eHarlequin has an offer in place for the compulsory romance readers to subscribe to one (or more) of their series currently available in eBook format. There are some advantages to subscribing; for example, automatic delivery of your eBooks on the first of the month, with no hassle and no waiting -- you get them long before they are available in brick-and-mortar stores. In addition, subscribers enjoy significant discounts on the regular eBook prices.

To help you choose the right series for your sensibility, Harlequin offers the first 2 books from any eligible series completely free of charge. There are no hidden costs or obligations (to buy more books etc) involved. The offer is real. No catch. The books are meant as evaluation copies; if you don't like them, or if you change your mind for whatever reason or decide you don't really like the idea of subscribing at all, simply contact eHarlequin's customer service before the end of the month to cancel and that's that. The eBooks you downloaded are yours to keep. And of course, you don't need to be a subscriber to be able to buy eBooks from that series or any other at the Harlequin eBook store, so downloading free eBooks is also a good way to evaluate the merchandise before buying it -- even if you're not the subscribing type.

If you do want to keep your subscription, do nothing and on the first of each month you'll get from 3 to 8 new titles to your Harlequin eBook Store Bookshelf -- the amount depends on the series you've chosen and the package you've purchased.
