Kindle Unlimited. It's an excellent invention for binge readers, especially those who like romances and zombie novels. (I.e. yours truly.) The deal is: for 10 bucks a month (or slightly less if you buy a yearly subscription) you have access to over one million titles for free. You can "check out" ten at a time, and keep on going until your eyeballs pop out. Sounds awesome. And it IS rather awesome. Will it have all the hot new releases you want to get your mitts on? No, probably not. It may have last year's though! What it does have is a lot of those slightly less well known romance authors whose stuff you may not be able to get through your local library. Ditto the science fiction/apocalypse authors. (For instance, I got this beauty to read, and they have the whole series on KU.) Does it look like an enormous waterbear trying to eat a ship to you too? The whole damn series is like this. I'm so excited!! Money is usually a bit tight for me, which is why I ...

Three Day Fiancée Author: Marissa Clarke Series: Animal Attraction, Book 2 Publisher: Entangled: Lovestruck Expected Publication: May 14, 2018 Rating: 5 stars Goodreads   Amazon Summary: Helicopter pilot Taylor Blankenship’s time schedule is maxed out. Between his job, his one-hundred and fifty pound slobbering mess of a dog, and his matchmaking grandmother, he has no time for anyone or anything-especially a woman. If only there were a way to get Grams to back down. The job of New York City dog walker suits Caitlin Ramos perfectly while she preps for her CPA exam—steady, scheduled, and requiring very little human interaction; a huge seller since she’s still on the mend from a toxic relationship. Men suck. Especially her bossy hot client with the Saint Bernard that thinks it’s a lap dog. No way will she go for his plan to pretend they’re engaged to get his grandmother off his case. Down, boy. Offered a bargain she can’t refuse, Caitlin finds herself playing the par...
