Reading is an expensive hobby. A romance here, an erotica there … If you have bit of a book addiction, like me, the costs soon add up. And that evil thing, the eReader, doesn’t exactly help. I can’t tell you how many times something shiny has caught my eye in an online bookstore – something I had no intention of reading – and I’ve subsequently found myself stabbing merrily away at the ‘download now’ button.
Similarly, keeping the toy box interesting can leave a pretty serious ding in the old bank account. I don’t tend to buy vibrators and dildos at the same rate I buy books (I doubt I’d be able to stand upright if I did!) but, even so, the good stuff is never particularly cheap.
So in the spirit of preventing whacking great reading bills and giving you frugal orgasms, I thought I’d compile a list of current deals and freebies. I’m going to try and do this every Friday, if I can – so if you fancy a little something for the weekend you’ll (hopefully!) be able to find a book or toy that won’t break the budget.
FREE EBOOKS
*Please note that all of the below were free at the time of this post’s publication but pricing can change at any time. To that end, please double-check that the prices are still at zero before you start downloading.
40 FREE KINDLE BOOKS action, fantasy, paranormal, mystery, romance, YA
This is a brilliant Amazon Listmania list that’s updated by its author every few days. As the title suggests, there’s a bit a genre mix going on, but this compilation is perfect if you’re desperate to read and can’t afford to part with a penny. Just be aware that it’s hosted on Amazon.com so the freebie statuses may not always apply on the Amazon.co.uk site.
Currently includes Heather Bowhay’s YA Amethyst, which has a fair few positive reviews.
You can find the list here.
Masters at Arms (Introduction to Military Romance & BDSM Series) (Rescue Me) – Kallypso Masters
Amazon.co.uk edition
Amazon.com edition
I’ve read some of Kallypso’s other books and this one is definitely worth a look if you have a thing for military men.
‘Masters at Arms is an introduction to the Rescue Me series, which needs to be read first. The book begins the journey of three men, each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain. Their paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to come to terms with the aftermath of Iraq–forging an unbreakable bond–they band together to start their own BDSM club. But will they ever truly become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become masters of them? (Book One in the Rescue Me series.)’
Anything She Wants, A Lesbian Erotica Anthology – edited by Harper Bliss
Amazon.co.uk edition
Amazon.com edition
One for the ladies:
‘In the office, on the set of a movie or on the bathroom floor, the ladies in this anthology don’t care where they get it on. Power play, first time encounters and office rivalry get the characters in these twelve stories so riled up, the only way to go is down and dirty. Tales of spanking, a wild all-female college party and a waitress with a strap-on grace the pages of Ladylit’s first multi-author lesbian erotica anthology.
Caution: Reading ‘Anything She Wants’ will make you wet!’
Private Paradise – Jami Alden
For those who’re in the mood for something romantic:
‘After years of catering to the whims of the rich and famous at one of the Caribbean’s most luxurious resorts, there isn’t much that can rattle Carla DeLuca.
Until Sam O’Connell shows up.
Tall, dark, and sexy, Holley Cay’s new security chief is no stranger. He’s the irresistible bad boy who seduced her over a long, hot summer only to leave her heartbroken, humiliated, and determined to never again fall for a player like him. But though her heart still stings with the memory of his rejection, her body can’t forget the all-consuming pleasure of his touch.
Sam never forgave himself for his too cruel rejection of Carla over a decade before. Young, reckless, and convinced it was only a matter of time Carla regretted hooking up with a trouble maker like him, Sam pushed Carla away before she could realize her mistake. But when Sam lands a job working for Carla in paradise, he seizes the chance to finally make things right.
When a hurricane strands them alone on the island, Carla is unable to resist the passion simmering between them. She doesn’t fool herself that what they have will last past the storm. But little does she know, Sam will do whatever it takes to make her his – forever this time.’

Attention pegging fans! That Postion’s Deal of the Week is the Fetish Fantasy Elite 8’’ Hollow Strap-on. It’s made from medical grade silicone and is currently reduced from the RRP of £74.00 to £45.00 (!) and, even better, it’s a hollow strap-on so can be worn by either partner.
Wishing you all a wonderfully saucy weekend.

You had me at “frugal orgasms.” Although, really, I’ll take the expensive over-priced ones as well. And the moderately-priced ones. Well, that’s that, then, isn’t it? Yes. Is there a bulk discount?
Oh! Have I told you lately how beautiful this website is? Design, function, everything. Very well done.
Don’t you mean ‘multiple discount’?
Careful on the compliments – you’ll give me a big head! I can’t take credit for the graphics; they were designed for me by a very cool chap named Joe, who now knows more about erotica than he probably ever wanted to … Poor lad!
Excellent, many thanks for that Jane.
I’ve been caught out a few times when clicking on a freebie link and not checking the actual price on amazon.co.uk
Also have a look at
http://kindlespice.com/
which lists both romance and erotica bargains of the day and freebies, but again sometimes the price is different in UK
My poor Kindle now has enough titles on it to last several years!
You’re very welcome. I’m going to try and do a bargain/freebie round-up every Friday from now on if I can (you can never have too many books for the weekend!). Thanks for the Kindle Spice link, by the way. Excellent!
