Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• The Cowboy Meets His Match (The 79th Copper Mountain Rodeo #1) by Sarah Mayberry from Tule Publishing — releases August 21st, 2018.
• Seeking Fate (The Fated #1) by Brenda Drake from Entangled: Crave (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases September 3rd, 2018.
• In Harmony by Emma Scott from the author — released February 13th, 2018.

ARCs From Authors/PR Companies:

• Desperate Measures (Aspen Falls #5) by Melissa Pearl & Anna Cruise — releases August 24th, 2018.  I still need to read book 4 first!
• The awful wonderful Story of Us by Jolene Perry — releases August 28th, 2018.
• Trick Play (Mavericks Tackle Love #3) by Max Monroe — releases August 14th, 2018.  I rolled the dice signing up for this late, and lo and behold it showed up on my Kindle!  I haven’t read the previous 2, but apparently I should be able to jump right in!!
• Catching Irish (The Summerhaven Trio #4) by Katy Regnery — releases August 20th, 2018.

Preorders That Went Live:

• A Date for Hannah (Love is for Everyone #1) by Callie Henry — released August 6th, 2018.  I actually could have put this up in ARCs I received, since I also got it in the last 2 weeks…but since I preordered it as well (it was a 99 cent preorder sale), I stuck it here.  This one was super sweet, see my review here.
• Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey — released August 9th, 2018.  Another 99 cent preorder sale!  I love those!  I’m super excited for this one, just not sure when I’ll fit it in.

New Releases:

• Dr. Strange Beard (Winston Brothers #5) by Penny Reid — released July 30th, 2018.  I’m not usually a $5+ book buyer, but there are some exceptions to every rule…and Roscoe’s book is definitely an exception.
• The Chase (Briar U #1) by Elle Kennedy — released August 4th, 2018.  This is a spin-off series from the Off-Campus series (which, btw, my favourite in that series is on sale for 99 cents: The Score), and I think the current price of $2.99 is a preorder/new release sale!

Audible Romance Package:

• #Nerd (Hashtag #1), #Hater (Hashtag #2), and #Player (Hashtag #3) by Cambria Hebert, narrated by Chandra Skyye and Eric Michael Summerer — I totally burned out after Book Bonanza, and couldn’t get into reading anything.  So I’ve let a few blog responsibilities slide, and I decided to reread a favourite series, but this time try the audio.  I still LOVE Eric Michael Summerer, and he’s the perfect Romeo.  But I was extremely put off by Chandra Skyye…not only did she not initially sound like Rimmel, but in #Nerd I swear they autotuned her voice or something, b/c it was beyond robotic and unnatural.  I had to speed her chapters up a lot so not notice it.  I’m almost done #Hater now and she’s not as robotic in this one.  Seriously makes me wonder what happened.  Try the sample, you’ll see.

Audiobooks:

• Gathering Water (Gathering Water #1) by Regan Claire, narrated by Jennifer Swanepoel — One of my favourite authors just released her first book in audio and offered me a code!  I can’t wait to listen to it!!

Got It On Sale:

• Letters to the Lost (Letters to the Lost #1) by Brigid Kemmerer — I saw some great reviews on this one, and wishlisted it.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $6.99, I one-clicked!  Still on sale!
• Hot Asset (21 Wall Street #1) by Lauren Layne — I have a NetGalley ARC of this one, but I didn’t get to it yet.  But since I have an eReaderIQ alert for all Lauren Layne books, I got an email that it was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $4.99 and figured I’d snag it so my eventual review is “verified purchase”.  Still on sale!
• Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin by Mariana Zapata — Another author I have an eReaderIQ alert for, and this one is on sale for $1.49 from its usual $2.99, so I snagged it!  Still on sale!
• In Skates Trouble (Chicago Rebels #0.5) by Kate Meader —  Deanna @A Novel Glimpse has reviewed some of the books by Ms. Meader, so when I saw this one on my BookBub email for free from its usual 99 cents, I one-clicked.  Still free!
• A Little Bit of Hot (Out of Uniform #9.5) by Elle Kennedy — Yet another author I have an eReaderIQ alert for, and this one is on sale for free from its usual 99 cents.  This might be a new price b/c it’s been free for awhile (though it only just became free in Canada, hence my one-click).
• Until You’re Mine (Fighting For Her #1) by Cindi Madsen — I LOVED the ARC I got of this one (see my review here), so I specifically wishlisted it (though I also have an alert for this author).  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $3.99, I snagged it!  Pretty new cover too!  Still on sale!
• The Replacement Crush by Lisa Brown Roberts — While this one didn’t have any stellar reviews from blogs I follow, the blurb intrigued me too much and I wishlisted it.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for free from its usual $5.99, I jumped on!  You can’t beat free!  And it’s still free!
• Magic Unmasked (Conspiracy of Magic #0.5) by Megan Crewe — So one of the author newsletters I’m subscribed to mentioned this prequel.  I have an ARC of book 1 (and no, haven’t read it yet), but I figured I should snag the prequel.  Technically I don’t know if this is a sale, or if they were just bringing it to attention, but I stuck it here.
• Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots #4) by Cindi Madsen — As I mentioned above, I have an eReaderIQ alert for this author, and I only had the ARC copy of this book (and loved it — my review), so since it is (or was?) on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99, I one-clicked.  Entangled: Embrace actually had a huge sale for most of their books for 99 cents, though only certain ones actually dropped for me in Canada (boo)…might still be on, it’s worth a look!!
• Crazy Love by Kendra C. Highley — This was part of the Entangled: Embrace sale, and it’s another NetGalley ARC I haven’t read yet, but this way I can snag it for 99 cents and get that “verified purchase” tag.  Not sure if it’s still on sale or not (it’s not for me).
• Driven (Driven #1) by K. Bromberg —  This is getting made into a PassionFlix movie/series, so when I saw this one on my BookBub email for free from its usual $3.99, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it out.  Still free!!
