Today's Kindle Deal of the Day features
Four Romance Novels, all part of the
McCloud Brothers series by Shannon McKenna, at 99 cents apiece. For those that don't like to read a series out of order, I'm including links to the missing ones in between (which are at bargain prices, as well), as well as the latest in the series:
If you pick up the first seven in the series, that averages out to $2.56/title and even adding the last one in the series only brings the average up to $3.24. That's a pretty good deal for romantic suspense/thriller fans; for those who are tired of glittery vampires and paranormal monsters/gods with awesome powers (which are more and more unbelievably overcome), this will be a nice change of pace, as it appears that only a tiny hint of the paranormal exists in this series (psychic powers, #7).
Standing In The Shadows #2
Ex-FBI agent Connor McCloud can never forget the day he was set up to die at the hands of trusted friend and fellow agent Ed Riggs. Hard justice and loyalty to his badge have cost Connor what he wants most--Ed's shy, studious daughter Erin. He can never have her now, but her beauty still haunts and torments his every waking hour and his most fevered erotic dreams. But now that his old enemy Kurt Novak has returned, Connor is prepared to do anything to protect the vulnerable young woman from a killer who has vowed a brutal payback ... a killer with a predator's lethal patience.
Erin has been harboring secret fantasies about Connor McCloud since she first laid eyes on him--but that was before his testimony sent her father to jail. Her world is falling apart and it's all she can do to hold her family together. But now Connor is knocking on her door, telling her she needs his protection, whether she wants it or not. He won't give up and he won't stay away. He's sworn to guard her life with his own and his fierce protectiveness awakens long-buried feelings--and a fiery sexuality deep within her soul....
Out of Control #3
In Behind Closed Doors and Standing in the Shadows, Shannon McKenna introduced the McCloud Brothers: intense, rugged, and super-sexy. Now, Davy McCloud is about to meet a woman he can't trust-or live without...
Disillusioned P.I. Davy McCloud has an ironclad rule: never follow blind impulse when it comes to women. But he breaks it the instant gorgeous Margo Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The sexual hunger-and the instinctual protectiveness-that she awakens is much too strong to resist. Broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn't commit, Margot has no one to turn to but Davy McCloud. But the closer he comes, the more Margot discovers that holding back-or hiding-from this enigmatic, powerful man is impossible. In every way...
Then passion flares with unexpected intensity. But Margot's past has finally caught up with her, and life is about to get more than complicated. It's turning deadly...
Edge Of Midnight #4
On the very day an arsonist burns down Liv Endicott's bookstore in a small town in the Washington mountains, she finds fate has another shock in store for her. Amid the smoke, rubble, and tears, Sean McCloud appears, calling her name. He's every inch the man he always was--the man she kept on wanting. But wanting is not the same as trusting, and she doesn't dare let him get too close. Yet a ruthless killer is gunning for Liv, and she'll die unless they join forces to unearth a chilling truth--and come together in a blaze of searing passion. . .
Fade To Midnight #7
Gone But Not Forgotten...
When the McCloud brothers discover that Kev is still alive, they won't rest until they find him ... Beaten and tortured, Kev Larsen was found eighteen years earlier in a warehouse alley. He survived his brutal ordeal, but his memories before that night were completely erased. When he nearly dies saving someone from drowning, the brain surgery he has to save his life triggers fragmented, terrifying images. With only these fractured scenes to guide him, Kev is determined to unlock the secrets to his past.
Edie Parrish has always been good at not letting anyone get too close to her. If the wrong person were to learn of her unusual gift, her life would be immediately jeopardized. But when Kev Larsen discovers who she really is, Edie's only choice is to trust him. And soon, Edie can't resist her consuming desire for him—even though she knows she'll have to pay a price for it.

Stein, Stoned, by Hal Ackerman, is free in the Kindle store and from Barnes & Noble, courtesy of Adams Media. An unrelated, but on topic indie book that we've been giggling about over on MobileReads is The Stoner's Cookbook, which is also free today (Kindle only), for those who are a little more closely acquainted with this particular substance (also, please remember to use a CLEAN, UNUSED kitty litter box for that cake at the end of the book...).
