FREE for Kindle from amazon: The Mane Squeeze by Shelly Laurenston [Offer Expired]
UPDATE: This is no longer free (as of Nov 1st, 2009)
Sheesh, I'm finding a lot of freebies today - and it's not even the first yet! Here's another one: The Mane Squeeze by Shelly Laurenston http://www.amazon.com/The-Mane-Squee...s=digital-text $FREE Product Description In Shelly Laurenston's laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously sexy novel, a shape-shifting Grizzly and a single dangerous feline collide--and discover untamed, unstoppable attraction. . . Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill has learned how to fend for herself. But what is she supposed to do with a nice, suburban Jersey boy in the form of a massive Grizzly shifter? Especially one with a rather unhealthy fetish for honey, moose, and. . .uh. . .well, her. Yet despite his menacing ursine growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie cute and really sweet. He actually watches out for her, protects her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Too bad cats don't believe in forever. At nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming and running away. Gwen--half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass--does neither. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's a born protector. Watching out for the family and friends closest to her but missing the fact that she's being stalked by a murderous enemy who doesn't like hybrids. . .and absolutely hates Gwen. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he will. Why? Because this is Gwen--and no matter what the hissing, roaring, drape destroying feline says about not being ready to settle down, Lock knows he can't simply walk away. Not when she's come to mean absolutely everything to him. Last edited by Xia; 11-01-2009 at 05:16 PM. |

This is definitely NOT free in the UK - it costs $11.44
If an item is only free in the USA, please say so - it will save other people a lot of disappointment. |

It's also possible the price may change in your country in a day or two (or not at all). And it appears that very country can have a different price, more than just the $2 charge plus VAT difference, which is normally seen on the freebies. |

Sorry - I didn't phrase that very well. No, there's no way to tell, but it's better to say "Free in the USA", so that people in other countries won't automatically assume that it's free for them.

Just looking for clarification as I'm in the U.S. and don't have to deal with the same issues as non-U.S. Kindle owners. |

I'm afraid they're telling the 2$ are taxes.

Amazon aren't calling it a wireless download fee. But the fact is that for most books available in US and UK stores, the UK price is the (US Price + $2) + VAT.
Granted, we don't have to pay another fee is we re-download wirelessly, but my guess is that Amazon have looked at the usage in the US, and found that 99% of books are only ever downloaded once. VAT is applicable because in the UK ebooks are subject to 15% VAT, unlike paperbooks which are zero rated. |
