I agree, the selection improved significantly. I’ve bought many of the daily deals over the past few months, including the evil vermin book from yesterday.

In fact I’ve signed up for a couple of the half price membership offers mostly so I could access the daily deals, which I assume was the point of offering better choices.

Downpour -- Rental of the Week -- exp 27 Mar

• $1.99 -- All In -- Shelley Shepard Gray/ Tavia Gilbert --> 8.0 hrs --> romance

The Bridgeport Social Club Series (book 2)

Meredith Hunt is content with her solo life. She owns and runs a successful Pilates studio, volunteers at the high school every week, and recently bought a house. She can take care of herself, which is good because she has a hard time relying on other people. When she’s mugged and a handsome man comes to her rescue, she doesn’t know how to accept his help—or how to stop staring into his chocolate-brown eyes.

Ace Vance moved to Bridgeport to offer his fifteen-year-old son, Finn, a better life. Here, Finn has a chance to play football for a good team and maybe even earn a college scholarship. And Ace scored a job at a top-notch garage, where he gets to fix up classic cars. Plus, they could both use some distance from Finn’s toxic mom. The last thing on his mind is falling in love, but he can’t help offering assistance to a gorgeous redhead in need.

Thrown together by a careless criminal, Meredith and Ace can’t deny their attraction. But can they open their hearts—and their lives—to make room for love?

Shelley Shepard Gray’s Bridgeport Social Club series explores how communities can come together to support each other, whether it’s around a poker table, in a Pilates studio, or anywhere in between. Get ready to fall in love with a group of men and women who, even when they feel lost, refuse to lose hope.

Rental FAQ

• Spoiler:

  When does my rental period begin?
  
  Your rental timer will begin counting down when you first initiate the download on your device or 10 days after purchase, whichever comes first.

  How long can I listen to a title?
  
  All digital rentals provide a minimum of 30 days to listen to a book from the time you initiate your first download. With some of our longer books, such as Atlas Shrugged (63hrs), we extend the listening period to 60 days. You do have the option of purchasing a 5, 10, or 20 day extension after you have made your rental purchase.

  How many times can I listen to my rental?
  
  You may listen to a rental as many times as you would like until it expires.

  Can I extend my rental time period?
  
  Once you are logged into your Downpour.com account, you can purchase a time extension for any of your previous rentals via THIS link. After clicking “Extend Rental,” you have the option of purchasing a 5-day ($1.95), 10-day ($2.95) or 20-day ($4.95) extension. If your rental has not yet expired, the purchased time will be added onto your rental. (Example: if your rental has one day remaining, and you purchase a five-day extension, you will now have six days total before your rental expires.) If your rental has already expired, the extension will allow you to listen to your book again for the amount of time purchased.

  Can I have the same rental on more than one device?
  
  You may listen to your audiobook rental on as many personal devices as you own. Your rental time will be synced across all devices on which you have installed the Downpour app.

Available for pre-order on Audible. Trigger warning: this post may cause extreme political reactions; please keep off-topic comments in the appropriate location.

• FREE --
  The Mueller Report: The Findings of the Special Counsel Investigation -- Robert S. Mueller III, unk / unk --> Politics

Audible will record and release the findings of the Special Counsel - what is referred to in the media as The Mueller Report - if and when these findings are made available to the general public by the Attorney General of the United States or an official entity.

Audible has a history of recording and distributing public documents. This includes The 9/11 Commission Report, The Starr Report, and Pope Francis' encyclical letter on climate change and inequality, Encyclical Letter Laudato Si' of the Holy Father Francis: On Care for Our Common Home.

The Mueller Report findings will be the result of an action taken by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in his role as Acting Attorney General for matters related to the 2016 presidential campaign (after the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions). AG Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller, former Director of the FBI, to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The Special Counsel was tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, including exploring any links or coordination between President Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government.

Please note: Audible’s version of The Mueller Report will be free and released shortly after the document is made available by an official or sanctioned entity. For those pre-ordering, please know the release date and length of the product will shift until the report is publicly released.

Enjoy!
