Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Wednesday, April 13: Book 1 of Julie Ortolon’s “Perfect” Trilogy Leads 250+ Kindle Freebies, plus … Got a taste for Granny’s Fried Apple Pie? Lori Devoti delivers Ozarks romance with humor, zing and plenty of sex appeal in Love is All Around (Today’s Sponsor)


Sometimes it only takes a single line to let me know I want to read a book. Our sponsoring novel today is full of lines like “the woman was as tacky as a tube top at a wedding,” and it delivers on the promise. And it’s also a nice match with the Julie Ortolon novel that tops this morning’s latest additions to our 250+ Free Book Alert listings….

 

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor
 

(Ed. Note: You may have noticed that every now and then I use an Editor’s Note here to let you know that I think very highly of one of our sponsors’ books. I try not to overdo it. But today I am going to turn the microphone over to another reviewer, Jacquelyn I. Goforth, who is especially eloquent on the subject of Love is All Around. Read what she says, sample the book, and ultimately I think you’ll consider this one a case of $2.99 very well spent. –S.W.)

“I’m not a professional reviewer. I’m a writer. And I’m a reader. And I’ll add to that: I’m a very opinionated, selective, nit-picky reader. I’ve tossed more books across the room than I’ve finished. Those were the ones I wasn’t bothering to skip through to the ending. It sometimes gets to the point where I don’t much care if the hero and heroine got together at all. That said, I’m still a consumer of the written word. If it’s written, and I bought it, I’m making the effort to read it. And if I’m interested enough to skip to get to the ending, then I’m skipping. How much can I miss anyway? 

“I have to admit first of all, that I read every word of LOVE IS ALL AROUND. Every one. That’s how much fun this book is.”

–Jacquelyn I. Goforth

“…Devoti shows lots of promise with such laugh-out-loud lines as “the woman was as tacky as a tube top at a wedding” as well as her quirky and endearing characters.”
–Diana Tixier Herald, American Library Association



Here’s the set-up:

Patsy Lee Clark knows what she wants – out of Daisy Creek and away from everything country. That is until Will Barnes rolls back into her life. This bad boy from her past spent fourteen years making up for teenage mistakes. Now he’s ready for a fresh beginning. The harder Patsy tries to escape her Ozark roots, the more Will reminds her of what makes them special. The harder Will tries to start over, the more Patsy and her family get in his way. Can Will convince Patsy they belong together in Daisy Creek or will she follow her dreams and leave him and the Ozarks forever? 

Plus, Bonus Material!
Granny’s Fried Apple Pie Recipe (featured in Love is All Around) and previously unpublished short story, Follow the Signs. (An Ozarks set historical romance featuring superstitions from the region.)


 

What the Reviewers Say
“This humorous regional romance contains a serious social issue involving dying small towns. The story line takes the future of Daisy Creek quite seriously, but uses zany eccentrics to make the romance into an amusing counterpoint to the grim aspects of can small towns survive in today’s megalopolis world without condemning big cities. Patsy Lee and Will make a fine couple, but it is the wild bunch led by the lead female’s unconventional relatives that spice up this well written contemporary tale. ”
–Harriet Klausner, #1 Reviewer
 

“Author Lori Devoti brings the Ozark region of Missouri to life–with its small-town charm and prejudices, the kindness of its people and the hopeless wreck of its economy.”
–BooksForABuck, Top 500 Reviewer

“…Ms. Devoti has a way with words that is funnier than funny. I was with the heroine every moment and I was living it right along with her. If you want a fun time, laughing at just about every page, you’ve GOT to check out Lori Devoti’s debut novel, Love is All Around! I don’t think they get much better. If they do, I haven’t found it. Bravo! Will I be reading this author again? You bet!”
–Pam, A Romance Reader


LOVE IS ALL AROUND is such a wonderful, encapsulated trip into Patsy and Will’s life, and the way Ms. Devoti writes is so hypnotic, that I have no choice but to Highly Recommend her for contemporary romance fans, and yes, even the historical romance fan will find themselves guilty for thoroughly enjoying themselves, too.”
–Jacquelyn I. Goforth
