• Forever Ink (Montgomery Ink) by Carrie Ann Ryan <— SUPER-BARGAIN TODAY!! OLDER MAN/YOUNGER WOMAN “Callie Masters loves ink.

• The Olivia Collection: Six of Olivia’s Best Selling Novels by Olivia Long/Olivia Hawthorne <— BOOK BUNDLE BARGAIN!
• Marco’s MMA Boys Starter Set by S.M. Donaldson <— BOOK BUNDLE BARGAIN!
• Managed (VIP Book 2) by Kristen Callahan <— ROCK STAR (& entourage) FUN!!! Just released yesterday and Julie o loved it!

Just finished Managed and absolutely loved it! Did not read the first book, really don’t need to, it’s a standalone. But am going to read Idol now. Funny h, totally no filter. It’s definitely a keeper for my shelf.

• From Jennifer Ashley, With Love: Three Paranormal Romances from Bestselling Series by Jennifer Ashley & Allyson James
• From Caris With Love: Four Paranormal Romances by Caris Roane
• The Turning Point by Freya North <— POIGNANT, BEAUTIFUL TEAR-JERKER ALERT! It’s back on the list ’cause who can resist this recommendation from Amy AND Jan?

Amy: GAH!!! I finished it yesterday, and I have been thinking of it non-stop since then. The writing was pretty tough for me to get used to, and I didn’t know if I would ever adjust enough to it to fully become involved in the character’s lives. But Jan said it was the kind of book that sneaks up on you, and you know what? She was right. She was SO right because I found myself wondering what was going on with the characters whenever I wasn’t reading it, and picking it up again was like catching up with old friends and the happenings in their day-to-day lives. The story was just moving along, almost slowly at some points, and I was beginning to wonder if there was ever going to be any real drama when suddenly…BA-BAM!!! It cracked my heart wide open. And there was no shying away from what the characters were experiencing after that. It was raw and brutal and REAL, and I had no choice but to go through it all with them, painful as it was. There was definitely hope by the end, but I’m going to be bruised from this one for a while. *sigh* Loved it.

Jan: Yup Amy. That’s how I felt after reading The Turning Point. Bruised. I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters for days either. Freya North’s writing style is a bit different from what we’re used to, but I think she’s brilliant, because her characters are like people I actually know and care about. Don’t know how she does that! And the characters are pretty much what makes or breaks a book for me. If the characters are ‘meh’, it usually ends up a dnf for me. But Frankie and Scott? Their lives matter to me, crazy as that sounds. (I know, look out for the crazy book lady. Something like a crazy cat lady?) But what a beautiful book. Just wow.

• From Felicity With Love: Four Hot Paranormal Romance Books in One by Felicity Heaton
• Blood Kiss: Black Dagger Legacy by J.R. Ward <— J.R. WARD BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD ALERT!!! This one’s on super-bargain today!!

MichelleS: …total old BDB feel for Blood Kiss. Seems like more Butch & Marissa than Psaradise & Craeg though. Lassiter was a bit over the top. I’m almost done, but for BDB fans, it’s a must read!

24. Beautifully Broken by Laura Lee <— TABOO RELATIONSHIP ALERT!!! STUDENT-TEACHER… And LISA LOVED IT!!!

Lisa: It’s a definite 4 star read for me. It was a very well written story. The plotline itself was a bit formulaic – done one thousand times over, but it was still well done with characters that you wanted to know more about. Damaged girl (with a secret and a lot of angst over it in her past) meets the most beautiful man on earth. Insta-attraction and “the best sex ever” happens. They grow closer, but then the plot twist. A taboo relationship that sets up a plot to keep them apart…but they persevere and overcome, until the pivotal moment where the great “misunderstanding and miscommunication” happens, and our heart breaks in little pieces and we hold our breath and hope for their happily ever after.

However, the characters themselves are what kept me reading and invested in this couple. Both the characters were witty and charming. I laughed, I smiled, I shed a couple tears.
