Romance Remedy
The cure for your romance addiction

Y’all, we did a thing. See, we’re sick of searching Amazon and Facebook for new-to-us authors because Bezos and Zuckerberg have made it darn near impossible. So we put a call out to romance authors and convinced a bunch of them to volunteer as tribute each month. They’ll offer their books to you for FREE in the hopes that maybe you’ll see fit to tell your friends and reader groups about the books you like AND throw a review their way (on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or BookBub). Now, it’s important to note that you don’t HAVE to leave a review. But taking a free book and not leaving a review is a kind of a dick move that will likely result in bad book karma being thrown your way for years to come. Just sayin’. Why chance it, you know? But I digress...

How it works
  1. Look through the free offerings for the month below. New offerings will pop up on this same page on the first of every month starting on Nov 1, 2019. ​
  2. Decide what you want to read. For your convenience, we’ve included the blurbs, tropes, and the heat level you can expect for each book. You can see descriptions of the heat levels here.
  3. ​Fill out this form.
  4. We’ll send your books straight to your Kindle. IMPORTANT: there’s a spot on the form that provides instructions for setting up Romance Rehab as an approved sender to your Kindle. You’ll have to do that BEFORE you request any books. And also, we’re only sending straight to Kindle at this time. So for all you Nook and Kobo readers...sorry. Bygones. Please allow 24-hours-ish for your book(s) to arrive. (Note: We will only send books to one Kindle email address per person. Requests to additional Kindle email addresses will be deleted.)
  5. When you’re done reading, consider leaving a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or BookBub. Note: it doesn’t have to be a good review. If you don’t like the book, it’s perfectly OK for you to voice your opinions. Don’t hold back. And if you’re not usually a reviewer, don’t worry about writing a lengthy review. Reviews consisting of “It was good” or “It sucked ass” are perfectly acceptable.

    IMPORTANT: When you’re leaving a review for the books you requested, you should add the following statement to the end in order to avoid having the review deleted by booksellers:

    “I received a free copy via Romance Rehab and Romance Remedy.”

That’s it. Couldn’t be simpler! 

So, happy reading! You’re welcome.

​
Note: the chilli peppers indicate the story’s heat level, not the book’s quality.

Kimberly Simmons is gorgeous, brilliant, and way out of my league. She’s definitely not the type to fall for a guy who walked away from his family's fortune to become an architect. Good thing, too, because she works for Wolfe Industries, making her completely off-limits. Nailing this pitch to Wolfe’s CEO is exactly what I need to make my bosses forget about the last time I mixed business with pleasure. Too bad she has the most beautiful brown eyes and dazzling smile I’ve ever seen. Too bad I can’t stop staring.

Adam Price is a talented rising star architect at Will and Peking Designs. His newest design submission for The Wolfe Industries Caribbean Expansion is set to dazzle my CEO. If Adam's design wins, with my help, I could get promoted, which means his big strong arms and gorgeous lips are strictly forbidden. It’s a good thing, too, because he has a reputation for leaving a trail of broken hearts all over Manhattan and I’m pretty sure I couldn't survive a second heartbreak. Too bad every word he says makes me smile. Too bad he gives me a sense of calm I haven't felt in a long time.

Keeping their relationship strictly professional for the sake of their jobs was the perfect excuse to stay away from each other. Too bad fate and undeniable chemistry have other plans…

I wanted to die with my world. When the barbaric race of men called the Kraw came, they took everything. My family, my dreams, my home, and my will to live. In return I received nightmares, brutality, and despair. The Gifted of my race failed us, despite their great power, and the rest of us were at the mercy of our brutal conquerors as our world crumbled.

But not all of these warriors were savage and cruel, and not all of my world was despair. As the lines between our peoples became blurred, I found that a Kraw warrior, a traitor bound for death, could love like no other. With every touch of his war forged hands, the betrayal to my own people ran deeper, and my loyalties shifted ever more.

Pushed to breaking, I was forced to find the strength to rise above my captors and become the conqueror. Faced with the brutal truth of my cataclysmic world, I made a choice to sacrifice more than I ever imagined to save my world and the man I loved.

He’s a broken man searching through the past for answers.
She’s his childhood best friend he had no idea he was in love with.

Thomas Capshaw never thought he’d put his dreams of being a sketch artist on the back burner and end up working in New York City far from home. The very last thing he expects is the inheritance of his famous grandfather’s beach cottage on the sandy shores of Florida where he spent his childhood summers.

Emeline Fischer is an aspiring artist trying to make ends meet, working an assortment of odd jobs while painting her dreams on canvas in hopes of landing her own gallery show someday. When she is Thomas’s waitress during her shift at the local beach diner, she immediately recognizes her sensitive childhood friend who promised long ago to protect her from her unstable home life when they were teens.

The two friends take a journey into their past through a box of photos left behind at Cap Cottage and rediscover their mutual passion for art - and each other. Thomas doesn’t plan to fall in love with Emmy - but maybe he’s always been in love with her. Can he forgive himself for his past mistakes and start over in the only place that ever felt like home? Or will his guilt and the demands of his cutthroat, big-city career prevent him from following his heart and reuniting with the only woman he ever truly loved?

Finding out that her husband was a bigamist didn’t devastate Portia Stefani; she held her head high when she forced him out of her life. But losing her beloved music school as a result of the traitorous bastard's gambling debts almost destroyed her. The only way she’ll be able to make ends meet is to accept a lucrative tutoring position in remote Cornwall. What Portia hasn't anticipated is the life-altering impact that her mesmerizing new employer has on her.
​

Stacy Harrington learned the hard way to keep people at a distance. Playing the piano is the only thing that makes his solitary life enjoyable these days, and he’ll be damned if he allows his albinism to keep him from everything he loves. Bringing a private music tutor into his home is disruptive, but it’s the only solution. Unfortunately, nothing could have prepared him for the overwhelming attraction he feels toward his fiery new employee.

It’s not long before a shared passion for music develops into something infinitely deeper. But when ghosts from the past—along with some very dark secrets—emerge to threaten everything they’ve built, can Stacy and Portia continue to make beautiful music together? Or will their happily ever after end on a painful, discordant note?
