A Free book!
Thank You, Mrs. M is a Kate Rothwell title and it's free through Monday June 3rd.
Go ahead, load the story onto your Kindle (and if you're like me, ignore it after that. I have about 100 freebies I load and forget [But, wait. No! Don't be like me].)
Here's a link to the freebie:

At the moment it's #25 in the college/new adult category...a category I didn't know exited.
Unlike a lot of Summer Devon titles, this is an m/f, but mostly it's an M, told in first person.
here are some reviews:
4.5 stars!
This is a sweet, funny and emotional tale. This modern take on Daddy-Long-Legs, by Jean Webster, has wonderful, fully developed characters... This incredible story will appeal to adult as well as young readers. --Romantic Times
Thank You, Mrs. M. is a wonderful read...This is a poignant and enjoyable read. --Night Owl Reviews
This is not just Daddy Long Legs gender-reversed and updated for shock value, but a thoughtful and really interesting re-imagining of how the story might play out in today's world.
There are light homages to the original, which add a bit of extra glow to the romance if you're a fan, but what really made the story for me were the differences. It turns out the unknown philanthropist, here dubbed by our narrator Ben as "Mrs. Moneybags," has private, very unexpected motivations for helping orphaned Ben through college. And it was appropriate that Ben, who's described as very smart and thinking outside the box, catches on to what those are. --willaful
I like Ben a lot and I hope you do too.
