As some people might have noticed, I collect the Silhouette Nocturnes.
I usually preorder them months in advance, to make sure I get them when they come out.
Well.
Apparently Amazon "can't source" them anymore.
I've emailed Amazon — no reply.
I've emailed Harlequin — "We're looking into it", since then, nothing.
It annoys the crap out of me. I collect the series, have done since book #1, even the ones I know  I won't like. I have every single one of them, nearly 90 books so far.
Now Mills & Boon release them in their own covers, and I'm guessing this is the reason why I can't get the US covers anymore via Amazon.
The trouble is, the numbers differ, the covers are complete rubbish over here. Keep your icky covers. I haven't bought a single M&B release in years, because of those covers. I'd rather go and get the US version of the book. (Especially those disgusting pink things.)
So where does this leave me?
Up the creek in a wire mesh canoe.

Thank you so much, Amazon, M&B and Harlequin.
Sort it out, will ya?
I can't be the only UK customer who prefers the US releases!

I ordered a batch of books in mid March. One of them was a pre-order for a book due for release 1st May.

You’d think I have the order by now, right? After all, when I placed it, the estimated delivery was 15th May.
About 2 weeks ago I checked and it said 6th June.
I just went to check on my second order and noticed the March order has gone out to JULY.
There was only one preordered book in this, it’s a Silhouette Nocturne and they get released beginning of the month. Considering I ordered nearly 2 months ago, you can’t tell me that they didn’t have stock in the meantime. What’s more, if I end up missing that book (I happen to like the previous two) I’ll end up paying a premium for it. Again. And I’m sick of it.
This is the third time a pre-order minced up the delivery and I’m going to look at someplace like Waterstones or Borders from now on.

Oh, not to mention, one of the pre-order books I placed previously? I ended up getting an email telling me it was “no longer available” and I ended up having to find a battered used copy someplace else.

Color me pissed. I am not impressed.
