Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of August 5, 2015
1. Arrogant Bastard by Winter Renshaw: “The last time my father beat me to a bloody pulp was the night he walked in on me banging my step-mother in his bed. To be fair, she seduced me. And to be honest, I liked it. But to CPS, I was a victim.”
2. Gray Back Bad Bear by T.S. Joyce: “Matt Barns is on a mission. The goal of this mission? Find a mate before his broken bear drives him into madness. He knows exactly what he’s looking for, but when his bear finally settles for a mate, she dumps his world upside down. She’s funny, sure, but other than that, she’s not his type in any way.”
3. Fallen Crest University by Tijan: “Fallen Crest is back with a vengeance! Samantha, Mason, and Logan are all together and united with one common enemy: Park Sebastian, the king of fraternity douchebags.”
4. Skin Deep by Pamela Clare: “Megan Hunter has worked hard to get back on her feet, leaving the nightmare of her teenage years behind. The last thing she wants or needs in her life is a man. But when she is attacked by someone from her past, a scarred stranger intervenes, saving her life and that of her little girl.”
5. Indulge by Georgia Cates: “Beau Emerson is no gentleman. Those hazel eyes. That filthy mouth.
That greedy, hard body. It all equates to one thing. Irresistible.”
6. Big Bad Bear by Terry Bolryder: “His name is Zeus, and for years he brought the thunder as an elite special forces squad leader and undercover bear shifter. Now that he’s out of the service and living quietly in the woods above a remote mountain town, he has just one mission left.”
7. Paradise Falls by Abigail Graham: “For five years, I’ve lived in fear. No one will stop my stalker. Nobody can – his father is a senator. Alone and powerless, I couldn’t run, couldn’t hide, couldn’t escape. Then I met Jacob.”
8. Bootycall by J.D. Hawkins: “When you’re the prince of Hollywood, and everyone wants a piece of the action. I’ve got paparazzi stalking my every move, and supermodels lined up to spread their legs for a shot at fame. But this girl is different. She’s been hired by the studio to keep me in line. One wrong move, and my comeback is going up in smoke.”
9. Kick, Push by Jay McLean: “There’s a single defining moment within every skater. It lasts only a second. Two if you’re good. Three if you’re really good. It’s the moment you’re in the air, your board somewhere beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you.”
10. Constitution: Book One of the Legacy Fleet Trilogy by Nick Webb: “The year is 2650, 75 years ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Without warning. Without mercy. We were not prepared.”
