Daily Deals: Signet Regencies for $2.99
Libby’s London Merchant by Carla Kelly. $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
An engaging Signet Regency Romance of mysterious suitors and surprising secrets from the “the powerful and wonderfully perceptive.”* Carla Kelly…
Available Digitally for the First TimeBeautiful Miss Libby Ames knew little about the man who landed unexpectedly at her country manor. Only that he called himself Mr. Nesbitt Duke, a London merchant. And after one look at Libby, he claimed he’d fallen in love. But it was soon clear that this handsome stranger was not being entirely truthful.
Arriving at Libby’s doorstep was not fate, but rather an encounter of Nesbitt’s own design. Furthermore, his position in life was far from that of a merchant. His name too was a lie. But his true identity was still not the greatest mystery. For Libby had no idea of the secret longings of her own heart—or what to do next about the mystery man, and the passionate love that has taken her by shocking surprise.
*New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney

I’d recommend the holiday shorts and The Nobody.
(I haven’t read any of these since they came out, so don’t hold me to these opinions in modern context) I adored The Nobody. It was a strong debut and fairly different from the Signet fare while fitting nicely into it. it hit when Sandra Heath was Signet’s big name and Farr was a refreshing difference.
The holiday collection isn’t my favorite of Layton’s shorts (that would be “The Gingerbread Man”) but the Metzger short is part of a series she had going. It was decent, and the Carla Kelly short is worth the price alone.

Hmmmm, looks like the $2.99 price is Kindle only. Clicking the BN link gets me pre-order prices of $4.99.

@Barb in Maryland: The price is set by the publisher so my guess is that BN just hasn’t made the change yet?

I’ve been wanting to get hold of “The Nobody” as an ebook for ages. I hope this means it’ll be available in the UK soon.

It looks as though quite a few of Carla Kelly’s are available on the Kindle for $2.99. At that price point, I’ll stock up on her backlist to replace my paper copies!

I’m so pleased that Signet is offering THE NOBODY at $2.99 …. the cover price is, indeed, $4.99 so I don’t know how long the discounted price will be in effect. (The author is always the last to know – LOL!) Thanks very much, everyone, for your kind words.
Happy reading to all of you -
Diane Farr
P.S. Is it OK to mention that the rest of my backlist is already available at $2.99 or less in ebook form? Because it is. :)

@Diane Farr: Any chance “Falling for Chloe” will be available for Nook users?

Thanks for asking! Yes, it’s my intent to do that … urk … I signed it up for Amazon’s Kindle Lending Library, which means I can’t place it with any of Amazon’s competitors until this 3-month period expires. August or September, I think.
all the best,
Diane
