ABOUT SADDLED AND SPURRED
This beauty is no greenhorn—and she’s about to rope in the man of her dreams.…
Cattleman Bran Turner has been left shorthanded, and rural Wyoming isn’t exactly a hotbed of job seekers. In fact, his only applicant is Harper Masterson, the town’s pampered former beauty queen. With no other options, he reluctantly hires her—even if the curvy cowgirl does get under his skin.
Harper’s getting a kick out of proving Bran wrong and showing him she’s qualified to pull calves, feed livestock, and handle backbreaking chores. But the hard-bodied cowboy isn’t all work and no horseplay. And when their nights start heating up, Harper realizes they might just be perfect for each other after all….

Marry Me
Cara Paulsen does not give up easily. A scientist and a single mother, she’s used to fighting for what she wants, keeping a cool head, and doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter Janie. But “whatever it takes” has never before included a shotgun wedding to a dangerous-looking stranger with an attitude problem. . .
Or Else
Sure, the mysterious Talen says that he’s there to protect Cara and Janie. He also says that he’s a three-hundred-year-old vampire. Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he’s had that long to practice. . .
Mr. and Mr. Smith by HelenKay Dimon $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Secrets and seduction make for an explosive combination in HelenKay Dimon’s edgy, thrilling new series, which kicks off with a novel about two men who can handle any threat—except the one posed by desire.
Fisher Braun knows how to keep a secret. As a covert paramilitary operative, his job—and his life—depends on it. He’s at the top of his game, ready for action and always in control. No enemy has ever brought him to his knees, but one lover has: Zachary Allen, the man currently sharing his bed. The perfect package of brains and brawn, Zach is someone worth coming home to, and Fisher hates keeping him in the dark about what he does. But the lies keep Zach safe. Until the day Fisher loses everything. . . .
Zachary Allen is no innocent civilian. Although he plays the tech geek, in reality he’s deep undercover for the CIA. In a horrible twist of fate, the criminal enterprise he’s infiltrated has set its sights on the man whose touch drives him wild. Zach would do anything for Fisher—except blow his own cover. Now, in order to save him, Zach must betray him first. And he needs Fisher to trust him with all his heart if they want to make it out alive.
Thief’s Magic by Trudi Canavan $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NATURE OF MAGIC.
In a world where an industrial revolution is powered by magic, Tyen, a student of archaeology, unearths a sentient book called Vella. Once a young sorcerer-bookbinder, Vella was transformed into a useful tool by one of the greatest sorcerers of history. Since then she has been collecting information, including a vital clue to the disaster Tyen’s world faces.
Elsewhere, in an land ruled by the priests, Rielle the dyer’s daughter has been taught that to use magic is to steal from the Angels. Yet she knows she has a talent for it, and that there is a corrupter in the city willing to teach her how to use it — should she dare to risk the Angels’ wrath.
But not everything is as Tyen and Rielle have been raised to believe. Not the nature of magic, nor the laws of their lands… and not even the people they trust.
AN EPIC NEW FANTASY ADVENTURE BEGINS.

Having read “Saddled and Spurred,” I’m not at all surprised by that reported number of pages of sex scenes.
Amazon pricing has gone bonkers again.
The ebook version of Fated by Rebecca Zanetti is not free but a whopping 14.99 for me. (and that’s excluding 25% VAT)
The rest of her books seem to be around 5 dollars. And the listed price is… 14 dollars. ???
Lorelei James’ books are hit and miss for me, but “Saddled & Spurred” is my favourite. There are approximately 80 unnecessary pages in there – I think that’s the case for a lot of her books – and many of them are sex scenes, so if you like extra sex, this is a good bet. If not, you can always skim. The romance here develops well with no insta-love, a good grovel scene, and a pretty sweet ending.
@Jolanda:
I just downloaded it for free. But maybe it’s differing by country? I’m in the US.
Alas, indeed!
@octoberwoman:
True. The free ebooks often are not free or even for sale outside the US.
But it doesn’t explain why this book costs 3x more than all her other ebooks or why it is more expensive than the listed price. The ebook prices seem to be based on prices of second-hand paperbacks.
