If dominant and controlling yet tortured heroes make your heart race, then this book will rock your world! Even though it’s the first of the series, there is no cliffhanger at all!! Read my Review.

- $0.99 Sale – Cage by Harper Sloan. Book #2 in the Corps Security series. It’s a standalone but should be read after the first book, Axel which is listed above and also on sale. I loved them both! Read my review.

- $0.99 sale — Keep Me Still by Casey Quinn. I haven’t read this yet but the blurb looks so good and several readers have told me that I have to read it! It’s a New Adult romance that can be read as a standalone but there will be more coming in the series. It’s high on my list!
- $0.99 sale — Hyde by Lauren Stewart. I’ve had my eye on this series for a while but was waiting for the final book to be released and that just happened (#3 Strange Case) so I’m bumping this up my reading list now. It’s an urban fantasy series and “it includes lots of cursing, descriptive sex, biting sarcasm, and dark themes. HYDE was inspired by Stevenson’s novella but is not a retelling, in part because he and this author have very different definitions of ‘bad boy’.” This is the first of the series, the next 2 books are: Jekyll and Strange Case.
- $0.99 sale — Promise Me Darkness by Paige Weaver. Bad boy… post-apocalyptic world… I’m curious!! Plus, book #2 (which is the conclusion to this story) called Promise Me Light was just released so you can read them back to back! 🙂

- $0.99 sale — Everything I’ve Never Had by Lynetta Halat. I’ve heard wonderful things about this book!! I can’t wait to read it! From the blurb: One night. One song. One kiss. The perfect trifecta to unleash the floodgates of a forbidden attraction between the widow and her husband’s bad boy cousin, Adrian.
- $0.99 sale — The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window by Kristy Moseley. A sweet standalone romance about a girl who lives in an abusive home and the boy who sneaks in her bedroom window every night for 8 years to comfort her. Read my review.
- $0.99 sale — Beneath The Burn by Pam Godwin. Dark, gritty & INTENSE, this book has a tortured rock star hero, captivity themes, and a second-chance romance… it’s a wild ride!! Do read the warning label on the blurb though! Read my Review.
- $0.99 sale — Inky (The Leaves #1) by JB Harnett. I haven’t read this either but have had it rec’d to me a few times. I was holding off on posting because it has a giant cliffhanger, but since the sequel, Cole, was just released, I’m going to take a closer look now!
- $0.99 sale — Ruin by Rachel Van Dyken. This book made me laugh, cry & swoon. Everyone should read it!! It’s a standalone New Adult romance with a HEA. Read my review. “I can tell you have a good heart… because the minute I met you, I wanted to fight for it.”

- Travis Maddox fans!! Author Jamie McGuire did a Q&A about the series and here are some highlights:
- She said that Travis will have cameos in the upcoming Maddox Brothers books that’ll be released in Fall 2014. Trent’s book is the first and is scheduled for release fall 2014.
- About the Maddox Brothers books, she says “Trent’s book will be first, and then Thomas. Trent has even less control than Trav, so it should be one wild ride!”
- Regarding the Beautiful Disaster movie, at this point, it has been optioned by Warner Bros for film and the script has been written and she actually has a meeting to discuss it with the producer tomorrow!!
- When asked if she remembered the moment she had the idea for BD –> “Yes. I was sitting in bed, with my laptop on my lap, listening to “C’mon, C’mon” by the Von Bondies, and I started typing. I didn’t actually have the “idea” for BD, it just flowed out of me and happened as it happened.”
- Regarding the significance of the Butterfly on the covers, she said: “It signifies the “Beautiful” of the first title, and the “release” in the second.”
- She is considering writing a prequel for Abby and she also confirmed that Shepley and America live happily-ever-after together.
- Read the Prologue of Red Hill by Jamie McGuire!! I finished reading this yesterday and was blown away!! 5 stars!! It’s a standalone romance set during the zombie apocalypse!! Read my review.
- Abbi Glines also answered some questions about the Rosemary Beach series that readers were wondering about after finishing the latest book in the series Simple Perfection. Here is the Full Series Reading Order. And here are the answers in Abbi’s own words:
- YES Tripp is getting two books next year. I didn’t add Bethy’s POV for fun. There was a reason.
- Woods and Della will be in other books just like Rush and Blaire still show up. I can’t wrap their story up yet because it isn’t over. After I’ve written all the characters of Rosemary a book that I intend to write and it is complete I will give you all a novella wrapping everything up tight. I promise. But right now… the story continues with more couples.
- Grant and Harlow will be getting their first book in February. I’ve already written it. So that is coming. I promise.
- And finally…… you can now order Signed Limited Edition Hardcovers of Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire!!! You have to pre-order but they’ll be shipped out on November 26th and there is a Pre-order Price Guarantee! If the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price.
All prices are set by Amazon.com and are subject to change at any time without notice.

Hey Aestas!!
I read about Clay and Maggie book and I was wondering is that the book after or before the second book?
Aestas says
It’s going to be a Christmas novella but I’m not sure where in the series it’ll fit yet. I’ll post more details when I have them 🙂
The reading order of the series though is:
#1 Find You In The Dark
#1.5 Cloud Walking (novella about side characters – same timeline as FYITD)
#2 Light In The Shadows
Abdul Mahmood says
Thanks!! I have read all three of them. I have a feeling it comes in the middle of he first book because in the second book is happy ending so I don’t think author would ruin our happy ending like that.
Aestas says
I think either way, it will end happily 🙂
Sara says
I’m not sure what Jamie McGuire means by ‘prequel for Abby’ and ‘Shepley and America live happily ever after’ ? Is their going to be a Walking Disaster in Abby’s POV? I thought Shepley and America didn’t get a book…? 🙂
Aestas says
They won’t get a book she said but confirmed their HEA. I don’t know about the Abby prequel either. I’ll keep you guys posted if there is more news. I do not believe she will write an Abby POV of WD though (just my personal guess).
