Here’s the set-up: 
 
With THE BETRAYAL, Kathryn Shay adds a brand new full length novel of romantic suspense to her impressive list of forty books, with five million copies in print. Follow this tale of twists and turns as two people find their lives totally entangled, no matter how hard they struggle against their connection.

Darcy Weston flees to her grandparents’ abandoned farm after her stepfather rapes her. There, she meets Jordan Mackenzie, a local boy, and the friendship of a lifetime begins. Jordan helps sustain Darcy with food and water, and his company, for months, but eventually her whereabouts are discovered. In subsequent years, the two young people try to stay in touch from their disparate worlds, but eventually they drift apart.


Flash forward twelve years. Jordan is an accomplished teacher and Darcy, an internationally famous, reclusive artist. They meet again when Jordan publishes a book that reveals secrets about Darcy’s past. But they find themselves thrown together first over the scandal his book creates, then over a murder. Once again, they turn to each other for help and comfort as they deal with police investigations, a variety of suspects from each other’s worlds, and a passion between them which won’t be denied.

Praise for Kathryn Shay’s previous works of contemporary romantic suspense:

“A wonderful work of romantic suspense, with a plot ripped straight from the headlines. Kathryn Shay never disappoints.” 
–Lisa Gardner, NY Times bestselling author

“Kathryn Shay is a master of her craft…she will hold you on the edge of your seat with an ending you’ll remember long after you turn the last page.” 
–Catherine Anderson, USA Today bestselling author

“Timely romantic suspense.” 
–Midwest Book Review

“I can’t say enough about this author’s work—pure perfection.” 
–Old Book Barn Gazette

“Kathryn Shay’s mainstream romantic suspense is a gripping story that will haunt readers with its authenticity. And those who pick up a copy will find not one, but two absorbing romance threads, full of sensuality and fire. If ever the label of “sure thing” were deserved by a book, Promises to Keep is such a book.” 
–The Romance Reader

“These are all living breathing people you might meet anywhere at any time. The action and suspense balance well with the love, so that neither plot is skimped upon. I eagerly await her next release.” 
–Huntress Reviews

A Fool Again: A Novella
By: Eloisa James
Added: 04/13/2011 12:01:32pm

Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Friday, April 15: KISS ME, STRANGER and WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS Now Free on Kindle! plus … Think “Shakespeare meets Being John Malkovich meets Back to the Future” and you’re all set for Andrew Delaplaine’s THE TRAP DOOR (Today’s Sponsor)

Several highly rated reads that should be a permanent part of your Kindle library top this morning’s latest additions to our 250+ Free Book Alert listings….

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

History documents the fact that a Shakespeare play titled Cardenio was performed at London’s Globe Theater in 1613. References to the play turn up in various diaries and documents written in the 1600s. Cardenio, and other plays attributed to Shakespeare, did not survive in written form.

Author Andrew Delaplaine wraps the intriguing history of Cardenio and the Globe in this fascinating novel that takes off when a modern-day boy named Charlie jumps through a trap door at the modern iteration of the Globe and goes back in time to the days of the original performance.

The Trap Door: The Lost Script of “Cardenio”

Here’s the set-up: 
 

It’s Christmas Eve, and the opening night of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in a student production at the reconstructed Globe Theatre on London’s South Bank, and 16-year-old Charlie has the coveted role of Puck.

When a mysterious man in the back of the theatre causes Charlie to flub a line, he drops through the trap door in the stage, and is taken back to 1594 and the original premiere of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” eight weeks before Christmas Eve.

Charlie becomes a member of the Globe acting company and while trying to get a copy of Shakespeare’s famous lost play, “Cardenio,” he gets caught up in a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I and install Mary, Queen of Scots in her place.

But there’s a deadline: if Charlie doesn’t return home by Christmas Eve, he’ll be stuck in 1594 forever.

Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Thursday, April 14: Karen Kingsbury’s DIVINE is now free in the Kindle Store, and we’ve got the link right here! plus … Finally, “Vamps for Adults” with C.J. Ellisson’s 5-Star Vampire Vacation (Today’s Sponsor)

Sometimes our Free Book Alert listings are simply “Divine,” dahlings, and you’ll see what we mean when you get to this morning’s latest additions below….

 

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

More than five centuries old, Vivian and her human Rafe just want to run their erotic resort for the undead, but an unexpected body competes with the outrageous fantasy demands of their guests. It gets complicated.
Fact: 35 readers have already given this blockbuster 5-star reviews!
 

“Adults, it’s time to replace your drab teenage vampire novels & move up to the real thing! Vampire Vacation is a drop-dead SEXY mystery which will have you turning the pages til the end!” –Gina Gareau-Clark


Vampire Vacation (The V V Inn)
by C.J. Ellisson

Don’t have a Kindle? Get yours here.

Here’s the set-up:

Meet Vivian. She’s a 580-year-old vampire who exudes sex, has a talent for drama, and is passionate about two things: her human husband, Rafe, and their resort for the undead. Her ability to project physical illusions has created the perfect vacation spot—a dark, isolated Alaskan hideaway where visitors can have their wildest fantasies come true. 

Vivian knows the best performance requires perfect timing, but the powerful vamp is put to the test when she discovers a corpse in a locked guestroom minutes before the next arrivals. Always cool-headed, Rafe hides the body, convinced that he and Vivian can find the culprit without disturbing their guests.

Juggling the increasingly outrageous demands of their customers while tracking a killer isn’t easy. Will their poking and prodding give them the answers they need, or will it uncover secrets that Vivian would kill to protect?

This book contains some explicit sex scenes, intended for mature readers only.

Bonus Content! Ebooks downloaded after March 21st will contain excerpts of C.J.’s erotica novellas.

 


 

What the Reviewers Say
“Ms Ellisson has written a fun, charming, sexy, murder mystery. Along with the solving, we meet other characters that are very appealing and add to the storyline. Dria and Rafe spice up the pages with their constant sensual desire for each other, and the best part is that they can speak to each other mind to mind through their bond. So you have the wicked thoughts as well as the humorous ones.”
–Gloria Lakritz, Senior Reviewer for The Paranormal Romance Guild



“If you like vampires, steamy love sex scenes, and DRAMA- this is the book for you!!! I couldn’t read this book fast enough and still was hungry for more. You will not be dissapointed.”
–Char


“I am a great lover of vampire novels but this one really tops them! Vampire Vacation quickly became one of my favorite all-time novels, with its perfect mix of suspense, sex, and action. The reader is always on the edge of their seat when reading the novel and winding their way around the twists and tantalizing cliffhangers. And the sex scenes are so steamy that it seems that all of the Alaskan snow should melt!! You will finish this novel and want to read it again immediately!”
–Perpetua

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

Thrilling Adventure with a Sweet Love Story”



Here’s the set-up:

Professor Tikaya Komitopis isn’t a great beauty, a fearless warrior, or even someone who can walk and chew chicle at the same time, but her cryptography skills earn her wartime notoriety. When enemy marines show up at her family’s plantation, she expects the worst. But they’re not there to kill her. They need her to decode mysterious runes, and they ask for help in the manner typical of a conquering empire: they kidnap her, threaten her family, and throw her in the brig of their fastest steamship. 

Her only ally is a fellow prisoner who charms her with a passion for academics as great as her own. Together, they must decipher mind-altering alchemical artifacts, deadly poison rockets, and malevolent technological constructs, all while dodging assassination attempts from a rival power determined the expedition should fail. As if Tikaya didn’t have troubles enough, her new ally turns out to be exiled fleet admiral, Federias Starcrest, the man who recommended taking over her nation. To trust him could be a mistake; to fall in love with him would be a betrayal to her people, her family, and the fiancé she lost in the war. Those runes cloak more than mysteries, however, and he may be the only one who can help her unravel them before their secrets destroy the world.

 


 

What the Reviewers Say
“If there is one thing Buroker can do, it is write a wonderful story that has so many things encrypted into one. (See what I did there? 🙂 There’s romance, danger, magic, mystery, and so much more. I couldn’t help but get lost into her book… I can’t wait to read more by Buroker. Encrypted will captivate anyone.”
–Just Another Book Addict


“This book is well written and fun. The characters are interesting, the story is worth following and there are some nice twists and lessons in here. A good teen read with a bit of adventure, some romance and a bit of magic and science. Nice!”
–LeoneGDM


“Lyndsay Buroker is a new author for me but I am definitely putting future books on my must read list. It’s been very difficult in recent times to find a really good Sci Fi book that also has a little romance thrown in. I’m listing some of my other must read sci fi authors to give some comparison on what kind of category this book fits into. So some of my other favorite sci fi romance writers are Patricia Waddell, Ann Aguirre, Linnea Sinclair, Jayne Ann Krantz/Julia Quinn (Arcane Society series) and Jayne Castle. If you like these authors you’ll love Lyndsay Buroker too.”
–Book Collector


About the Author


I’ve been writing fantasy novels and short stories since I was seven. I’ve been finishing them since… well, that’s a more recent development. I’m a professional blogger for my day job, and I live in the Seattle area (“area” is code for ‘I couldn’t afford a house within twenty miles of the city limits and my neighbors have alpacas’). I have two vizslas who are as spoiled as most people’s kids. Occasionally they let me leave the house to play tennis, go to the coffee shop, or take a yoga class. 

My “Goblin Brothers” short stories are available on Amazon, and the first novel featuring those characters will be out in 2011. I have two more fantasy novels coming for the Kindle. Check back!

Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Monday, April 11: 7 Brand New Free Titles for You This Morning, plus … The President’s live-in private eye is back in Joseph Flynn’s The Hangman’s Companion (Today’s Sponsor)


Every teenage girl has secrets, but Melody Carlson pierces the thin veil between those secrets and grief, guilt, faith, and forgiveness in this morning’s latest addition to our 250+ Free Book Alert listings….

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

“This is a page turner. The President’s Henchman was excellent and this is even better. A great read on it’s own, the two books mesh totally… Fast paced and great characters make this the best two book series I have read in years.” –Donald S. Feazell


The Hangman’s Companion (A Jim McGill Novel)

“a rare feat, sequel that is every bit the equal of the original”
 

Here’s the set-up:

Always a good sport, Jim McGill, the first private-eye to live in the White House, agrees to accompany his wife, the president, to London to be her escort at a dinner given by the queen—yes, the one who lives in Buckingham Palace. Problem is, he’ll have a week in England beforehand, while the president attends a G8 meeting, with nothing to do.

Then a client comes to McGill, the daughter of a former Chicago cop McGill knew but didn’t like when he was a captain on the CPD. McGill’s former colleague went to Paris to scatter the ashes of his late, French-born wife in the Seine. While tending to that solemn obligation, the former cop managed to get into a brawl with and kill France’s national sports hero. The guy from Chicago claims he was only saving a blonde woman from being beaten by the Frenchman, as French law actually required him to do. Only problem is, the blonde has disappeared.

The former cop’s daughter asks McGill to find the woman and save her father.

Beats glad-handing the locals in nearby London, he decides. He just has to wrap up the case in time to get to dinner with the president and the queen.

ForeWord Magazine called The President’s Henchman “marvelously entertaining.” Its sequel, The Hangman’s Companion, is even more fun. With a French accent.


What the Reviewers Say
“This book contains, a monster that bathes in bear piss, gypies, NATO, a miracle, priests, the Queen of England[she is one smart old lady], child molesters, the President doing street fighting, a guitar playing French cop with a Silician body guard, and rice chrispe treats. In addition you have three different story lines going on. You are in the hands of writer who has his mojo going. Look every character could be turned into a book and I would read them. Sweetie, Deke, Father Nguyen, McGill’s kids, and of course Pruet who is the French version of McGill are worthy of novels of their own. Flynn just for the hell of it gives insight to The Undertaker’s past.

“Are you begining to see that this is must read. I loved The President’s Henchman, but I think I like this more.”
–Lost in Kansas’ James Corbett, Vine Voice

“Joe Flynn is a Zen Master in his writing; connected at many levels. His character development and relationships are thorough and fresh. Where he finds some of his characters is amazing as is his understanding of politics, not only national, but international. How Flynn gets all this inside info is beyond me. He has done his homework!! The Hangman’s Companion is full of suspense and tension; yes, a page-turner, one easy to follow even as the scenes and multiple plots switch from Washington to London to Paris. When does the movie version come out?? Love the strong, bold, smart US President!”
–Delinda Chapman

I loved this book! It is fast-paced and full of action. The main character, Jim McGill, is a detective with a great sense of humor and a quirky attitude… This character’s unique perspective is that he is the husband of the President of the United States, so you get international intrigue, diplomacy and current events thrown into the mix – which works beautifully!”
–R. Hammond

Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Sunday, April 10: A Brand New Molly Murphy Story, plus … Michelle Black’s SOLOMON SPRING, sequel to AN UNCOMMON ENEMY (Today’s Sponsor)

A free pre-order of Rhys Bowen’s story The Amersham Rubies is this morning’s latest addition to our 250+ Free Book Alert listings….

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

A special treat for Kindle Nation readers who recall the haunting story of Eden Murdoch in Michelle Black’s bestselling AN UNCOMMON ENEMY!

 
Now, in her sequel Solomon Spring, Eden and her true love Brad cross paths in their separate attempts to save the Cheyenne nation from the disinterest of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the over-interest of unscrupulous businessmen. Add in a predatory ex-husband, a long-lost child and a murder and you get a powerful work of historical fiction…

“Credible and engaging characters, particularly the fearless and feisty heroine, Eden Murdoch, together with a well-paced, suspenseful plot, make for a fine historical adventure yarn in this sequel to Black’s An Uncommon Enemy (2001).”
–Publishers Weekly


Solomon Spring (Novels of the Victorian West)

Lovable heroes, despicable villians, interesting times…



Here’s the set-up according to Booklist’s Sue O’Brien:

“In 1878, Commissioner of Indian Affairs Brad Randall heads west to reunite his former lover Eden Murdoch with her long-lost son. Captured by the Cheyenne while fleeing from her abusive husband, Eden has been rescued but remains sympathetic to her former tribe, whose ways she has come to respect. When the owner of Solomon Spring, sacred to the local Indians, decides to build an exclusive spa on the site, Eden creates powerful enemies when she fights to protect the spring. After an altercation with her former husband, she and Brad become the chief suspects when he is murdered. When Brad is sentenced to hang for the crime, Eden fights to save him. Eden is an unconventional, independent, principled heroine, and Brad is a compassionate man who takes his work seriously. The strong characters, the love between the two leads, the vivid details of life in the West in the late 1800s, and an engaging plot combine to make this an absorbing historical mystery.”

What the Reviewers Say
SOLOMON SPRING is a great work of historical fiction and an equally good historical mystery. Through the characters eyes we are able to see the plight of the Indians and their courage in the face of adversity. The romance between the two protagonists is quite good but takes a back seat to the who-done it. Michelle Black is a talented writer who will appeal to readers of mystery, romance and history.”
–Harriet Klausner, #1 Reviewer

“The heroes are good people with normal character flaws, and the villians are the kind of people you can easily hate. The story is tied in to real times and real events. The author is obviously very familiar with the Cheyenne Indians and the frontier during the latter 1800’s. A spellbinding book.”
–Winfield Scott


“This is an excellent way to learn about the Northern Cheyennes’ relocation to the Indian Territory, and their failed attempt to return to their northern homelands. Also well portrayed is the hard scrabble life on Kansas’ windy winter prairie, the rough-and-ready frontier justice, and society’s disapprobation toward a woman like Eden who does not follow the accepted norms for white women of her class.”
–Lyn Reese

About the Author
