My Bluegrass Baby by Molly Harper. $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Sadie Hutchins loves her job at the Kentucky Tourism Commission. Not only could her co-workers double as the cast of Parks & Recreation, but she loves finding the unusual sites, hidden gems, and just-plain-odd tourist attractions of her home state. She’s a shoo-in for the director’s job when her boss retires at the end of the year…until hotshot Josh Vaughn shows up to challenge her for the position.
Josh is all sophisticated polish while Sadie’s country comfort, and the two have very different ideas of what makes a good campaign. So when their boss pits them against each other in a winner-takes-all contest, they’re both willing to fight dirty if it means getting what they want. But it turns out, what Josh and Sadie want could be each other—and Josh’s kisses are the best Kentucky attraction Sadie’s found yet!

Texas Pride: Night Riders by Leigh Greenwood. $ .99.
From the Jacket Copy:
A PRINCE AMONG MEN
Carla Reece had never met anyone more infuriating in her life. The blond giant who swaggered up to her door had no right to take over half her ranch – no matter how stupid her brother had been gambling it away in a high-stakes poker game. Her new foreman claimed to be some foreign royalty who promised to leave in a year. Still, a year was way too long to spend with a man who made her madder than a wet hen and weak in the knees all at the same time.
A HELLION AMONG WOMEN
Ivan may have charmed everyone in town into thinking he was the perfect gentleman, but Carla knew better. There had to be a chink in his armor-a red-hot passion under that calm, cool gaze. But once she finds it, she may be in for more than she ever bargained for…

I’ve never tried a book by Grace Burrowes, but she sure does seem to crank ‘em out quickly. I looked on Amazon and she’s had 9 books and 2 novellas with release dates between Dec. 2010 and April 2013.
I’m thinking about getting the Molly Harper book. But the chick lit comment gives me pause.

I love the way Grace Burrowes writes, but Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal frustrated the heck out of me. She dithers about and doesn’t let the hero know what’s going on until about 75/80% of the way through the story. Felt like it dragged on for quite some time, and then it rushes to finish up at the end of the book. Really pretty writing though.

@Rosie: I read and reviewd And One Last Thing…in 2011 and liked it – but then I enjoy Chick Lit.

I loved My Bluegrass Baby-I thought it was really fun and I liked the characters. It’s a little like chick-lit, but it’s also like a romance novel. Sort of a blend. I think where it might fall flat in some romance readers eyes is the ending, but I enjoyed it.
I tried reading Grace Burrowes first book, The Heir, and could not get through it. I might have been able to finish it if it was a contemporary-but her historical accuracy drove me up the wall and I DNFed it.

There are a bunch of Lavinia Kent books on sale for $1.99. Has anyone here read her books?
Jan 07, 2013 @ 08:03:57
@Susan: Four of those $1.99 books are very short novellas.

She wrote a lot of books before she was ever published, and they’re all being spiffed up and released now. She said on her Facebook page that she’ll have a book out every month this year.
I love her writing! She’s one of my very few auto-buys. Courtney Milan’s another. :D
