Natasha Preston’s romance Broken Silence reclaimed the top spot on the list of bestselling titles on the Smashwords platform for the month of October. The book has been a Smashwords bestseller since 2014. Preston’s Players, Bumps and Cocktail Sausages also jumped back onto the list, taking the #10 spot.

Holding steady at #2 was Mel Robbins’s self-help title The 5 Second Rule, and the romance Wolves of Wrath by Quinn Loftis grabbed the #3 spot. A pair of romances round out the top five: Inevitable by Chloe Walsh at #4 and Miss Fix-It by Emma Hart at #5.

Romance titles, as always, dominated the list, but books from other categories also made appearances. One of these is new to the list, at #6: a Portuguese-language title by trauma counselor and therapist Michele Engelke, Prisioneiras do Espelho (Prisoners of the Mirror), which aims to help readers deal with maternal narcissism.
