I recently found a gift card a friend sent me to use at BAM. It’s gotta be a least a year or more since she gave it to me. I’m more of a Kindle reader these days but I didn’t want the gift card to go to waste so I decided to use it for books to use in a giveaway here. Woot woot! 🙂
I tried to get a mix of every genre and kept them to recent or almost recent releases. Giveaway is easy peasy because I’m all about the easy peasy contests, K? Just comment on this post with the title of the book you want to read the most. That’s it. You don’t have to like me/follow me/link me/or whatever other random thing I’ve seen. This is open to all so anyone and everyone can enter for the chance to win. My only stipulation is that you don’t comment with one email address then come back and comment again under a different email address. Yes, that has happened and yes, they never won anything from me when they did. Giveaway will end on August 19, 2012.
They say that opposites attract. But what happens when one has been devastated by betrayal and the other is so jaded that his heart is made of stone? Enter the world of Friday Harbor, an enchanting town in the Pacific Northwest where things are not quite as they seem and where true love might just have a ghost of a chance….
Alex Nolan is as bitter and cynical as they come. One of the three Nolan brothers who call Friday harbor home, he’s nothing like Sam or Mark. They actually believe in love; they think the risk of pain is worth the chance of happiness. But Alex battles his demons with the help of a whiskey bottle, and he lives in his own private hell. And then a ghost shows up. Only Alex can see him, Has Alex finally crossed over the threshold to insanity?
Zoë Hoffman is as gentle and romantic as they come. When she meets the startling gorgeous Alex Nolan, all her instincts tell her to run. Even Alex tells her to run. But something in him calls to Zoë, and she forces him to take a look at his life with a clear eye and to open his mind to the possibility that love isn’t for the foolish.
The ghost has been existing in the half-light of this world for decades. He doesn’t know who he is, or why he is stuck in the Nolans’ Victorian house. All he knows is that he loved a girl once. And Alex and Zoë hold the key to unlocking a mystery that keeps him trapped here.
Zoë and Alex are oil and water, fire and ice, sunshine and shadow. But sometimes it takes only a glimmer of light to chase away the dark, and sometimes love can reach beyond time, space, and reason to take hold of hearts that yearn for it…
A life can change in an instant . . .
No one knows this better than Miss Cleopatra Hadley,who went from poverty to plenty when she discovered one of England’s richest men was her true father whowanted her to share his wealth . . . if she married intothe upper echelons of Society. A high price to pay for someone whose mother taught her just howdangerous a marriage could be.
An imposing yet impoverished Scots nobleman,Lord Logan McKinney knows he must wed some vapidtitle-hunter with a substantial dowry in order torestore his once-thriving estate. Having the vibrantCleo nearby, however, makes his task even moreunpalatable—for she tempts him like no other woman . . .just as he’s precisely the sort of man she most fears:exciting, unpredictable, fiercely passionate. But whenattraction proves too powerful, they succumbto a kiss that quickly leads to lessonstoo scandalous for even thedarkest nights . . .
LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT
Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over from scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor, working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes from caring for Josh’s lovable mutt to caring for his rambunctious son. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy single dad . . .
With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for anything outside of his clinic and family-until Grace arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “good bedside manner.” Josh and Grace don’t know if what they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day . . .
In this thrilling tale of the Immortals After Dark, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole reveals secrets of the Lore, fierce realm of the immortals.
ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD
Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown by offering up the soul of his lovely new captive, Elizabeth Peirce. Yet the young human soon tempts him beyond reason.
A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER
Ellie Peirce’s life was a living hell—even before an evil immortal abducted her. Though he plans to sacrifice her, the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, she surrenders her body, while vowing to protect her heart.
CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED
In one month, Lothaire must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will he succumb to the miseries of his past . . . or risk everything for a future with her?
Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past–one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.
For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno…and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.
There it is. Five books. Five winners. Open to all. Remember this giveaway ends August 19th. 🙂
OMG! This is just too cool! Thanks Mad 🙂
Would love to win Sophie Jordan!

They are all enticing, but when push comes to shove (it does?), I would really like to read Jill Shavis’s FOREVER AND A DAY first, if possible. Thanks so much.
BTW, I like how you figured out an excellent use of the gift card. I am very much into getting the most bang for your buck, so to speak. I finish the ends of all bottles (etc.) possible, I save items for local charities, I donate to several causes, I find alternative uses for things I no longer need, etc.etc.
I’m glad you got the blog to work out; I was wondering why I couldn’t open the previous one….

Lisa Kleypas’s Dream Lake is the run away winner on this one. I love, love, love Lisa Kleypas’ books.

Out of all shown there Tangle of Need is the book I want to read the most because it’s Nalini Singh. Singh has really blown me away with her books. Not sure what she does but that woman is wicked in world building.

I would love to read Dream Lake by Lisa Kleypas. I enjoy both her historicals and contemporaries, but her contemporaries (Travises) are my favorite. Alex needs his HEA badly 😦
I also like to mix up my genres when mixing. I’m sort of in a reading slump and have been reading from different genres just to get my interest flowing. If not I may have to go for a re-read of an old favorite. Thanks for another great giveaway!
Lisa Kleypas! Love her much! and waiting (not) patiently for this book of her… Dream Lake, please be close to me! 😀
I have been waiting so long for Dream Lake.

What a great giveaway! My first choice would be Lothaire as I recently picked up the first 4 books. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t read any Kresley Cole yet. I’m not sure how I missed out when they were first released, but I’m making up for lost time. Second choice would be Forever and a Day by Jill Shalvis. Her books are always fun to read.
