BIO: Jaci Burton is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling, award-winning author of over 60 books. She lives in Oklahoma and when she isn’t on deadline (which is often), she can usually be found wrestling with her uncooperative garden, wrangling her dogs, watching an unhealthy amount of television, or completely losing track of time reading a great book. She’s a total romantic and longs for the happily ever after in every story, which you’ll find in all her books.

When Colin MacCaffe’s personal life comes crashing down around him, he leaves the big city behind for a fresh start in the small town of Holiday Vermont. As the Deputy Chief of Police he spends his time making sure the town he’s come to call his own is safe. The only problem in his peaceful life is the arrival of his next door neighbor’s sister. A woman who threatens to destroy the peace of his new life. After years of putting one foot in front of the other, acting like she was fine for her family Brynn Sanderson – Jackson is mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted. All she wants is a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation while she house sits for her sister. What she gets instead is a trip to the hospital, emergency surgery, and the neighbor next door.

I’ve loved SEP and Jaci and Jill Shalvis’s sports books, among others. For courtesan stories, Ms. Lin’s are spectacular.
My fav sport is Football!! However any sport with a man in tight pants will do ;p
I’m not sure I can pick a favorite sports romance. I love all of Jaci’s Play-by-Play series books, but if forced to choose, I’d say Jenna & Tyler from Taking A Shot!

My favorite sport is football and my favorite courtesan book is Claiming the Courtesan by Anna Campbell.
Favorite Sport: I’m a sports fanatic and I’m married to a sports writer. I guess if I had to pick I’d have to say Football and NASCAR are the sports I like the most. I’ve read two of the Play-by Play series books and plan on reading the others from Jaci Burton. The stories are great and love the characters. I’ve also, enjoyed Susan Elizabeth Phillips Chicago Stars books and Rachel Gibson’s hockey books.
As for courtesan books, I just finished Jeannie Lin’s My Fair Concubine and loved it.
I don’t watch sports and generally dislike sports romances. But I do like Susan Elisabeth Phillips Chicago football series, especially “It had to be you”.

European football of course! But can’t forget about Hockey :)
I love Jaci Burton’s Play by Play series. It would be fan-tastic to win a signed set. Thanks for a chance to win. :D

I loved watching my kids play soccer. I like to play volleyball, ride horses and would love to try archery (even before Hunger Games and Brave). I didn’t even realize “Sports Romance” was a sub-genre until recently but I enjoy reading most romances and have Jaci Burton on my wish list.
I love small town books (romance or cozy mysteries), Heather’s book sounds like something I’d enjoy

Favorite sport by far is football, I can’t wait for it to start! I’ve always wanted to read this series, but the price has always kept me away. Kate Angell’s Richmond Rogues, and Susan Elizabeth Chicago Stars series.
Can’t wait to read all the books! I’ve downloaded them and not sure what to read first!
Hmm…football, if I have to choose one, though hockey is a close second. :)
I love the covers of Jaci Burton’s books. Hot! I love baseball, it’s awesome when I find a baseball romance book.
My favorite sport is baseball. Would love the Play by Play series. Go Phils!!!
College football all the way!! Boomer Sooner!!!! Love the Play by Play series Jaci ♥♥

Basketball is my fav sport!
Love the Play by Play series..really any book by Jaci….thanks for the chance to win some books..:)
Favorite sports are football and hockey. Love this series and Jaci Burton is one of my favorite authors.
I love reading all sports but am a NHRA fan in real life. I have a lot of these books on my wish list, just haven’t been able purchase them yet.
I love All the books by Jaci Burton. My have sport is Football!
I love football the most, having grown up in a football-watching family. As soon as pre-season started, my mom would set up her huge quilting rack and sew, listening/watching college and pro games. I didn’t inherit Mama’s quilting genes, but football games are always playing in the background during the fall season. My hubby teases sometimes that he’s a football widower!
I love all of the “Play by Play” books. Now, Ms Burton has to write a book about a basketball player :-)
Love Jaci Burton. Her books are all so well written. Would love to have a signed set of this series.
this is great. thank you
I love all of Jaci Burton’s Play by Play, Toni Aleo’s Nashville Assasins Series is awesome (Hockey)! I also loved Fourth and Goal by Jami Davenport!
During the summer favorite sport is baseball. During the winter is college basketball
Taking a Shot is my favorite in the series!
Would love a chance at print copies :)
Me love Soccer! <3
My favorite sport is football. The Play by Play series has also made me a fan of hockey & baseball! :-)
Favorite sport: hockey, hands down. I’ve enjoyed all of Jaci’s Play-by-Play books so far (I still have to read Thrown by a Curve and One Sweet Ride), and Deirdre Martin’s hockey series (she’s the reason I read romance books).
Favorite Sport? I love rodeo and hockey.
I love all sports but my favorite would be hockey!
My favorite sport is NBA basketball. We need more basketball sports romances!
Ooh, I’ve been wanting to read the Play By Play series for a while now, but haven’t been able to find them in my library. Fingers crossed!!
Oh, I love the Jaci Burton covers. *sigh*
The Winning Season by Allison Packard is a great baseball romance.
Love Jaci! And I love romance with a sports theme.
I loved the Play By Play series. Favorite sport is football
My favorite sport is football.
Hockey and baseball. Love them both.
Huge fan of Jaci’s work! Very sensual, heart wrenching books, the best kind, :)
Since reading is not a sport…I’d say ping pong.
Yummy covers!
Love many types of books.. sports,paranormal, rockstars & ect…
I love baseball, but I’m not sure about a baseball romance. Hmmmm… Maybe a hockey romance? But I don’t really watch hockey.
I’m such a huge fan of Jaci Burton. I love sports romances but my fave sport is hockey!
Great giveaway, would love to win this set of Jaci’s books. I enjoy pro football, college football and baseball!
I’m really not a ‘real’ sports fan, but reading stories with sports as the background, or as an integral part of the story — well, those I’ve liked. I did watch basketball when I was in college – didn’t miss a game. I played in the band in high school, and we played at all home games, and even some away ones – but it wasn’t until I was a senior in high school that someone finally explained what they were doing (10 yds advance w/ no more than 4 plays to do it).
Not sure what ‘courtesan book’ I might have read, so I certainly don’t have a favorite. I do know I have loved the synopsis of each of the books by Jeannie Lin.
I believe in 2nd chances — in life, and in love. And sometimes in life we need even 3rd and 4th chances. In love, first time around happiness is / would be wonderful; but, if 1st time plays out, 2nd chance at love to find a HEA is awesome. And, does Heather Lire’s novel have a hint of mystery as well?
I think it’s great that authors have give aways. Love Jaci Burton. And would love to have the chance to win from any of the authors.
Thanks.
My favourite sport is cricket, but I don’t know of any romances about this sport. Happy for any recommendations.
I’d rather read about sports than watch I and. Ont think I’ve ever read a courtesan book
I like playing sports but I don’t usually watch too many of them. I do love reading sport romances though. Football, soccer, hockey are my favourites.
I’m not to sure about courtesans though I do like Eloisa James books.
I don’t believe I have ever read a courtesan book before, let alone have a favorite one.
Favorite sports: football (soccer). Thanks for doing this!
Football :)
I love baseball the best!
I love watching baseball and football, and I’m a sucker for any type of sports romance. I first read Bella Andre and through her found Jaci Burton. Love them both!
Love Jaci’s books!!!
Favorite sport would be hockey!!
College Football and basketball
I love any kind of sports romance, but my favorite kinds right now are probably hockey and football. Can’t ever go wrong with hot men though in any situation! ;)
I haven’t picked up Jaci Burton in a long, long while and man don’t I love some of those covers. ;) Recently piced up Jeannie Lin for the first time and I really enjoyed Butterfly Swords. Loved the setting.
I haven’t read this series yet, but I love finding new ones!
My favorite sport is wrestling and I have never read a courtesan book but think I will start looking for some to read now.
Always looking for a new author, one I havent read before, thanks for the opportunity
I love football. It is the one sport my hubby and I watch together. :)
Favorite sport? Baseball! Favorite courtesan romance? Probably “A Notorious Countess Confesses,” although her courtesan days are well in the past.
I’m loving giveaway month!
I love hockey and racing. Jaci Burton books are wonderful. Exciting and sexy.
I love to play and watch(!!) a lot of sports, from voleyball and football to swimming, so I don’t really have a favorite. But my fav sports romance is definitely Jaci’s Play by Play series. :)
I love both playing and watching a lot of sports from voleyball and football to swimming, so I don’t really have a favourite. But my fav sports romance is definitely the Play by Play series!! :)
I read Jaci’s Thrown by a Curve and is was wonderful. Best covers out there in this series by far. Would love to read the others.
Favorite sport: does speed reading count? Thanks for all the giveaways this month!
Favorite sports – Thunder basketball and Sooner football!
Favorite sport to watch: golf
Favorite sport romance: See Jane Score by Rachel Gibson
I love baseball romances they are usually pretty hot!
I don’t think that I have read any courtesan books!
Thank you so much for the chance to win some awesome books
Love the play by play series
I love Jeannie Lin books and my favorite sports romance is See Jane Score.
I love soccer!
SEP’s Chicago Stars books are my favorite sports romances.
My favorite sport is reading…oh, wait…reading isn’t a sport, huh.
Favorite sport is basketball!
I loved the first book in Jaci Burton’s series.
I haven’t read many sports-based romances, but I love the hockey playing shifters in the Shelly Laurenston books!
Again, I haven’t read many courtesan romances, but I do love Moulin Rouge!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Pro basketball definitely. Last year, out of 82 regular Chicago Bulls games, I watched about 79 of them. That doesn’t even take into account other teams or playoff games. I literally watched at least part of every playoff game. Yeah, my husband loves my little obsession. ;-)
I’m afraid the “courtesan” isn’t my favorite trope in romance novels, so I can’t say I’ve read many…I’ve read and enjoyed A Notorious Countess Confesses by Julie Anne Long (but then I generally enjoy everything she’s written, so it wasn’t about the courtesan thing at all). I’m also looking forward to reading A Gentleman Undone by Cecilia Grant, which has been in my TBR list forever. Jeannie Lin – I’m so excited to read her as I’ve heard so much about her!
I love football but baseball is a close second.
I am trying once again to see if I can ‘score’ one or more of the amazon Jaci Burton books.
I am an all around sports fan. Hockey, since I’m Canadian; Football, have you seen those butts?? And all those tall long tattooed drinks in basketball dont hurt the eyes either!!
I have entered about every contest I come across and applied for ever ARC available, without luck. Perhaps it is not in the cards for me, it certainly is not in the budget, but since I love my blog and there are many more good writers out there (even though they’re not Jaci Burton!), there will always be books to read and review to write……..I just had to try one more time!!!
Thanks for an awesome contest!!
Favorite sport is football.
In school I dated a football jock. I later married a former high school football jock. And I raised a football jock *facepalm.* We eat, sleep and breathe the sport in this household!
Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway chance!
LOVE Jaci Burton’s sports romances… also Bella Andre… Rox Lee…. Jami Davenport…
My favorite sport is football, but hockey is a close second, every sport should have a penalty box!
Also, my favorite sports romance is probably It Had to Be You by SEP.
My favourite sport is hockey! It’s the only sport that I watch actual games to cheer for my hometown team. As for sports romance, I’d read about any sport.
For all that I really don’t like baseball that buch I do like books about it.
Love hockey! And I really liked Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Lady Be Good
