants on the cover. This sounds like a fun, opposites attract romance. However, others expressed frustrations with the wishy-washy heroine.

Acting Lessons
Acting Lessons by Katie Allen is $1.99! Katie Allen is another pen name for Katie Ruggle, for fans of her romantic suspense. I bought this one previously because I was very curious about the eye-patched cover model. However, I wasn’t immediately taken with the heroine.
An aspiring actress navigates the gig of a lifetime…and an illicit desire she never saw coming in the first book of a brand-new series from Katie Ruggle writing as Katie Allen.
It’s an offer she can’t refuse. Two weeks of work for enough cash to quit her day job and focus on auditions is a dream come true for struggling actress Topher. All she has to do is play girlfriend to a wealthy friend, helping him secure his trust fund. Then she meets her friend’s sinfully handsome, firmly off-limits uncle, and all bets are off.
Not only is Uncle James surprisingly younger than imagined, he’s charismatic and hot as hell. And there’s something about the wounded veteran’s hungry stare that has her thinking the feeling is mutual.
Topher’s determined to ignore Uncle Sexy, but the forbidden temptation is too much to handle, especially after James flashes his dominant side. But surrendering to temptation is easier said than done when the plot thickens. Even if Topher can manage to fool everyone involved, she’s not sure she can fool her own heart—or the man she’s definitely not supposed to be falling for.

I love Acting Lessons, but if age/daddy play isn’t your thing, avoid it. There are also comments about weight that might be upsetting to some people.
I’m so torn… age/daddy is really not my thing, but on the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fake relationship setup involving only one of the leads before, and that’s something I’ve always wanted to read because trope-breaking is my thing.
@Star: Sounds like a good topic for a Rec League: heroine is in a fake relationship but falls for someone other than the person with whom she’s “faking it.” Of course, there have to be solid reasons why she can’t let the man she’s interested in know she’s in a fake relationship. I thought there was a Jana Aston book with that set-up, but looking through her books, I couldn’t see one.
I read Rachel Van Dyken’s STEALING HER a few weeks ago—it has a somewhat similar set-up: the hero is pretending to be his identical twin (naturally, there are reasons why) and he starts falling for his twin’s fiancée. I thought it was pretty good.
India Grey did the fake relationship/falling for somebody else thing in CRAVING THE FORBIDDEN (first book of the Fitzroy Legacy duology) where our heroine falls for her fake fiance’s brother. Published by Harlequin/Mills&Boon. Grey writes very intense and angsty characters (though sometimes the plot can go a bit off the rails, as it does in Book 2, IN BED WITH A STRANGER).
There’s a Georgette Heyer with a fake relationship. The twin with the title has arranged a marriage with a suitable young lady, but goes missing. His twin rushes home and his mother convinces him to pretend to be his brother until the brother reappears. Then they fall in love and he’s not sure what to do because Honour.
Off to find it.
False Colours.
Prefer the Thunder Point series over Virgin River although I like it too. It makes me want to go there. The northwest is a main character to me.
Just wanted to pop back in to say that, because I basically have no impulse control when it comes to books, I purchased ACTING LESSONS yesterday and apparently it’s the “fake relationship but attracted to someone else” story I didn’t know I needed in my life—but so far I love it. There’s humor (which I didn’t always like in romances, but Allen has a light touch), plus there are two layers of fake relationships: the heroine is in a fact relationship trying to fool the uncle, but then she has to be in a fake relationship with the uncle—but he still thinks her relationship with his nephew is real. So the heroine is constantly checking to remember which level of “fake” the assembled group knows about. I haven’t gotten to the Daddy-kink yet, but reading about that is not a problem for me.
