Free Book - Club Shadowlands

Club Shadowlands ($4.79 Kindle), by Cherise Sinclair, the first in her Masters of the Shadowlands series, is today's free book from AllRomance.

Warning: Explicit Content in this book

Book Description
Her car disabled during a tropical storm, Jessica Randall discovers the isolated house where she's sheltering is a private bondage club. At first shocked, she soon becomes aroused watching the interactions between the Doms and their subs. But she's a professional woman--an accountant--and surely isn't a submissive... is she?

Master Z hasn't been so attracted to a woman in years. But the little sub who has wandered into his club intrigues him. She's intelligent. Reserved. Conservative. After he discovers her interest in BDSM, he can't resist tying her up and unleashing the passion she hides within.

Click HERE for the free book. You will have to choose a format after purchase (when downloading) and that format choice is locked in; if you need/want multiple formats, you'll need to purchase the book more than one time (free each time). The book is DRM-free, however, so you can also convert the format you download using Calibre or another free tool.

Available formats: Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket, Epub

New Kindle Game - MONOPOLY

MONOPOLY ($4.99 $2.49), is a brand new Kindle game from Electronic Arts. Since it has been released on the first day of the 1/2 Price Sale for EA games, you can also get it for $2.49 thru the end of the year. Finally, I can be the little doggy or the race car (pieces long since lost by a little brother on the game we played growing up). You can even modify the rules, somewhat (although nothing like some of the large scale cheating my uncle used to do, although trading and auctions seem to be allowed).

The game starts with a tutorial and you do have to wait a bit after clicking the 5-way controller for the screen to update (or it might just flash by and go to the next message), but the game seems quite playable IF you have good eyesight or play on the DX.

Book Description
Enjoy the original MONOPOLY board game on your Kindle.

You can play against your Kindle or with a combination of up to 3 friends with Pass 'N Play multiplayer. Choose between 3 different difficulty levels for your opponents - Easy, Medium, and Hard. You can even customize your house rules to change how Free Parking, Taxes, Get Out of Jail and other rules work within your game.

Featuring all the classic properties like Park Place and Boardwalk, you can buy, sell, and build houses and hotels all around the MONOPOLY board.

Half Price Kindle Games

Update: The prices are now live and a NEW game was added to the list: Monopoly!

Amazon announced that they are marking down all EA Kindle games to half price, today thru 01/02/11. Too bad for me, since I already have them all, but a nice Christmas gift for those of you that don't yet. I really like Solitaire and Sudoku and we've played a few games of Scrabble - I don't like giving up my "book" if we play on my Kindle, so we'll probably keep the board game and I'll reserve this one for solitary play. The only one I haven't played much is Texas Hold'em, but I picked it up for someone else in the household.

EA Sudoku (regularly $3.99)
EA Solitaire (regularly $3.99)
EA Texas Hold'em (regularly $3.99)
SCRABBLE (regularly $4.99)
MONOPOLY (regularly $4.99)

Free Book - Love Me

Love Me ($4.99 Kindle), by Bella Andre, the sequel to Take Me ($11.99), is today's free book from AllRomance. It looks like this author has a number of titles that are self-published in addition to the traditionally published ones; those from Simon and Schuster are priced over $10, while the others are a little more reasonable.

Book Description
It's been five years since Lily Ellis and Travis Carson got married and fell in love in TAKE ME....now it's finally time for Janica Ellis and Luke Carson to get their very own happy ending.

If there's one thing that Janica Ellis is absolutely certain of, it's that she and Luke Carson are totally wrong for each other. She's a wild, artistic and outspoken fashion designer. He's a type A, workaholic trauma surgeon (who just happens to be sizzling hot and her brother-in-law!). But Janica is about to be proven wrong when opposites attract...in the sexiest possible way.

After a life-changing night in the ER, Luke is desperate for escape - and relief from his personal demons. For five years he has fought his attraction to his sister-in-law, but when he's pushed too far, he can't fight it another second. He needs her. Desperately. He's spent his whole life doing the right thing. For one night, he's going to follow desire instead. Straight into Janica's arms.

Janica can't believe Luke is finally at her front door...and that he's kissing her like he's been waiting his whole life to touch her. But even as their sensual connection deepens with every touch of skin on skin - and the man she always thought was such a good boy turns out to be sinfully, toe-curlingly bad between the sheets - Janica soon realizes she wants more than Luke's body. She wants his heart too. But what will Luke do when one night of extreme passion turns into an all or nothing proposition?

You will have to choose a format after purchase (when downloading) and that format choice is locked in; if you need/want multiple formats, you'll need to purchase the book more than one time (free each time). The book is DRM-free, however, so you can also convert the format you download using Calibre or another free tool.

Kindle Wi-Fi Now Sold Out!


Oprah may not have caused and instant sellout of the Kindle this year, but the millions that Amazon says it has sold has hit a temporary stopping point, as the Kindle Wi-Fi is now showing a 3-5 delay in ordering and is marked for delivery after Christmas! Maybe Amazon should have waited another week before increasing the number of Kindles per customer to five from three.

You can still get a Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi or a Kindle DX to put under the tree ... at least, here in the US. All models are sold out for international customers. In the UK, only the Kindle Wi-Fi is still in stock for Christmas delivery. At least in the US and UK, ordering one of the out of stock models should still get a unit by around the end of the year; international customers are still looking at a month or more for delivery.

Here are the links all the various models and their current delivery status.
