THE AWFUL MESS: A LOVE STORY by Sandra Hutchison @SheerHubris #GreatBookDeal

The Awful Mess: A Love Story
Sandra Hutchison

Young divorcee Mary Bellamy has left behind the Boston 'burbs for tiny Lawson, New Hampshire. Instead of the soothing anonymity she'd expected, she's soon coping with attentions from Arthur, an unhappily-married Episcopal priest who’d like to save her heathen soul, but is susceptible to more earthly temptations. Then there's her romance with Winslow, the handsome cop (and excellent kisser) who confuses her by being in favor of gay rights, but opposed to sex before marriage. 

Soon Mary is also coping with a crushing job loss, a pregnancy that wasn’t supposed to be possible, a scandalous secret she must keep even at the expense of all her hopes, and an angry ex-husband whose disintegration threatens all that she has left. 

With 87 reviews averaging 4-plus stars, you don't want to miss this sunnier, sexier twist on The Scarlet Letter.

I STAND BEFORE YOU by @AuthorSRGrey #ContemporaryRomance #GreatBookDeal

I Stand Before You
S.R. Grey

When it comes to tattooed bad boys, Chase Gartner is the real deal. Partying, engaging in meaningless sex, getting into fights---Chase indulges in it all during his late teen years, thus firmly solidifying his status as a heartbreakingly gorgeous but way-too-dangerous-to-trust guy in his hometown of Harmony Creek, Ohio. Then, following one fateful night of reckless decisions, Chase's actions finally catch up to him and land him in prison. 

Now, four years have passed and Chase finds himself a free man. He returns to Harmony Creek, ready to pick up the pieces and start rebuilding his shattered life.

Things are off to a promising start when he meets Kay Stanton, a young woman with a tragic past of her own. Despite a powerful attraction, Chase and Kay are naturally hesitant to become involved. That's why friendship feels like the safest option. But when passions ignite and love blossoms, a relationship that is destined and meant to be can only be resisted for so long. When Chase and Kay finally succumb to their feelings they realize being together feels more right and true than anything they have ever experienced. 

But their love is soon tested. Chase's wild past still haunts and tempts him, and Kay is keeping a secret that could tear them apart. 

I Stand Before You is a journey of hope and forgiveness, coming to terms with the past and moving forward. But mostly it's a story of two damaged people who take a chance, open their hearts, and find true love. 

With 39 reviews across the US and UK averaging five stars, you don't want to miss this contemporary romance.

Madison Knight ~ FOUND INNOCENT by @Carolyn_Arnold #GreatBookDeal

Found Innocent
(A Madison Knight Novel)
Carolyn Arnold

There’s one code when it comes to the wall of blueand Madison Knight may have to cross it.

Any good cop knows you never report a brother for mishandling a case or accuse him of misconduct, but in order to find justice, Madison may not have a choice.

Lacy Rose had one goal for her twentieth birthday—to be found innocent of past sins—but her life is cut short.

When Lacy’s remains are found in a garden and the investigation becomes connected to a closed case, Madison must face her past. The lead detective on that case was Madison’s ex-fiancĂ©. At the risk of jeopardizing departmental relationships, and churning up the attention of an old flame at the same time, Madison must push hard before the guilty are found innocent.

If you haven’t already, meet Madison Knight, the chocolate-loving detective, who is determined to solve murders and find justice for the victims—even if that means coming into contact with the sight of blood, you're in for a treat better than chocolate and no calories.

The Madison Knight series has over 250 reviews averaging four-plus stars and every novel is priced 'less than a latte', so you can afford to READ up!

Karmen Moncrille's name has been known throughout the world since the age of sixteen when her first book shot to the top of the bestseller's list. Now everything she writes is an instant hit, and her legions of devoted fans eagerly await her next release.

New Release! An emotionally packed journey, MY BUTTERFLY by @LauraMiller01 #GreatBookDeal

Butterfly Weeds and My Butterfly
Laura Miller














Julia Lang expected a nice night away from the office, free of thoughts about the case, her failed engagement, her past. 

But she should have known better. Her past haunted her every chance it got these days, and tonight it came in the form of lyrics she never expected to hear again--not after a decade, not in the arms of another man and definitely not in the form of a confession.

Now, Julia must discover for herself if the song--and more importantly, the man behind it--is enough to leave her new life for her small-town, Missouri roots and a second chance at love.

On a personal note... You know you're in trouble when the book excerpt has you tearing up. What better time to download a book when the follow-up novel has just been released. With over 150 reviews in this great collection, you don't want to miss this emotionally packed romantic journey.

NICE GIRL TO LOVE by @VioletDukeBooks, Three For One #Romance #GreatBookDeal

Nice Girl to Love
Violet Duke

THE ONE SHE NEVER THOUGHT SHE COULD KEEP...

Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast. Preferably him.

An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor has a firm 'nothing over a month' rule. Who knew a nice girl would be the one to make him want to break all his rules?


THE ONE SHE NEVER HOPED SHE COULD HAVE...

Abby is well aware that everyone thinks she's in love with her best friend Brian. He is, after all, the type of man a nice girl should be with--the polar opposite of the bad boy--the kind of guy who didn't let his wife's decade-long illness stop him from showering her with a lifetime of love every second until her dying day. But everyone's wrong; she couldn't possibly be in love with him. Because she's never once allowed herself that option.

It's taken a while but Brian has finally come to terms with surviving the woman he spent half his life loving, a third of it losing. Truth is though, he wouldn't have 'survived' any of it really had it not been for Abby--sweet, incredible Abby--the woman he's never once had to picture his life without, never realized he couldn't truly live without. Until now. Now that he's finally able to love her the way she deserves, the way he knows she wants to be loved...by his brother. Who's giving him exactly one chance to speak now or forever hold his peace.


A DECISION SHE NEVER DREAMED SHE'D HAVE TO MAKE...

And now it's up to Abby to decide between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good guy fighting for the life they've already built.

With over a hundred reviews with almost a perfect five-star average and priced 'less than a latte', you don’t want to miss this international bestselling series three-book boxed set.
