Free and bargain romance ebooks + Discussion December 2013
As requested, here is an outline of the purpose of this thread:
We point out free and bargain romances to each other, and recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!). Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast! In addition to the freebies, sales, and coupons we do a weekly purchased/read roundup (voluntary only, but it’s fun to use Calibre’s virtual library feature to take a screengrab in cover view ![]() Check out the last page of November's thread in case you missed any deals. |

Not sure if Harlequin will be having their up-until-now annual 50% off ebooks sale or not this year. It's possible December 25th "Christmas Surprise Sale" will be. The past few years it has been during one of the first days of the various sales. But now that they've gone from twelve days to twenty-five who knows
![]() Details can be found at: Harlequin's Christmas Countdown I've already bought one of the Carina holiday anthologies for this year (as well as most all of the previous years' ones with the magic Kobo coupon), so I am hoping the sale tomorrow will include the two new anthologies/6 contemporary novellas which release on the 5th. As a side note, what is up with them releasing their Christmas anthologies/novellas on Thursdays this year rather than the usual Monday or even Tuesday (as they did with the latest Shannon Stacey since it released in print at the same time)? |

I often find myself asking what is up with Harlequin... lol. I love a few of their lines, but they don't seem to have found their way as an etailer... hard to compete against Kobo's coupons when HQN discounts off original list price!
ETA: If anyone goes to buy the December Blaze 2013 it does not actually include fourth book shown on the cover (Tawny Weber's). ![]() Last edited by NixLapi; 12-01-2013 at 08:19 AM. |

Got Amazon Prime?
The Kindle First December Romance freebie is Sweet Nothings by Kim Law Publication Date: January 1, 2014 Joanie Bigbee, cupcake baker extraordinaire, likes to keep her options open—and she’s good at it. She's started and sold some 30 businesses in her postage stamp-sized Tennessee town, and at the moment she can be found in a short skirt and go-go boots, selling cupcakes out of the back of a converted Volkswagen van. What she moves on to next is anybody’s guess. She knows better than to be tied down. In any way. She's watched every woman in her family fall head-over-heels, only to find themselves wondering how to pick up the pieces when love is lost. When Nick Dalton shows up at the groovy cupcakery, all Joanie wants is a taste; a fling with no strings suits her just fine. But for Nick, a bite is not enough; he wants the whole cake: a big house, a family, true love. But love only makes you stupid, right? Joanie has to decide whether to follow where her free-spirit leads…or hold on to the sweetest thing she’s ever known. other titles here |

Just FYI, the Stranded with a Hero anthology shows 4 authors on the cover/blurb, but the book only contained 3 stories. This is the second time that's happened for me with an Entangled anthology. The other one I returned as there were other formatting issues. I got this one for the Kwan story so I will keep it since that's one of the three.
Another bad week for me reading-wise. I am almost through the S authors in my big project. I need to do some reading this month though because I have a number of books to go in the AAR Reading Challenges which need to be complete before the year is over. Read:

My reading for the past week was a bust as well; I only read Pamela Clare's Hard Evidence (2nd book in the I-Team series), which I gave 5 stars. I'm enjoying this series a lot; it's how I like my romantic suspense (there is actually romance and suspense, and they're both great
![]() I only bought one book - Sweet Liar ($1.99) by Jude Devereaux, which is an old favorite. I'll leave it for one these inevitable reading slumps ![]() I went through my FictFact and identified series I have yet to complete. From these, I made a smaller list of the ones I want to complete in 2014. I'm famous for putting together reading lists and not making much progress with them, so we'll see how that goes. |

Don't know whether I'd classify my week as good or bad. Got a few off my wishlist, but I'm hoping for GREAT deals tomorrow. Spoiled much? LOL
Books I read: Tragic – J.A. Huss = 4.5 Manic – J.A. Huss = 4.5 Panic – J.A. Huss = 4.5 Ruining Me - Nicole Reed = 1, DNF Hot Ink – Ranae Rose = 2 Sempre – J.M. Darhower = 2 [not bad, just not for me] Driven – K. Bromberg = 4+ [BTW this book is supposed to be on sale tomorrow for $.99, I'd say it's worth it! But it's a cliffhanger!] Last edited by Blue2u; 12-01-2013 at 01:11 PM. |
