Off Limits (Secrets Kept Book 1) by Riley Hart (2,614 Reviews)    Price verified 36 minutes 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.

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) (42 Reviews)    Price verified one hour 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?

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.

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."
