Years later, Will finally makes his way home-as an English soldier sent to crush the Irish uprising. When he spies the lovely Eliza, he is captivated by the passionate woman she has become. But Eliza’s passions have led her to join the Irish rebel cause, and Will and Eliza now find themselves on opposite sides of a dangerous conflict.

Jane, how do you set up an alert on Amazon? I’ve tried several times to use their “email me when this product becomes available” link and that’s never worked. What do alerts do? It’s got to be better than constantly checking my wishlist.

@Darlynne: I use ereader iq for alerts.

Ereader iq looks neat! Is there something similar for Nook users that you are aware of?

@helen: No, unfortunately not. I suspect this is due to the fact that BN’s affiliate program is terrible so there is no incentive for a programmer to do this.
BN’s affiliate program is so terrible that despite actually selling things through the affiliate links, my account has always shown a negative balance. As if I owe them money or something. It’s quite bizarre. I don’t know of anyone who has actually received money from BN for their affiliate program. I just provide all the links as a courtesy.

Have been a huge fan of ereader iq since Jane posted about it – if anything it’s gotten me to buy a LOT more books than I would have forgotten without the sale reminder email. It completely befuddles me that Amazon and BN and other online booksellers don’t have something that will allow their users to get an alert when something on their wish list has a sale price. It seems like such a wasted opportunity. How can their marketing departments not be all over this?! I just don’t get it.

I really liked LAST TO DIE. $1.99 is a great price for that book.

I liked that entire Laurel McKee series. I still don’t understand why there are so many historicals set in Scotland and virtually none in Ireland. Okay, so the overwhelming tragedy and pathos of Irish history may contribute, but that’s also why the period/setting would be rich, I would think.
