No discounting. I buy my ebooks from Amazon and mostly buy from pubs like HQ and Samhain because they allow discounting. Books that I can't buy at a discount I check out from the library.<br /><br />And I do think that the Grace Burrowes book would stand alone OK, although some of the family dynamics would likely make more sense if you'd read earlier entries in the series. But that all is a small part of the book.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-67955950526604905332012-11-14T14:42:33.625-05:002012-11-14T14:42:33.625-05:00I was going to say the same thing as Hilcia did ab...I was going to say the same thing as Hilcia did about the latest Thomas book--so many conflicting reviews! What do you mean by agency pricing on this book?<br /><br />Also, can the Gracie novel be read as a holiday stand alone or is it better to read the whole series?

So there's a tab now with just pictures. I need to get them labeled and in order. Anyhow, so glad you like it. It's nice to shake things up once in awhile!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-35502777649873419932012-11-14T08:28:12.615-05:002012-11-14T08:28:12.615-05:00Just came by, and what do I see?

I love the deep blue background. :D <br /><br />PS: I'm hoping to read the Goodman trilogy this month... I'm kind of getting in that historical romance reading mood.

I don't blame you for choosing not to read it.<br /><br />I'm glad you got the Thorne Brothers trilogy. I'm anxious to hear what you think when you get around to reading them. Enjoy!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665665401551658932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673158161831273523.post-38061930745725577412012-11-13T15:18:53.416-05:002012-11-13T15:18:53.416-05:00Oh Phyl, I just purchased the Jo Goodman Thorne Br...Oh Phyl, I just purchased the Jo Goodman Thorne Brothers trilogy this last weekend. I can't wait to read it. :D Now more than before since it's a fave for you. <br /><br />RE: Tempting the Bride by Thomas. I've read such widely differing reviews about this book and the characters, I don't know what to think of it! I'm not a Thomas fan although I enjoyed her first two books, so I probably won't read it... but I find such divergent reviews fascinating. LOL! Some people really, really dislike Helena to the point where they think she's nasty! And others really seem to dislike Hastings! Yet others seem to dislike the whole amnesia plotline, and others love it. This book certainly brings forth strong emotions. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it so much. :D Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.com
