Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of July 29, 2016

1. Bossman by Vi Keeland: “The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression. I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.”

2. The Perfect Stroke by Jordan Marie: “Gray Lucas is everything I hate in a man. Cocky, rich, entitled and a player. He’s a pro athlete and his exploits are legendary—one of which was me.”

3. My Best Friend’s Brother by Hazel Kelly: “We used to call ourselves The Three Musketeers. I know it’s cliché, but we were only kids. They usually took turns being in charge, which was fine with me. I was just happy to go along with them.”

4. Cockpit by Joanna Blake: “I’m a thrill seeker. I fly the fastest jets in the world, and ride my motorcycle when I’m on the ground. The only thing that matters to me is speed. Why would I ever think about settling down?”

5. No Pants Required by Kim Karr: “I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.”

6. Lady and the Champ by Katherine Lace: “I  massage naked guys for a living, but it’s strictly business. As a physical therapist, I get my hands on the hottest guys in sports, but I’m a professional. I have rules.”

7. 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.”

8. Huge X3 by Stephanie Brother: “Imagine getting a chance to live out your filthiest fantasies. Would you take it? I dream about twins; four hands, two mouths and two other things HUGE enough to blow my mind.”

9. The Annie Graceland Cupcakes Cozy Mystery Series by Pamela DuMond: “She can see and talk with ghosts. Unfortunately they can see and talk with her as well, guilting her into investigating and solving their murders. These LOL cozy mysteries have a little romance, recipes, and even a cat!”

10. Gray Wolf Security by Glenna Sinclair: “This best selling series is now bundled together for the first time! Enjoy all 5 PRIVATE SECURITY ROMANCE books. No cliffhangers. More than 1,000 pages.”
