Latest Bargain e-Books – February 7th 2014

Wow… there are almost as many new releases as bargain finds today (including a few highly anticipated sequels, for books that I’ve read, that have just been released, too)! I’m thinking end-of-week (Thursday/Friday) is the new unofficial “indie release day”. Love it! And… my TBR list does too. Yesssss… it does.  *smirk*

*side-eyes TBR list: shhhhhhhh settle down and stop squirming and let me fit a few more books in, would ya? Squeeeeeeeeze it in. There ya go. All of my books are nice and snuggly now. Nooooo… not too tight.  I. said. snuggly.*

Tee hee! 😛

So what books did I just squeeze in? Quite a few on here that look good and/or are already on my TBR list from a couple of weeks ago, but these are the new ones that gave me a blurb-jolt —-> A Fighting Chance (dark fighter read by an author that I’ve read before and enjoyed), Marine for Hire (hehe. Big bad hot Marine suddenly becomes a nanny! I think this’ll make me laugh, plus I enjoyed Vin Diesel’s version of it a few years ago, so why not? ;)), Under Locke (have been told it’s the best biker book ever), Unfiltered & Unlawful (BIKER book that looks awesome and recommended by one of my fav authors. MINE!), and Stolen Grace <— this one sounds SO different. I can’t even fathom from that blurb but considering the title, I have an idea what happens. “In an unexpected turn of events, a family tragedy forces Sylvia to leave Ruth in charge of little Grace for just one day. A decision that will tear their lives apart.” <— GAH! Sounds like it’s going to be a crazy read.

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

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

Drea: Maryse’s Book Blog have you read Bullet to the Heart by Lea Griffith yet? I saw that you had listed it on your blog and once I read the synopsis I was sold. Annnnywho, I read and LOVED it. This book is so different, and by far one of my favourite reads. The 2nd book is coming out on Feb 6, and I am stoked. I’m not sure if it is bargain priced, but my finger is twicthing to one click as soon as its available.

Paulette: this was very different and good

Drea: Hey Paulette, I agree with you. It was definitely something you don’t read about everyday. And that price was ridiculous!

Maryse’s Book Blog: I haven’t yet but it’s on my main TBR list (the one I posted a few days ago) and I’ve been happily working my way through it. I can’t wait to read it. Thanks so much Drea!!

• Ignite by R.J. Lewis <— and another one back on the list ’cause Twin loved it, too! “Thank you to whomever recommended Ignite by R.J. Lewis.

• Zeke by Wodke Hawkinson <— SUPER DARK READ ALERT!!! Scoti recommended this one to me awhile ago, and I just noticed the message, so I thought I’d post her recommendation. Better late than never: “Ok Maryse, I just finished one of the dark reads that was recommend and let me just say “Wow”. Zeke by Wodke Harleson is different than any other dark read I have read. You know those books we love where we end up falling for the bad guy because it turns out he has redeeming qualities, well this is not that book. It’s like watching two trains heading for each other. You know they are gonna crash and it will be horrific but you just can’t turn away. From the beginning you’re given a look inside Zeke’s mind and you know this will not end well. Overall I enjoyed reading it because it wasn’t like anything I read before but I would say that it is definitely not for everyone.“

• An Arrangement of Love (Interracial Erotic Romance) by Kenya Wright <— “Billionaire Chase Stone offers Jasmine a six-figure job that requires a full-time commitment in his office as well as his bed. If only she knew that before she agreed, then life would’ve been easier. It’s not that he’s unattractive.
