READER RECOMMENDATIONS & BARGAIN FINDS:

➔➔ Kindle Unlimited Membership super-bargain deal!!!!  <— Hey guess what??!! It’s been extended again through the month of June!!!

• Hell Bent (South Shore Beach Book 1) & Heaven Sent (South Shore Beach Book 2) by Karen Crompton <— BOTH ON SALE TODAY!!! BAD BOY NUMBING HIS WAY THROUGH LIFE… “…it’s all about numbing the pain. And his plan’s working fine — until he meets Corrie Johnson. That’s when things begin to unravel. Because falling in love was never part of the plan. Angry, bitter and confused, Beau’s violent temper lands him in trouble more often than not — but he’s about to learn that the fight of his life doesn’t involve his fists...” The author says:

“Hell Bent and Heaven Sent are books 1 & 2 in the South Shore Beach series, but can be read as complete standalones with interconnecting characters.”

• Sweetbitter: A novel by <— SUPER-SALE & WILDLY VARYING REVIEWS. MANY HATE IT!! Even Amy kind of did… and yet those that loved it, think it’s brilliant!!! “…Newly arrived in New York City, twenty-two-year-old Tess lands a job working front of house at a celebrated downtown restaurant. What follows is her education: in champagne and cocaine, love and lust, dive bars and fine dining rooms, as she learns to navigate the chaotic, enchanting, punishing life she has chosen…”

Amy: I figure with the reviews, it can go either way for me. Hausfrau has a lot of 1-star reviews yet I freaking loved it, but then Sweetbitter had a lot of 1-star reviews and I would agree with them…I just felt cruddy and disappointed after reading it.

• An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir <— SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS FANTASY ROMANCE & IT’S ON SUPER-SALE!!

Tasha J: I bought this one this year at full price, have read halfway through and it’s a 5 star for sure (I skipped to the end cuz I had no time to keep going and I HAD to know what was gonna happen, lol). I will finish soon. There’s another after and I think the third will be coming out. Up there with Sarah J Maas for me. 🙂

MichelleS: Tasha’s review and love for Ember in the Ashes and comparing it to Sarah J Maas had me go to Amazon lickety-split. Imagine my surprise when Amazon tells me I purchase it back in summer of 2016! I don’t remember this book. I hate it when that happens.

• Immortal Hearts of San Francisco: Boxed set, Books 1 – 3 <— BOXSET SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!! “...Enter a world of temptation and lust, where rock stars are not only gorgeous and sexy, but they’re also vampires…”
