Enchanting Ella: I am a 1-Click Addict

My Name is Enchanting Ella, and I am a 1-click addict.

I'm in several book groups on Facebook.  Earlier this week there were many discussions on how many great books have released within the last 2 months.  This has apparently made me a 1-click addict.  $0.99 here and $1.99 there....before I knew it I had over 25 new books within 2 weeks.

I also have been taking advantage of the free books available for download.   These have been made available by the author's who are trying to promote upcoming books or get their names out there.  Made my reading list grow by miles.  I'm now roughly 30-35 books behind.   Thankfully I do not have a spouse to get upset with me for my bad spending habits.

I, however, am far from alone.  At least 30-40 other ladies mentioned having the same issues as myself. Phew, I'd hate to be alone in this addiction.  Books are such a great escape.  I wish I had more hours in the day to read.  My job sort of gets in the way.  But, without the job - I wouldn't be able to mouse over that good 'ol 1-click and get what I want as often as I want.  So I feel blessed to have that job that doesn't allow me to read for 9 hours of my awake time.

Do you suffer from the same 1-click addiction?  How often do you find yourself ordering new releases or books each week?  Do you have a book budget?

Series Update: The Temptresses Trilogy's "Twice the Temptation" (by Beverley Kendall)

Twice the Temptation

book one of "The Temptresses Trilogy"

Temptation is as old as Adam and Eve.  Unfortunately, succumbing to ..it is as natural as breathing to the gentlemen in the haut ton.  But the secret society of the TEMPT club (Test Eligible Males’ Proof of Trustworthiness) will save prospective brides bent on fidelity, by discerning the faithful from the philanderers.  And the founders and sole members of the club—Catherine Rutherford, Olivia Wakefield and Meghan Townsend—are ready and willing to apply themselves fully to that task.  What they hadn’t counted on was emotional entanglements…    - The Temptresses Trilogy by Beverley Kendall

If historical romance is your genre chances are you have already heard of Beverley Kendall's Elusive Lords Series.  The fourth and final book An Heir of Deception was released April 2012 and readers everywhere mourned the end to an epic tale.   

Well mourn no longer.  Ms. Kendall is already penning a continuation.  Her new trilogy, The Temptresses, picks up where the Elusive Lords Series leaves off.  The first book is titled Twice the Temptation and features Catherine "Katie" Rutherford (the twin sister to Charlotte, heroine of An Heir of Deception) and Lucas Beaumont (dear friend of Charlotte, appearing in An Heir of Deception).

Kendall provided an excerpt from Twice the Temptation to her Facebook followers today.  Swoon over it here.

Twice the Temptation has no release date yet, but Kendall hopes to publish it by the beginning of 2013.  We hope so, too, Bev.




After Twice the Temptation

The second book features Lord Granville (from Sinful Surrender) as the hero.
The third book features Lord Granville's sister - also Catherine's friend - as the heroine.

Kendall loves her work and loves to talk to you about it.  This article, for instance, was written after a Q&A session with Kendall on her Facebook page.  That's right.  Kendall gave us the name of her trilogy, a blurb, an explanation of heroes and heroines, an excerpt and permission to write what you're reading right now - all on her freaking wall.  She's a talented, talented lady and by far one of the most approachable romance writers I've encountered.
