Today we have a nice selection of FREE books courtesy of LPC Book’s weekly email.

Four books this time; Her Deadly Reunion, A Rifle By The Door, A Musket in My Hands, and the last one mentioned yesterday courtesy of the author and again today by LPC books – Kill Order. I’ve read the first two and can give them my stamp of approval. I’m looking forward to checking out the last two.

There is also a FREE book today courtesy of a BookBub suggestion, Blue Christmas. Amazon reminds me it would have been enjoyed in 2012 but I’m looking forward to enjoying it again. I could use a few more Christmas stories right about now. It’s never too early.

Two Free books October 30, 2019

Two FREE books and one recommendation. Well, three free books actually, counting the two today and one from yesterday.

The first one is via BookRunes and the second via an author I follow – Adam Blumer. (It sounds like he lives in an area with a climate similar to ours, it looks like they had a light dusting of snow too.) The first two books are written by men, something I notice happening more and more in the kind of stories I’m drawn to. Very cool. Kindled Love and Kill Order

The third book is a recommendation, the thriller from yesterday. I wasn’t sure about it at download but it turns out I’m half-way through and hooked. The way it’s written, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of angst to trigger negative emotional responses in me. I think maybe that’s why I can enjoy it even though the story has them hiding from a killer. It’s still free if you are interested in checking it out. Deadly Alliances

Kindled Love

Kill Order

Recommendation from yesterday

Deadly Alliances

Happy Reading… I hope you are loving it as much as I am today.

Two Free books, one from yesterday and a new one today.

One of yesterday’s books was All of You and I was uncertain about it because the author was unfamiliar. Well, I’m reading it and loving it. It’s still FREE so I had to mention it again.

All of You

Jack (Jacqueline) restores vintage planes and, she is in danger at the hands of an abusive ex-fiancé. There is a parallel story in this tale – the life of WWII women delivering aircraft to wherever they are needed to help win the war.

A client is contracting Jack to restore a fighter plane used in the Second World War. The present and past are connected somehow. I haven’t read far enough to have that figured out yet.

In the meantime, her deployed brother is desperate to make sure his sister is protected from her abuser. He’s begged/guilted his wounded and sidelined partner Michael into providing her protection. A challenge. The difficulty with this plan: aside from the impairment of his injuries, she’s resisting his help.

This story has pulled me in, no question. Had to share.

The second FREE book looks interesting, after checking it out a little.

Deadly Alliances

I’m not sure about this one either but the first few pages drew me in.

Her brother is in witness protection for living through the murder of his young colleague. The shooter locked eyes with him and would have killed Prosecutor Reilly Tanner too if sirens hadn’t arrived in time to scare him off .

Even in protection, Reilly’s life is in danger of assassins and his sister is determined to find ways protect him.

Meet Milana Tanner, Deputy US Marshall.

It will be interesting to see if this keeps me reading all the way through. I hope it does.

Happy Reading, everyone!

P.S. it’s snowing 🙂

If you are into thrillers, Nick Thacker has one on free this morning, The Jefferson Legacy (brought to my attention by BookBub.)

I started following Nick Thacker in 2016, although I must admit I haven’t kept it up. He enjoys connecting with his followers and puts a lot of effort into it. I was engaged at first but couldn’t keep up with his pace and all the new books he puts out. I would encourage you to follow him if you are looking for authors who like a lot of interaction.

I enjoy thrillers, now and again. That’s the part that causes trouble, the now and again. My capacity to read thrillers is smaller than my tendency to download them. My TBR pile is daunting and I’ve given up hope, trying to keep up. I justify the downloads with the I’m supporting the authors argument. And who knows, maybe I will read them someday.

I’ve downloaded five of Nick’s books and read two. The thing I like most about his writing – his imagination. Many times, reading The Amazon Code, I was left thinking – how do you come up with this stuff? There is one scene indelibly impressed on my mind. Harvey Bennett (protagonist) is running for his life and finds himself trapped in a jungle canyon with absolutely no where to go. I think… he’s dead. Not. Nick’s mind figured a bizarre way out and, amazingly, it works.

There is nothing predictable in the two books I did read.

It’s easy to pass up on chocolate… but it’s a struggle, for me, to pass up on books. All I needed was one or two to go with BookBub’s single enticing suggestion this morning. It was tough to leave without peeking through the rest of the free pages and the temptation to return to the site has been pestering me off and on all day. It’s a good thing I didn’t have time to go back, my TBR list is growing longer by the day.

So, there are eight books this time and I’ve read half of them. They were fun reads, for the most part, Murder in Mind looks like it could be a little scary. I hope the rest are OK, with no surprises. It always feels like I’m taking a big chance, not reading them first. Fingers crossed.

Courageous Love Murder on Half Moon Bay

Today’s FREE books compliments of LPCbooks (Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas) weekly email. This is the second time around, that I’ve seen, for these books to be offered and I’ve downloaded all of them – in the spring of 2019. Three, I’ve read… the least traumatic ones. The mystery thrillers are still sitting in my TBR pile.

Considering the source for these books, I would expect all of them are worth taking a chance. I know I really liked the ones I did read.

Well, this morning’s daily emails from BookBub and BookRunes did not have anything exciting to offer so I decided to do something I haven’t done in a while. I went trolling on Amazon looking to see what they have for free books. With better than expected results, too. Fishing was so good I wanted to keep going until the good picks were exhausted. Rational thinking won out and I quit at eleven books. I will be back though… hopefully soon.

So, I’m happy to have something to share with you. A few of these authors I’ve not read so I can’t vouch for them. Sometimes, at first glance things look good but then turn out to be something I don’t like. You know how that goes I’m sure. With this many choices I think we can still be happy, even with a few disappointments. On the other hand they could all turn out to be good. I like to take a chance and look on the bright side, most times it pays off.

The most represented genres in this list are Historical and Mystery Thriller. I seem to gravitate to selections on the darker side but end up reading on the lighter side. Funny how that goes. There is a little of both here so I’m excited to get started.

A Bridge Unbroken

Do any of these appeal to you?

This first one is from Chautona Havig – Author. Chautona is prolific… at everything; books, blog posts, emails, and free book offers. You will see her name pop up here regularly. This book was mentioned in her regular email today. Be sure to subscribe if you would like to see what else she does. She is on FaceBook as well.

Prairie (Journey

For this one you need to search Prairie (Journey of Dreams: Book 1) Chautona Havig for it to come up on Amazon. Prairie isn’t enough.

It seems I downloaded this book in 2014. I don’t remember much about it but the synopsis describes a city girl dreaming of a life of prairie living, and it happened. I’m must read this again. I’ve enjoyed all of Chautona’s books. She has a unique style and imagination. Looking forward to a re-read.

The next one was offered on BookRunes

Warrior Warrior (Spiritual Warfare Series book 1) Linda K. Rodante

This is a book and author new to me, billed as Romantic Suspense. I am partial to books similar to this one (spiritual warfare) and I’m looking forward to checking it out.

BookBub offers one you may find interesting. It isn’t free but is on sale for $1.31 which is also a good deal.

Hold Me Close is book 1 in a new Historical Fiction series set in 1772 Charles Town South Carolina. I’m not familiar with this author so can’t offer an opinion or recommendation at this point.

That’s it for today.

Until next time, Happy Reading!
