Free #Romance and #Suspense - 2 novels free to August 3! #MFRWorg


Time for a Book Vacation with free novels!

Free until August 3: Coffee and Crushes at the Cat Café: a Furrever Friends Sweet Romance
Kari doesn't have time for love when she's opening her new cat café. She’s busy hiring employees, fighting with the health inspector – oh, and welcoming 16 shelter cats. But when a sexy master baker walks in, she can’t let him get away. So what does she do with the guy of her dreams? Set him up with her sister, of course. 

If you’ve read and enjoyed the book, send it to someone else who might enjoy it!

Find the book on my Amazon US page or Amazon UK page. (For other countries click here. I think it’s free everywhere, but it’s possible Amazon doesn’t agree, so let me know if you have a problem.)

As a bonus, check out the Furrever Friends Cat Café with a free sweet romance novella complete at 35 pages. Get Lions and Love at the Cat Café free when you sign up for the Kris Bock email newsletter.

In college, Cheyenne and Nash were inseparable. Then she followed her dream, heading to Asia to work on big cat conservation. Nash stayed behind, protecting his secret: a phobia of all cats.

Fifteen years later, Cheyenne comes home. Can Nash convince her to stay and give him another chance?

The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat). These sweet romances will leave you with the warm, cozy feeling of cuddling a purring cat. 

Also free until August 3: The Mad Monk's Treasure, “Smart romance with an 'Indiana Jones' feel,” is ranked 4.7 out of 5 stars with over 50 reviews.

The Victorio Peak treasure is the stuff of legends. When a quiet history professor uncovers a clue to the lost treasure, she prepares for adventure. But she’s not the only one after the treasure. Is the handsome pilot who rescued her a hero or the enemy?

“The story has it all – action, romance, danger, intrigue, lost treasure, not to mention a sizzling relationship....” The Mad Monk’s Treasure is the first of the Southwest Treasure Hunters novels. Each novel stands alone, has a happy ending for the main couple, and is complete, with no cliffhangers. This series mixes action and adventure with romance. The stories explore the Southwest, especially New Mexico.

Find the book on my Amazon US page or Amazon UK page. (For other countries click here. Again, I think it’s free everywhere, but let me know if you have a problem.)

Funny Cats, Small-Town #Romance, and Great Series! #MFRWorg #BookBuzz

Join my newsletter and get a glimpse into the Furrever Friends Cat Café with a free sweet romance novella complete at 35 pages. Lions and Love at the Cat Café is available in PDF, MOBI, and ePub. Get it free when you sign up for the Kris Bock email newsletter.

Cat cafés in the news: Despite the shut down, cat cafés are finding ways to allow small numbers of customers to play with the cats. Cat & Craft Café even had five adoptions last weekend! Spay and neuter programs were on hold for several months this spring, leading to a huge overflow of kittens. Cat cafés help shelters find homes for these animals.


Start a New Series for Less Than $5

I don't know about you, but I've been having trouble finding new books that fully engage me. (Blame it on quarantine brain.) Here you can check out some new series with first books from $0.99 to $4.99. The collection has plenty of romance (both sweet and spicy), some fantasy, and some really creepy looking horror novels. If you find something you like, you have the comfort of knowing there are more books in the series! See the options here.

Small Town Romances

Do you like stories of women who leave the big city for quaint small towns, or romance on holiday? Get small-town romance books free for review. Visit beaches and boardwalks, quaint small towns in the Midwest, the South, or New Zealand – all for free if you plan to review the book. Check out the choices.

Cute of the day: This Funny Cat Named Zelda posts funny pics and cat poetry, such as this gem:

She told me that it's Mother's Day

She said she wanted flowers

I ate a plant and threw it up

And stared at her for hours

A Cat Cafe Sweet #Romance on Sale #Sweetromance #ContemporaryRomance

My fourth cat cafe book, Romance and Rescues at theCat Café, is on sale for 99 cents in the Kindle Store. Holly and Duncan go on a road trip to rescue dozens of cats from a spooky house before they're trapped by a snowstorm!

Excerpt:

They sat in the van, staring out at the dark, looming house.

“I suppose it only looks like a haunted house because it’s so dark out here,” Holly muttered.

“Yeah.”

The crescent moon didn’t provide much light, but at least the snow reflected enough moonlight to faintly reveal windows and show overgrown bushes against the house.

Dustin tried to imagine the house in daylight. While he was at it, he imagined a fresh coat of paint instead of the peeling surface that made the house look like it suffered from a skin disease. He could almost picture the gloomy building as a pleasant farmhouse.

But it took a lot of imagination.

“Two stories, plus probably an attic,” Holly said. “Maybe a basement. That’s a lot of room for cats to hide.”

They looked at each other. Merlin stood on his back legs, his front paws against the dashboard. His tail rose high and flicked back and forth.

Holly drew in a deep breath. “We can’t stay out here all night.”

Get Romance and Rescues at theCat Café," on sale for 99 cents until July 22.

Can getting stranded in a creepy house full of abandoned cats turn these enemies into friends—or even something more?

After a rotten week, Holly jumps at the chance to go on a rescue mission. Dozens of cats are stranded in a remote house where the owner has died. They’ve been abandoned, and she can sympathize. But she did not agree to make the road trip with Dustin, her rival and biggest headache at the cat café where they both work.

Dustin has given up trying to get Holly to like him. Still, a long drive through a snowstorm and an overnight in a house full of cats might bring them together—or result in his violent demise. But what they find is worse than they ever imagined: no lights, no heat, the snow still coming down, and over twenty hungry, skittish cats. They’ll have to work as a team to survive and save the animals.

One thing is certain—if they make it back alive, their relationship won’t be the same.

The Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat). These sweet romances will leave you with the warm, cozy feeling of cuddling a purring cat.

This title stars Merlin, the Maine coon cat readers adore, and many more cats to fall in love with. It includes the tropes two against the world, antagonist to lovers or enemies to lovers, and forced proximity.

Check out the Cat Café Series with a Free Sweet #Romance Novella #MFRWHooks #Sweetromance

Get a glimpse into the Furrever Friends Cat Café with a free sweet romance novella complete at 36 pages. Lions and Love at the Cat Café is available in PDF, MOBI, and ePub. Get it free when you sign up for the KrisBock email newsletter.

Chapter 1 excerpt

Cheyenne stopped in front of the Furrever Friends Cat Café and gazed through the windows. A man crouched on the floor, holding a long stick with a string on the end. He waved the stick, and a cat leapt for the bundle of feathers on the other end of the string. The cat had to be adorable – after all, every cat was – but she couldn’t look away from the man. His crouched position didn’t hide his long legs and broad shoulders. The curve of his cheek, the angle of his jaw, the dark hair falling over his forehead – they were more familiar than her own face.

But it couldn’t be Nash. Not here. He hated cats, always had, wouldn’t go near them. That had destroyed their relationship all those years ago.

Cheyenne stared, blinked, and stared some more. The sight didn’t change. The clean café windows and bright lights inside left no doubt. He might have filled out a little, gained a touch of grey in his dark hair, but it couldn’t be anyone else.

Her ex-boyfriend was in a cat café. Playing with a cat. It didn’t make sense.

The black and white cat pounced on the bunch of feathers and pinned it to the ground. Nash appeared to be laughing. He gave the stick little tugs until the feathers popped out of the cat’s grip. 

Cheyenne’s eyes stung. At one point, she’d wanted little more than to know she might someday see this scene. But that was long ago. This came far too late. That made it worse than never seeing it at all.

Lions and Love at the Cat Café

In college, Cheyenne and Nash were inseparable. Then she followed her dream, heading to Asia to work on big cat conservation. Nash stayed behind, protecting his secret: a phobia of all cats. 

Fifteen years later, Cheyenne comes home. Can Nash convince her to stay and give him another chance?
