The Alcolar Family Trilogy - the right version!

Thanks to the 100,000  Book Challenge, I made an unexpected discovery about the Harlequin ebook bundle version of The Alcolar Family Trilogy. The bundle is supposed to contain all the Alcolar books - That's The 12 Month Mistress, The Spaniard's Inconvenient Wife, Bound By Blackmail and the on-line read that started off the whole thing - Wife For Real which is Alex Alcolar's story.

The bundle is specially advertised as being unique in having this: And as a very special free bonus, also included in this bundle is Wife for Real, the original online read that inspired Kate Walker to create the Alcolar family trilogy, available now for the first time ever.   

But here on eHarlequin, I was chatting with Deb who had bought the Alcolar Family Trilogy and downloaded it onto her Kindle. I was puzzled because she had reviewed a book about two characters called Jordan and Katherine under the title of Wife For Real. Now the hero and heroine in my story are called Alex and Louise and the plot of this read is nothing like the summary Deb posted!

So I have no idea what has happened here. I'm just glad that I found out about this mistake before the bundle had been on sale for too long. I made some enquiries about the problem in the hope of finding out what's going on, and with the help of eHarlequin's great team I've managed to get things sorted out.

Yesterday I heard from the Digital Content Manager that they had checked the book bundle  collection published as  Kate Walker's Alcolar Family Trilogy and found that 

somehow the wrong file was included in the bundle during pre-production and the error has been replicated in all eBook formats.  So they are are taking swift steps to have it corrected, including contacting via email all those who purchased the bundle to notify them of the problem.  A corrected version of the bundle is in the process of being converted and proof-read, and the new version should be posted on all sites by Monday.

So if you did get the wrong version, with the mystery book in with it, you should be contacted by Harlequin so that you can get hold of the proper version.  MY thanks go to Harlequin for acting so quickly on this.

Next month will see the publication of the print version of The Alcolar Family in the UK in the By Request series. (Though it's already available over on the Mills and Boon website). This edition has the three main stories in it. And if you want to read Alex's story then just a reminder that it's included in the on-line read library on the M&B site - or you can buy it as an ebook (for just $0.99) here  on eHarlequin

And my very special thanks go to Deb for buying, reading and reviewing The Alcolar Family Trilogy  and so bringing this problem to light so it could be sorted out before many other people bought the wrong version and didn't get a copy of Wife For Real.

And if you were going to buy this book bundle - just wait until Monday and then you'll get the correct version.

Thanks again Deb!
