Free books (DRM-free MultiFormat) - 6 new Ellora's Cave stories [Erotic Romance]

ATDrake · 04-18-2011, 09:57 PM

Well, the Ellora's Cave people have updated their Free Reads section yet again with new stuff.

There are 2 new short stories (1 non-erotic), and 4 very definitely erotic "short novels". All are DRM-free and available in MultiFormat. Grouped by category:

Historical

A Winter's Tale by Sandra Heath (non-erotic; part of their "kisses only" Blush line).

While staying at Bath during the holidays, dashing Lord William Acland has unfortunately chosen an inn plagued by mysterious thefts. A cunning, seemingly unstoppable thief is relieving guests of their valuables as they sleep—much as William is being relieved of his heart by Perdita Langrishe, the innkeeper’s niece. As the thefts continue, the couple begins to fall in love. Suddenly the thief isn’t the only one at work.

William intends to steal something as well—Perdita’s heart.

Paranormal

Mating Bonds by Nina Pierce. Shapeshifter ménage.

Danger threatens at every turn in Lonesome Forks. Just for one night, Jayda, Zane and Cole want to put the politics of warring shifters aside and enjoy the carnal pleasures of their mated triad.

Tempted into shifting and lured into the Montana forest by pride leader Zane Brodan, polymorphic shifter Jayda Kynslan can’t resist her cougar mate’s seduction. And when wolf leader Cole Takoda joins the fun, what’s a gal to do but give herself over to her animal urges and enjoy the lustful temptations offered by both her mates.

Part of the Shifting Bonds series.

Before Dawn by Anne Bruce. Het psychic encounters; possible vampire.

Mercy Jansen's dreams are filled with erotic interludes with a man whose face she never sees — and she always awakens before the scraping of sharp teeth along her skin turns into something more dangerous.

While uneasy about her subconscious mind, Mercy goes on with her daily life, which includes organizing a costumed fundraiser at the museum where she works. The event attracts more people than she'd expected, including a man who makes her knees go weak — and proceeds to turn her preconceived notions of reality upside-down and inside-out by pulling her into a shadowy, violent world where her erotic dreams threaten to become an all-too-real nightmare.

Fantasy

Wizard's Thief by Christine d'Abo. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Off to see the wizard…

When Callie is sent into the wizarding stronghold to steal the wizard's binding stone, she enters a world she doesn't understand. Stumbling into the arms of Raine, she learns that she is his connection to a powerful magic and is bound to him for life.

Raine, once the most powerful of the Warren's wizards, lost his magic years ago. He must learn to trust Callie, not only with the secrets of the Warren, but with his heart. Each passing moment makes the flare of passion between them burn higher as the control over his magic returns.

When an old enemy threatens a member of the Warren, Raine must overcome his fears and trust Callie not only to save a friend, but to return the love he wants to give.

Reader Advisory: Contains light female/female touching.

Sci-Fi*

Imperfect Judgment by Cricket Starr. Het colonialism.

Diam isn't happy with his nomadic life on Gallia and wishes for a better life. When a new colony ship arrives from Earth he is intrigued by what the Newcomers have to offer. But when his sister becomes ill, Diam learns why his people became nomads in the first place. A tarot reading by the village witch sends him to find a way to force the Newcomers to leave Gallia before anyone else gets sick.

Diam doesn't count on falling in love with Justina, the colony's doctor. The passion they stir in each other reaches beyond the barriers of language and background to bring them together but even with their new love they can't ignore their peoples' fate.

The judgment card in Diam's tarot reading promised success but it is Diam and Justina's judgment and skill that will be needed if all Gallians, new and old, are to have the lives they deserve.

Just Plain Porn™

Private Games by Tawny Taylor. Multiple stories of one-on-one contemporary het sexual encounters. With props.

Who would have thought a simple board game could change your life. Three women learn it can when they toss the dice, face a challenge or two, and win…love, laughter, and hot, hot sex.

Playing for Keeps

Maddy Beaudet needs to shake things up a bit, but playing a board game isn't exactly what she considers exciting.

Jace Michael has just moved across country to recover from an ugly divorce. Anxious to dive into work with both feet, the last thing he needs is a distraction, but the minute he meets Maddy, his employee no less, and learns about the game she's playing with her friends, a whole different game comes to mind.

Master May I?

Britt Olsen is shocked when Andre Cruz-Romero delivers a birthday gift, mistakenly mailed to Britt's former home. Unfortunately, what she finds in the box isn't what Britt expected.

Then again, neither is Andre.

The sexy entrepreneur who sports golf shirts and khaki pants by day wears leather by night. And the room that used to house Britt's workout equipment now holds a different kind of…apparatus…for an entirely different kind of game.

A Game of Risk

Taking risks is what day-trader Olivia Blake's life is all about. Well, at least financially. Personally is another story. It takes the draw of a card for her to approach the man she's pined over, her older sister's brother-in-law. The minute she does, she wonders if she's made the right decision.

EMT Ty Wilcox spends his days rescuing people who toss caution to the wind and get injured—or worse—in the process. Playing it safe is the only way to live. But after seeing Olivia in a skimpy dress that almost covers her vitals, he wonders if risk is the four-letter word he'd always thought it was.

* Complain about this phrase usage and I will start spelling it "SyFy".

Doesn't some TV network have the market cornered on that spelling?

Yeah, but sadly, they don't have a monopoly* on willfully spreading illiteracy via the intertubes.

You can tell which countries have higher educational standards by looking at which ones have franchises that retain the proper spelling.

* Instead, they're working on the brandable trademarking portion of that. I'd hope they flogged the executive whose misspelt idea it was, but they probably promoted him/her/it under the Peter Principle.

Maybe I should just start writing things up as ψϕ instead and see who gets it.
