Where Can I Read A Merry Little Lie Free Online?

If you want to read 'A Merry Little Lie' without paying for the full ebook right away, there are a handful of totally legit routes I’d try first — I love hunting down free or low-cost ways to get into a new holiday read, and this one’s been popping up across the usual places. The book is a new Harlequin/Canary Street Press holiday release by Sarah Morgan (released October 7, 2025), so most major retailers carry it and Harlequin even offers a 'Look Inside' preview on the book page. One quick and easy option is to use the preview features on retailer or publisher pages: Apple Books, Kobo, Amazon/Kindle (preview), and Harlequin’s shop usually let you read the first chapter or two for free so you can see if the tone hooks you. I often use those previews to decide whether to borrow a copy or buy, and for 'A Merry Little Lie' you can find those sample pages on Apple’s store and on the publisher’s page. If you want the whole book free, your best legal bet is your public library. Harlequin titles are widely distributed to library ebook/audiobook services, and 'A Merry Little Lie' shows up in OverDrive/Libby catalogs — that means if your library has a copy you can borrow the ebook or audiobook at no cost, just using your library card (and if it’s currently checked out, you can place a hold). I can’t overstate how often I snag new releases this way; Libby/OverDrive and Hoopla are lifesavers for holiday reads. If you’re open to audiobooks, there are subscription trials that can get you the title for free for a limited time. For example, some audiobook services and retailers (like Barnes & Noble’s audiobook offering) have new-account trials or subscription perks that can include new releases — the Barnes & Noble audiobook listing shows it as available free with a B&N Audiobooks subscription (trial options differ by region). Storytel and other subscription platforms sometimes include Harlequin audiobooks in their catalogs too, so a short free trial could let you listen without buying. Those trials are handy if you don’t mind canceling before the paid period starts. Quick practical tips from my own reading habit: search your local library’s catalog on Libby/OverDrive first, because you’ll often have waitlist options; if the library doesn’t have it, ask them — many libraries can request titles from other systems. If you just want a peek, use the publisher/retailer previews I mentioned. And if you’re planning to listen instead of read, check subscription trials thoughtfully so you don’t get billed after the trial ends. I love how many legal, free ways there are to try a new holiday romance before committing to a purchase — makes greedy holiday reading guilt-free, honestly.
