Matzoh and Mistletoe by Jodie Griffin $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Every December twenty-fifth, Rebeccah Rickman volunteers through her synagogue so that others can celebrate Christmas. Her usual mitzvah, or good deed, is assisting police officer Jeremy Kohler.

Or his longing to instruct her in the fine art of submission…

The Lady in Red by Kelly Bowen $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
A lady with secrets, a man with a burning desire, a love that breaks all the rules
Lady Charlotte Beaumont has spent her whole life being ignored. By her parents, her brother, even the servants. So she was secretly able to develop her talent for painting well beyond the usual watercolors. Too bad no one will let her actually use it-women are rarely accepted into the Royal Academy. But when a connection at the Haverhall School for Young Ladies gets Charlotte her dream commission, she’ll do whatever it takes to make it work. Including disguising herself as “Charlie.”
Flynn Rutledge has something to prove. His lowly upbringing is not going to stop him from achieving his artistic dreams. This commission is the key to his future, and his partner, an unknown youth in oversized clothes who is barely old enough to shave, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. But Charlie does inspire Flynn’s artistic passion-something he worried he might have lost forever. For all his street smarts, nothing can prepare Flynn for the shock of Charlie’s true identity. He doesn’t care that she’s a woman, but a lady of the ton is a different matter altogether . . .
Tight by Alessandra Torre $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
This is not a story of servitude. This is a story of strength.
I was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.
I also hadn’t got laid in three years. Hadn’t been on a date in two. Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup… a while ago.
Then Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He flipped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my heart I thought was dead.
The issue is his secret.
The issue is her.
The issue is that I don’t even know she exists, and he thinks she’s dead.
The issue is that shit is about to hit the fan and I can’t hold on to him tight enough.
Note to Readers: This standalone book contains themes which could be considered dark.
It’s too bad, but the summary for ADDICTED TO HIM is Exhibit A for how a badly-written blurb can kill any interest in a book. “Will Armani slow her role …” Yikes.
“Matzoh and Mistletoe”? Really?
It’s not easy finding non-Christmas holiday books!
@Darlynne: I don’t even understand that blurb!! It looks like a hot mess to me. *backs away slowly*
@Jane: I would have bought it but it’s not on special for me! Boo!
@Darlynne So glad I’m not the only one confused by that blurb. If I can’t make heads or tails out of the description, I’m not going to bother with the book.
And the last one confuses me, too. “The issue is that I don’t even know she exists,”…well then why, exactly, is there an issue? I get that someone you don’t know exists might suddenly appear in your life and become an issue, but that doesn’t equate to them being a current issue.
It’s too early for befuddling blurbs.
