Results for a BookBub Featured Deal

This week, I had a BookBub Featured Deal for The Wolf & the Witch as a free series starter. This is the first time that Maximilian and Alys’ book has been free – it’s time because the series is complete with the publication of The Scot & the Sorceress on Tuesday – so I was curious what the results would be like. They were great!

Let’s have a look. The Wolf & the Witch reached #6 overall free in the Amazon US store, which is incredible. Interestingly, this little summary left out the #1 in Medieval Historical romance, even though that was also the case.

This screen shot of the top eight free books in the Amazon US store is from the morning of August 29, one day after the launch of the promotion.

Here are the top eight free Scottish Historical romances in the Amazon US store on the morning of August 29, with The Wolf & the Witch at #1.

The Wolf & the Witch also reached #1 in Medieval Romance at Amazon.com by noon on the 28th. Here’s that list on the morning of August 29 – it’s interesting how many titles are on both lists:

Over at Apple, The Wolf & the Witch rose to #8 overall free in the Apple store – this screenshot is from the morning of August 29.

And The Wolf & the Witch was #6 free in Romance at Apple on August 29.

It’s interesting to note that the only other romances on both lists are contemporary romances and romantic comedies. A lot (a lot) of historical romance authors, particularly medieval and Scottish historical romance authors, have their books enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, which makes them exclusive to Amazon.

The Wolf & the Witch also did well at Nook and KOBO, but they don’t chart free books.

Another BookBub Featured Deal completed and a success!

The Wolf & the Witch, book one of the Blood Brothers trilogy of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

Denied his rightful legacy, Maximilian de Vries devised a plan to avenge himself upon his father and see his own future secured. Allied with his two half-brothers, he descends upon ancient and mysterious Kilderrick, determined to seize the keep once promised to him, regardless of the price. A woman rumored to be a witch is the sole one bold enough to defy him but Maximilian has a solution—he will take her to wife, whether she be willing or nay, and seal his claim.

But this powerful warrior has yet to match wits with Alys Armstrong, a maiden with a thirst for vengeance and a fury that might exceed his own. Alys has no intention of capitulating to the proud and powerful rogue who stole everything from her—no matter how seductive his touch might be—and she does not share his compulsion to fight fair.

Bitter enemies from the outset, Maximilian and Alys’ match is a battle of wills. When passion flares, will either of them be able to resist temptation? And when Kilderrick itself is in peril, will they join forces to save the holding they each prize—and the unexpected love they value above all else?
