Latest Bargain e-Books & Reader Recommendations – October 17th 2014

By 153 Comments

HAPPY Friday my friends!!! 😀 Here is today’s latest list of new book bargains, new releases and new reader recommendations.

In fact I have one from this week (Bait), that I can’t wait to start (because it totally blurb-jolted me) and just as I thought… readers are telling me it WILL tear my heart out. YAY ME!!! Since it’s release it has come HIGHLY recommended. There’s even a support group. LOL!

AND AND!! I have a bunch of HIGHLY anticipated pre-orders below. Like… books from Aleatha Romig, Jasinda Wilder, Darynda Jones AND one that is totally “new-to-me” but when I read that blurb, I EEEEEPED! —> Sociopath: A Dark Romance by Lime Craven <— I’m on it! Er… as soon as it’s released, that is. 😛 Here are a few parts of the blurb just to give you an idea:

If you could read my mind, you’d probably call me perverted. Unnatural. Manipulative. But I’ve learned to blend in, to be funny and charming. A predator in a designer suit…

and then!!

… I never meant for this to be a love story. I fought it kicking and screaming, the same way Leo fought me. Now we’re bleeding into each other, making a mess. A chaos. There’s no control here. And what do monsters like me do when control leaves the building?

We attack.

Oooooooh. eek What is THIS?!! Sure sounds right up my dark alley!

BUT FIRST! —> I am happily reading (just started) book #2 (Harder) which comes after “Deeper” (<— that I 5-star LOVED!) You know I love a book when I immediately jump into it’s sequel. And sure… while it’s not “bargain priced” it appears to have just dropped in price over the last day or so, so I think it fits as a “sale” notice, and I one-clicked it. 😀

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

P.P.S. Also, while these bargain finds and new releases “look” great (and/or have awesome reviews and recommendations), unless I have my own personal review link next to it, I likely haven’t read it myself… I just found it and wanted to share it in case it’s awesome. So if you read it, let me know if it’s awesome. LOL! :D

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

Todays latest reader recommendations and bargain ebook finds:

  • Left Behind by Vi Keeland <— JUST RELEASED!! Total blurb *jolt* for me… and the blurb ends on a very cool “dun dun dunnnnnn!!” feeling…) *whoo* I wonder what the twist is!! “Two stories so deeply intertwined, you’ll think you know how they intersect…but you’ll be wrong….” and then… “…he filled a void I never knew was possible to fill. He had to be my fate. My destiny. Until the day I finally found out who my sister was…and how twisted fate could be.“
  • Escorted by Claire Kent <—- OH YES!! I loved this one (SHE hires an escort…). Thanks Chrissy!! (P.S. Here’s my review of Escorted)
  • Bait by M. Mabie <— This is the one that sounds like an incredibly angsty love triangle mess, that I’m anxious to start. Making a mess of some of our fellow readers (many love it, some… not so much… but I’m still intrigued):

Rachel: Uhhhh…it’s 2:12am and I was exhausted at 8pm, so it’s pretty safe to say you’re gonna like Bait.  I’m about halfway and already need some support.

Rebecca: I’m definitely going for M. Mabie’s Bait, her previous book Fade In (about a television comedy writer going blind) is in my favourites of 2014 list.

Toski: DONE. I had to eat a tums after, if that tells you how I feel right now.. OMG. Just. OMG.

Rachel: Finished Bait.  It was everything I wanted.  Beautiful, well developed cast of characters, glorious ache, brought out all kinds of feelings as I read.  My only complaint is that it needs some editing (some pretty obvious grammar mistakes and misspelled words).  I would not consider the ending a traditional cliffhanger.  It may or may not end in the way you want or expect, and it ends with a promise of more, but it felt like the end of a Batman or Spider-Man, where it’s mostly wrapped up with just a hint of what’s to come.  The problem is, you’ll likely want more right away.  I can’t wait to hear what you think, Maryse.  I loved it.

  • Fight for Her #1: MMA New Adult Romantic Suspense (Uncaged Love) by J.J. Knight <— JUST RELEASED FIGHTER BOOK with a ton of great reviews already! “After a brutal cage match that sent me to the ER, Maddie took off across the country. Six months pregnant. She left to have my baby as far from me as she could. No more violence, she said. No fighting…“
  • Raven’s Seduction (The Pleasure Pros Book 1) by M.T. Stone <— JUST RELEASED!
  • Wolf at Her Door by Liliana Rhodes <— JUST RELEASED!! “Heather isn’t an immortal wolf shifter like Callen is, she’s human. Whenever Heather is reborn Callen searches the world to find her and make her fall in love with him again…“
  • Southern Rocker Boy (Southern Rockers Book 1) by Ginger Voight <— JUST RELEASED!! “Enter music executive Graham Baxter, who offers them both a way out…by competing for a recording contract they both need. Now if only they can fight the intense chemistry that keeps them locked in battle, when they’re not locked in each other’s arms, that is!“
  • Breathless Night (The Breathless Series) by K Aybara <— JUST RELEASED!!”Luke Roberts was your typical wild and crazy guy, intimately getting to know each of the girls at his local bar and quite often starting fights over them. Going home with a different one each night of the week until he started spending too much time with his best friend’s girl…“
  • Forever Love (The Forever Love Series) by Chelsea Landon & Megan Smith <— JUST RELEASED!! “Chelsea Landon and USA Today Best Selling Author, Megan Smith, bring you two novels that weave a web so intertwined and elaborate that while one breath is being stolen, another is aching for the next – demanding to unravel what they’re holding onto, all the while, another is struggling to let go.“
  • Was it Good for You Too? by Naleighna Kai <— JUST RELEASED and sounds like quite the angsty love story. Kind of unique… ’cause… “…her high school sweetheart, Delvin Germaine, now an Oscar-winning actor, lands on the bus at the last minute, and the heartthrob spells certain trouble for Tailan. Years before, the couple complicated their lives by bringing another woman into the relationship to bear Delvin’s children. When threatened with losing the family he always wanted, Delvin felt he had no choice but to marry the surrogate and send Tailan packing, in spite of the fact that he loved Tailan like he loved no other woman…” BUT!!! She’s got a secret…
  • Wild by Adriane Leigh <— “They have the perfect non-relationship–passion-fueled nights with no strings attached–until life gets real and the past and present collide in a dangerous storm of lust and obsession.”
  • PLAUSIBILITY by Jettie Woodruff <— MichelleS is getting a *squirmy kick* out of this one: “I just have to say Oh. Em. Gee. I have butterflies in my stomach and a touch of “potential” anxiety. I downloaded the sample for “Plausability” by J Woodruff. Pretty much hooked in a couple of paragraphs. I’m already nervous and fidgety. It’s going to be uncomfortable and push ALL the limits of what I will read…. but I’m going for it. Wish me luck. Will report to the crew when it’s done!!!! EEEEEEK!” and Laura says: “Michelle u will love plausibility it’s so good normal crazy for jettie but great story!!”
  • Hate: A Love Story by Laurel Curtis <— bringing this gorgeous cracked heart cover back, ’cause Kristy just finished and loved it. “oh my lordy it was spectacular!! I’ve never read a book that made me laugh out loud so much. The banter is amazing and I’d read the book just for her interactions with her Gram even if there was no love story involved. Of course there is and it’s a great slow burn with a touch of angst! Read it and read it soon Maryse!!”
  • The Suit (A Holly Springs Novel Book 1) by B.N. Toler <— recent release that’s on sale today! “She thinks he’s arrogant and a white-collar yuppie. He thinks she’s a simple, goody two-shoes farm girl.” And… he’s forced to temporarily move in with her…
  • Izzy Moffit’s Road to Wonderland (Road to Wonderland Series Book 1) by Victoria L James <— NEW RELEASE that I missed a few days ago, so Chrissy brought it to my attention. Thanks Chrissy!! From what I gather of this blurb… two sisters finally escape their abusive home and venture into adulthood together but… “Dodging as many bullets as they can along the way, Izzy tries to hold on to Paris’ hand for as long as possible without either one of them slipping away. But no-one ever told them how rough their journey would be. No-one told them that friends and family would change or leave along the way. And no-one told them that for every good intention they have, there’s a thousand people out there with bad ones, waiting to rip them apart.”
  • BLYSS: The Blyss Trilogy by J.C. CLIFF <— Paula recommends this one: “Anyone read Blyss by J C Cliff? Really good and couldn’t put it down!” Sounds a bit crazy!! “…sparks fly when their separate worlds collide. She is Nick’s ultimate obsession, and he will stop at nothing to own her. When Travis, Nick’s right hand man, lays his eyes on the prize, all hell breaks loose. He should know Nick is playing for keeps, and while Julianna is fighting for her freedom, a lifetime full of secrets and twisted perceptions slowly unravel as Julianna gets caught in the fray.” Ruh roh.
  • Gage (The Barringer Brothers) by Tess Oliver <— recent release that I missed a few days ago, and it already has tons of great reviews. Can be read as a standalone. He wants to buy a bar but… “But there is a five-foot-four, brown eyed, obstacle in his way…”
  • Perfect Match (The Matchmaker Series Book 1) by Kathy Love <— Another recent release that I just missed, and from an author that I LOVED (love!) from back in my paranormal days! Single father moves to town with his daughter to get a fresh start… “…he soon finds himself repeatedly running into Franci, first as his daughter’s daycare teacher, then as his landlord. And it’s getting harder and harder to ignore his attraction to the sweet, thoughtful and sexy woman.“
  • Regretfully (Sinfully Series) by Leighton Riley <— Just released!! From the blurb, I’m getting that he’s grieving the loss of his wife and child, and her best friend is there for him. “She tries to help him move forward by befriending him but quickly realizes that there is more…”
  • Lord of the Fading Lands (The Tairen Soul Book 1) by C. L. Wilson <— Bargain priced and HIGHLY loved by our resident paranormal and fantasy book lovers, MichelleS & Fabi. Michelle says: “…best Fae book ever, hands down…” but warns “If you are not in a epic-fantasy mood,  I wouldn’t pick it. They are not stand-alones. It’s a commitment, for sure.” and Fabi says: “I’ve started MichelleS’s great recommendation, Lord of the Fading Lands.  Can not put it down!  Great fantasy book.”
  • Smoldered (The Electric Tunnel Book 2) by Rachel Blaufeld <— JUST RELEASED and sounds good!! Hardened owner of a strip club… “Asher keeps his big heart tightly guarded with everyone but Sienna Flower, his friend, business partner, and headliner. Until, that is, the night he runs into his childhood friend, Natalie Parker. While trolling a rival strip club, perusing their offerings for his own personal pleasure, he collides with his past. Coming face-to-face with a woman he only knew as a girl, he’s shaken when he finds the dark-haired beauty in a precarious position. Now all grown up, she’s a hardened soul who reminds him of where he came from, and stirs within him the need to protect yet another woman…” (and she’s a single mom).

Book Review – Deeper by Robin York

By 31 Comments

Deeper: A Novel (Caroline & West Book 1)
<— 5 stars for this one my friends. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!! I was SO involved, so into it, that I didn’t even realize how long it was (over 400 pages!!). Bev and MichelleS LOVED and recommended it promising a 5-star read, and boy did it deliver!

It wasn’t drawn out, or repetitive. Everything in this story had it’s place. It’s purpose. And it allowed me to truly get to know these characters and fully indulge in all sorts of emotional angst (but ALL within reason). The heartwarming scenes, the kindle-throwing moments, the realizations. The despair, the strength. The growth. I experienced it all, and I “got” them.

I looked, and I took a deep breath. I closed my eyes.

I could actually feel it – the solid ground of my life, cracking open.

*oooooomph!!!!!!!*

And just LOOK at how many in our crew loved it, too!

Maryse: Wow I am loving this book, you guys. The writing is incredible, the internal dialogue and actual dialogue, realistic, and the emotions, so sincere. I totally believe this story. Totally feeling this story. And may I just say that the steamy detail in Deeper is *whoooooooooo fans self* I haven’t skipped one single scene. Just perfect scenes at the perfect time, in the perfect amount of detail, in the perfect amount of realism. 😀 Okay back to my book!!!

Jessica: Holy crap I loved this book. And book 2… wait for it. Holy angst. Better than the first!

Bobbi: Book 2 shredded me so just wait.. So good but good grief one part almost made me sick with heartbreak.

Lime: I finished this last week–a friend on Twitter rec’d it. Amazeballs (and very hot!)

Anjanette: I’m reading it right now and her writing is impeccable.

Maryse: It is! It truly is. I’m so into this story. I’m thinking 5-star into it, but I still have to finish… 😉 God I just can’t stop highlighting everything! His thoughts, his reasoning… Just.. Perfect.

Sadie:  I’m about a quarter of the way in to Deeper! So I struggled to connect with the first few chapters – ask Cori who has been like a drill sgt getting me to read this one – it must have been my mood last night though because I got to the first chapter in his POV today and I’m IN! Really like how he is so flawed and something about his voice hooked me. Look forward to getting back to it tonight. Glad you are loving it Maryse!

Anjanette: I finished ladies and I’m in such a book slump !!! Book 2 is out but I’m trying to justify spending on it !!! I feel like I’m not done with these two characters !!!

Sadie: k I am really into this book. Cori here is your public acknowledgement.  the texting, the bakery, west…I’m loving it all.

Stacey:  I loved this book! I loved it so DEEP that I immediately bought Harder and loved that one, too. Such an incredible story with beautiful writing. Heart-wrenching and just…PERFECT! And I may like it just a little bit more because the heroine’s hometown is the same small town I lived in for almost 20 years.  Made me grin every time I saw it.

Amy: I stayed up until 1:00 this morning to finish Deeper and then had to take some Nyquil to knock me out ’cause I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And that ending?? I felt it. Like, *really* felt it. Thennnnn, I read the first chapter of Harder that was at the end of Deeper…gah!!

Jean: …I love Deeper! 85% and trying to read at my desk to finish. I was grinning like an idiot around the 74% mark… Definitely a fav for the year! Love Caroline and West! Shout out to bev for this awesome recommendation!

Sadie: I stayed up waaay too late reading and wish I didn’t have to work today so I could finish. I love West!

MichelleS: Maryse – totally agree about the steam factor in Deeper. I read all the scenes. Never skimmed. They were so subtly sexy (the open mouth kiss to her jaw in the library – woo-ee-mama). The sexy interaction reminded me of After Hours (where I also never skimmed). So glad Bev recommended this book. So glad you picked it up, too.

Right there with you Sadie.

I fell hard for West, believed his issues, and just the entire underlying message of the story. Of course there’s an important and beautifully explored issue, but all of the character interactions (family, friends… enemies), the connections and relief via new friendships and her own personal cognizance and growth… simply outstanding!! The writing? Amazing! Clever, hilarious, honest. Raw. And because of that, I WAS (or… at least while I was reading this book), I WAS Caroline.

So what’s it about? It’s pretty straight forward. Or at least, told in a way, that the story is just… so simple. Not complicated. Not twisted. Not twisty-turny. No surprise gotchas!!! Just real and yet terrifying in it’s own personal way. But the feel of the characters, their lives, and their growth is so far from simple. They’re deep, but they’re us.

You need to see this, it said.

And then, immediately after, I’m so sorry.

I clicked the link.

I think part of me knew even then. Because the thing about being a good girl is, you spend your whole life developing a finely honed radar for detecting anything that could potentially cause people to love you less.

Girls like me – or, I guess, girls like the one I was last August – we eat approval. We live for it.

So when we do something dumb – or, say, when we do something really monumentally idiotic – we know.

Serious, studious, people-pleaser, and all-around “good girl” Caroline starts college with a bang. Doing well, perfectly in line with her life goals (and those of her father) she’s on a roll. Making friends, even developing a small harmless crush with her dorm neighbor (bad boy “West”). And after amicably breaking up with her 3 year boyfriend (who’s also attending the same college), she soon discovers that *someone* has released scandalous photos of her and said boyfriend. It was a one-time act of “people-pleasing” her boyfriend since she felt a certain disconnect with him, and just… wanted to make him happy.

Mind you… only “parts” of him are visible. But she’s recognizable loud and clear.

She would know, and I would have to face her.

I thought about how it wouldn’t be just Bridget. It would be everybody.

That’s when it hit me that I would never be okay again.

And EVERYTHING she’s ever worked for, believed in, and is headed towards comes to a grinding halt. Faced with a whole new reputation and the online harassment and bullying and messages…

It was them. The men.

They follow me around. Their voices. Their vile opinions, now an endless stream of negative commentary on my life.

…and well. Her entire life changes. But worse. Her entire self-esteem crumbles.

But she gets by with a little help from her friends. Well, her roommate to be exact, but when she finds her next-door neighbor crush, beating up her ex… (she gets a little accidental nose-punch in the process), but she soon discovers that she’s not as alone as she thought.

“I’ll say you’re not hurt.”

But I am hurt. Inside me, under my rib cage, hiding somewhere deep beneath my lungs, there’s raw, sliced-open flesh that won’t close up. It hurts all the time. My tender nose and the dull throb in my head have nothing on that pain.

And therein lies this gorgeous story. Except it’s not all about her. Because “West” has his own deep story to tell. Thing is, he’s not telling it. He’s there for her, but insists on a certain amount of distance, and boy does this author let that play out.

I see what he’s doing. Every now and then, West throws some half-teasing comment out to remind me I’m not his girlfriend. He smiles as he tells me something that means, You’re not important to me. We’re not friends.

He pulls me closer with one hand and smashes an imaginary fist into my face with the other.

I know why he does it. He doesn’t want me to get close.

I don’t know why.

But I see. I understand.

I remain.

We’re a mess, West and me.

Yes. YES. THEY. ARE!!!

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! An incredibly slow burn, a budding friendship with someone that insists they are not “friends” just… *shrug* whatever. 😉

I shouldn’t keep trying to scale these walls he puts up. I’m a terrible climber.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I mean… come on?!! How deep is that? How TRUE is that? How much is that thought us? You’ve been there before, right? I have.

AND I LOVED IT! And it just keeps going. Keeps getting better and better and building and tearing my heart out, and making me swoon, and freaking me OUT!!!!!

I knooooowwww, I know…. it kind of sounds like many of the fun but similar “new adult” reads that we’ve read before. Sure, the theme is similar, the personal “issues” that the characters have to overcome, and the life changes… all of that emotional “depth”. But trust me. THIS ONE is done just right. At least it was… pretty perfect, for  me. I forgot I was reading, because I was living with them. Yelling with them. Laughing with them. Doubting with them. Insecure with them. Crying with them. Hurting and healing with them.

One step after another, hour after hour, day after day, until it gets better.

If I keep going, eventually it has to get better.

Confident with them. Courageous with them.

And I never wanted it to end. And YAY ME!! I don’t have to say goodbye yet. Book #2 is out, and I’m hearing even better than the first!! MY WEEK has been made!! ‘Cause I’m heading right on into it as soon as I finish this review. 😀 Now… off I go to start Harder: A Novel (Caroline & West Book 2)!!! *happy dance* 😀

5 stars!!!!!!!!

P.S. COOL TIDBIT That just made me go… NO. WAY!!!! Bev mentioned:

“Robin York is Ruthie Knox and hope she does more in this genre, hopefully a pair of certain friends.”

Very COOL!

And skip this thought by West (below) if you haven’t read the book yet, but OMG I even read this part to my husband, it was just soo…. WOW.

I’d shied away from deeper, but I never gave much thought to the alternative.

Nothing, or deeper.

My choice to make.

What kind of dipsh!t chooses nothing?

Deborah Bladon – Ruin Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

I remember Fabi LOVING The Vain Series as it was being released, and now, we have a sort of… spinoff! ‘Cause both series are about twin brothers… 😉 Both parts have TONS of great reviews already, and each book has been released within just a couple of each other. So all we’re waiting on is the final 3rd installment.

PLUS!! This particular heroine meets THIS particular twin on a plane. He’s seated right next to her… and they end up leaving together.

Fabi: …for those of you who read Vain (4.5 stars for me), Deborah Bladon just released Ruin, a new series featuring Noah’s twin brother.

Janet: Deborah Bladon’s third book in the Ruin series, which has just come out, and needs a mention – this series is a must-read!

About book #1:

Sitting next to a stranger on a flight from Boston to New York City alters the entire course of Kayla Monroe’s life. In her quest to escape the pain of rejection she jumps into the bed of an irresistible man who offers her a night that she’ll never forget.

Their connection is fierce and undeniable. When their paths cross again, a twist of fate brings her to the realization that the man she’s using to mend her broken heart is Dr. Ben Foster, a compassionate and respected physician.

Warnings about his past threaten Kayla’s future. She knows she should believe the rumors, but the moments she spends in his arms, and in his bed, wash away any doubt in her mind.

She sees a future with Ben but those closest to her won’t let her forget that the man she’s falling for has left a path of ruin in his wake that may impact her in a way she never saw coming.

     

Five Fun Facts with K.A. Tucker + a signed copy of BURYING WATER giveaway!

By 55 Comments

<— Whoooo!!! This new release (Burying Water: A Novel) sounds so INTENSE!! Emotional. And possibly super-twisty. She’s been left for dead, has no memories of what happened to her, and is rebuilding her life (with the aid of an old lady). But…

Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Ohhhh what does he know? I love these kinds of secrets and trying to figure ’em out!

And to celebrate K.A. Tucker’s latest book release, she has sent over a “5 fun facts” AND a signed book giveaway of this very book, for a lucky winner here.

FIVE FUN FACTS WITH K.A. TUCKER

5. Whenever possible, I communicate using minions. If I could add minions to my phone texts, my life would be complete.

4. I’m not a big “fangirling” type of person but if I ever met George R.R. Martin, I’d probably pass out from the excitement.

3. I am a hermit by nature. My ideal home would be in a remote woods, by a lake. As long as I had wifi, I could stay there for weeks at a time.

2. I can’t look into a goat’s eyes without shuddering. Their eyes freak me out.

1. I have written five books with the help of my Atria Books editor and I have never met her. I’ve only talked to her on the phone a handful of times. That all changes this weekend, on my first trip to NYC 😀

LOL!!! I’ve never stared int a goat’s eyes before, but I gotta find one and give it a go! And… congratulations on finally getting to meet your editor, K.A.!! 😀

Stylo Fantôme – Kane Trilogy Series Reading Order

By 12 Comments

Dark read alert!!! And I’m hearing it’s awesome!

Sylvia: Have you read and reviewed degradation and separation (Kane trilogy)..dark..alpha..H but with a feisty h!!!

Lauren Seale Taylor I REALLY need book 3!!! NOW! She says it’s finished & already edited but her cover artist (or whatever the person who makes the cover is called) isn’t available for a while sooooo….DEC! Gotta wait till Dec!!

Tessa: I just finished Degradation and Separation.  Both were intense with characters I felt I should hate, but instead adored.  They are sincerely messed up. Superficially, he’s cold and an a$$ beyond any and she’s slutty and love resistant.  Then, you get to the people they are, and just love them.  The steamy is violent, though.  Big warning there!  It works for them, though.  It’s a huge part of their messed-up-ness and just works.

Rebecca: …you totally need to start the Kane trilogy if you haven’t yet…saw it recommended on your page this weekend and have devoured the first two books…oh my. They are good.

Kelly: definitely worth reading. Maryse, try the sample. It drew me in big time!

Lori: Love this series!!!

Lauren: Jameson is such a d*ck….but I love him anyway.

About book #1:

Eighteen year old Tatum O’Shea is a naive, shy, little rich girl. Twenty-three year old Jameson Kane is smart, seductive, and richer. They come together for one night, one explosion, one mistake, and Tate is hurled into space – no family, no money, and no Jameson.

Seven years later, life is going pretty good for Tate, when she runs into Jameson again. This time, she thinks she’s ready for him. She doesn’t have a naive bone left in her body, and she can’t even remember what shy feels like. Jameson has evolved into Satan – sharp teeth, sharper claws, and a tongue that can cut her in half. It all sounds like fun to a girl like Tate, and she is ready to play, determined to prove that she isn’t the same girl he conquered once before. A series of games start, each one more devious than the last.

But the devil likes to play dirty, and she learns that playing for souls is playing for keeps. The lines between games and reality, heaven and hell, get blurry. Can she beat Jameson at his own game before someone gets hurt? Or will he leave her soulless, making him the winner, once and for all?
