Feed My Reader Friday #5


UPDATE: Just wanted to make sure you noticed two of my ebook posts this week that I also took advantage of: Two Kindle Freebies and New "Read Now" Titles at NetGalley.

I got some great ebooks this week (at least I hope they all turn out to be great). :) Normally when I get free ones, they are still free when I write my posts. However, this week I noticed that none of them stayed that way. So, I thought I should pass on that I get daily emails from Inspired Reads. They are for Christian Kindle deals, so if you're interested in those and seeing what they have listed as free or at a discounted rate, then sign up with them. I used a birthday gift card this week for some ebooks. Made it stretch a little farther. Here is what I got this week (the first one is a favorite of mine):

Goodreads summary:
After five years of tracking and capturing spies on English soil, Philip Jonquil, Earl of Lampton, is in pursuit of his last quarry. But at a traveler’s inn, he encounters an unexpected and far more maddening foe: Sorrel Kendrick, a young lady who is strikingly pretty, shockingly outspoken, and entirely unimpressed with him. Indeed, Sorrel cannot believe the nerve of this gentleman, who rudely accuses her of theft and insults her feminine dignity. Doubly annoyed when they both end up at a party hosted by mutual friends, Philip and Sorrel privately declare war on one another. But Philip’s tactics, which range from flirting to indifference, soon backfire as he finds himself reluctantly enjoying Sorrel’s company; and, much to her dismay, Sorrel finds Philip’s odd manner to be increasingly endearing. In the midst of this waning war and growing attraction, Philip catches wind of the French spy he’s been tracking, and Sorrel inadvertently stumbles upon a crucial piece of the puzzle, making her indispensable to the mission. But can two proud hearts negotiate a ceasefire when cooperation matters most?
