Katja often these Alma Kelleher books show up as unavailable for me due to country restrictions

like this one, it looks like it's not even on sale for kindle, I can only see the paperback. And they won't sell it to me.

If she only wants Americans to read her book I will obey her wishes

Interesting - out of curiosity I googled for it and kindle version are sold in US, Can, India, Aus, and Brazil (i think). shrug.


message 9: by Katja (new)

Katja I have an account at the US store but the kindle version is not for sale for me, not even showing up. And the paperback wouldn't be shipped here either. Weird but I guess there are too many unread books to worry overmuch about missing out on one.

there's a Violet King book in this promo as well as something from a series called Love Austen by Britney Mills. The blurb didn't look very austenesque though

It’s not showing up in the Amazon UK Kindle store, either. The paperback is listed but is currently unavailable. Like you, I have an account on Amazon.com but can’t buy Kindle books from it. Even if I change my address to a US one (belonging to a friend who lives over there) Amazon.com knows, presumably from the IP address, that I’m not logging in from the US.

You can try a VPN to fix that problem, but it could also be the credit card that you have associated with your account has an out of country billing address.

Thanks, Jen. Will have to try that when I have the time. It’d be great if I could access Amazon.com to buy ebooks as I have a positive balance in my gift card account from giveaway prizes. Right now, I can’t spend it!


message 14: by Katja (new)

Katja My credit card is out of the US but my country does not have our own kindle store and I am usually able to buy kindle books from the .com store but Alma Kelleher is a rare exception. (That I know of. I guess I wouldn't know about all the books they're not showing to me. ) I can't get Kindle unlimited But usually getting the ebook for something I saw on goodreads is not a problem, as long as I'm willing to pay for it.

My bet (of $0.02 - which means nothing because Canada got rid of the penny years ago) is that it is the credit card billing address that is the blocker. bummer if so. double bummer that you don't have KU given the rate that you devour books. :(

Elizabeth Famous Calling all ARC readers!

Pemberley Beach by Elizabeth Famous is now available for review! Delve into a modern romance with intrigue and coastal charm.
📚🌊

Back Cover Blurb:
In Pemberley Beach, worlds collide at a high-society party where Will Darcy slights Elizabeth Bennet’s looks, setting the stage for their tumultuous relationship, fueled by wit, pride and an undercurrent of desire.

A contemporary twist on Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice, Pemberley Beach is set amongst the sun and sand of a modern seashore resort where Elizabeth’s quest to escape the trailer park she grew up in leads her into the path of arrogant Darcy, owner of beachfront Pemberley estate.

Elizabeth’s playful, teasing remarks are hard to ignore, and Darcy battles his unwitting attraction to her as his best friend starts dating Elizabeth’s older sister Jane. Suspicion about the Bennet girls’ reputation as “gold diggers” triggers controversy and misunderstandings.

After some verbal sparring at a private pool club, Darcy propositions Elizabeth — not with marriage as in the original Pride and Prejudice but with sex. She turns him down, giving him a tongue lashing he’ll never forget.

Contrite, Darcy apologizes and invites Elizabeth to a swanky jazz party at Pemberley. Sparks fly. What would their families and friends say if they started dating?

Enter seductive Wickham, Darcy’s nemesis, who poisons Elizabeth’s mind with outrageous stories about Darcy’s cruelty toward “his social inferiors.” Wickham, who’s as handsome as Darcy, does more than flirt with Elizabeth, and then uses his allure on her 18-year-old sister Lydia, weaving a web of deception and indiscretion that jeopardizes not only Elizabeth’s reputation but her burgeoning career as a music teacher.

Amid the escalating scandal, which has the whole town whispering, Darcy is confronted with a choice: give up on his undeniable feelings for Elizabeth or take a stand against the idea that Pemberley Beach would be polluted by someone like her.

That is really odd. It's not like it changed publishers to cause that. I'm glad you were able to hunt down the used paper copies, at least.

Christina Morland Good day, friends! I'm up today on Austen Variations with a story about the Gardiners, if you're one of those rare individuals interested in a P&P scene without Elizabeth or Darcy in it! :D

https://austenvariations.com/pp-the-u...

Hope you all are well and staying cool if you're in a hot part of the world! (I moved last week; so grateful -- especially for the sake of the guys who actually moved us -- that the weather was much cooler then! Thinking of all those who have to work outside in such heat...)

Thanks, all!
