Latest Bargain e-Books – August 16th 2013

Eeeeeep! I just had a phone interview with Sylvia Day and I was kind of a nervous wreck. LOL!!!! But it was SO much fun, too. I was just too excited I think, considering all of the crazy-awesome Sylvia Day related news lately (the Crossfire TV series – and YES I ask her about it!!) AND in regards to her latest book release yesterday that totally fed my alpha needs. Well… let’s just say I was delightfully overwhelmed while speaking to her, and my head is still “in the clouds” right now.

You’d think I’d have been easier going with the whole thing considering the fact that I video-interviewed her at Book Bash (which is in editing) and I know how much fun I had with that, but nope. I was still nervous. Tee hee! I get that way when I gush over alphas with their makers, you see. 😉

Today’s video interview (only she’s on camera) will post sometime early next week, and she was WONDERFUL. Offered all sorts of amazing tidbits about what she’s been up to, what’s possibly coming next, and hints about the upcoming TV series. I packed as much in as I could in that 5 minutes! I’ll let you know as soon as I post it.

In the meantime, here are today’s latest reader recommendations and bargain ebook finds (and I’m starting it off with my own recomendation since we’re on the “Sylvia Day” subject):

P.S. Any on this list that were standouts for you? Any that gave you that wonderful *jolt*? Let me know! 😀

NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order.

• Afterburn (Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin) by Sylvia Day <— I read this one last night (130 pages) and it was really good! Wealthy tycoon that obliterated heroine’s heart, once upon a time (when she was younger and a little more naive). And as she climbs the ladder to her own success, she finds him again. On the opposing team’s side. GAH!! LOL! SUPER steamy, and he’s a mega-alpha (of course)! If you’re in the mood for more “powerful rich infuriating men” and the women they pursue, then I’d recommend this! Of course, it’s a series so while it’s not a crazy cliffhanger or anything, there will be more to this story (my  full review to come this weekend).
• Stripped by Jasinda Wilder is live on Amazon right now. Not hugely bargain priced, but still within my bargain “range” and this one looks right up our alley!! 😉
• Undescribable by Shantel Tessier <—  (thanks Aimee!)
• The Low Notes by Kate Roth <—  Another student teacher romance book!! And Paula said: “Loved this book!” and Stephanie agrees: “Such a good book! Pick it up for this price.”

• Freefall by Tess Oliver <— here’s another that caught my attention earlier this week ’cause of the cover (and the fact that he’s a tattoo artist).

• Consequences by Aleatha Romig <— and book #1 is bargain priced, too and very good!
• I Just Want to Pee Alone <— from various authors (lots of ’em!). I’m posting this ’cause a fellow reader (thanks Christine!) was inquiring about it on our Facebook page and the title made me giggle so I had to look it up. Great reviews! On the edge of my bargain pricing limit but I thought I’d add it to today’s list. 🙂

• Savage Rhythm (Club Volare) by Chloe Cox <—  Oh this one looks like fun… “Declan Donovan is a liar. He’s lying about what happened to his ex. He’s lying about the reason he knocked out his lead guitarist and best friend, and then kicked him out of the band. He’s lying about going to rehab–he doesn’t even drink. And now he’s lying about the way he feels about sweet, submissive Molly Ward.” Yes please!! Tattooed, rocker (star?) and a Dom. Hoping for some fun times with this one… 😉 Oh I just saw the other books in the series. I gotta make that reading order stat! (thanks Lori!)
