Just FYI:

Mine For Tonight - if anyone is interested...the boxed set (4 nevellas) is .99 The Billionaire's Obsession: The Complete Collection Boxed Set

River of Desire - this is no longer free. It's showing .99 on amazon.

In Too Deep - this is actually 2 books and amazon says the entire thing is 191 pages, so really they are novella length. At .13, probably not an issue, but just letting everyone know these are not full length novels.

Thanks for the post, gabby. Definitely getting River of Desire even tho not free anymore and In Too Deep

New Adult Freebie Fate Book by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
blurb: DAKOTA DANE IS ABOUT TO TELL A LIE SHE'LL WISH SHE HADN'T. Because her lie is dangerous, sexy, and just showed up on campus, angry as hell and looking for her...

Ugly duckling Dakota Dane has a new boyfriend. He’s male-model gorgeous, built to perfection, wealthy, and smart. He is also a lie. As in, 100% fabricated. Does it matter that Dakota has a perfectly good reason for making him up? Not really. Not when Dakota’s made-up boyfriend shows up in the flesh.

So is she crazy? All signs point to maybe. But the walking, talking enigma with the deadly vibe isn’t about to give her any answers or let her out of his sight. And with college just around the corner, Dakota fears her dreams of a bright future have just collided with a dark rabbit hole…
~~~
Fate.

Such a simple word, isn’t it? But there’s nothing simple about it. Not for me, anyway. Not when it comes to this man. I have no idea who the hell he is, where he came from, or what he wants, but his dangerous vibe tells me I should run away and never look back.

But I can’t.

Because as much as he scares the hell out of me, his sinfully dark gaze and what it does to me is ten times more powerful.

And I know I want something I shouldn’t. I should want my sanity. I should want college and parties and this dream I’ve waited for my whole life. I should want to keep that promise I made myself back in high school to make something of my life.

But now I’m looking at him, his powerful body, his predatory gaze, his sinfully shaped lips, and I know I’ll never be able to walk away. So I simply keep lying to myself about there being a reason for all this. I simply tell myself it must be fate.

Deep Autumn Heat By Elisabeth Barrett 99 cents

Lexie Meyers decides there’s nothing sweeter than watching Sebastian Grayson’s perfect, wicked mouth devour her coconut cake. He’s hot, he’s hungry, and he’s sizing her up like she’s the best thing on the menu. But she’s been burned in the past and flings just aren’t her thing. Too bad Sebastian can’t resist a challenge.

Worldly, famous, and notorious with the ladies, Seb had planned a weekend of fishing and relaxation with his brothers. Until Lexie, with her kissable lips and frosty “get lost” attitude, makes him want to forget his culinary empire and create some magic with her. After he fires up his charm—including challenging her to a televised cook-off to break through her resistance—it’s now hotter in the bedroom than it is in the kitchen and Lexie isn’t sure whether she’s lost her mind . . . or just her heart.

Me too! I won't even download freebies if a review mentions it leaves you hanging. I know the publishers and authors want us to read more of their books, but there has to be a better way than a cliffhanger. How about just giving us a few pages of the next book to entice us to buy instead - and give all your books real endings! (slowly climbing off the soapbox now) Happy Reading! Joan

I don't think her skin is dirty. It looks more like terminal mottling to me. Hopefully she is not dying.

Second Chances boxed set

This boxed set contains three full length novels featuring women who have a second chance at love, proving love really is sweeter the second time around.

Sugar Daddy Review

"Absolutely one of the best books for me right now. I loved it mostly because it was fluffy, romantic, and meaningful." Reading Renee Reviews

Sugar Daddy synopsis

Hannah Matthews, an over educated under employed mother of twin girls, takes the girls on the annual Labor Day weekend family vacation while her husband stays behind. By the time she has returned, he has cleaned out their bank accounts, their apartment, and moved in with a surgically enhanced stripper. Try as she might, Hannah is forced to resort to desperate measures: finding a Sugar Daddy.

Gavin Meyers, affluent businessman, discovered too late that his bohemian wife wasn't in love with him when he caught her in their bed with a lover...his sister. After a heated meeting with the lawyers trying to arrange the divorce agreement, his lawyer suggests he get a hobby and work out all his anger. He can't think of a single thing he wants to do more than find some woman to punish for his suffering. And it just so happens, he stumbles across a personal ad that will serve his purpose. What kind of woman advertises for a Sugar Daddy?

First a Dream Review

"This is a Modern Day Cinderella Story. Not my typical read, but I truly enjoyed it. At first I wasn't sure I would like this type of story, but once I started reading I found I couldn't put it down. The characters were so easily liked. Gabriel a very rich playboy, and Isabella a Mother of Two found a love that some would say could only be found in a fairy-tale.

“Don’t ever stop dreaming. Just dream bigger now.” Romance Uninhibited

First a Dream synopsis

One showy winter night when her best friend has to cancel their girl's night out, Isabella surprises her husband at work, but she was the one who was shocked to find him in a compromising position with her sister. As a budding photographer, she struggles to find her passion and hold everything together for her young son and daughter, while preparing for a major gallery show. Desperate for inspiration, she seeks out the advice of her professor and mentor who tells her to dream again and be happy. Unsure of what that would entail, but distracted still the same, Isabella literally runs into Gabriel Charmant, a handsome rich playboy only in town for the summer. He imagines Isabella will be fun, a distraction to stave off the boredom as he takes summer classes in this provincial town forty-five minutes from the bright lights and city life he's used to in Montreal.

Gabriel never imagined that without even trying, Isabella would change him and without even knowing, she'd win his heart. Just as they begin to build a future and everything seems to be coming together, his lies and deception threaten their happily ever after.

Worth the Wait synopsis

When Sarah discovered lingerie in her husband's vehicle, she knew her life would be changed forever, but she never could have predicted how much. Soon, what began as a harmless Girl's Night Out with a friend for a tarot card reading turned into a shocking realization that her mother had kept a huge part of her heritage from her, and her dreams of late suggested that her good friend, Brian, wanted to be more than just a good friend.

For as long as he had known Sarah, Brian had felt an undeniable attraction to her. The longer he knew her, the more he wanted from their friendship. He would do anything to heal her heart and help her become who she was meant to be. He would do everything within his power to protect her from harm and save her from the forces that threatened to keep them apart because he knew some loves were so special that they were worth the wait.

His looks the same way, he's just not showing as much. Looks like a low resolution picture was enlarged to the point it became pixelated, and then was used for the cover.

And it is not our fault that there is a dearth of freebies and even deals at the moment.

Ditto.

I just bought "Three Weeks With Lady X (Desperate Duchesses)" by Eloisha James at 50% off at Amazon

It was $5.99, and now is $2.99. It has excellent reviews, so I look forward to reading it.
