Free (and very inexpensive) books for the Kindle - Page 8

They're legit in the sense they are public domain and you can find them lots of places, including on this site for free. But I don't think they're the sorts of books to put on your Kindle list.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know they were public domain (I was worried that they were pirated books uploaded)

The Bounty: The Malloy Family Book 1 by Beth Williamson

What happens when a bounty hunter finds his prey only to discover she's his mate?

Book 1 of the Malloy family series.

Nicky Malloy is on the run - from guilt, fear, and a murder charge. After three years, the notorious bounty hunter Tyler Calhoun catches up with the elusive lady outlaw. The intensity of their dislike for each other is only matched by the growing passion they cannot seem to control.

A loner by nature, a cold hard hunter by choice, Tyler fights his feelings for his prisoner the only way he knows how-by denying them. He's not prepared for how deeply his feelings will run, or how hard it will be to hold her life in his hands.

Pursued by two hapless cowboys bent on taking Nicky in themselves, Nicky and Tyler are forced to turn to each other for aid, trust, and comfort as their journey progresses on its rocky road. Caught in a web of lies and murder, they hold on to each other as they travel to Wyoming to confront the man that brought them together. Tyler has to decide if his love for her is worth more than the bounty he was sent to find.

This book has been previously published, but substantially revised and reedited.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, some violence.

yes, it is...at least, I've read one other "book" from that author and it was and my understanding is that is mostly what she writes.

krisk · 04-20-2009, 01:49 PM

thanks, I'll take a pass on this one.

The first reviewer on Amazon claims that it isn't "erotic" enough, as the cover led her to believe. So maybe I"ll give it a try. Free is hard to ignore!

indubitably you do. but, as has been pointed out to you several times Jon, this list is for people who tend to not venture far from the Kindle forum, using only Amazon as a source for books.

Those are public domain according to people earlier in the thread. I won't add those to the thread.

Stalker (Kindle Edition)
by Dave Dykema (Author)

80 cents

Dan Freeman loves horror movies. After seeing the movie "Stalker," he gets very enthusiastic about it, emulating the title character and following innocent people around for fun and thrills. He wants to see how close he can get without getting caught. Close enough to eavesdrop on their cell phone conversations? Close enough to smell perfume? Close enough to touch?

Dan suspects his girlfriend of cheating on him. One night, while following her using his special skills, Dan finds out an awful truth.

Now the stalker becomes the stalked.

It was free, but the promo has ended. They've credited folks back for mistakes before, check your receipt.
