Sorry for not opening separate threads for each book, but time is running short. I ran into a few books from Smashwords, most of which come with very good reviews, all free with coupons:
Dancing to the End of Love by Adrian White (
Kindle US: 9.99). DRAMA. Use code VT48M
Quote:
A love story for the times we live in. A man is arrested and held without trial as part of the War on Terror. A rock goddess pays out a fortune to persuade the father of her child not to contest his parental rights. A young woman with Cystic Fibrosis cuts herself off from her family and yet fears she'll die alone.
Many lives; one true love.

Annalisa's Highway Blues by David Reichart (
Kindle US $2.99). ROMANCE. Use code NK57N
Quote:
A family crisis forces Annalisa Rochon, a beautiful but inexperienced small-town girl, into the male-dominated world of long-haul trucking, where she finds danger, loneliness, hard work and something unexpected out on the road--the kind of romance she had always dreamed of.
Ex-Marine Mike Cindik, son of a wealthy industrialist, has a contentious meeting with Annalisa while she's delivering a load to one of his father's warehouses and, in the aftermath, becomes completely captivated by this exotic, strange-talking, truck-driving Louisiana girl. He pursues her across Midwestern highways with great difficulty and determination (guilt and fear, too, since he's engaged to a very influential and manipulative debutante).
Annalisa is pretty but humble, with traditional family values and a naughty streak. She's vulnerable, naive, easily frustrated and not very confident, but deep down she has the guts of a warrior. It's a story about finding the courage to do what you need to do, no matter how difficult or scary, and trusting the outcome to fate (or faith).
