One woman they know will share their lives and their beds. They’re losing hope they’ll find her, until Adam discovers Holly lying in the snow just yards from their cabin.

All Romance Earth Day Free Book - 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover

50 Ways to Hex Your Lover ($5.99 list; $4.79 Kindle ), by Linda Wisdom, the first in the Jazz Tremaine series (which now has five books, not the three originally planned).

This is the final free book of All Romance eBooks' Earth Day celebration and is only available as an Adobe PDF. There is no DRM, but the automatic conversion in Calibre is pretty rough (I ran mine thru Mobipocket Creator, which let me make a few manual edits and remove all the tiny pictures that made up the cover, as they didn't translate well to mobi format).

Book Description
Jazz can’t decide whether to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him

Jasmine Tremaine, a witch who can’t stay out of trouble Nikolai Gregorivich, a drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop on the trail of a serial killer.

The sizzling love affair between Jazz and Nick has been off-again, on-again—for about 300 years. Mostly off, lately. But now Nick needs Jazz’s help, and while Jazz and Nick try to figure out their own hearts and resist their ever-increasing attraction, they must steer clear of a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers. They are surrounded by a hilarious cast of oddball paranormal characters, including Norma, the chain-smoking ghost who haunts Jazz’s sports car, Dweezil, her ghoul of a boss, and Fluff and Puff, a pair of bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers (watch your ankles)!

Free Travel Guides from Lonely Planet

Download the Lonely Planet Travel Guides iPhone/iPad app from Lonely Planet and get the San Francisco City Guide (valued at $15.99) and the Mexican Spanish Phrasebook (valued at $9.99) for free. In addition, as a Volcano Relief effort to assist those stuck in Europe with grounded flights, they are giving away city guides to 13 European destinations (offer valid thru Thursday, April 22), which normally sell for $15.99 each.

In response to the widespread chaos caused by the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano, Lonely Planet is offering 13 of its European iPhone guides free.

‘Travellers stuck in unfamiliar places need access to practical information as well as suggestions on what to do whilst stranded’, said Tom Hall, Lonely Planet Travel Editor. ‘That’s why we’re giving away iPhone city guides to major affected destinations.’

The cities included are:

If you doing a bit of traveling, you might want to check out their website. If nothing else, you might want to sign up for their contest to win a free trip around the world.

All Romance Earth Day Free Book - Play with Me

Today's featured book at All Romance eBooks is from an author you probably already have in your library, as Slow Hands has been free direct from Harlequin, in the Amazon Kindle store and many other bookstores for over a year). Today's free title is Play with Me, by Leslie Kelly. Stay tuned, though, as tomorrow's book (the final one in this promotion) looks very interesting.

Book Description
Pilot Amanda Bauer has always craved a life of adventure...sexual adventure, that is. Lucky for her, she's currently getting her thrills by indulging in naughty games with hunky Reese Campbell! After their first explosive encounter, they arrange to get together every couple of months for days filled with fantasy and wild, no-strings sex.

And the best part of it? Nobody else knows about it. Nobody!

It's the perfect private indulgence...until they find themselves on YouTube!

If you want more than one format, you'll need to purchase the book more than once, but you get the discount each time.

There will be one of these a day, until April 21 (which is nearly here!). I'll try to post the link each day, as I find out which one it is. If you find it first, feel free to leave note here in comments and I'll get a post up for everyone else.
