It's in His Kiss, by Julia Quinn has been marked down from $7.99 to $1.99.Book Description
Meet Our Hero ...
Gareth St. Clair is in a bind. His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. Gareth's sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past .. and the key to his future. The problem is -- it's written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word.
Meet Our Heroine ...
All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She's fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there's something about her -- something charming and vexing -- that grabs him and won't quite let go...
Meet Poor Mr. Mozart ...
Or don't. But rest assured, he's spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual -- and annually discordant -- Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth's every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other ... and that there is nothing as simple -- or as complicated -- as a single, perfect kiss.
If you get this one, you'll also want to check out It's In His Kiss: The Epilogue II, which is $1.59. I'm not sure how long it really is (and the reviews are actually for the main book), but it looks to be relatively short, at 47K. It looks as though it tries to wrap up all the loose ends in the book (but that there wasn't enough there for another full novel).
Book Description
What happened to the diamonds????If you've read It's in His Kiss, you want to know. Don't miss this charming and passionate short story, in which Gareth proves that some things get better with age, Hyacinth gains new respect for her mother (with a daughter like Isabella she'd have to, wouldn't she?), and everyone learns that while diamonds are lovely, sometimes tenacity is a girl's best friend.
Ruth Ann Nordin has added two new novels to her free download page. The first one is His Redeeming Bride.Book Description
Seven years after Eye of the Beholder ends, Neil Craftsman's story begins. (I recommend reading Eye of the Beholder first. Otherwise, this book spoils the "surprise" in Eye of the Beholder.)
When Sarah Donner learns she's pregnant, she hopes this blessing will be the thing to make her husband finally love her. But to her horror, he announces that she will go live with her overbearing mother-in-law. Weeks before she is due to give birth, they are traveling to her mother-in-law's when some thieves kill him.
Ready to give birth, she has to rely on the aid of the one man others had warned her about: Neil Craftsman. She knows of his tarnished past, and no respectable woman will go near him. But when she learns her husband left her with no home and no money, she has nowhere else to go but to the one man she's shunned.
As she gets to know Neil, she learns that there is more to him than meets the eye. But when his past comes back to haunt him, will her newfound love be enough to redeem him - or will he always be a shunned man?
The second new book on her site is Falling In Love With Her HusbandBook Description
When Ann Statesman marries Todd Brothers, it's not because she loves him. She marries him because she knows that he will make a good husband. She hopes that given time, her feelings for him will blossom into romantic love. But when her old beau comes back for her, will she still want to stay with Todd...or will she want to go back her past love?
She has also added a new download from Melanie Nilles, Starfire Angels, which looks like a fantasy novel for the young adults (yes, it says Science Fiction, but if you wake up with wings, that puts you outside the realm of science and into fantasy). The book description is very brief, but there is a video trailer that promises to elaborate on the premis.Book Description
A senior in high school wakes up one morning and discovers that she has wings. Nothing in her life will ever be the same again.
