Multi-Author Kobo Plus Promotion Today!

Today’s the day for the YOLO with KOBO Plus romance binge multi-author promotion!

YOLO with KOBO romance binge October 18, 2024

KOBO Plus is a subscription program, much like Kindle Unlimited – you pay a flat monthly fee when you subscribe and can read as much as you want. The big difference on my end is that books don’t have to be exclusive to KOBO to be enrolled in the program, which makes it win-win.

This promotion features a lot (over 400) romances that are enrolled in KOBO Plus right now. Although the promotion is inspired by the BookWorms promo, in this case, the books are enrolled in KOBO Plus for more than one day. That said, it’s a great way for you to discover new authors, new series and new reads, and KOBO has their own landing page in support of that.

You’ll find First Knights bundle on the historical romance landing page.

BookBub Featured Deal Results for The Crusader’s Kiss

I had a BookBub Featured Deal on October 2 for The Crusader’s Kiss at 99cents. Bartholomew and Anna’s story is book three of the series and has never been on sale before. Because I don’t like to start in the middle of anything, I also discounted The Crusader’s Bride, the series starter, to 99cents.

Let’s have a look at the results from the first day.

Here’s the BB ad:

BookBub Featured Deal for The Crusader's Kiss, October 2, 2024

And here’s how things shook out. The Crusader’s Kiss rose to #171 overall in the Kindle store, as well as sticking at #1 in Medieval Romance and Ancient World Romance.

The Crusader's Bride at  #171 overall in the Amazon US store and #1 in Medieval Romance and Ancient World Romance, October 2, 2024

I always like to have a look at the neighbouring titles so here’s the Ancient World list:

And here’s the medieval romance list:

Notice that all of the books except The Crusader’s Kiss are in Kindle Unlimited.

At Barnes & Noble, The Crusader’s Kiss is at #11 in paid romance. It says on the book product page that it’s #18 overall paid in the store, but I found it at #23 this morning.

All that in one day. 🙂 I’m counting this as a successful promotion.

I hope you’ve grabbed your copy of The Crusader’s Kiss, which will be on sale until the end of the month. The Crusader’s Bride is also a 99cent read, and the series bundle, where available, is also discounted to $12.99US or equivalent.

The Champions on Sale for October

This month, my Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances is on sale.

The ebook of The Crusader’s Kiss is discounted to 99cents through the 27th of October. This is the first time Bartholomew and Anna’s book has been on sale.


The Crusader's Kiss, book three of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Bartholomew burns to avenge the past—until Anna gives him a future…

Bartholomew returns to England to avenge his parents and reclaim his stolen legacy, only to be challenged by a band of thieves in the woods of the estate that was once his home. He captures the bold leader, only to discover that she is a maiden in disguise, with the wit and audacity that seizes his attention. He suggests a mock marriage to gain access to the keep, never guessing the union will tempt them both to desire more—but can Bartholomew trust a woman who survives by deception?

Anna wants only justice for the people of Haynesdale, no matter what the price, and does not welcome the interference of a foreign knight, however handsome he might be. Bartholomew could be a useful ally, if only she could be certain of his goals. Is this maddening and charming knight just using her to learn all she knows of the holding’s history for some mysterious cause?

When Bartholomew’s identity as the lost heir of Haynesdale is revealed, he becomes the prey of those who destroyed his family. Can he and Anna forget their distrust and work together for the future of Haynesdale—and their dawning love?
