This is just a quickie as I\u2019m still away. Not as much reading done as hoped this week. I spent a couple of afternoons prepping next week\u2019s posts and lost a day to sickness (I\u2019m blaming the mussels I had at dinner). Nothing serious though and I was soon back to lounging about and enjoying life. <\/p>\n

The lounging about and not reading did lead to a fair bit of browsing, so the bad news is that last week\u2019s miraculous reads over purchases has not unsurprisingly reversed. C\u2019est la vie or \u2018eso es la vida\u2019 as they\u2019d say here (I think). Never mind there\u2019s always next week (she says laughing!)<\/p>\n

On the Mend by Tina Gallagher (was free now \u00a32.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan<\/strong>
Back in college, I loved two things\u2026Sabrina Kelly and baseball. Baseball worked out great. Sabrina, not so much. I know I broke her heart, but I\u2019m not that guy anymore. Now, with an injury benching me, she\u2019s back in my life as my physical therapist. I\u2019ve got one shot to fix what I broke and win her back.<\/p>\n

Game on.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sabrina<\/strong>
Why does my promotion depend on Dan McMullen, of all people? I\u2019ve been working my butt off for years and now all I have to do is get the star center fielder game ready and it\u2019s mine. Yes, our relationship happened ten years ago, but I\u2019ll never forget how he broke my heart. He was my first love after all. But I\u2019m older now, wiser. I won\u2019t let anything stand in the way of earning that promotion. Not even a sexy player who thinks we\u2019re going to kiss and make up.<\/p>\n

Man Down by Kate Meader (free)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been texting the wife I lost, the woman I loved beyond measure . . . Now someone else has answered back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gunnar Bond is broken.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three years ago, he lived through the car crash that took his wife and twins away from him\u2014though \u201clived\u201d barely describes his current state. Giving up professional hockey, going off grid, and drinking himself into oblivion are his coping mechanisms. Another is texting his dead wife about his days without her. Therapeutic? Doubtful. Crazy? Definitely. But those messages into the ether are virtually the only thing stopping him from spiraling to even darker places.<\/p>\n

Until someone texts back \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Sadie Yates is losing it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suddenly guardian to a little sister she doesn\u2019t know and a misbehaving hound she\u2019d rather not know at all, she\u2019s had to upend her (sort of) glamorous life in LA and move back to Chicago. The nanny has quit, the money\u2019s running out, and her job is on the line. The last thing she needs is her sister\u2019s hockey camp counselor, a judgmental Viking type, telling her she sucks at this parenting lark. Thank the goddess for her sweet, sensitive, and\u2014fingers crossed\u2014sexy text buddy who always knows the right thing to say. In the same city at last, they can finally see if their online chemistry is mirrored in real life. She just needs to set up a meeting \u2026<\/p>\n

A ruined man who claims to have used up all his love is surely a bad bet, but Sadie\u2019s never been afraid of a challenge \u2026 even if this one might shatter her heart into a million pieces.<\/p>\n

The Matchmaker of Perigord by Julia Stuart (was 99p now \u00a33.99)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A perpetual breeze blows through Amour-sur-Belle, a village so ugly that even the English refuse to live there.<\/p>\n

Guillaume Ladoucette the barber is forced to give up his business as the advancing age of his customers means many have gone bald. He decides to set himself up as a matchmaker instead, for, despite its name, love is the one thing that Amour-sur-Belle lacks. Some shun Denise Vigier because her grandmother was found guilty of horizontal collaboration during the war. The bar owner refuses to serve Madame Fournier, the mushroom poisoner. And Madame Ladoucette and Madame Moreau have been trading insults for so long they have become almost a form of greeting.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not everyone falls instantly head over heels,\u2019 the matchmaker counsels. \u2018Love is like a good cassoulet, it needs time and determination.\u2019 But how can a matchmaker make love simmer \u2013 when he has not yet solved the problem of his own troubled heart?<\/p>\n

The |Rogue by Roxanne Tully (was free now \u00a34.09)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Single dad rancher seeking live-in nanny for 9-year-old boy. Must have experience, playful and\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>not<\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0looking for a real-life love story<\/em><\/strong>. (6 wks only<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0don\u2019t apply if looking for long-term<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Hitting refresh ten times on my search doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0cannot<\/em>\u00a0be only\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0job in Hideaway Springs. Not that I won\u2019t take literally\u00a0anything<\/em>\u00a0at this point, but the likelihood of Levi Reeves hiring me is negative zero.<\/p>\n

And if he does, I\u2019d be sleeping with the horses, not his house! Or he\u2019d call the police and \u201cfinally arrest\u201d the\u00a0town Rogue<\/em>\u00a0for all her misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t stop me from knocking on his door. Besides, his grumpy scowls are easy to tune out when my eyes keep drifting to the rugged edges of his face and sculpted physique.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hired with a clear understanding that one: he\u2019s desperate and two: he\u2019s got his eye on me. And eventually, his hands too. Because come nightfall, we drop more than our animosity.<\/p>\n

Our clothes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Before the hot summer days turn to crisp autumn nights, he\u2019s claimed me as his. And as hard as I\u2019d fallen, my six weeks are up.<\/p>\n

He may have every intention of making me stay, but my past is a reality I can never escape. And I love them both too much to bring trouble to their home.<\/p>\n

The Love Hack by Michelle Dayton (free)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just when Tess Greene\u2019s life is finally almost perfect, her past springs one last surprise on her. Targeted by an internet predator whose sleazy website is known for publicly humiliating women, Tess has one month to stop his ambush before her reputation is forever ruined.<\/p>\n

As an IT disaster recovery specialist, Tess has always handled challenges on her own, but this calls for serious geek backup.<\/p>\n

Max Hampshire, a brilliant hacker, is exactly the lifeline Tess needs. But she\u2019s pretty sure she doesn\u2019t need Max himself\u2014certainly not his quick wit, sexy black-framed glasses, or all-around sweetness. The last guy who helped Tess left with his life crushed and his heart broken, so she knows that keeping her emotional distance from Max would be safer for both of them. But safety isn\u2019t an option when love gets involved.<\/p>\n

Fireproof by Delancey Stewart (free)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The newest barista at the Busy Bean is about to steam the place up\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Marine Mason Rye can make a cappuccino with military precision, but he finds it much harder to serve up a smile. It\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t like people. But he knows from experience that once you let someone in, it hurts like hell when you lose them. And Mason\u2019s lost too many people already.
So it\u2019s pretty damn inconvenient when his old Marine buddy shows up on Mason\u2019s goat farm with his younger sister in tow. Heather\u2019s work in Washington D.C. has turned dangerous, and she needs a safe place out of town.
Mason doesn\u2019t need a new roommate, especially not a pretty, single one who insists on rearranging his spice rack and giving his chickens cute names. Although there\u2019s no denying the haunted look in her blue eyes. Every time her fear shows its face, he wants to reach for her.<\/p>\n

The problem is that she wants him, too. And when Mason breaks all his rules, they practically burn down his bed together. But her life is in D.C. And the threat against her is over.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, neither of their hearts is fireproof\u2026<\/p>\n

Cakewalk by Claire Hastings (free)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love isn\u2019t always a cakewalk . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn\u2019t realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she\u2019s managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she\u2019s up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.<\/p>\n

Holden St. James swears he isn\u2019t a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn\u2019t he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he\u2019s pretty sure he wouldn\u2019t be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it\u2019s time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world.<\/p>\n

But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they\u2019re not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs\u2013or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?<\/p>\n

Doubletalk by Teralyn Mitchell (free)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basketball has always been his one love, until now . . .<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Zeke Armstrong never imagined he\u2019d be back in Vermont, but here he is, living in Colebury and trying to rehab an injury that could mean an early retirement from pro basketball. Running into his former classmate, Mallory Barrett, shouldn\u2019t be a distraction. It shouldn\u2019t mean\u00a0anything<\/em>, so why is he accidentally on purpose showing up at the coffee shop where the beautiful writer spends her time?<\/p>\n

Mallory Barrett has met a guy. Well, she hasn\u2019t met him yet, except for on the dating app she almost refused to download. \u201cCoby\u201d sparks her interest and gets her jokes\u2013and gives the romance-novel heroes she loves so much a full-court run for their money. When their first date doesn\u2019t work out, she decides to give him another shot . . . just as a man she despises reenters her life. While her interest in the mystery man on the app grows, she clashes constantly with Zeke in real life. She can\u2019t forgive him for humiliating her in high school, yet she can\u2019t deny she\u2019s drawn to him now.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s somehow gone from confirmed bachelorette to the tie-breaker between two men. Meanwhile Zeke has a secret\u2013one that will cost him the game if Mallory finds out . . .<\/p>\n

After Care by LB Dunbar<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a sexy silver fox meets a breast cancer survivor on vacation, love might be just what the doctor ordered.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cancer-free<\/em>. Were there any sweeter words? Grateful for this second chance, I was ready to live, and the first celebratory step was a trip to Hawaii with my grown children. Two weeks to reconnect, reboot, and refresh. I hadn\u2019t planned on the awakening adventure of meeting him\u2014Tommy Carrigan.<\/p>\n

Not Tom. Not Thomas. But Tommy, even in his mid-forties. His salt and pepper hair gave his age away, with the slightly longer locks curling at his neck in shimmery silver and black satin. My mouth dried when he looked in my direction. My cheeks heated. He wasn\u2019t a young man, but all-male. His tight T-shirt showed off the sexiness of an older man\u2014barrel chest, firm abs, confidence\u2014leaving not much to the imagination. But my imagination ran rampant, as did my heart.<\/p>\n

Falling in love with a former rock star might not have been on the doctor\u2019s prescription pad, but this late in life, I wasn\u2019t passing up the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Only, what happens after the vacation ends?<\/p>\n

Bourbon Lullaby by Walker Rose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Myles Foster: CEO, thief, broody grump. And, once upon a time, the boy who read me stories when it stormed. My brothers hate him for the knowledge he took from our family\u2019s bourbon company to start his own empire. My sisters have forgotten him. But me? I\u2019m going to be his new assistant.<\/p>\n

To him, I\u2019m just a temp with a deep knowledge about the world of spirits. But if I come clean about just where I got that know-how, he\u2019ll toss me out before I can find out what happened to the boy who calmed my fears.<\/p>\n

How did the angry foster kid with a chip on his shoulder the size of Montana become the owner of a respected distillery? How did he get my adoptive father to show him so much of the family business, only to run away and become a huge competitor?<\/p>\n

How could he disappear from our lives and forget me when I could never forget him?<\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t trust easily, and I\u2019m only in his office because of a lie. But if that lie will get me all the answers I\u2019ve been craving for twenty-two years, then that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do, right up until the moment he finally remembers who I am. And then it\u2019ll be my turn to disappear.<\/p>\n

The Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well I did say that last week would be exceptional and this week proves it. I\u2019m back to buying (or downloading) more than I\u2019m reading. But on the budget front it\u2019s looking rosy. Just as well as I\u2019ve got a couple of book events coming up next monh so I\u2019ll need all the budget I can get!<\/p>\n
