Kristen Ashley’s contemporary romance The Time in Between topped the list of bestselling titles on the Smashwords platform for the month of September.

Up three spots from last month, Mel Robbins’s self-help title The 5 Second Rule was at #2, and Natasha Preston’s romance Broken Silence, a Smashwords bestseller list fixture since 2014, jumped to #3. Taking the #4 slot was Play On, a romance by Samantha Young, and rounding out the top five was The Curse, book two in Margaret McHeyzer’s YA series the Butterfly Effect.

Continuing its descent, Dangerous, by former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, fell five places to #7.

Other notable titles on this month’s typically romance-heavy list include The Calderan Problem, a work of science fiction from Joseph R. Lallo, and Shades of Time, a fantasy novel by Sarah Woodbury.
