The Sapphire Sea: A Matt Ransom Mystery by Bobby Underwood 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

With its sexy mix of thrilling action and tangible sensuality, and a willingness to tackle subjects such as abuse and incest, suicide and faith within an entertaining sci-fi/mystery series often focused on global conspiracies in a world devoid of real love, The Sapphire Sea might just be the finest and most entertaining entry yet in the Matt Ransom canon. Big and sprawling -- there are over thirty pivotal and recurring characters -- yet almost uncomfortably intimate at times, the world of Matt Ransom is both intoxicating and addictive. By the seventh entry the world of Matt Ransom had moved from a dystopian Earth to one nearly fully recovered. In the previous entry, A Matt Ransom Christmas, readers were treated to intrigue as well as an ode to that most cherished of holidays. A startling story-line began to emerge that promised to rock this world to its foundations. That promise is fulfilled in The Sapphire Sea, a morally and sensually complex tearing down of everything readers thought they understood about this world. The Sapphire Sea remains true to all the intricate story-lines which preceded it, not to mention those all-important relationships, yet takes this most unique series in new and fresh directions. A Matt Ransom entry with one poignant moment after another, more achingly sensual encounters than can be counted, and a thrilling revenge and conspiracy story which moves like lightning despite being interwoven with the moral quandary Matt finds himself facing. The Sapphire Sea is the most ambitious Matt Ransom entry to date, which is saying a great deal. Stunning and heartbreaking, this one is so shocking, readers will find themselves asking: "Did that just happen?" A lot does happens here that could not have been anticipated by readers, including some deeply moving departures of beloved characters. A tearful yet uplifting ending make this one of the most memorable entries in the entire Matt Ransom canon.

Off Limits (Secrets Kept Book 1) by Riley Hart 4.5 Stars (2,614 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn't meet. We just texted -- one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father's expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. It would have been smart to keep my distance from the man who came out as gay, tearing our close families apart and breaking Maddy's heart. Except Ryder intrigues me. I like talking to him, same as I enjoy chatting to GoodWithHisHands. They weren't supposed to be the same person. I wasn't supposed to fall for him. To want him. To need him. Maddy didn't deserve to get hurt again, and I didn't need another reason to feel like an outsider in my own family. Ryder was off-limits. I knew that. Still, I couldn't make myself stay away. Off Limits is a sister's ex-husband romance with banter, feels, and two men who are perfect for each other, even if they shouldn't be. There's no cheating.

King Me: A Forever Wilde Novel by Lucy Lennox 4.6 Stars (3,436 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Falcon: Three years ago I arrived at the scene of an art heist to find Kingston Wilde tied to a radiator, claiming to be an innocent bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was only later I learned he was actually the elusive art thief I'd been tracking for years. And I was the one who'd let him sweet-talk his way out of my grasp. Ever since, I've made it my mission to get my hands on him again, and this time I don't plan on letting go. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. A priceless artifact has gone missing, and King is the only one who can help recover it. I thought nothing could be worse than being forced to work with the egotistical SOB, but I was wrong. Falling for the charming art thief in the middle of an operation is way, way worse. King: The key to being a good art thief is knowing when to call it quits. After one close call too many, I decide that time is now and head home to Hobie, Texas, intending to hang up my lock picks for good. Unfortunately, the FBI has other plans. Agent Dirk Falcon approaches me with an offer I can't refuse: full immunity for my past crimes in exchange for helping him with one last job. The catch? The job involves stealing from the very man who taught me everything I know. The same man who double-crossed me years ago. Pulling this off means trusting Falcon and his team, but how do I trust the sexy agent when he's staked his career on taking me down? King Me is the seventh book in the Forever Wilde series but you do not have to have read any of the others to enjoy it.

Off Key (Whispering Key) by May Archer 4.6 Stars (1,840 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

I'm about to sing you the saddest song in the universe, and it's called "The Man of My Dreams Married My Sister." It's kinda my theme song. And trust me when I tell you, it's heavy on the violins. Because the man in question? He's not just any guy, he's Rafe freakin' Goodman. My former best friend. The boy who made my summers on Whispering Key magical. The guy who inspired every love song that led to the chart-topping music career I have today. The man I always sort of figured would wait for me, while I pursued my dreams and finally found a way to tell the world I was gay... But instead of waiting, he married Aimee. Rafe and Aimee's marriage has been over for a while now, but it doesn't really matter. He doesn't love me even though I feel like I'll love him until the day I die. Trying to be "just friends" would tear me apart. We're a broken chord. A blue note. Hopelessly out of tune. Or so I thought. But when circumstances throw us back together on a crazy cross-country road trip, suddenly all kinds of secrets come to light that make it seem like maybe our show's not over yet. If I want a life with the man of my dreams, though, I'll have to be honest--with Rafe and the rest of the world, too--and find the courage to write us a new song. One that's exactly like us: perfectly imperfect... and a little off key.

The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple: A Serial Adventure (in Collected Form) by Sean Gibson (Kindle Select Publishing) 4.5 Stars (42 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

A bard walks in on a dark elf dealing cards to a beholder, a mind flayer, a demon, a grouchy-looking wizard, and what is either a vampire or a really pale guy with an unfortunate widow's peak... The set-up for a bad joke? Nope (well, maybe that, too) -- just a typical day at the office for adventuring partners Heloise, Erithea's most beautiful, witty, talented, and occasionally prone to talking in the third-person half-elven bard, and her powerful hill giant companion, Grimple, who doesn't look like a hill giant anymore because he made the mistake of crossing a lich and getting illusioned (yes, it's a word... or, at least, we're going to pretend it's one) into something even more ridiculous. (Grimple is kind of an idiot.) It turns out that getting adventuring work when your hill giant companion looks like a sickly gnome (despite retaining his giant strength) isn't easy, so what's a beautiful, witty, and talented half-elven bard to do? The answer, of course, is obvious: set off on a quest, idiotic hill giant partner in tow, to confront the lich who transformed him in the first place, and look really good doing it. Along the way, chances are good that adventures will be had, wrongs will be righted, songs will be sung, monsters will be smited, treasure will be won, and, perhaps, love will be made to burly dwarves (or, more accurately, dwarf, singular -- I'm not really a party girl). Part parody, part homage, and all woman, The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple lampoons the greatest fantasy adventures of yore even as it upholds the very best traditions of the genre (and, I might add, looks really good doing it). But, don't take my word for it -- here's what people across Erithea are saying about The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple: "The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple is one of the greatest sagas ever set to music by one of the, um, wait -- what did you want me to say here? I can't read your handwriting. 'One of the most talented, beautiful and sweet' -- does ...

Into the Americas (A novel based on a true story) by Lance Morcan (Sterling Gate Books) 4.4 Stars (884 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

INTO THE AMERICAS (A novel based on a true story) is a gritty, real-life adventure based on one of history's greatest survival stories. It was inspired by the diary entries of young English blacksmith John Jewitt during his time aboard the brigantine The Boston and also during his sojourn at Nootka Sound, on North America's western seaboard, from 1802 to 1805. Written by father-and-son writing team Lance & James Morcan (authors of The World Duology and The Orphan Trilogy), INTO THE AMERICAS is a tale of two vastly different cultures - Indigenous North American and European civilization - colliding head on. It is also a Romeo and Juliet story set in the wilderness. Nineteen year-old blacksmith John Jewitt is one of only two survivors after his crewmates clash with the fierce Mowachaht tribe in the Pacific Northwest. A life of slavery awaits John and his fellow survivor, a belligerent American sailmaker, in a village ruled by the iron fist of Maquina, the all-powerful chief. Desperate to taste freedom again, they make several doomed escape attempts over mountains and sea. Only their value to the tribe and John's relationship with Maquina prevents their captors from killing them. As the seasons pass, John 'goes Indian' after falling in love with Eu-stochee, a beautiful maiden. This further alienates him from his fellow captive whose defiance leads to violent consequences. In the bloodshed that follows, John discovers another side to himself - a side he never knew existed and a side he detests. His desire to be reunited with the family and friends he left behind returns even stronger than before. The stakes rise when John learns Eu-stochee is pregnant. When a final opportunity to escape arises, he must choose between returning to civilization or staying with Eu-stochee and their newborn son. INTO THE AMERICAS has been adapted to a feature film screenplay and is in early development with Morcan Motion Pictures.

CALIFORNIA RETRIAL by Pete Palamountain 4.0 Stars (345 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

86,211 wds. ARC comments: "Terrific legal thriller... characters alive and real. Felt like I knew each one of them personally." "Great courtroom story. I was anxious to solve the mystery and get answers, but sad to leave Dr. Rice and his friends and enemies. Exciting from start to finish." Dr. Michael Rice, a sports medicine surgeon, is convicted of the brutal murder of a teenage girl, the daughter of his clinic partner. After spending ten years in prison in Tehachapi, California, he receives word he's been granted a new trial; and to his astonishment, he's been given bail and temporary freedom as well. His hometown reacts with hatred and violence at his release, and he realizes he might not survive until his trial date, since local authorities seem more concerned with protecting the community from him than with attempts on his life. He's desperate to use his time to prove he's not a killer, but he's blocked at every turn by those with hidden motives and agendas. His wife Karen believes fiercely in his innocence, but she is hospitalized and unable to assist in his effort to uncover new evidence; and since the rest of his family is certain of his guilt, and his lawyer is useless, he has resigned himself to operating alone. But to his shock, he's joined by two unlikely allies who are as determined as he is to keep him out of prison and to solve the mystery of what really happened ten years ago. The team comes up with some startling revelations, but Michael is not convinced he can use the new information in court; and as the trial date approaches, he senses his freedom will soon be taken from him and he'll be back behind bars in Tehachapi. At trial, the drama in the courtroom unveils a variety of surprises, both for the prosecution and the defense; and by the time the jury retires, no one is certain of the outcome. "Boy, did I like this one. What a fine suspense thriller... learned so much about the California legal system."

Set in a courtroom in 1878 Victorian England, the play follows the trial of Mr. Jake Ashwood, a bladesmith's apprentice, for the murder of Mr. Vincent Vangilder at Mr. Vangilder's photographic studio.
