Cherie Amour by D. Rose $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Since childhood, Jasmine Ashford had a twisted perception of love. After watching her father look for love in the streets, while her mother looked for love at the bottom of the bottle, she vowed never to fall victim of love’s cruel ways. That is until she befriends, Jamaal.
Jamaal Davis gave his heart to one woman, and she left him without looking back. After years apart, she comes back with hopes of rekindling an old flame; the only problem is that his heart belongs to someone else, his best friend, Jasmine.
Their mutual disdain for love and relationships was the foundation of their friendship. When Jamaal notices his platonic feelings for Jasmine growing into more he has a hard time ignoring them. Jasmine, on the other hand, has a hard time accepting the sudden shift in their friendship.
What will it take for Jasmine to see that Jamaal was made to love her?
London Celebrities Collection by Lucy Parker $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
“If there is a queen of banter award, it definitely should go to Ms. Parker… Wit, snark and a good comeuppance are a delight for fans of romantic comedies.” —Harlequin Junkie
The first three full-length novels in Lucy Parker’s delightfully charming London Celebrities series, available together for the first time.
ACT LIKE IT
This just in: romance takes center stage as West End theatre’s Richard Troy steps out with none other than castmate Elaine Graham
Have the tides turned? Has English rose Lainie Graham made London’s bad boy a new man?
Sources say the mismatched pair has been spotted at multiple events, arm in arm and hip to hip. From fits of jealousy to longing looks and heated whispers, onlookers are stunned by this blooming romance.
Could the rumors be right? Could this unlikely romance be the real thing? Or are these gifted stage actors playing us all?
PRETTY FACE
It’s not actress Lily Lamprey’s fault that she’s all curves and has the kind of voice that can fog up a camera lens. She wants to prove where her real talents lie—and that’s not on a casting couch, thank you. Luc Savage has respect, integrity and experience. He also has it bad for Lily. He’d be willing to dismiss it as a midlife crisis, but this exasperating, irresistible woman is actually a very talented actress. Unfortunately, their romance is not only raising questions about Lily’s suddenly rising career, it’s threatening Luc’s professional reputation.
The course of true love never did run smooth. But if they’re not careful, it could bring down the curtain on both their careers…
MAKING UP
Once upon a time, circus artist Trix Lane was the best around. Her spark vanished with her confidence, though, and reclaiming either has proved…difficult. So when she’s unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, the joy over her sudden elevation in status is cut short by a new hire on the makeup team.
Leo Magasiva: disgraced wizard of special effects. He of the beautiful voice and impressive beard. Complete dickhead and—in an unexpected twist—an enragingly good kisser.
When it comes to commitment, Trix has been there, done that, never wants to do it again. And Leo’s this close to the job of a lifetime, which would take him away from London—and from Trix. Their past is a constant barrier between them.
It seems hopeless.
Utterly impossible.
And yet…

Complicated by Kristen Ashley $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
When small town Nebraska sheriff Hixon Drake meets Greta Dare, the connection couldn’t be stronger, but the timing couldn’t be worse.
Dealing with the fallout of a divorce he never wanted and setting up a new home for his kids, Hix becomes that guy, that one he never wanted to be, and puts a stop to things before they can even start. Protecting his kids, and himself, is his only priority.
Greta, on the other hand, has found the place for her and the brother she adores that’s perfect for them—a sleepy little town in Nebraska. She’s learned from life that there are no hopes and dreams. The only thing to look forward to is peace. And that’s what she works hard to build for herself and her brother. Right up until Hix walks into her life.
Hix can’t fight the pull and stay away from Greta for long. And Greta’s finding it hard not to hope for something more with all the promise that is Hix.
But when the first murder that’s happened in over five decades rocks his small, sleepy county, Hix has got to learn to trust again, convince Greta to take a shot with him, and at the same time catch a killer.
In other words, things are definitely…Complicated.
If I didn’t already own all three of the Lucy Parker books, I’d definitely buy that set! I enjoyed all three stories.
I never quite gelled with the samples of any of the Parker books to buy them but I definitely would have at that price, given how much love they’ve had from other readers. Alas, on amazon.com.au the collection is $13.60. Still cheaper than the $21 if bought individually, but still a nope. I paid those kind of prices pre-ebooks when there were hardly any proper romance bookstores in Australia and there was no alternative, but thankfully I’m not that desperate anymore.
@oceanjasper: Yeah, sadly Harper Collins don’t tend to pass on those kinds of savings to their Australian customers. :(
The best protine sames are the lean ones – egg whites, lean meat, turkey, chicken, and fish.
this also happens because your body just does not respond well to
unnatural dieting. This is a great start and you may see results with grapefruit to lose weight
pretty quickly.
