MAY RELEASES
Hush by Cherry Adair, on sale now.
New York Times Bestselling author Cherry Adair introduces an edgy, sexy new suspense series with this exhilarating international tale of hide and seek.
A reckless adventure in a deadly paradise.
Thrill seekers Zakary and Gideon Stark travel the globe in search of extreme adventure, but a trip to Venezuela to jump off the world’s highest falls catapults them into a perilous game of life or death—where they don’t know the rules.
A one-night stand that will change his life forever.
Kidnapped with a woman Zak knows nothing about, the brothers are held prisoner deep in the jungle. A risky, deathdefying escape separates them and nearly claims Zak’s life . . . until his recovery reveals a baffling new sixth sense.
An unexpected diversion with lethal consequences.
Now, to find his missing brother, Zak and the mysterious Acadia Gray will have to out-smart, out-gun, and out-maneuver not just the brutal kidnappers but also a new player who joins the adrenaline game: a ruthless opponent who wants the Stark brothers dead—at any cost.
Tangled by Jennifer Estep, on sale now.
I’d rather face a dozen lethal assassins any night than deal with something as tricky, convoluted, and fragile as my feelings.
But here I am. Gin Blanco, the semi-retired assassin known as the Spider. Hovering outside sexy businessman Owen Grayson’s front door like a nervous teenage girl. One thing I like about Owen: he doesn’t shy away from my past—or my present. And right now I have a bull’s-eye on my forehead. Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the smartest assassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is skilled and efficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent as my own Ice and Stone powers. Which means there’s a fifty-fifty chance one of us won’t survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleur—or die trying—because Mab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister, Detective Bria Coolidge, too. The only problem is, Bria has no idea I’m her long-lost sibling . . . or that I’m the murderer she’s been chasing through Ashland for weeks. And what Bria doesn’t know just might get us both dead. . . .
Dark Descendant by Jenna Black, on sale now.
From the acclaimed author of the Morgan Kingsley, Exorcist books comes the gripping first novel in a new series about a private eye who discovers, to her surprise, that she’s an immortal huntress.
Nikki Glass can track down any man. But when her latest client turns out to be a true descendant of Hades, Nikki now discovers she can’t die. . . . Crazy as it sounds, Nikki’s manhunting skills are literally god-given. She’s a living, breathing descendant of Artemis who has stepped right into a trap set by the children of the gods. Nikki’s new “friends” include a descendant of Eros, who uses sex as a weapon; a descendant of Loki, whose tricks are no laughing matter; and a half-mad descendant of Kali who thinks she’s a spy. But most powerful of all are the Olympians, a rival clan of immortals seeking to destroy all Descendants who refuse to bow down to them. In the eternal battle of good god/bad god, Nikki would make a divine weapon. But if they think she’ll surrender without a fight, the gods must be crazy. . . .
Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay, on sale now.
Once upon a time, fairies were the stuff of bedtime stories and sweet dreams. Then came the mutations, and the dre-ams became nightmares. Mosquito-size fairies now indulge their taste for human blood—and for most humans, a fairy bite means insanity or death. Luckily, Annabelle Lee isn’t most humans. The hard-drinking, smart-mouthed, bicycle-riding redhead is immune to fairy venom, and able to do the dirty work most humans can’t. Including helping law enforcement— and Cane Cooper, the bayou’s sexiest detective—collect evidence when a body is discovered outside the fairy-proof barricades of her Louisiana town.
But Annabelle isn’t equipped to deal with the murder of a sixyear- old girl or a former lover-turned-FBI snob taking an interest in the case. Suddenly her already bumpy relationship with Cane turns even rockier, and even the most trust-worthy friends become suspects. Annabelle’s life is imploding: between relationship drama, a heartbreaking murder investigation, Breeze-crazed drug runners, and a few too many rum and Cokes, Annabelle is a woman on the run—from her past, toward her future, and into the arms of a darkness waiting just for her. . . .

A fallen angel in human form, Brynna is trying to earn another chance at heaven. So far, her road to redemption is littered with casualties, especially since Lucifer’s minions are intent on dragging her back to hell. And being mortal only got more complicated since Brynna became involved with Detective Eran Redmond.
Still, Brynna’s relationship issues—like the fact that one glimpse of her can drive men crazy with desire—may have to wait. A mysterious “hero” is saving Chicago’s citizens from certain death, with strange and sinister consequences. Brynna knows too much about demonkind to believe in coincidences. Some dark force is at work here, and Brynna may be the only one who can stop it. . . .

I’d like to read Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 13:41:38
Can’t wait for A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 13:47:31
So many great books!
I’d love to get Jenna Black’s “Dark Descendant” (though this was a tough call to make with M. Duran’s and Y. Navarro’s books on the list!)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 13:52:53
I can’t wait for:
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran
Jun 19, 2011 @ 13:53:37
Terrific Contest!
“Bound by Moonlight” by Nancy Gideon–I am loving this series!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 13:59:44
I’d like to read Kristina Douglas’ Demon…I’ve read the first in this series and enjoyed it tremendously :)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:00:58
I’m most interested in A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:03:21
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran. I’m so far behind, all these series I didn’t even know existed. We call this a “happy” problem.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:07:23
The book I’d most like to read is Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:08:28
I would love to give Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay a try. I love a good Southern Paranormal and I need something to tide me over for the wait between the last Kate Daniels (devoured in a day) and the next Edge Book.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:11:24
I’m interested in Demon by Kristina Douglas. It sounds like my type of book.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:11:41
Please enter me for Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal. I have enjoyed all her books and this will be on the top of my TBR pile when it comes out.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:12:20
I’d love to read Black Heart Loa or Night Falls on the Wicked!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:12:44
I can’t wait to read The Hour of Dust and Ashes by Kelly Gay!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:13:37
I’m always looking for a good new romantic suspense author and I haven’t tried Cindy Gerard yet, so With No Remorse sounds good to me.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:16:10
Tough choices, but I think I’ll try to win a new author for me, so I’ll go for Kindling the Moon.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:16:53
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal sounds very interesting. I would love to win that book. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:19:57
I’ve never read her before, but Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay looks interesting.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:20:17
I would most like to read Shadow Fall by Seressia Glass. The first 2 books in the series were fantastic.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:27:25
A tie between Snapped and A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal either
would make me happy.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:37:20
I’ll take HIGH COUNTRY BRIDE by Linda Lael Miller.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:39:30
I can’t wait for Cindy Gerard’s “With No Remorse” to be released.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:40:40
I cannot wait to read Laura Griffin’s Snapped. I love her Tracer series, Ric and Mia are my favorite couple so far.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:41:22
I’d love Merredith Durran “A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal” – she is one of my current favourite authors.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:43:01
All the books sounds fantastic, and there are quite a few I’m excited to read. But there are two that I’m desperate to get my hands on, Kelly Gay’s The Hour of Dust and Ashes and Gena Showalter’s Dark Taste of Rapture. If I have to say just one, it would be The Hour of Dust and Ashes.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:49:05
I’d love Snapped by Laura Griffin. Love, love her books!!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:52:31
Cindy Gerard’s With No Remorse.
Love her BOI series, though I suspect book #1 Show No Mercy with Gabe & Jenna will always remain my favorite of hers.
Am I the only one having trouble logging into the site?
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:57:54
Would love to read Laura Griffin’s “Snapped” – great series!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:58:43
What a great line up! I’m looking forward to Karen Hawkin’s Scandal in Scotland. :)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 14:59:52
Definitely Duran’s latest for me
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:00:14
If it were an ebook I’d be *all* over A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran. Especially since it comes out on my birthday! :D
Alas – maybe one day the publishers will offer ebooks as well. (Hey, they’d save on shipping, right?)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:01:03
Lord of Shadows actually looks interesting. I love the idea of a paranormal romance regency. Any chance any of these giveaways could be ebooks instead of dtb, though?
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:01:29
I’m looking forward to reading Cindy Gerard’s With No Remorse. Thank you for the giveaway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:01:52
It’s a toss up between A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal, and Dead on the Delta. One the one hand, I love Duran. But on the other, I am very intrigued by the description for DotD.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:04:34
Enemy Mine sounds excellent- I loved the first book in the series so I’m definitely looking forward to this one. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:20:26
I’d love A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.
Since Pocket’s an agency publisher, I’ve missed out on her latest books.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:24:33
I think BLACK HEART LOA sounds fascinating and unique. Would love to win a copy. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:25:25
What a great slate of books coming up!! I can’t wait to read With No Remorse by Cindy Gerard (top pick) and Snapped by Laura Griffin. Both authors are on my list of favorite romantic suspense authors. Thanks for the preview and giveaway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:29:19
So many of the choices look fantastic! It’s hard to pick one, but I’ll go with….A Wedding Wager by Jane Feather.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:34:28
Oh, please put me in for Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal. I am a huge fan of hers, and have been ever since Duke of Shadows. I think she is the most talented of the newer writers, and given the competition, that’s saying a lot.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:40:12
What a great list of upcoming books! I would love to Laura Griffin’s Sanpped or Karin Harlow’s Eneny Mine
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:41:05
With No Remorse by Cindy Gerard is most interesting to me. I love that military romantic suspense stuff, and Cindy Gerard has such great characters.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 15:57:41
I think A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran, looks like a GREAT read!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:06:29
Bound by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon is my first choice.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:08:41
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran looks great, just edging out the Jane Feather and Jude Deveraux titles.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:11:13
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran. Haven’t tried any of her works before, I guess this is as good a place as any to start :)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:14:55
I’d love to read Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:18:12
I can’t wait to read Dark Taste of Rapture.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:20:23
Cindy Gerard’s With No Remorse… I loved To The Brink!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:22:15
I think that the book I’m really looking foward to is The Hour of Dust and Ashes by Kelly Gay. This is a great summer for new releases but I’ve been looking forward to another addition to this great series!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:23:16
Oh, its gotta be A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL by Meredith Duran. She always delivers an unforgettable book. Can’t wait to read her newest!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:26:58
I’d love Snapped by Laura Griffin. Love that series :)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:31:29
There are four books that I can’t wait to read on the list, but if we can only choose one, it’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:33:47
Okay… I’m torn between Dead on the Delta and The Hour of Dust and Ashes!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:34:08
I already have so many of these on my wish list already, but if I had to pick one it would be, Mystical Warrior by Janet Chapman.

Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:38:46
Looking for the Meredith Duran – A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:44:32
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran. It had me at “working class.”
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:54:19
YAYYYYYYYY. A new Duran. She is one of my favourite writers. Now I just need a Sherry Thomas and maybe a Lisa Kleypas to make a cosy little three pack with which to kill a weekend…
Jun 19, 2011 @ 16:55:06
I’ve been dying to read With No Remorse by Cindy Gerard. I already have the entire backlist. :) She doesn’t disappoint!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:05:51
I am wanting to read Mystical Warrior by Jane Chapman. It is on my wishlist. :) Thanks for the giveaway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:07:43
You had to offer two books by Lael Miller! Drat! I settled on High Country Bride but will read both. I have enjoyed the books I have read by this author. I would love to read a straight forward man/woman focussed romance again.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:15:23
ENEMY MINE by Karin Harlow. LOVED the first book, can’t wait to see what is in store in the second.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:20:00
Bound by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon
:) I can’t wait to read what happens next!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:28:24
Ohh I’d have to try Kindling the Moon. Actually very hard to pick. There are a heap there that would be great.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:35:19
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal is my must-read for July! Would love to win it!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:36:31
I love romantic suspense. I’d like to win Laura Griffin’s Snapped or Cherry Adair’s Hush.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:41:31
I like Cherry Adair – Please enter me for Hush by Cherry Adair! (I’ve already got the Laura Griffin on preorder)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:45:37
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran

Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:50:22
Wow… There are so many great titles in that list! I’m most excited about Tangled Threads by Jennifer Estep (I just started reading her series and I LOVE it!) and Dark Descendant by Jenna Black. It looks like we’re going to have a busy summer with lots of good books!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 17:51:10
Black Heart Loa because Ilove the conflicted heroes and heroines that Adrian Phoenix creates
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:01:47
I desperately want to read Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay. The plot looks new and unique. I can’t wait to read it!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:05:16
Dark desentant is on my tbr list
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:06:48
I’m most interested in A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:15:25
Meredith Duran!!! There are a number of interesting looking books on the list, but A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal is my top pick. Love Duran.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:15:46
I really, really can’t wait for Meredith Duran’s new release. Love her.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:23:41
Tangled by Jennifer Estep. I am ready to dive into another UF series.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:37:02
I am looking forward to A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:47:15
There are some good options but I choose A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:50:45
The Duran sounds interesting. I was almost swayed by Dead on the Delta, but not quite.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 18:58:21
I would love Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Love – Or Hush by Cherry Adair!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:01:10
I would read any of them:-) But I’m most interested in TANGLED.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:07:48
Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Love! I’m so excited about that book.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:08:40
I’d definitely be interested in Kindling the Moon by Jen Bennett. Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal might have to go on my to read list as well as the first in the Shadowchaser series by Seressia Glass. Good stuff, thanks for the post!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:11:15
So many of these books sound good but I can’t wait to read Black Heart Loa and Dead on the Delta. I love the covers to some of these as well especially A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:11:43
Oh, so many excellent choices…I think I’ll go with A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran or Jenna Black’s Dark Descedant.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:19:53
Night Falls on the Wicked by Sharie Kohler!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:23:45
“A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal” looks up my alley! I absolutely LOVE the cover! Sad to say I haven’t read anything of Duran, will have to correct that real soon!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:25:01
So many good books that I’m not sure which to choose! I’d rather go with Shadow Fall by Seressia Glass or Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:25:42
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal sounds amazing! I haven’t read any of Meredith Duran’s books yet, but the synopsis for this one interests me.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:26:36
I am really burned out on PNR and Romantic Suspense. But the Meredith Duran title — A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL — sounds like it could be great fun.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:29:52
I’d love With No Remorse by Cindy Gerard. I just started reading her BOI series, and am loving it! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:30:48
Meredith Duran can’t write fast enough as far as I’m concerned. I’d love to read A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:34:42
Dead on the Delta by Stacey Jay looks interesting. I have a soft spot for stories set in the southern US.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:37:25
What a wonderful group of books. I’d love to read Tangled by Jennifer Estep. Her stories are just what I’m looking for to keep me steeped in action and romance.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:38:58
Gosh, so many great books to choose from! I would choose Black Heart Loa in the June release.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:39:24
I’m curious about Dead on the Delta (bicycle-riding? almost sold there). I’ll probably read the Duran anyway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:40:54
I have been looking forward to Mystical Warrior by Janet Chapman for months.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:42:32
So many great books listed. I have quite a few on my wishlist already. Can’t wait to read them. I am really looking forward to A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran and Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:51:12
So many great releases. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Black Heart Loa by Adrian Phoenix. I absolutely loved Black Dust Mambo. I am also looking forward to Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 19:56:21
Would love to enter for Demon by that… ahem… newcomer. ;-)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:13:18
Oh, I can’t wait for Gena Showalter’s Dark Taste of Rapture. Thanks for doing this giveaway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:23:47
As an Anne Stuart fan I am very drawn to “Demon” as I really enjoyed the first book of the series.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:26:38
The book I am looking forward to reading the most and would love a chance to win would be A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL by Meredith Duran. The summary sounds great!
Thank you for such a great giveaway!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:32:11
I’ve been looking forward to Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:32:33
I would love either Cindy Gerard, Laura Griffin or Meredith Duran. Thanks for a cool giveaway.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:45:02
I’m torn between High Country Bride and A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal. When in doubt, I totally judge books by their covers, so I’m going with Meredith Duran. Looks fantastic!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:58:13
I would love the dark taste of rapture!!!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:58:29
I plan to read a few of the books offered. But Jenn Bennett is new to me,so I would like to try a new author. So Kindling the Moon would be my choice. As a bookseller it is great to have new authors to recommend to my regular customers. Thanks for the chance to win this.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 20:58:38
Kindling The Moon sounds good.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:01:04
I am impatiently waiting for With No Remorse from Cindy Gerard
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:03:17
Oh man I so want Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter. I love that series.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:10:10
lots of good books to choose from, but if can only have one I’ll pick A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:11:27
haven’t yet had a chance to get Scandal in Scotland by Karen Hawkins though really looking forward to reading it.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:17:25
“Dark Taste of Rapture” looks great!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:20:08
“Dark Taste of Rapture” – I can never get enough of Gena Showalter!! Eek!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:23:38
I’d love the Meredith Duran – she writes wonderful books! :)
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:25:12
I’ve been hearing good stuff about Stacey Jay’s Dead On The Delta, and since my book budget is already spoken for, winning it would be excellent! ;) t
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:25:54
I can’t wait to read Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter. I adore her Alien Huntress series.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:30:54
Oh man, I’m definitely most anticipating “A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.” Duran’s reliably pretty great.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:42:43
There’s some great books to choose from. Since I love urban fantasy, I’d be really interested in Maria Lima’s Blood Moon.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:44:50
I would love to read A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 21:49:29
So many I would love, but I’ll go with CONCRETE SAVIOR by Yvonne Navarro.
Thanks for the contest!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:05:43
I have to say, Dark Descendant by Jenna Black really tickles my Greek Myth geek.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:05:44
I would choose Black Heart LOA. Sounds awesome :D
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:19:38
The Hour of Dust and Ashes
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:29:11
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal has been on my upcoming must read list since it was announced. Can’t wait!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:44:09
I will also be buying Durran’s newest book so I would like to try Night Falls on the Wicked.
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:45:04
I’m going to throw my hat in the ring for Shadow Fall by Seressia Glass!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 22:48:21
They all look great, but Scarlett Nights looks really promising!
Jun 19, 2011 @ 23:27:15
WOuld love to read The Hour of Dust and Ashes!

I am impatiently waiting for Meredith Durans newest!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:12:51
So tough to choose!
I’m going to cross my fingers that I win the new Cindy Gerard “With No Remorse”.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:13:23
Even though I was disappointed by Gerard’s last novel, I really want to read her new one – With No Remorse.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:15:38
I’d love to win Dark Descendant by Jenna Black.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:18:54
I’m in for Meredith Duran…I agree she cannot write fast enough! If I had to make a second choice I think it would be Black Heart Loa…sounds interesting!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:34:10
ooh, A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran sounds great! and with a rec I’d love to read it:)
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:34:43
Ooh I’d be interested in Duran’s book as 1st choice, with Phoenix’s as a close 2nd, too.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 00:35:40
All look like great reads. I’d love to read either Scandal In Scotland by Karen Hawkins or Mystical Warrior by Janet Chapman. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thanks for another fantastic competition.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 03:55:37
Oh, lots of good titles coming out! I can’t decide between A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL by Meredith Duran and WITH NO REMORSE by Cindy Gerard as the one I’d like most…either would be awesome!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 04:05:53
I’d love a Lady’s Lesson or With No Remorse. I’ll even be in the States for the summer, making mailing easy. E-books work, too.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 04:09:04
I really want to read A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal, and it has such a pretty cover, too!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 05:27:14
I would like to read Shadow Fall by Seressia Glass.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 05:40:39
I was actually just looking at Stacey Jay’s “Dead on the Delta” yesterday…sounds like a great atmospheric story and a fun lead. Would be great to win a copy of it!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 05:42:12
I am really looking forward to A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 06:39:12

I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of Adrian’s Phoenix “Black Heart LOA” :D
Jun 20, 2011 @ 07:49:04
I am hooked on Nancy Gideon’s series – sort of Beauty and the Beast aspects. I am looking forward to reading Bound by Moonlight. Also really enjoy Meredith Duran so A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal sounds so good. Thanks for all the information because I believe that I would like to read Gena Showalter’s Dark Taste of Rapture.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 07:50:25
The “Scandal” books are my favorites: A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran or A Scandal in Scotland by Karen Hawkins. Thank you!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 07:55:16
So many good books. My choice would be Dark Descendant by Jenna Black.
Thanks for the chance!

Tangled! I really want to read that one!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:09:04
I’m most interested in reading A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:12:44
I would love to win the Kelly Gay or the Sharie Kohler book. Thank you.

Like many people here, I’m most looking forward to A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran. I really liked her first two books, but was underwhelmed by her last one, so am eager to see whether this one works for me or not.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:13:23
I would like KINDLING THE MOON Please- Thank You.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:24:13
Meredith Duran FTW!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:26:12
Woo – Hoo!!
Cindy Gerard’s WITH NO REMORSE is coming!! She is a fantastic story teller – can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:29:51
I have had Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett on my wishlist forever.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:32:55
Meredith Duran’s A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL has my vote. Her last book was one of my best reads of the year.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:36:31
This one’s a no-brainer for me – Meredith Duran’s A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal. Someone mentioned she doesn’t write fast enough – I second that sentiment – I have loved every one of her novels!
(And Meredith, write as slow as you like, I’ll buy them whenever they come out. :) )

Dark Taste of Rapture- Gena Showalter.
Love that series!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 08:59:28
Jude Deveraux’s Scarlet Nights sounds very interesting. Thanks for the opportunity to read it.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 09:05:08
Snapped by Laura Griffin or With No Remorse by Cindy Gerard – I am hooked on both these series! Thank you.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 09:22:16
I would like a copy of Shadow Fall by Seressia Glass if I were lucky enough to win. I really liked the first book in the series – Shadow Blade.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 09:34:06
I am looking forward to Meredith Duran’s latest.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 09:44:57
Oh my, so many choices. lol I love romance books and Jane, so A Wedding Wager by Jane Feather would be my first choice. There are several more I would love to read so I am adding them to my Wish list also. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this awesome giveaway.

This one is easy. A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 10:29:41
I really loved the first three books in Nancy Gideon’s series an am looking forward to the next three.
Shari Kohler’s Night falls on the Wicked sounds very good.
All these new releases sound great.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 10:50:27
Please enter me! I’m looking forward to Cindy Gerard’s With No Remorse. :)
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:16:21
A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal, please! I’m also intrigued by Scarlet Nights, and Lord of Shadows.
Thanks!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:17:07
I’M SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO MEREDITH DURAN’S A LADY’S LESSON IN SCANDAL!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:17:08
I pick High Country Bride by Linda Lael Miller. I love her books!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:21:16
I would love to win Dead on the Delta, because I loved Stacey Jay’s writing in The Locket! Plus, it sounds wicked! :D
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:33:33
I’d love to get Janet Chapman book :) Thanks
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:50:04
So many great books! I’d choose Black Heart Loa by Adrian Phoenix, the first book in the series was awesome so I imagine BHL will be just as good if not better!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 11:52:58
I kinda want to read them all (they shall be added to The List, which is far too long). If forced to choose I think Tangled sounds great, mainly because I love a strong, kick-ass female.

After much deliberation I have to opt for Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter as my choice of book I would most like to read :D
Jun 20, 2011 @ 12:25:14
I can’t wait for Black Heart Loa by Adrian Phoenix – have had it pre-ordered for what feels like years! LOL She can’t write fast enough for me.
I’ll also read anything by Gena Showalter – love her stuff as well.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 12:37:30
Wow! So many of the books sound wonderful. I am always interested in reading new authors. Kindling the Moon by Jenn Bennett, sounds like the one for me.
Jun 20, 2011 @ 12:39:16
I couldn’t pick just one so the following are the ones I’d love to read:
Dark Descendant by Jenna Black
Tangled by Jennifer Estep
Black Heart LOA by Adrian Phoenix
Night Falls on the Wicked by Sharie Kohler
They all sound amazing!
Jun 20, 2011 @ 12:40:32
