No Choice But Seduction<\/em><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Choice But Seduction\u00a0<\/em>by Johanna Lindsey is $1.99! This is book nine in the\u00a0Mallory-Anderson Families\u00a0<\/em>series. It\u2019s had a cover update since its release in 2008. l think the old cover feels a lot dreamier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey will be delighted by this ninth novel about the aristocratic Malory family\u2014a passionate, high-spirited Regency romance filled with adventure, family secrets, and a high-stakes kidnapping.<\/p>\n

After her mother dies, vivacious Katey Tyler flees her dull Connecticut town for Europe, hoping to finally meet her British relatives and experience a life-changing adventure. She has no idea just how far her travels will take her\u2014especially when she stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping.<\/p>\n

When Sir Anthony Malory\u2019s young daughter is kidnapped from London\u2019s Hyde Park, the ransom note is accidentally sent to the home of his brother, James, and is intercepted by houseguest Boyd Anderson. The notoriously hot-headed American sea captain joins Anthony in the search for the missing girl, hardly expecting that his pursuit will have him cross paths with the exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship.<\/p>\n

Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson\u2014and in meeting up with the Malorys\u2014she\u2019s about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour. A multitude of surprises await her, from the startling truth about her mother\u2019s early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him\u2014but who can\u2019t resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her.<\/p>\n

With \u201cwitty writing, charmingly unique characters, and a sexy love story\u201d (Booklist), No Choice But Seduction will sweep you away on an irresistible romantic adventure that is as bold and charming as the heroine at its heart.<\/p>\n

Homemaker<\/em><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: Homemaker<\/em>\u00a0by Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare is $2.49 at Amazon!\u00a0Sarah reviewed this and gave it a B+<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Homemaker is extremely, vibrantly feminist, though Prairie is not so much angry all the time (she is sometimes) as she is fed up and unafraid to point out all of the ways that women\u2019s perceptions, labor, and accomplishments are devalued \u2013 unless that women\u2019s work makes the man in her life look good to other people.<\/em><\/p>\n

When a former friend and devoted mother vanishes, a confident homemaker turned amateur sleuth follows an unexpected trail of scandals and secrets to find her.\n

Prairie Nightingale is both the midlife mother of two teenage girls and a canny entrepreneur who has turned homemaking into a salaried profession. She\u2019s also fascinated with the gritty details of other people\u2019s lives. So when seemingly perfect Lisa Radcliffe, a member of her former mom-friends circle, suddenly disappears, it\u2019s in Prairie\u2019s nature to find out why.<\/p>\n

Given her innate talent for vital pattern recognition, Prairie is out to catch a few clues by taking a long, hard look at everyone in Lisa\u2019s life\u2014and uncovering their secrets. Including Lisa\u2019s. Prairie\u2019s dogged curiosity is especially irritating to FBI agent Foster Rosemare, the first interesting man Prairie has met since her divorce. His square jaw and sharp suits don\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n

But even as the investigation begins to wreak havoc on Prairie\u2019s carefully tended homelife, she\u2019s resolved to use her multivalent homemaking skills to solve the mystery of a missing mom\u2014and along the way discover the thrill of her new sleuthing ambitions.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: The Four Tendencies<\/em> by Gretchen Rubin is $1.99! Sarah previously gave it B+<\/a>:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious about your own habit formation, what motivates you, and how to work with your own tendency, you should definitely take the quiz and check out the book. It would likely be an insightful read.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this groundbreaking analysis of personality type, bestselling author of\u00a0Better Than Before\u00a0and\u00a0The Happiness Project\u00a0Gretchen Rubin reveals the one simple question that will transform what you do at home, at work, and in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During her multibook investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question \u201cHow do I respond to expectations?\u201d we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.<\/p>\n

More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change.<\/p>\n
