From Publisher Carina Press
From Carina Press, one set of the following books:
- Choose Your Shot: An Interactive Erotic Adventure by Christine d’Abo
- The Derby Girl by Tamara Morgan
- The Mysterious Case of Mr. Strangeway by Karina Cooper
- Picture Perfect Wedding by Fiona Lowe
I do not have a favorite Carina Press book, I am yet to read one :/
The Derby Girl cover is fierce! I can’t wait to read it.
I don’t have any favorite
I’m really interested in Choose Your Shot. I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid, and I’m curious about how the format will translate to an ebook. Thanks for another great give away!
Shannon Stacey’s Exclusively Yours — always like the reunited lovers theme…
I have not read any Carina Press books but I would like to .
Breath On Embers by Anne Calhoun!
Boomerang Bride by Fiona Lowe is my favorite Carina Press title. Thank you for hosting these giveaways.
I loved all of Shannon Stacey’s books.
Ok, Derby Girl is a perfect example of a striking cover that completely captures my attention. And it doesn’t hurt that cover model looks like Laura Prepon’s Alex Vause in my favorite new tv obsession, Orange is the New Black.
Favorite book by Carina? hmm…I don’t pay attention to publishers unless I am actively boycotting one… so I’ll just go with the one I know I’ve read and enjoyed “Goddess with a Blade’ by Lauren Dane.
I love Carina Press! My favorite so far is Jax Garren’s Tales of the Underlight series.
I’ve read a few attempts at erotic or romance choose-your-own-adventure–a format I love!–and all but one of them really, really disappointed by not making strong use of the format or not giving the reader any sense of agency. That said, I want to see another one that works, and I’m rooting for this author to have done a great job!
I did recently read something from Carina Press that I liked a lot, but I’m not sure what it is–and there’s no easy way to see the publishers on my eBook list. Looks like I need to invest in some of that software that helps catalogue books.
ETA: The Derby Girl cover did catch my eye when I was about to pass the giveaway by.
My favorite Carina Press books are from Shannon Stacey’s “The Kowalski Family” series! I adore that series so much! And thank you for holding this giveaway!
Not sure if I have a favorite Carina Press *yet* :-)
I don’t think I’ve read one yet! But I want to :)
I haven’t read many of hem though there are quite a few on my TBR pile. I’ll go with Lorenda Christensen’s Never Deal with Dragons which I’m currently reading.
Shannon Stacey’s books with Carina Press are almost all great!
My favorites would have to be Shannon Stacey’s books.
None yet, they’re new to me. I’ll let you know once I’ve read one! ;)
Second Chances by Lauren Dane.
I love Carina Press, I’ve had consistently good luck with my selections from them.
Thanks for the chance to win
My favorite Carina Press books so far are the Cindy Spencer Pape Gaslight Chronicles.
Would love to try The Mysterious Case of Mr. Strangeway.
Thanks to everyone for the contest. ♥
Beautiful covers, very funny! I hope to read soon some of the books!
These books sound great! Can’t wait to read them!
I don’t always pay attention to publishers but I really like the Carina Press holiday anthologies. My fave novella from those is either one of Shannon Stacey’s or Nine Lights Over Edinburgh by Harper Fox.
I’ve read a lot of great books from Carina Press so it’s difficult to pick one favorite, but if I have to put one down, I really enjoyed Diana Copland’s A Reason to Believe. Thanks again for the giveaways!
Yours to Keep by Shannon Stacey. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for another great giveaway! I don’t have a Carina press favorite, as I’ve yet to read one but I do have a few on my TBR shelves.
I like Shannon Stacey, Cathy Pegau, and Stacy Boyd.
I didn’t realize Carina published interactive fiction, going to have to check it out!
I’ve read very few Carina Press titles so far, so I can’t really determine a favourite yet.
The covers are pretty.
I’ve got to go with the first Carina book I read back when they opened, Shannon Stacey’s Exclusively Yours.
I have some new autobuy authors I found from reading their Carina Press books. As well as a bunch of Carina titles yet to read in my TBR pile.
Very intrigued by “Derby Girl”
I follow quite a few of series from Carina Press. Thanks for the giveaway.
All of Shannon Stacey’s books! I have a few other Carina Press books in my TBR pile that have real potential too–is anyone giving away extra time so I can get more reading done? I need to get in that line….
My “favorite” book is usually the one I just finished, and the most recent Carina book I’ve read was Boomerang Bride. :)
The most recent is Never Deal With Dragons by Lorenda Christensen. Loved the book. My favorite from the giveaway is Mr. Strangeway, I love Karina Cooper.
I love several of the Shannon Stacey books, and The Winning Season by Alison Packard was also an enjoyable read.
I don’t have one fave Carina Press book but I’m enjoying HelenKay Dimon’s Holloway Series and Shannon Stacey’s Kowalski series.
One of my favorite books, Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley is put out by Carina Press, and yep I love Shannon Stacey’s books also. Oh , I just saw someone mention Allison Packard’s The Winning Season and I really liked that one too.
I love Shannon Stacey’s books !
Yours to Keep
Planning for Love (Christi Barth) was pretty good, too.
I really enjoyed Rush Me by Allison Parr recently. It’s my new favorite.
The Derby Girl cover is awesome! I’m not sure if I’ve read anything from them yet.
Shannon Stacey
I haven’t read a Carina Press book yet.
Toni Anderson’s “Storm Warning.”
My favorite CP author is Shannon Stacey. I can’t pick a favorite book. :-)
No idea about Carina Press books, but the covers here caught my interest.
I can only hope these giveaways are international…
Books by Alex Beecroft, Josh Lanyon and KA Mitchell are amongst my favourites… I love thir M/M selection, always had great reads!
I’m not sure if I have read any Carina books yet.
Susanna Fraser and Ann Calhoun.
I’m a big fan of Christi Barth, Shannon Stacey and Reese Ryan! I’ll read anything they write:). As I haven’t read anything by the authors in this giveaway, I’m looking forward to new discoveries.
I’ll go with author’s instead of a book. Love Vivian Arend, Moria Rogers and Marie Harte :)
My faves are the Allegra Fairweathers and the Dylan Scott Mysteries.
Thanks..
I love Carina Press!!! Just everything they publish!
I don’t think I’ve read any, but I notice bought quite a few that are sitting on my tbr list.
Been loving the Shannon Stacey and HelenKay Dimon stories, and loved the holiday novellas that included ones by Alison Kent and Jaci Burton…
My favorite Carina Press books would have to the The Kowalski series by Shannon Stacey. Love me some Kowalskis LOL!!
Shannon Stacey! She rocks!
I don’t have a favorite.

I love Carina Press . . . Shannon Stacey, Jaci Burton, Helenkay Dimon . . . Yum
Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
I don’t have a favorite, but Derby Girl might be it once I read it. Love the blurb, stunning cover!
Shannon Stacey!
I really liked Shannon Stacey series but Lauren Dane’s Goddess with a Blade edges her out by just a hair.
Unearthed by C.J. Barry
Not sure what Carina Press books I’ve read. The Karina Cooper book looks good
Was intrigued by derby girl.
I really enjoy the Kowalski series by Shannon Stacey. Thanks for the chance to win!
Shannon Stacey, I suppose, though I dont know a lot of their other authors
Sorry to say I dont usually pay attention to who publishes a book. If I like the author or the book looks good, that’s it for me. I noticed lots of comments mentioned Shannon Stacey and I do love her books. Thanks for the chance to win. TrishJ
I’ve read quite a few fantastic stories, but the one I’d pick as a favorite would be The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale by Christine Bell. Although I’m getting ready to read Badlands by Seleste deLaney, so it might end up a tie. :D
I like the Cynthia Pape gaslight series and I have read some of the Christmas -set novellas
I’m not sure which books I’ve read are from Carina Press, so I guess I don’t have a favorite.
Ergh? Just one? I adore Carina Press. I’m going with a non-romance title, The Prehistoric Clock by Robert Appleton because it combined my two current obsessions- steampunk and dinosaurs.
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to read Derby Girl!
I’ve liked everything I’ve picked up by Inez Kelley so far!
I did read a Shannon Stacy that I enjoyed, but I don’t know if I’ve really read anything else from Carina. I’d like to get a good introduction!
no fav; haven’t read one yet
I’m pretty sure I’ve read Carina Press books, but I have no clue what they are. :) I don’t usually pay too much attention to the publisher. :/
I love Delphine Dryden’s Carina Press series, The Science of Temptation –Book 1 The Theory of Attraction and Book 2 The Seduction Hypothesis.
I have a lot of Carina Press favorites! The contemporaries are always stellar. My most recent favorite has been Alison Packard’s Love in the Afternoon.
There are so many good Carina press books. Off the top of my head:
– Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun
– The Seduction Hypothesis and Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden
– Kowalski series by Shannon Stacey
– the holiday anthologies, f/m and m/m are always good too.
My favorite Carina Press book would have to be either Falke’s Peak but I have many other Carina Press books.
sounds fantastic! I love Carina press books! Thanks for sharing ;)
I rarely pay attention to publishers, so I honestly don’t know who my favorite Carina Press book or author may be.
The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden
I’ve read quite a few books by Carina Press authors and one that I enjoy is Marie Force.
I have had the pleasure of reading several contemporary romances by Carina authors and loved them. Now that I’m a Historical fan, I want to try some of their novels in that vein!
Thank you for the giveaway.

I really enjoy Alison Packard’s books. Kat Latham’s book, Knowing the Score, is quite good as well.
I’m not usre of any specific books by Carina I’ve read, though I did just win Keeping the Score by Kat Latham from facebook giveaway and I’m really excited to read it.
Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun is my favorite.
Also I just realized it’s called Knowing the Score. How embarrassing.
I think that “Picture Perfect Wedding” by Fiona Lowe might just be a new favorite.
I don’t have a favorite Carina book. Lot of my friends write for them tho :)
Any of Shannon Stacey’s books.
I haven’t read any Carina Press books, so I would love to win!
I went to the roller derby yesterday; it was so much fun!
I don’t think I’ve read a carina press book but I’d love to :)
Shannon Stacey’s books
Read some books by Karina Cooper awsome
I also love Marie Force’s Fatal series!
I have to pick ONE? Can I take a cop out and say too many to count? :)
Favorite Carina Press title would probably have to be Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun – but it’s a hard choice! I love buying from Carina because I know that 99% of the time I’m going to be really happy with the choice. I’ve had great luck shopping with them.
Don’t have a favorite Carina Press book yet. :)
Ava March’s Brook Street Trilogy is the only one that comes to mind, but I know there are others too!
I really loved Picture Perfect, but Boomerang Bride may still be my favorite.
Love Carina Press — Shannon Stacey and Adrienne Giordanno are my favorites.
Hard to pick a favorite, but I am currently reading Only Fear by Ann Marie Becker.
I have not read a Carina Press book yet. This would be a nice way to start :)
I did not realize Shannon Stacey was with Carina Press. Love her books!
I’ve really enjoyed every Shannon Stacey book and novella that has been published through Carina. I’m also reading and like Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun, The Winning Season by Alison Packard, and Knowing the Score by Kat Latham. I’m sure there are plenty more but I tend to associate books with authors rather than with publishers.
I’m not sure about any books I’ve read from Carina Press, but if I win this giveaway I can!!
haven’t ready any yet :(
Favourite Carina Press book? Probably The Seduction Hypothesis by Delphine Dryden
Not sure what my favorite Carina Press title is but I do own many of their releases. I enjoy following Angela James on Twitter.
The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden. I read that one in pretty much one sitting. So good.
Look forward to reading and picking a favorite :)
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Thanks!
Have not read any yet, but have definitely added to my TBR!
