Free Audiobooks - Sweet Talk & Chivalry

I've tracked down two free audiobooks you can get from Audible.com and a contest where you can enter to win third. First, the free books:

Chivalry, by Neil Gaiman, a live reading recorded for volume 18 of Selected Shorts: Lots of Laughs! (full audiobook $18.48 Audio CD; $19.60/$7.49 Audible), a collection of short stories. This is an unabridged version, but of only Gaiman's story and only 27 minutes long. Make sure you log into your Audible.com account
first, then click HERE to get the free download.

Publisher's Summary
A delicious tale of an elderly British matron who buys the Holy Grail at a rummage sale.

Selected Shorts is an award-winning series of classic and contemporary short fiction read by acclaimed actors. The readings are recorded live at Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City. The Selected Shorts radio series is a co-production of Symphony Space and WNYC, New York Public Radio, and is heard on public radio stations nationwide.


The second is a full book, Sweet Talk ($5.04 Kindle) by Susan Mallery. This one comes to you courtesy of Lion Brand Yarns, giving you something to listen to while you knit.

Book Description
Don't ask Claire Keyes. The twenty-eight-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family—which is just part of the reason she hasn't seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years.

But now Nicole is sick, and Jesse is AWOL. Despite the fact that Claire can't boil water, she's determined to play caretaker. Connecting with her sisters tops her to-do list…along with falling in love, or at least in lust, for the first time.

Ruggedly sexy Wyatt just might fit the bill. Although he keeps saying that he and Claire come from entirely different worlds, he lights up hotter than a bakery oven whenever Claire is near. If this keeps up, she just might sweet—talk him into her bed…and her life.
