One of my favorite books of recent years is a post-apocalypse trans-Siberian trucker story, DRIVEN. It came out a few years ago under the name Eve Kenin, but the author recently republished it under her real name, Eve Silver.I read this book when it first came out and even though I would never have thought to write a romance that a) is set in an Arctic wasteland; b) involves gene manipulation; and c) involves big rig trucking....well, I am still consumed with jealousy that I didn't write this book. It's got everything: a truly kick-ass heroine who fends for herself and saves both herself (and others) more than once, a hero who is tough, sexy, and so endearingly charming it makes me laugh out loud, and a plot filled with taut intrigue and adventure.
When I read it again (in reissued form) recently, it was even better than the first time, and it still made me cry. There's a sequel, HIDDEN, which will hopefully be made available soon because it's just as good as DRIVEN. And then you can all join my campaign to lobby the author for another sequel...
I think you should be able to find it at most ebook retailers.
Thank you to Caroline Linden for sharing her recommendation with me! I asked Caroline to be a part of this feature because I really enjoy her Historical Romance books. She skips so many of the standard and ridiculous tropes of the genre and she leaves me satisfied every time I read one of her books. Her novella, I love the Earl, won the RITA this year for Best Romance Novella!

I read lots of self-pubbed books and the quality has definitely improved from a few years ago. Let's see, I just read Easy, by Tammara Webber. I also loved On Dublin Street by Samantha Young, Perfection by RL Matthewson, Lumberjack in Love by Penny Watson, and I just read my first Kristen Ashley book, Motorcycle Man. In UF, I also recently read Blade Song by JC Daniels (Shiloh Walker), loved it and can't wait for the sequel.

thanks for a fun post and giveaway! Ummm.... I find a lot of self pub books through the book blogs that I visit and there is a blog that heavily features free and reduced price indie/self pub books that I usually end up buying heavily from Kindle. The last good self pub book I read was Midnight Scandals (Fitzhugh Trilogy #2.5)
by Courtney Milan, Sherry Thomas, Carolyn Jewel. It's HR but was very good!
Two that I have really loved started out self published but then got picked up by publishers. Easy by Tammara Webber and On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves.
I am not sure what the last self-published books were that I read.
I hate to say it, but I dont usually pay attention to the publisher when picking a book.
