Amazon Free Promo A Huge Success
Boots and Stilettos Amazon ranking was a huge success! Every now and then, you get one of those “wait… is this real?” moments.
That happened when Boots and Stilettos started climbing the Amazon charts and didn’t stop. During the recent free Kindle promotion, the book hit #65 in the entire Free Kindle Store, plus it landed in the Top 10 of multiple romance categories, including #2 in Clean & Wholesome Romance, #3 in Western & Frontier Romance eBooks, and #7 in Small Town Romance eBooks.
That’s not just a nice screenshot for the scrapbook. It’s proof that readers are finding the story, diving in, and telling other readers, “Hey… you need this one.”
If you’re new here, let me give you the quick setup, then I’ll show you exactly where to grab it, why Kindle Unlimited matters, and what readers keep saying they love about this story.
What the Amazon ranking really means…in plain English
Amazon rankings move fast. Like Montana weather and Italian family opinions, they can change in a hurry.
But when a book breaks into the top ranks across multiple categories, it usually signals three things:
- People are downloading and reading it quickly
- The story is resonating
- The book is gaining momentum through word of mouth
That’s why I’m proud of that run. Hitting those category ranks, and seeing the “5-star reviews” stacking up, tells me the story is connecting the way I hoped it would.
So what is Boots and Stilettos?
It’s a clean, heartfelt, small-town western romance with a bit of bite.
You’ve got Annie, an Italian heiress who is way out of her element, and Jake, a Montana rancher who’s carrying the weight of his land, his responsibilities, and a few things he doesn’t talk about.
Put them on the same ranch, add culture clash, stubborn pride, and chemistry they can’t quite outrun, and you’ve got the kind of slow-burn tension that keeps you turning pages.
Readers keep describing it as humorous, heartfelt, and easy to get lost in, and I love that, because that’s exactly what I was aiming for. A story with real emotion, but also some moments that make you smile and shake your head like, “Yep… I’ve been there.”
The best way to read it: Kindle Unlimited (seriously)
Here’s the big deal, and I’m not being dramatic (okay… maybe a little).
Boots and Stilettos is part of Kindle Unlimited, which means KU members can read it without paying the $3.99 eBook price. If you’re already a Kindle Unlimited reader, this is a no-brainer. It’s the easiest “add to library” decision you’ll make all week.
And if you’re not in KU yet, but you read a lot on Kindle, KU can be one of the best values out there. It’s basically a buffet for readers, and this book is on the table.

Why readers are connecting with this story
When readers say a book is “easy to get lost in,” that’s one of the best compliments an author can get. It means the story disappears and the movie starts playing in your head.
Here’s what I think is doing the heavy lifting:
1) The setting feels real
Small towns have their own rules. Ranch life has its own rhythm. This story lives in those details.
2) The characters don’t feel like cardboard
Annie isn’t just “the rich girl,” and Jake isn’t just “the cowboy.” They both have reasons for how they act, and they both have growth coming whether they like it or not.
3) The heart shows up, but it doesn’t get syrupy
There’s emotion, but it’s earned. The humor helps too, because life is rarely one mood for very long.
And yes, it helps that readers have been calling it “written very well.” I’ll take that all day long, and I’ll keep working to earn it every time.
