Amazon Self-Published Bestsellers for the Week of October 22, 2015
1. The Air He Breathes by Brittany Cherry: “I was warned about Tristan Cole. “Stay away from him,” people said. “He’s cruel.” “He’s cold.” “He’s damaged.” It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.”
2. Bad Boy Daddy by Chance Carter: “The first time I saw Jackson, I hated his guts. He was everything I could never have. Pure, panty-wetting, manhood. And I was trapped in a loveless relationship with his worst enemy. I never would have dreamed he craved my womb so badly he was willing to do anything for it.”
3. Kian by Tijan: “As the heir to a billion dollar empire, his future was promising until the day he saved my life. Everything changed for both of us, and there was one more word that could be used to describe him—dangerous.”
4. Lev: A Shot Callers Novel by Belle Aurora: “From the moment Lev Leokov spots the young woman hiding behind her hair in the middle of the gentleman’s club, he can’t take his eyes off of her. For the very first time in his life, he is affected. Having been told his entire life that he can’t process or understand emotion, he considers it a big deal.”
5. Roomies by Claire Adams: “My name is Leila. I moved to New York City for a great internship opportunity but unfortunately it costs a fortune to live there. So I had to find a roommate. The best one I could find was Dane. Tattooed. Male Whore. And annoying. But he had the money to pay half the rent. My only problem? He wants more than just being my roommate…”
6. Impossible Series Boxset by Julia Sykes: “I hate him for what he’s done to me. But the longer I’m trapped with him, the harder it is to cling to that hatred. He is an enigma of a man, one who is shockingly arrogant, sweetly contrite, and frighteningly aggressive by turns. And the pain in his eyes is a mirror for my own.”
7. Mountain Lion by Terry Bolryder: “Cowboy and cougar shifter Wyatt Reynolds hasn’t put much thought toward settling down. He’s content to run his successful ranch in beautiful Montana. That is, until a small, mysterious person wanders into his office one day asking for a job but staying hidden behind an oversized coat and a wide-brimmed hat. Little does he know that this enigmatic person is about to change everything for him.”
8. Floored by Melanie Harlow: “While my house was being robbed, I was in the shower indulging my favorite Brad Pitt fantasy (the one with the Troy costume and the handcuffs.) But where is the justice in the world when the first cop on the scene is the former bully next door? How dare that arrogant jerk grow up to be six-foot-three inches of solid muscle with gorgeous blue eyes!”
9. Unleashed by Emilia Kincade: “I’m not looking for a wife, just a hot lay. I wanted a taste of Cassie the second I saw her. Hit it and quit it never sounded so damned good. If only it stayed that way.”
10. Mate Marked by Georgette St. Clair: “Look out, Shifters of Silver Peak, there’s a new sheriff in town. Unfortunately, it’s curvy, clumsy Chelsea Wintergreen, who knows how to make twenty flavors of cake pop but knows nothing about law enforcement. And even worse, after she’s suckered into letting the local pack deputize her, she finds out that her first assignment is…bringing in sexy, deadly Roman Kincaid, the leader of a rogue band of shifters.”
