Filling the Kindle Stocking for Less! Romance Sales for the Holidays.

I know of a few book sales going on and I thought I would share them with you. The genres are widely varied--contemporary, fantasy, historical--all of it threaded through with that one thing that Hallmark knows we crave in the winter time--romance.
Of course, none of these are holiday/winter themed romance. Any lumberjacks from hometowns that teach our heroines the true meaning of Christmas, well, that's purely coincidental.
Another thing that connects these books is that they're all $.99--that's right, one penny shy of a dollar. You save that penny. There's a penny shortage. Stores want that penny. But these authors don't. These authors are cool. Hip. They'll let you read their books and keep that penny.
Without further ado, here are the books that keep breaking up dollar families and converting them to change.

​In the six years since her husband was killed by S.W.A.T., Carrie Padilla has spent long hours at work, rebuilding a life for herself and her son. The little time she has at home is spent keeping her eight-year-old son out of trouble, but he is all too eager to try to be the man in the house. When a handsome cop shows up on her doorstep, her errant son in tow, Carrie's heart stutters. The sexy Italian cop sets off all kinds of bells in her system, and she knows there's only one thing she can do to save what is left of her family, her husband’s memory, and her heart...avoid her new neighbor at all costs.

S.W.A.T. officer Jake Stefani already lost one little boy to gang violence, the dead boy’s older brother is missing, and Jake's not about to let the same thing happen to a neighbor's son. He drags the youngster home only to discover much more than a passing interest in the boy's beautiful, but wary, mother. Forced to take a leave of absence after a bust goes awry, Jake can think of nothing better to occupy his time than to keep Carrie and her son safe, and locate the missing teen who holds the key to taking the gang off the streets, once and for all.

But Jake doesn’t count on his stubborn, intriguing neighbor distracting him from his job, or the passion that flares between them. He doesn’t expect her amazing son to steal a piece of his heart. Jake is ready to risk everything for Carrie, body and soul. But it’s not all up to him. If their new love is to survive, Carrie will need to be strong enough to see the man's beating heart behind the badge, to look beyond the pain of her past, and decide that loving again is worth the risk.

Susan Hutchinson ★★★★★
Patricia Bates gives us the tale of two people unwilling to allow their circumstances to control their fate. Salaria was born into slavery; Tritus was a captive of war and sold into that existence. Together they will try to break those bonds. Bates develops their relationship in the backdrop of brutal slavery and the violence of the gladiator games. Secrets abound in this tale which make the reader root harder for the heroes and salivate at just the idea of the villains’ comeuppance. Bates mastery of the time period, her ability to weave a story hard to put down, and her creation of well developed characters make this a must read.
Finley K. James ★★★★★This book was amazing! The characters were so relatable and realistic, and the imagery was gorgeous. I could see everything happening in my mind. The plot was so interesting and brilliantly executed. It was a wonderful read that I just couldn’t put down!
