Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of June 1, 2016
1. Killian: A West Bend Saints Romance by Sabrina Paige: “Killian Saint is wild and untamed, gruff and solitary, an arrogant loner from a family that people in West Bend say is no good. I should know better. A man like Killian should have no part of my life, not with a kid to raise and a bakery to run.”
2. A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest: “On the evening of Sofia Claremont’s seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake. A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood.”
3. Wednesday by Kendall Ryan: “It’s not what I really want, but it’s all he has to offer. He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me. How much I desire him, how desperate he makes me, how much I’d like things to be different between us. Real.”
4. Player: A Secret Baby Sports Romance by Aubrey Irons: “I was born into the high life: private schools, finishing classes – groomed to look pretty hanging on a rich man’s arm. That is, until I walk in on my fiancé f*cking his secretary across his desk. Now I’m a princess on the run, and escape from the life I never wanted steers me right into the last man I’d ever call a prince charming.”
5. Blitzed: A Secret Baby Sports Romance by Lauren Landish: “I’m normally not into jocks, but when Troy Wood asks me out, I feel like I’m the Chosen One. After all, he’s hot as hell and Silver Lake’s best athlete, practically the King of Campus.”
6. The Countess Conspiracy Book 3 by Courtney Milan: “Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised–and he laughs through it all.”
7. The Atlantis Gene by AG Riddle: “Read the novel that started it all: The Atlantis Gene is the first book in A.G. Riddle’s bestselling Origin Mystery trilogy, which has sold OVER ONE MILLION COPIES, is being translated into eighteen languages, and is in development to be a major motion picture!”
8. A Shade of Vampire 2: A Shade of Blood by Bella Forrest: “Having been delighted by the bestselling debut, A Shade of Vampire, readers are begging for more. In A Shade of Blood, Bella Forrest transports you deeper into a unique, enthralling and beautifully sensitive story. Prepare to be lost in its pages…”
9. Finding Snow by Alexa Riley: “Koda’s found his sister, Winnie, and now he’s made a life for himself in Gray Ridge, Colorado. As a bear shifter, he’s naturally a loner, and with so few females around, he’s resigned to never finding his mate. But when he stumbles upon a woman in the woods, his whole world changes.”
10. Reaper by Ashleigh Zavarelli: “He’s dark and mysterious. Quiet and lethal. An Irish mobster. Pure sin wrapped up in a beautiful package. But there’s also something off about him. He doesn’t feel anything. He shows no emotions.”
