My Daily Selection for Freebie Kindle Download



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Romance > Fantasy, Futuristic & Ghost



Back to Romance for today's selection, except this is a Fantasy/Futuristic/Ghost thing going.

So far it has had one review,but it's from regular Reviewer on Amazon (although a word of caution she tends to award 5 stars to most things).

To judge for yourself if this one has merit you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,  As always, please bear in mind that I have no guarantee how long they will stay available for free download, so if you are reading this post retrospectively, you may well have to pay for it - I will review it as soon as possible and report back on it's merits.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status dipped even further to 11,407 ... but the good news I managed to finish and review a book, so it might just go up a tiny bit by tomorrow.

I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

#330 (#48 of 2013) - Second Chance Romance ~ Asrai Devin *NEW AUTHOR




Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Contemporary > Romance


Description:

Mandy Green is happy juggling her life as a single mom and her dream job as a third grade teacher. Her world is knocked on its edge when her high school sweetheart connects with her via Facebook. Mandy decides on one, last date with Kip to finally move on. Kip isn't quite so ready to let go. Will Mandy dare to take a second chance with her first love? Warning: This book contains adult language, nature of a sexual content including anal sex.

Product Details:

This is another freebie Kindle download that I obtain in February this year.  At the time of writing this post is still listed as free for download HERE.  However, if you are reading this retrospectively, then that may well not be the case.

Novella - 166 pages


* * * * *

Summary:

It took a few pages to get into the flow of this one, but surprisingly it proved really quite good .... even eliciting a few tears at the end.


The "hero" for the want of a better word, Kip, annoyed me a bit sometimes with his gently gently approach - I did think a couple of times "man up", but then again maybe that is why the lovely Mandy loved him so, setting aside his killer body and bucket loads of money that he made as a NHL player!

A few typographical and grammar errors, but then again it is rare to get a clean copy of anything these days, and they definitely didn't detract from the overall storyline.

A freebie for me, which I was really quite pleased with, and am looking forward to finding other offerings by this new author to me.

All things considered a 3.5 star read for the blog, but better than being downgraded on Amazon, so I've rounded up to 4.

My Daily Selection for Free Kindle Download at Amazon





Kindle Store > Books > Non-Fiction > Business & Finance > E-commence & Marketing



This caught my eye this morning ... it's always useful to hone up on skills required to get by in the business world! 

So far it hasn't had any reviews, but I think it's only been uploaded recently (I cold be wrong in that assumption though).  You can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,  As always, please bear in mind that I have no guarantee how long they will stay available for free download, so if you are reading this post retrospectively, you may well have to pay for it - I will review it as soon as possible and report back on it's merits.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has disappointingly slipped out of the top 10,000 to 10,515 - it just shows what no reviews due to a sick Father in Law, one "1 out of 2 people" rating and a dog having major surgery at the same time can do to your reading schedule and subsequent rating.

I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

My Daily Selection for Free Kindle Download at Amazon




Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical > Romance


I decided to go for another Historical Romance ... the cover drew me, and then I found out that the heroine was called Lydia .... so I had to have this one.  Random choices keep a bit of interest in the relationship with reading don't you think! 

So far it hasn't had any reviews, but I think it's only been uploaded recently (I cold be wrong in that assumption though).  You can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,  As always, please bear in mind that I have no guarantee how long they will stay available for free download, so if you are reading this post retrospectively, you may well have to pay for it - I will review it as soon as possible and report back on it's merits.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has dropped slightly overnight to 8,888.  However, making significant gains seems to be hard now I've hit the Top Reviewers' List, but thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated.

#329 (#47 of 2013) - Second Sight Dating ~



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > > Contemporary > Romance > Suspense


Description:

This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic). Psychic Serena Xavier owns Second Sight Dating, a matchmaking business. Although successful in matching others, her "second sight" failed miserably in finding herself a trustworthy man.Detective Dan Carrington becomes one of her clients as part of an undercover investigation. His job is to find out if her business is legitimate or a cover for a sex-for-hire scheme, possibly with mob connections.All vibrations from Dan lead Serena to believe he's being honest with her. Upon catching him snooping through her files, she has to consider the possibility that he's a gigolo looking to secure clients through her business. Despite doubts about each other's honesty, a growing attraction leads to a night of passion. Serena wonders who he really is, as Dan ponders her true business motives.

Product Details:

Free Kindle Download last month, with an original listing price of £7.50).  At the time of writing this post it is still available free HERE or by clicking the link about the cover photograph.  Obviously, if you are reading this post retrospectively I cannot guarantee that it is still available at that price.

Novella - 183 pages


* * * * *

Summary:

It was a freebie download, so you won't hear me complaining too much, but it did lack a bit of focus here and there.  The usual listed price for this is £7.50, which in my humble opinion too pricey.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with the whole body of work, but it failed to grab my attention.

Nice enough characters' and nice enough plot, and so all in all a 3 star rating for Amazon, and a 3.5 stars (because I can hand out half stars) on the blog.

I've added it to the One Off Folder on the Kindle, and am happy to admit that sometimes an author can be just wide of the mark.

Ohhhhh, imagine my pleasure when I was browsing looking for today's selection and I came across Book 2 in the Heroes of the Highlands series by Kerrigan Byrne.  

You can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,

If you are interested in reading my review for the awesome Book 1 "Unleashed" in her series click HERE.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has risen well overnight to 8,866.  However, making significant gains seems to be hard now I've hit the Top Reviewers' List, but thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated.

#328 (#46 of 2013) - Her Vampire Husband (Mills & Boon Nocturne) - Michele Hauf *NEW AUTHOR






Kindle Store > Fiction  > Fantasy > Vampire


Description:

He may resist his bite, but she can't resist his charms…

Werewolf princess Blu won’t allow her seductive husband to consummate their marriage with his bite, marking her forever. Blu curses the marriage arranged to bring their rival nations together, especially since Creed calls out to her darkest desires. 

Yet when Blu uncovers her pack’s secret plot to destroy the vampire nation – and Creed – she is forced to confront her growing feelings for him. Will she choose the only life she’s ever known or accept his sensuous bite?


Product Details:

I managed to get this as a freebie download, at the time of writing this post it is still listed as free HERE.  Obviously if you are reading this retrospectively that may well not be the case.

363 pages



* * * * *

Summary:

Overall I quite enjoyed this one .... and it was different to have Vamp on Were to mix things up.

I particularly liked the two main characters, Creed and Blue and found their loving story quite lovely, especially given that there were forced to marry at the very start of the book.

There were times whilst reading that it simply stopped flowing, and would then pick up.

Happy to say that if there were any editorial/typographical errors in it I didn't notice.

I've added this to my Mills & Boon folder on my Kindle, and whilst I don't think I would actively go out and buy anything else by this author, it was good enough that if something came up as a freebie I would download it.

The blog score would be 3.5 stars, but for Amazon it will get 3 as I don't feel the whole justified a shift up to 4 stars.

Read it though if it's still for free download, it wasn't too bad.

Hugs

Kay

Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Fairy Tales




Today I've done a switcheroo to the realms of Fantasy, or I should say Fairy Tale.  It's the début novel by April Rane.  Whilst it has only had 1 review so far, it was quite favourable.

As usual you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has dropped back up a bit to 9,366.  Making significant gains seems to be hard now I've hit the Top Reviewers' List, but thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated.

My Daily Selection for Kindle Freebie Download



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical



I decided to switch it up a bit today and go for a 20th Century Prohibition Historical novel.  At the time of writing this post it doesn't seem as if anyone has reviewed it yet, so I am taking a bit of a leap of faith here with this recommendation.  It's about three genteel sisters who use their family pleasure schooner to save their family from ruin.

As usual you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has risen back up a bit to 9,356.  Making significant gains seems to be hard now I've hit the Top Reviewers' List, but thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated.

#327 (#45 of 2013) - Emergency: Wife Lost and Found ~ Carol Marinelli *NEW AUTHOR




Kindle Store  > Books > Fiction > Contemporary > Romance


Description:

Marriage reunited – in A&E! 

Every emergency doctor dreaded recognising someone in Casualty – even cool-headed consultant James Morrell. But he was doubly shocked when the unconscious patient he was asked to treat was instantly familiar. It was his ex-wife! 

Dr Lorna McClelland hated being ill, hated being stuck in a hospital bed, but above all she hated having to rely on James. Then, as she recovered, all the wonderful things about their marriage came flooding back…....

Product Details:

Another one I snagged as a Freebie Kindle Download HERE.

At the time of writing this post is still appears to be free.  Obviously, if you are reading this post retrospectively that still might not be the case.

Novella - 192 pages.

* * * * *

Summary:

Don't just focus on the first three words of the following paragraph, but keep reading:

Dull, dull, dull .... I first thought when I started reading this ..... it felt monosyllabic and mono-tonal, no depth and very little interest.

HOWEVER, and it is a big one .... I didn't notice the improvement as it went along - it crept up on me until I was crying at the end (my personal sign for quiet a lovely read).  Therefore, it must have improved greatly without me realising it.  Isn't that the sign of good writing?

It wasn't perfect, there were typographical errors, and some grammatical ones too here and there, but that many to actually detract from the whole (I did surprise me a little as it is a Mills & Boon after all (and for some reason I always seem to associate them with correct presentation, rightly or wrongly!).

Not fabulous enough to be a 4 star read, so on Amazon I will give it three stars, and hope that everyone will note that I have also added a little half star to that.

My Selection of Freebie Kindle Download at Amazon

While Angels Slept ~ Kathryn Le Veque *NEW AUTHOR



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical > Romance



A complete turn in direction for today with a 12th Century Historical Romance.
As usual you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE.

I have to admit that it wasn't my first choice, I had picked out something else, but blow me down it had stopped being listed as a freebie overnight!  I know that I bang on about this, but it just shows that there seems very little rhyme or reason behind how long they stay listed as freebies, so get 'em whilst they're hot!

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has dropped a little to 9,939.  As always thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated..

I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

Description:

Paris in the spring is a city for lovers, but for Conor O'Neil and Miranda Beckman, the city is a place where the truth is always just out of reach. Miranda's life is in danger, and Conor will do whatever it takes to save her, even if it means not letting her know he's working for the government. For her part, Miranda will do whatever it takes to keep Conor from learning the truth about her past. And yet, the one thing neither can lie about is the passion that blazes between them.

Product Details:

I managed to pick this up as a Kindle freebie download in February, and at the time of writing this post it's still listed as free HERE.  Obviously, if you are reading this post retrospectively I cannot guarantee that that is still the case.

Length - 442 pages.


* * * * *

Summary:

Actually, this was really rather good.  Definitely not something that I would normally go for before I challenged myself to reading as many freebie as possible this year.

Very well written, and if not quite a page turner, then not that far off it.  Lots of little unexpected twists in the tale.

Not quite a 5 star, so I will give it 4.5 stars on here and a 4 on Amazon.

Happy to read any offerings by this author again, I like her style.

Hugs

Kay

As usual you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE.

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has improved quite a bit to 9,916 - and yay me .... I am now on the Top Reviewers' listing, which makes me very happy.  As always thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated..

#325 (#43 of 2013) - Wild Justice (Beaumont Brides) ~ Liz Fielding *NEW AUTHOR



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Romance > Contemporary

Description:

Betrayed by a lover, her career in ruins, Fizz Beaumont devotes all her energy to restoring Broomhill Bay pier, using the old theatre as the home for the radio station that is her life.

The arrival of tycoon Luke Devlin, who has taken over her major sponsor, threatens not just her radio station but -- as he offers her a lesson in passion which promises to set the skies ablaze -- everything she holds dear.


Product Details:

I snagged it as a freebie Kindle download last month, and at the time of writing this post it is still listed as free HERE.  Obviously if you are reading this retrospectively I can't guarantee that it still is.

481 pages.

* * * * *

Summary:

As hero's go I really disliked Luke for about 2 thirds of the book.  He came across as a psychopathic jerk, whilst poor Fiz as very much the victim.

His aim revenge served very cold, deadly almost and her aim to remain invisible and just get on with the everyday business of running her radio station and protecting her battered heart.

Very well written, especially as the hero did a complete 180 turn and became the love of her life at the end.

If it had not been for the fact that I've been challenging myself to read as many Kindle freebies as possible this year .... thus extending my reading range .... I would probably never have chosen this one.  Liz Fielding is definitely one to read again, and I will probably get the remainder of the Beaumont Brides series.

Hugs

Kay

When opposites attract...

The last thing Jenna Landry wants is to fall in love. The former rock musician is getting ready to start a new job and a new life in L.A., and she's only back in her hometown for the summer. Nothing could tempt her to stay any longer than that...not even the sexy doctor next door.

Michael Stone has a reputation for being as cold as ice. So what is it about his free-spirited neighbor that sets him on fire? The strait-laced M.D. has his hands full with his career and his teenage daughter, and even if he were looking for a relationship, he knows Jenna is all wrong for him.

So why does being with her feel so right?

Summary:

Yes opposites do attract, almost in this case polar opposites with a magnetic attraction.

It was so delightfully written, with great characters and a satisfying out come.

Highly recommend read, and I would say a 4.5 star if I could do halves.  I snagged it as a freebie, however, I will be reading more by this author .... even if I have to pay for it.

Her father has another family which includes a mistress and a daughter. Determined to uncover the truth behind her father's secret life, Christine heads to Magdalena, prepared to hate the people who have caused her to question everything she thought she knew about her father. But what she finds is a woman who understands her, a half sister who cherishes her, and a man who could love her if she'll let him. The longer she's around them, the more she questions which family is the real one?

Novella - 267 pages

Look for A Family Affair: Spring - coming late 2013.

Included in the Kindle edition of A Family Affair are 2 Chapters of PULLING HOME - She'll risk anything to save her child...even the truth.

* * * * *

Summary:

An absolute delight to read.  Sympathetic character development and a plot that just proves that there is triumph over adversity and love in the most unlooked for places.

It also goes to show that you can never quite know somebody completely not even your own family.

A 4 star rating for this well written novel.  I would have been more than happy to have paid to read it too. 

Hugs

Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical



An unusual choice for me today this one ..... I was attracted to the title last night, as I've been missing the BBC Series "Midwives" .... this had had quite a few very good reviews, and is based in 14th century rather than my usual Regency period of choice.  It's Historical Fiction, but I'm not sure if there is any element of romance.

Don't forget I'm all about extending reading horizons this year!
