99 Cent Romances discussion

I'm Edie Ramer. I love books and reading, and I love writing books, too. I have quite a few books published. Two of these books are the first novels in a series, and I decided to put them for 99 cents permanently. There are a lot of lists for free romances, and not as many for 99-cent books. So I decided to create my own.

If you know anyone who has a romance she/he plans on keeping at 99 cents for a long while, send them the link! The books can be found or added on the group's Bookshelf.

Readers: Introduce yourself! Tell us what kind of books you writer.

Writers: Tell us what makes your books unique. We want to hear.

And as much as I love short stories, this group is limited to novels and novellas.

Happy reading!

Edie

Hi Edie. I love to read and write books, too. I put my 99-cent romance on the bookshelf. It is permanently 99-cents.

Blurb:

Savannah Love is emotionally and physically battered but is determined to survive after escaping the hellish imprisonment imposed on her by her psychotic cop-husband. After seven months in hiding, she resurfaces at Mossy Oak, her ramshackle family home on a Louisiana bayou, and attempts to restart her life. The empty house provides shelter, but isn’t the fortress she needs when her cruel ex comes calling.

Mack O’Malley, former cop turned handyman, conflicted over a bad shoot on the job, comes to Savannah’s rescue when the psychopath draws them into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Fearful of Mack at first, she soon discovers that beneath his steely exterior lies a resolute defender with a heart hungry for love. Will their alliance save them, or will they fall victim to the Legend of Skeleton Bayou?

Hi Melanie, welcome to the group!

Thanks for setting up this group, Edie. I'm just in the process of re-releasing some novels and novellas to which rights have reverted. My first novella, GHOST OF A CHANCE, is now available on Amazon & B&N.

Caridad, I have GHOST OF A CHANCE on my Kindle! I'll make it my next book to read! I like novellas. My life is so busy, it's nice to have something I can read in one sitting. They're like mini-books, often with as much depth as a novel.

Hi Edie, thanks for setting this group up. I've put the first book of the Kandesky Vampire Chroncles, SNAP: The World Unfolds, here. It's available at Amazon, B&N and Kobo.
The series is paranormal romance/fantasy.
SNAP, a multinational celeb TV show and magazine, is the holy grail for Maxie Gwenoch. When she snags the job as managing editor, she's looking for fame, fortune and Jimmy Choos. What she finds is a media empire owned by Baron Kandesky and his family. A family of vampires. They're European, urbane, wealthy and mesmerizing. And when she meets Jean-Louis, vampire and co-worker, she's a goner.

The Kandesky vampire family rose in Hungary centuries ago. They gave up violence and killing to make a killing on the world's commodities markets and with that beginning they built SNAP, an international celebrity multimedia empire. Now cultured...and having found food substitutes for killing...they’ve cornered the world market for celebrity and gossip journalism.

They haven't fully left the past behind. Their Hungarian neighbors and rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks, maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have built.

Maxie believes she's found her ultimate career. She doesn't realize that she's found a family feud like none other, a centuries-old rivalry between vampire families, with her as the linchpin. Bells ring with Jean-Louis, but she doesn’t realize they’re alarm sirens until she learns that Jean-Louis is second in command of the Kandeskys...but by then it's too late.

Thank you, Edie. I've been crazy busy also. Glad the spring is here when I can maybe relax a little.

I didn't write about what makes my books unique. In these two books, Stardust Miracle and Dead People, it's definitely the distinct voices of the characters. And just like most women I know in real life, the heroines are strong women. Not kick-butt strong but strong in character and heart.

The men are strong, too, and good looking. But that's a given. :)

Michele, your Kandesky Vampire Chroncles series sounds fascinating! What a brilliant idea!

Hi Edie. I'm Tori Scott, author of 14 romance titles so far. I added Satisfaction Guaranteed, the first book in the Satisfaction series of novellas. These are light, fun books about a group of childhood friends who transition from friends to lovers.

Great idea, Edie! I just added Lady of Devices, the first book in my bestselling Magnificent Devices steampunk series:

London, 1889. Victoria is Queen. Charles Darwin’s son is Prime Minister. And steam is the power that runs the world.

At 17, Claire Trevelyan, daughter of Viscount St. Ives, was expected to do nothing more than pour an elegant cup of tea, sew a fine seam, and catch a rich husband. Unfortunately, Claire’s talents lie not in the ballroom, but in the chemistry lab, where things have a regrettable habit of blowing up. When her father gambles the estate on the combustion engine and loses, Claire finds herself down and out on the mean streets of London. But being a young woman of resources and intellect, she turns fortune on its head. It’s not long before a new leader rises in the underworld, known only as the Lady of Devices . . .

When she meets Andrew Malvern, a member of the Royal Society of Engineers, she realizes her talents may encompass more than the invention of explosive devices. They may help her realize her dreams and his . . . if they can both stay alive long enough to see that sometimes the closest friendships can trigger the greatest betrayals . . .

HI! I'm Desiree Holt, best selling author of erotic romance. I have a 99 cent book on Amazon and others, Collision Course. Here's the info on it:


He's discovered that his boss, international businessman Charles Bennett, is actually dealing in drugs and illegal arms. Killers are on his trail and Tate Buchanan needs a place to hide and use his hacking skills to get the evidence he needs. He finds it in tiny Connelly, Texas, where he also finds hotter than hot Casey McIntyre. After six years with the F.B.I. and four years in Afghanistan marked by a disastrous love affair, Casey is trying to put both her life and her shattered heart back together. Her instincts tell her that the stranger in the family restaurant has trouble on his back but her common sense tells her to stay as far away from him as possible. Of course, common sense never paid attention to combustible chemistry and it's not long before Casey and T.J. (as he now calls himself) are spending every minute together day and night. Can he find the proof he needs before the killers track him down? And when they do, can Casey use all her skills to protect him and keep him safe?
A man-in-jeopardy story for a change, where a kickass woman uses all her skills to protect the man she's come to love.

Tori, love your series title, Satisfaction Guaranteed! I'm often in the mood for light, fun books.

Shelly, steampunk is hot! Yours sounds like fun. Good for you!

Desiree, I see your name everywhere! Great blurb! I love books with kickass women.

Thank you so much!

Casey McIntyre is just my aspirational heroine, a woman tough as nails yet still feminine, with a wounded heart yet still willing to reach out to T.J.

Hi Edie, I'm an author with a 99 cent book - Carnival Temptress. I'm also new to Goodreads and fumbling my way through.

Carnival Temptress, The Revelers series novella, takes you to the wonderful, sunny island of Trinidad to enjoy Carnival. Micha Lindsey and her friends are heading to the annual festivities that promise to make them forget their worries and heartbreaks. Out of a job, and out of a relationship, Micha is ready to have Carnival work its magic on her. What she didn’t expect was for sexy, brooding Amar Jaikaran, her youthful crush, to be the one with the magic touch.

Note: Sexy, steamy romance. Graphic language and scenes.Carnival Temptress

Hello, Edie, and thank you for this list. I really enjoy reading novellas and short novels. I am definitely going to check out these books!
As a novella writer, I would like to offer my The Twin Planets Series, written under the pen name, Georgina Lee. The first in this sci-fi romance series is free, but the rest, like The Alliance, (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...) are only 99 cents and quite unique. The Alliance is a Marriage of Convenience tale with a twist. It's on a different world with two very different people.

I love steam punk! Put this book on my TBR pile.

Hi Edie,

My prequel novella to the Looking for Love series, LUCKY LOVE, is priced at $0.99.

Here's a little blurb:

For perpetually single Jazmyn Harding, what's worse than being desperate and dateless?

Jazmyn has no intention to visit Love, but after one too many disastrous dates she agrees to Aunt Flo's challenge: if she's single in a month, she'll swap Sydney for Love.

Determined to find Mr. Right, Jazmyn plays the dating game with renewed vigour. But as the clock ticks down and her man drought continues, how far will she go to avoid Love?

I hope you enjoy it, Barbara!

Michelle, right now we still have patches of snow on the ground. I could use a carnival - even if it's just a fictional one. :)

Barbara, love the marriage of convenience trope - especially with a sci fi twist. It's been awhile since I read one.

Hello all!

A friend directed me here. I dropped the price of Come and Talk to Me to 99¢ for a bit. It doesn't have a lot of reviews but I do get a lot of e-mails from readers. Most thank me for the cry. LOL. Gotta love this job!

Nice to meet you all!
June

June, great title! Welcome to the group.

I've just priced all my ebooks at 99 cents. It's a marketing strategy that should get me a little money and a lot of people good reads for not a lot of money. So if anyone wants to check out my contemporary romances, often with a supernatural element, here are the links:

Spirit Legend

Wanted Sharpshooter

When Dreams Do Come True

The Eye of the Universe

I'm in the middle of a book blast that'll last through Sunday. Today Spirit Legend is being featured at both http://www.lauries-interviews.blogspo... and http://www.carolineclemmons.blogspot.com

Couldn't find any other kind of discussions on this group so I'm posting here. If I get kicked off for cross-posting, so be it! I'm tough I can take it. Anyway, thought I'd mention that my latest post on my blog is titled 'Guns and 99 cent reads' just in case anyone is interested. I think there's a similarity. Kinda. (And where should I have posted this or does this group only accept intro posts?) My link, if anyone is interested is:

Thanks. Glad to know I'm not getting kicked out!
