Eleven Free Romances from Mills & Boon

Mills & Book, a UK publisher that has been around for over a hundred years and a part of Harlequin for the last 40 or so. Last year, they celebrated their one-year anniversary of selling e-books by setting up a special web site, Everyone's Reading, and gave away ten books and had a monthly contest to win a Sony Reader. Well, the competition is still going on, but they have swapped out last year's set of books and now have eleven (and soon to be twelve, they've announced) new titles up as free downloads. Most are, of course, romance (but go ahead, click on the Romance link to see what it tells you, but of different genres. One may be unfamiliar to those in the US, Bonkbuster, but I suspect you can guess what that means.

Game of the Day - Soccer Cup Solitaire

I'm always a sucker for a good solitaire game, so I'll be downloading a trial of Soccer Cup Solitaire, which Amazon has marked down to $2.99 for today only. I'll have to tear myself away from Scrabble ($4.99), which we've been playing since I downloaded it yesterday (the only big disadvantage I've found is that in a non-timed game, your "book" is tied up while the other players are working on their moves, if you are the type that reads while you play; luckily, I have the Kindle app on my Samsung Epic 4G Android Phone, which Amazon has even cheaper than I got mine direct from Sprint, along with a Scrabble dictionary and word generator).

Game Description
Pass some time and shoot for the win with Soccer Cup Solitaire! Choose one of over 50 international soccer teams and guide them to victory with fast-paced card-matching action.

Get into the game by chaining together passing combos to increase your score. Every point earned brings you closer to scoring the winning goal! Collect Wild Cards and Bonus Cards, and use them to press your advantage on your quest to find the net. Are you ready to square off against the likes of Brazil, England, Spain and the USA? Each team you defeat is one more step on the road to the Cup! It's the world's favorite sport and the world's favorite pastime, together at last!

Free Book (nook) - Enchanting the Lady

Enchanting the Lady ($5.39 Kindle), by Kathryne Kennedy, is free from Barnes & Noble today.

Book Description
In a Victorian London where titles are based on the inheritance of magical powers, a were-lion's obsessive quest for Merlin's relics will threaten his love for a disinherited duchess--as well as their very lives....

In a world where magic ruled everything, Felicity Seymour couldn't perform even the simplest spell. If she didn't pass her testing, she'd lose her duchy--and any hope of marriage. But one man didn't seem to mind her lack of dowry: a darkly delicious baronet who had managed to scare away the rest of London's Society misses.

Sir Terence Blackwell knew the enchanting woman before him wasn't entirely without magic. Not only could she completely disarm him with her gorgeous lavender eyes and frank candor, but his were-lion senses could smell a dark power on her--the same kind of relic-magic that had killed his brother. Was she using it herself, or was it being used against her?

One needed a husband, and the other needed answers. But only together could they find the strongest magic of all: true love.
