14 DAY TRIAL // It's not just music and apps. Sometimes, Apple makes sure to put together some good collections of books to get your imagination running.
This new selection is called "First in A Series: Romance" and it has so many iBooks that you'll be busy for the rest of the year. The iTunes page covers a few interesting categories: Contemporary, "New Adult," "Paranormal & Urban Fantasy," "Romantic Suspense" and "Historical & Western."
You can sort them by "Bestsellers," "Release Date," and "All-time Bestsellers." In order to download and read the books, you must have an iOS device with iBooks 1.3 or later, iOS 4.3.3 or later or a Mac running OS X 10.9.
Under Contemporary, the first one on the list is "Maid for the Billionaire" by Ruth Cardello, the first from a collection of five books that have been named "New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author." The first one is free, but you can buy Ruth Cardello's books from the same series with prices ranging from $2.99 (2.20 Euro) to $3.99 (2.93 Euro).
The All-Time Bestseller in the "New Adult Category" is actually a book listed as "Children's Fiction." It is called "Saving Wishes" by GJ Walker-Smith and it presents the story of a 17-year-old girl from Australia who doesn't fit the life she's living, and the boy who helps her realize why. There are five other books in this collection and you're going to have to pay $3.99 for each of those.
Next up is the "Paranormal & Urban Fantasy" selection of books. 28 stories that may have something in common. Most of them are books about wolves, vampires and other monsters.
The first one highlighted by iBookstore editors is "The Fallen Star" by Jessica Sorensen, also listed in "Children's Fiction" collection.
If you feel attracted by Romantic Suspense, you are going to need some time as well, because there are 23 books in this selection. First up: "Dirty Little Secrets" by Liliana Hart. The author has written three other books in the same Mysteries collection and she has received the title of "New York Times Bestselling Author."
Last but not least, iBookstore editors have picked eleven books for the "Historical & Western" collection. The all-time bestseller here is "Intentions of the Earl" by Rose Gordon. If you like this one, you're going to have to pay $3.99 (2.93 Euro) for the other two books in this series.
