I liked Snowbound and Dancing in the Moonlight. Really did not like A Very Special Delivery. Reading Homespun Bride now, it's decent.

I speed-read Slow Hands. Really wouldn't recommend it: cliched plot, cardboard characters, amateurish prose. Even the sex wasn't very hot and without hot sex most Blaze novels aren't worth the paper they're printed on (or the bytes on my hard-drive ;-)).

Snowbound looks quite good though (of course, I'm a sucker for a romance set in a school or dealing with education in any way). And I thought the two romantic suspense titles looked intriguing.

I avoid all baby-related plots (loathe them), so I didn't download quite a few of these freebies.

Thanks for the recommends, all!

I downloaded several - had some trouble with the downloads freezing up, but I was persistent!

Do y'all read the pdfs on your computers, or do you have a reader device? Any recommendations on those? I find the glaring black on white hard on the eyes after a while, not to mention the cumbersomeness of curling up with a laptop!

I downloaded a lot of them, even though many of the plots didn't look great. (I hate the baby-related plots too.) I read Slow Hands last night, and also didn't think it was very good. Free, though :->.

Rosamenz, I downloaded them in MS Reader format to read on my Dell Axim PDA. (Dell's not producing them any more so I can't recommend it, though I love it as a book reading device.)

By the way, Fictionwise is also offering the free downloads, but as far as I can tell, only in their ereader format, so I went to Harlequin instead, where they're offering several formats.

Thanks, Kristin. They're free, so I'll take them all!
