Here’s a quick recap of a few of the latest new releases, sales, news & recommendations.
SPECIAL NEW RELEASES
- If Forever Comes by A.L. Jackson — This is the highly-anticipated sequel to Take This Regret and tells the final chapter of Christian and Elizabeth’s story. Be sure to read the first book, Take This Regret (Read my review), before as this is a direct continuation of that story.
- Stinger by Mia Sheridan — This is the latest New Adult Romance Standalone release from the author of Leo & Leo’s Chance. While it continues that series, the story/characters are not connected to the rest of the series and you do NOT have to read any other books first.
- Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines — This is book #5 in the Rosemary Beach series and is the conclusion of Woods and Della’s part of the story. This series must be read in the following order: Fallen Too Far, Never Too Far, Twisted Perfection, Forever Too Far, and then this book.
- Unattainable by Madeline Sheehan — As part of a special deal with her readers, this book was released early! This is the third book in a gritty Motorcycle Club/biker romance series. I haven’t read them yet but the first two books in the series are Undeniable and Unbeautifully.
- Safe With Me by Kristen Proby — This is book #5 in the With Me In Seattle series. Each book can be read as a standalone although they are all interconnected. The previous books in the series are: Come Away With Me, Fight With Me, Play With Me, and Rock With Me.
RECENT $0.99 SALES – new sales since the last post

- $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!

It’s “a sizzling and addictive story of a woman with a broken past and the man who can’t fight his attraction to her…” Note: This is part of a series but each book is about a different couple and can be read on it’s own as a standalone.
- $0.99 sale – Axel by Harper Sloan. If you’re a fan of Kristen Ashley, you’ll love this one! It’s a badass Alpha male second-chance romance standalone. Read my review. And also, the next book in the series (telling Cage’s story) was just released: Cage (Read my review).
- $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.”

- New Cover Reveal for Sempre by J.M. Darhower!! This book used to be an indie but has since been picked up by Simon & Schuster and is being re-released this November along with a sequel to follow shortly after in December. Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this book’s re-release & about it’s sequel Sempre: Redemption …
- How is the new SEMPRE different from the old one? The author says: “It’s gone through extra editing, so the word count has decreased and the plot line is tighter, and the sex scenes that previously faded to black no longer do that pesky fading thing. I know some of you will be elated about that. ” <— ooohh YES!!
- It is confirmed that SEMPRE: REDEMPTION is in fact the continuation and completion of Carmine and Haven’s story which began in Sempre. It brings the story full circle.
- The author has written a prequel telling Corrado’s story but has no news yet regarding it’s publishing.
- Both books are currently available for pre-order and will be released within a month of each other. Sempre will be re-released November 25th, and Sempre Redemption will be released on December 23rd. Here are pre-order links (they should be read in order):
Book #1 SEMPRE — Kindle | Paperback | My review
Book #2 SEMPRE: REDEMPTION — Kindle | Paperback
- Upcoming Book Alert for Carter Reed by Tijan!! This book sounds amazing!! It’s a mafia romance standalone coming Sept 30, 2013. Add to Goodreads. Here’s a small teaser:
“Tell me what happened.” His plea was so soft.
I broke. This wasn’t the stranger anymore. This was Carter, the boy I had grown up with. I flung my arms around him and pulled him down. Instead of fighting, I clung to him now.
He wrapped his arms around me and rolled to his side. He patted my back and tucked his head into the crook of my neck and shoulder. I felt his lips brush there as he repeated, “You have to tell me. I won’t hurt you. I will protect you.”
- Sylvia Day has released the first teaser from Captivated By You, the fourth Crossfire series book. As of right now there is no set release day or pre-order link. The first 3 books in the series are on sale though in eBook format — the first 2 are $7.99 each and the 3rd is $4.99.
