Free and bargain romance ebooks + Discussion February 2014
As requested, here is an outline of the purpose of this thread:
We point out free and bargain romances to each other, and recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!). Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast! In addition to the freebies, sales, and coupons we do a weekly purchased/read roundup (voluntary only, but it’s fun to use Calibre’s virtual library feature to take a screengrab in cover view ) We also discuss reading apps and devices, books, and life in general a bit in this thread. Sometimes we go off on seemingly unrelated tangents, but we always find our way back… Check out the last page of January's thread in case you missed any deals. |

There's a bunch of 'Crimson Romance' on sale under $2. I'll post this link but I can't get only the ones on sale to show, so click carefully.

I remember looking forward to the first of each month because that's when all the new goodies would show up. Now we are lucky if we can find one or two books. I didn't see anything in the slush pile worth posting.
Maybe things will pick up on Monday. |

I know. Looks like Samhain has also stopped their 2x (used to be 3x) a month freebies.

Take the Bait Cindy Dees More than just eye candy Rookie attorney Dani Wellford's taciturn client has the strangest request: "Send me to jail." Easy case, right? Wrong, especially as she faces Cam Townsend, the hot assistant DA who's hell-bent on seducing her—and winning the case. The way he wears his suits should be a crime; he gets Dani's mojo going, in the courtroom and the bedroom. Before long, their professional ethics are more tangled than the bedsheets. But when Dani goes to battle against her firm's old-boy network trying to prove a hefty case of discrimination, she ends up with the most unexpected ally…and perhaps just the right bait for a lifelong sentence. |

Because I forgot it was February (thanks Blossom!) here it is again:
$0.99 sale on Beat of the Heart (Runaway Train #2) by Katie Ashley http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Runaway-.../dp/B00FXIRE8U And Blossom - what's that them I've seen you mention for historical romances which are pretty much contemporaries in fancy dress? I need to make a shelf on GR for these! Just DNF'd Season for Temptation because of it - I'm not usually a stickler for historical accuracy, but this one just felt wrong from the get-go.

When I think of Wallpaper Historicals I think of Julia Quinn or Sabrina Jefferies which I do enjoy but Mistoricals are people like Tessa Dare and pretty much all the new regency that sourcebooks puts out. I hear Tessa Dare's newest novels has like 20 or something movies references in it. People seem to think that's brilliant. I think a list needs to be made for these type stories so I can avoid them. I think they should have there own genre kind of like Steampunk is Victorian and scifi these are a mix of contemporary elements with modern characters in long dresses. I like this post about it Carolyn Jewel calls them meta-regency. I love the comments and one calls them Regency in Drag! Last edited by Blossom; 02-01-2014 at 10:46 PM. |
