Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of May 4, 2016

1. Beautiful Distraction by J.C. Reed: “Kellan Boyd always gets what he wants–except that one infuriating city girl who bumped into his new chick magnet sports car, dared to call him a jerk, and threw his pity check in his face.”

2. The Summer Games: Settling the Score by R.S. Grey: “As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she’s landed in Rio, she’s ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true.”

3. Mister O by Lauren Blakely: “Just call me Mister O. Because YOUR pleasure is my super power. Making a woman feel ‘oh-god-that’s-good’ is the name of the game, and if a man can’t get the job done, he should get out of the bedroom. I’m talking toe-curling, mind-blowing, sheet-grabbing ecstasy.”

4. The Exception by Sandi Lynn: “I grew up wealthy and was given everything my parents wanted me to have. After years of being molded into the perfect daughter, I played a role. I was only what they wanted me to be.”

5. The Atlantis Gene by A.G. Riddle: “70,000 years ago, the human race almost went extinct.
We survived, but no one knows how. Until now. The countdown to the next stage of human evolution is about to begin, and humanity might not survive this time.”

6. Irish: A Bad Boy Fighter Romance by Olivia Hawthorne & Olivia Long: “Knox O’Connor is on top of it all, the UFC’s Heavyweight Champion of the world, hot, single, arrogant and reputed to never stay with the same woman for more than a couple quick shags.”

7. Dirty Box Set: “Authors Hannah Ford, Ella London, Locklyn Marx, Paige North and Kelly Favor combine to bring you the sexiest, hottest romance—guaranteed to leave you wanting more…and feeling DIRTY!”

8. His Princess by Abigail Graham: “The Crown Prince took me prisoner. You read that right. Crown Prince. Castle, throne, the whole nine yards. The monarch of a totalitarian regime has locked me up in his fortress, and he demands that I marry him… and provide him with an heir!”

9. Heart of the Hunter by Chance Carter: “Tattoos over every inch of his rippling muscles? Check again. Hunter is everything I’d always been warned against. He’s the man they always told me to steer clear of. And he’s the man I want more than anything I ever saw in my life.”

10. Dirty Billionaire by Meghan March: “I’ve got a big dick and an even bigger bank account. That’s pretty much where my bio ends. Honestly, I don’t need to say anything else. I’ve just sold 99% of women on going home with me. Do I sound like an asshole to you?”
