Shannon McKenna’s McCloud Brothers Bundle by Shannon McKenna $ 2.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Behind Closed Doors
Seth Mackey knows everything about the women his boss Victor Lazar toys with. But Lazar’s latest plaything, Raine Cameron, is different. Raine is pure temptation, but Seth can’t slip up: he’s convinced Lazar had his half-brother killed and plans to prove it. But then he finds out that Raine may be Lazar’s next victim…
Raine has her own reasons to seek revenge on Lazar, and she will, despite the distracting presence of Seth Mackey. He stirs her most erotic fantasies…and inspires her bold plan. Offering her body to him, surrendering to his ruthless desire, might well push her beyond all emotional limits–and beyond fear itself.

Erin has been harboring secret fantasies about Connor McCloud since she met him–but that was before he sent her father to jail. Now Connor is knocking on her door, telling her she needs his protection. He’s sworn to guard her with his life and his fierce protectiveness awakens long-buried feelings…

Broke and on the run, Margot has no one to turn to. But the closer Davy gets, the more Margot discovers that holding back from this enigmatic, powerful man is impossible. In every way…

On the very day an arsonist burns down Liv Endicott’s bookstore, she finds fate has another shock in store for her. Amid the smoke, rubble, and tears, Sean McCloud appears, calling her name. He’s still the man she kept on wanting. But wanting is not the same as trusting, and she doesn’t dare let him get too close. But a ruthless killer is gunning for Liv, and she’ll die unless they join forces to unearth a chilling truth–and come together in a blaze of searing passion…
Extreme Danger

Nick Ward can’t tell her that he’s spying on a vicious Russian crime boss. Becca could be an assassin sent to kill him, a call girl sent to distract him, or the worst scenario of all–a clueless innocent. Anyway he looks at it, she’s trouble: beautiful, bare, dripping-wet trouble…
Ultimate Weapon
Covert operations are what Val Janos is all about. The man is mysterious and sinister, and lethally hot. Only Tamara can understand the strange intensity that drives him to win at all costs–and only she can match it.
Val has one weak spot: Imre, the man who befriended him when he was a scared, hungry kid abandoned on the streets of Budapest. But Daddy Novak knows about Imre, and his head is on the block if Val doesn’t deliver Tam up to Novak’s tender mercies…

But when Kev discovers who she really is, Edie’s only choice is to trust him. And soon, Edie can’t resist her consuming desire–even though she knows she’ll have to pay a price for it.

The 10-Year Reunion by Susan Wiggs $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Enjoy this fan-favorite story of blind dates, high school reunions and unexpected romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs, originally published as HUSBAND FOR HIRE in 1999.
Beautician Twyla McCabe was voted most likely to succeed in her high school graduating class, but a run of bad luck forced her to give up her dreams of college and a career. Now a widow with a six-year-old and essentially Dear Abby with a blow-dryer, she longs to show up at her ten-year school reunion with a date she can show off. But when her well-meaning customers arrange for her to attend the Hell Creek High School Reunion with Rob Carter, M.D., Twyla knows they’ve gone too far. Who would believe a woman who dyed hair for a living could be engaged to such a hunk?
I borrowed Six of Crows, and it’s sequel, from the library, then ran out and bought my own copies. At that price, it’s well worth giving it a try.
I bought Viable Threat by Julie Rowe for 99 cents. Romantic suspense with a CDC epidemiologist and the military guy guarding her body while she investigates a biological terrorist attack. A “meh” review stated it read like an episode of 24 and the romance felt hectic and rushed, so I’ll be reading mostly for the suspense part.
We originally borrowed Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom from the library as well; since they are now DD’s favorite books, ever, like Lostshadows, we have since bought our own copies. :)
@Lostshadows and @flchen1:
Borrowed it and then had to buy is probably the closest thing to “recommendation catnip” it gets.
Bought.
Am I the only one that gets the links wrong?
(Example: The links for the McKenna bundle are under the “Six of Crows” book, the links for “Six of Crows” are beneath the anthology, etc.)
