Description:
What kind of assassin works pro bono?
It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker-’Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Furious at his grandmother’s ultimatum to marry or lose his inheritance, Lord Jarret Sharpe wagers his luck-’and his heart-’at the card table against a most unlikely opponent.
Mired in scandal after his parents’ mysterious deaths, notorious gambler Lord Jarret Sharpe agrees to tamely run the family brewery for a year if his Machiavellian grandmother rescinds her ultimatum that he marry. But the gambler in him can’t resist when beguiling Annabel Lake proposes a wager. If she wins their card game, he must help save her family’s foundering brewery. But if he wins, she must spend a night in his bed. The outcome sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy all his plans . . . and unveils the secret Annabel has held for so long.

Description
New York Times bestselling sensation Gena Showalter enthralls with a dark, tantalizing world of humans, otherworlders, powers beyond imagining, and a seductive vampire undone by his insatiable hunger for one woman. . . .
Growing up poor on New Chicago’s meanest streets, Ava Sans had two options: be the predator or be the prey. No contest. Now, working for Alien Investigation and Removal, she’s been ordered to capture the biggest, baddest warrior of all-’a vampire too beautiful to be real, with the abilityto manipulate time. Once the leader of the entire vampire army, McKell has been deemed savage and unstable, spurned even by his own kind.
To McKell, humans should be nothing more than sustenance. Yet the petite, golden-skinned Ava is a fascinating contradiction-’vicious yet witty, strong yet vulnerable, lethal but fiercely loyal. Against his better judgment, McKell craves that loyalty, and much more. When the chase leads to seduction, McKell and Ava will race to discover the truth about his past. But the answers will come at a price, even for a woman who thought she had nothing left to lose. . . .

Description
In 1792, the village of Hadley Green executed a man for stealing the Countess of Ashwood’s historic jewels. Fifteen years later, questions still linger. Was it a crime of greed-’or of passion?
When Declan O’Connor, Earl of Donnelly, arrives at Hadley Green to meet with Lily Boudine, the new countess of Ashwood, he knows instantly that the lovely woman who welcomes him is not who she pretends to be. In an attempt to avoid an unwanted marriage, Keira Hannigan has assumed her cousin’s identity and is staying at the estate while Lily is abroad. When Declan threatens to expose her, Keira convinces him to guard her secret, then enlists him in her investigation of the missing jewels, for she now believes an innocent man was hanged.
Unable to deny the beautiful, exasperating Keira-’or their simmering passion-’Declan reluctantly agrees. But neither is prepared for the dangerous stranger who threatens to reveal Keira’s lies . . . and Declan knows he must protect Keira at all costs, for she is the woman who now owns his heart.

Sep 22, 2010 @ 06:37:40

Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:11:01
The Iron Duke–I’m intrigued by steampunk, but have yet to find a book in the genre that really grabbed me.
The Year Of Living Scandalously sounds like it has everything I like. Gotta love a Regency mystery.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:12:31
Definitely Sabrina Jeffries “Hellion in Her Bed”!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:13:30
It’s hard to pick just one. But I’m really looking forward to Alpha by Rachel Vincent. I want to know how everything ends.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:15:32
Definitely “The Iron Duke” by Meljean Brook. I can hardly wait.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:18:26
Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn (the 4th Julia Gray book).
I think that I will also have to add the Year of Living Scandalously to my ever-growing list.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:27:42
I LOVE Sabrina Jeffries and CAN’T WAIT to read the latest Hellion book!!! YEAH SABRINA!!!!!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:29:20
Hellion in her Bed. Love Sabrina Jeffries.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:35:52
I am also planning to read The Iron Duke, but now I’m adding A Hellion in her Bed because my husband is about to open a brewery, and that’s just too apropos.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:40:56

Bayou Moon, by Ilona Andrews. It’s getting out next week and I can’t to get my hands on it!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:52:25
Picking one book that I’m looking forward to is incredibly hard! I think I’ll go with Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews. I’ve glommed by way through the Miles Vorkosigan books in the last 6 weeks, so I’m also really looking forward to CryoBurn by Lois McMaster Bujold. See . . . I can’t mention just one book!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 07:59:37
I plan to read SNOW CRASH by Neil Stephenson this fall.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:03:18
There are so many books I am looking forward to many of which are mentioned in the previous comments. Can’t wait to get my hands on Nalini Singh’s Play of Passion, Nora Roberts’ Happily Ever After, and so many more.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:07:57
I plan to try Jeannie Lin’s Butterfly Swords when it comes out. I love that it’s set in China.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:21:42
So many choices. I am looking forward to the next JD Robb, Nalini Singh, and the final bridal quartet novel by Nora Roberts.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:22:23
I cannot wait to get my hands on the next Nalini Singh book and the next Maya Banks book in her new KGI series. The first book in the series was fantastic.
Debra
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:27:05
Play of Passion by Nalini Singh! Eagerly waiting for it!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:31:47
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold since I love Miles.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:34:04
I’m salivating to read Jennifer Estep’s VENOM. Gin Blanco is such an intriguing character. I can’t wait to see what she gets up to in this book.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:35:25
I’ve been anxiously awaiting Sin Undone and Nora Roberts last Bridal Quartet book.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:37:42
I cannot wait to read Inside Out by Lauren Dane – I love this series!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:41:07
Styx’s Storm by Lora Leigh – Breed books are my crack.
Nalini Singh’s Play of Passion – I love her Psy/Changeling series and can’t wait for this one. The excerpt on her website is awesome.
Of the books above – A Hellion in Her Bed has to be good since it is a Sabrina Jeffries.
The blurb for Ecstacy in Darkness by Gena Showalter sounds intriguing and I’m going to give it a try.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:42:50
Can’t wait to read Courtney Milan’s TRIAL BY DESIRE — she was crazy good with her first novel. Vibrating with the excitement.
Haven’t read Sabrina Jeffries, so I’d like to be up for that!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:52:06
“Play of Passion” by Nalini Singh.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:57:50
Looking forward to reading Hellion in Her Bed & 10 Ways to be Adored by a Lord. Mad About the Duke by Elizabeth Boyle is a fun read.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 08:59:20
Looking forward to both the Sabrina Jeffries and Julia London books but can’t wait for the first book in Lisa Kleypas’ contemporary series.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:00:09
I’ve got Sabrina Jeffries’ new one and Julia London’s new one on my TBR list. Also, I’m waiting (impatiently) for Nora Roberts’ last Bridal Quartet book to come out in December.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:12:30
I can’t wait for Inside Out by Lauren Dane.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:17:36
Venom by Jennifer Estep (which you’re giving away!!!) is my #1 most anticipated book right now. I can not wait to get my hands on it!! LOVE this series so much.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:18:02
Megan Hart’s, Selfish Is The Heart
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:21:54
Butterfly Swords, Trial by Desire, and Emma Wilde’s latest. The Sabrina Jeffries and Julia London titles both look interesting too.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:24:35
Definitely IRON DUKE by Meljean Brook, but I’m also looking forward to Nalini Singh’s next Psy-Changeling novel, as well as Gena Showalter’s next Lords of the Underworld book.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:27:57
No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:30:34
If I have to choose just one, from this fall, it definitely has to be The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook. Which has been mentioned a lot!
To pick something not yet mentioned: Grave Witch by Kaylana Price
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:30:59
Oh wow. I don’t spend a lot of time finding out what’s coming out, because I’m on a kick reading stuff that’s already out and I want to read all the classics I never read.
However, I’m really looking forward to Rick Riordan’s “The Lost Hero”. I really loved the Percy Jackson books. Also, “Life” by Keith Richards. Well, I think that speaks for itself.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:32:22
Venom by Jennifer Estep. I have the first 2 on my kobo. Excellent UF or… whatever you want to call it but set very much in today’s world with a twist so world building is easy to follow.
Her other series is silly and fun to read as well.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:34:18
One book I’ll be reading this Fall is Happily Ever After by Nora Roberts. One reason you should read it too, is that Ms. Roberts goes back to her writing roots – scripting a romance with no suspense or paranormal elements.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:34:32
I want to read A Hellion in Her Bed, definitely, and The Year of Living Scandalously, and that’s just the beginning of my list!
Margay
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:41:57
I’m really looking forward to Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold. It took me a while to get into the series as I tend to prefer fantasy to space opera type stories, but after falling in love with Bujold’s Chalion books I gave her Miles books another shot and found myself totally engrossed. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:45:27
It is hard to choose just one but “Hellion in Her Bed” looks great!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:45:55
Can’t wait until Sept. 28th. Double Cross, the sequel to Mind Games, by Carolyn Crane is out. Couldn’t put that one down. Am anxious for the next installment.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:51:31
The Iron Duke, but since that goes without saying :) I’ll add another. Masques by Patricia Briggs.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 09:53:11
I’m looking foward to reading The Best Laid Plans by Sarah Mayberry and While We’re Far Apart by Lynn N. Austin
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:03:05
Venom – I really liked the first two and can’t wait for this one!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:05:23
The Iron Duke is tops on my list, although I feel somewhat guilty for adding to the TBR Mountain. :-/
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:06:42
I plan on reading Ecstacy in Darkness. I love Gena Showalter with my entire heart!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:08:34
I plan to read Ecstasy in Darkness! Gena Showalter is an amazing writer! =)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:08:57
Venom – Totally addicted to that series
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:13:20
One book I plan on reading this fall is the Iron Duke by Meljean Brook. It looks like a really fantastic steampunk Romance.
I also plan on reading and finishing all of Gena Showalter’s books. I just started Lords of the Underworld and I’m hooked :)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:13:29
Ilona andrews’s bayou moon! love her books
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:18:31
Jeannie Lin’s Butterfly Swords is very very high on my list.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:19:08
Don’t enter me, since I’ve been lucky and won recently.
But I wanted to thank Jane, Dear Author and the publishers who do this. I love getting a peek at what’s coming out…and adding titles to my never-endling list.
So, thanks!
(And add me to the list that’s reading Play of Passion as soon as it comes out!)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:22:27
I have “Venom” by Jennifer Estep at the top of my list for this fall. Her books keeps you attention to the end of the book. Looks like a long night of reading for me. :-)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:22:47
i’ve been waiting for venom like nobody’s business! The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook has gotten me curious, and i need to catch up on zoe archer’s series as well….
so many books, so little time…sigh…
k_sunshine1977 at yahoo dot com
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:27:12
So many to choose from – I would say Venom — but its in my hot little hands right now — so the next book would be When Pleasure Rules by JK Beck (Julie Kenner)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:27:40
I’m looking forward to Blood Trinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love. I love Sherrilyn’s Dark Hunters series!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:30:17
A Hellion in Her Bed sounds good. I’m been on an historical romance kick lately. Stayed too late last night reading Not Quite A Husband by Sherry Thomas – so good!
Currently waiting to read The Spirit Rebellion, book 2 in the Spirit series by Rachel Aaron. Book 1, Spirit Thief comes out next week, book 2 comes out in October and #3 in December. Orbit sometimes does this with paperback series and I really like being able to read the whole thing at once.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:30:28
I am looking forward to reading Alpha by Rachel Vincent and Play of Passion by Nalini Singh.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:34:56

-Catching up on Kresley Cole’s Books!! Yum!! Gena totally got me hooked on her <3
You should read them all! <3
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:36:02
I recently read Mob Rules by Cameron Haley and thought it was a good debut featuring Dark UF more akin to the Ilona Andrews Magic series. It features a grey protagonist who’s ruthless and interesting to read.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:36:20
I’m planning on reading Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 10:44:00
I’m waiting on a few from Lauren Dane, Torment by Lauren Kate, Taken by Midnight just to name a few.

Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:08:49
I’ll be reading Taken By Midnight along with Ecstasy in Darkness.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:12:10
Sabrina Jeffries’A Hellion in Her Bed.
The cover is delicious!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:24:58

Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:29:22

Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:30:50
I’m on a back-list kick (I’ve been hunting up Jayne ann Krentz). But I too am awaiting the final Brides’ Quartet book by Nora Roberts.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:34:18
So many books…so little time…
I’ve been looking forward to Patricia Briggs’ Masques and Wolf’s Bane, both out this fall.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:35:54
I’m looking forward to NO PLACE TO RUN by Maya Banks. Book 2 in the KGI series. I really enjoyed the first one and can’t wait to get back in with the Kelly family.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:35:55
Hmmm. There are just so many books coming out this fall! I’d have to say Four Play by Maya Banks & Shayla Black. I hate Black’s Doomsday Brethren series but Wicked Ties was pretty good. As for Maya Banks, I’ve only read two novels by her so far but both of them were amazing. She is definitely my new favoite Erotic Romance author.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:39:13
Alpha by Rachel Vincent the final book in her Shifter series! I pre-ordered it months ago, I can’t wait for it to get here!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:40:31

I would love to have Venon by Jennifer estep, Blood Trinity by SK ANd Dianna Love, and Gena Showaltes too. I meet Dianna Love at Dragoncon and she is totally terrrific. Both my self and youngest son got tshirts with this book on it. I am going to be giving his away on my blog since it’s an xlarge and he’s a small/medium lol.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:42:57
Well, four of the books on my TBR list are the last four mentioned in this post! My TBR list is about five pages in excel, but I love series books, so I always have to write down the next ones. And I am also looking forward to Four Play. Been enticed by Shayla Black’s newsletters about that one for a while now-lol.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:44:01
Blood Trinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love.
I’m a huge Kenyon fan so I never miss one of her books. I’m very excited to read what this new series is gonna be like.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:44:44
A Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:44:57
Oh my goodness, The Iron Duke by Meljean. Cannot wait to read that.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:45:15
There are so many cant name all but am waiting on Hellion in her Bed and Year of Living Scandalously. Both Sabrina and Julia are two of my favorite authors.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:45:51
I’m going to read Ex Machina: Term Limits, the final graphic novel in a really awesome series which I discovered and devoured earlier this fall. It’s about a guy who gets superpowers, tries to be a superhero, mostly fails at that, but then prevents one of the planes from hitting the Twin Towers, and more or less as a direct result wins the election for mayor of New York City.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:46:17
I’m really excited about the Sabrina Jeffries book and Julia London. Oh, wait, and Nora Roberts’ final in the Bride Quartet!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:46:29
Chains of Fire by Christina Dodd
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:47:46
Year of Living Scandously by Julia London

I’m planning to read The Year of Living Scandalously by Julia London. I love her historical romances!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:52:59
I plan on reading them ALL!!! but especially Nora Roberts Bridal Quartet series, & Sherrilyn Kenyons Blood Trinity, & anything new by Linda Lael Miller.

Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:53:52
Linda Howard’s latest. It’s sitting on my desk waiting for the “right” time to pick it up. So far I haven’t felt it. :/
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:55:07
Really looking forward to the new Lara Adrian :)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:57:20
The Exile by Gabaldon and you should read it too as it will be a whole new way to look at a story that we already love.
And I have not yet read Sabrina Jeffries, although Hellion in Her Bed looks awesome and I do believe it’ll be a great place to start.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 11:58:13
I’m waiting for the last book in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 12:01:21

While I plan on reading all of these, and more, the one that I can’t wait to get my hands on is by an author that I have not had the pleasure of reading yet. The book is… Poisoned Kisses by Stephanie Draven.

Hellion In Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries sounds amazing! I’d love to win that one. :-) I plan to read J.R. Ward’s newest Crave, anything coming out by Christie Craig, definitely Taken By Midnight by Lara Adrian. Sex And the Single Earl by Vanessa Kelly, The Irish Warrior by Kris Kennedy. And I need to catch up on Karin Tabke’s Blood Sword Legacy series (loved the first book!).
Sep 22, 2010 @ 13:43:08
I will likely read them all but the first one will be: Year of Living Scandously
By Julia London
Sep 22, 2010 @ 13:43:29
The Year of Living Scandalously of course!! All of these look like great reads though!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 13:57:26
I would like to win A Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries! Thanks for the giveaway!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 13:57:53
I’m looking forward to reading the Goddesses books Hellion in Her Bed and The Year of Living Scandalously!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:00:42
Just wow. I can not believe how awful Simon & Schuster’s website is.
Are you honestly telling me they WANT to sell romance? Or maybe they decided it was cheaper & easier to have Dear Author do it for them, than to invest any time or money in promoting their own authors.
After a good 5 minutes of clicking around I found the romance category. Lets see the #3 suggestion was a Star Trek book, #6 was a western, and none of the authors highlighted in this blog post even appear in the top 10.
Apparently their serious business website has no place for the romances they publish. Not impressed Simon & Schuster, if you actually want my business you could at the very least act like it.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:13:35
I realize read the blurb for Julia London’s book that I’m a sucker for a secret identity story. Twenty years after my first viewing of “Twelfth Night,” and I finally figure it out!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:16:16
Year of Living Scandalously.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:18:17
ectasy in darkness. I’m going to read crave by J.R. Ward
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:19:48
@Missy Well, think of it this way, giveaways are the gateway drug to new books.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:22:20
Year of Living Scandously, Hellion in her Bed and I can not wait for the continuation of the Deadly Series by Brenda Joyce, LOVE that series and hated when she ended it! Just read a new novel for this series will be out in 2011
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:22:26
“A Hellion in Her Bed” for sure and then “Year of Living Scandalously”. I’ve heard good things about “Venom” and may check it out, too.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:34:00
I’m looking forward to Stephanie Tyler’s “Lie With Me.”
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:37:51
I’m really anticipating Play of Passion by Nalini Singh.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:38:09
I can’t wait to read Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews! Thanks for offering this contest :-)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:44:14
I’ve just read Venom and suggest that everyone pick up this series.
Right now those Sherrilyn Kenyon and Gena Showalter books look like 2 I’d love to read for the fall! No, I can never pick just one. It’s like pistachios… :)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:44:51
We, of course, can’t wait for ALL of these titles! ;)
Scanning along all your wonderful comments though, we noticed comment number 151 in particular, and wanted to just let Missy know that Simon and Schuster is very, very dedicated to their romance audience. As they should be! S&S is so dedicated, in fact, that this past summer we launched Pocket After Dark, a social networking book club EXCLUSIVELY for romance and urban fantasy readers.
Pocket After Dark is a place for readers, editors, and authors to interact–post blogs/videos/pictures, rate books, particpate in message boards, take polls, AND read exclusive author-created content! We also give our members (it’s free to sign-up!) sneak peeks of our upcoming books! Sometimes, you get a free chapter, sometimes two, and sometimes, you can read an entire e-book for free to see if you’ve found your new favorite author in one of our wonderful storytellers.
So, be sure to check it out and watch for your most-coveted fall read to appear! Right now, you can already read two free chapters of Jeffries’ HELLION IN HER BED!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:50:40
Play of Passion, definitely. It’s already pre-ordered and I can’t wait to get my hands on this book.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:51:00
Any books by Linda Lael Miller or Nora Roberts or Julia London. Basically whatever I pick up; I read all of the time.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:53:55
Don’t enter me, I was lucky enough to win recently. Just wanted to echo a big Thanks to Jane for doing this in conjunction with the publisher(s).
I plan to read Meljean Brook’s The Iron Duke and Nalini Singh’s Play of Passion
Sep 22, 2010 @ 14:56:21
No Place to Run…the next in Maya Banks KGI series…plus there are several others i will be reading before
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:03:51
There are actually quite a few books I’m looking forward to (many of them listed here), but at the moment I’m most excited about Courtney Milan’s Trail by Desire and Celeste Bradley’s Scoundrel of my Dreams. Both are coming out Tuesday, the same day I’m leaving on vacation. Yes! Books to read on the ride down to FL! Just what I love.
Also, one book I’m looking forward to that I DON’T see listed is Anne Gracie’s Accidental Wedding.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:10:13
It has been said before, Deanna Raybourn’s latest. Because, really, how can you not.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:12:59
I’m really looking forward to Jennifer Estep’s Venom, one of the books on this list.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:21:07
Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews :)
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:24:59
I’m going to be unoriginal and say “Iron Duke” as well – I’ve heard so many good things about it!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:32:37
I cannot wait for ALPHA from Rachel Vincent. I have been awaiting this release all summer! I have also been waiting for Ecstasy in Darkness since I love Gena Showalter’s books.
You should try The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. I just finished it and it was a great read.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:35:23
I actually plan on reading Ecstasy in Darkness by Gena Showalter this fall. I’ve been waiting for it for what seems like forever. You should read it, too, because Gena never disappoints!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:38:52
I’m looking foward to The Best of Friends by Susan Mallery and Call Me Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber. There are many more on my to buy list!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:45:40
It’s hard to pick just one since there are a lot of good titles coming out soon, but I would have to say “Cryoburn” by Lois Bujold — I have been waiting for years for the next Miles book.
I am also looking forward to “Dark Road to Darjeeling” Deanna Raybourn, “Happy Ever After” Nora Roberts, “Indulgence in Death” JD Robb, and “Masques” Patricia Briggs.
Thanks for the giveaway
Lynn
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:46:07
From this list I cant wait for Venom. Loved the first two.
From other upcoming releases. I cant wait for When Pleasure Rules by JK Beck. Its a interesting alternate world she started and I cant wait to read more.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:50:37
Nora Roberts fourth book to the bride quartet, Christina Dodd Chains of Fire, Julia London Year of living scandously and Teresa medeiros Devil wears plaid, Susan Sizemore Primal Instinct
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:51:48
“Bayou Moon” by Ilona Andrews. I’ve been eagerly anticipating it for nearly a year now, and it’s finally out next week!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:55:17
Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries, also whatever Linda Lael Miller, Diana Palmer and Lori Foster has coming out. In other words LOTS!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:56:11
I CAN’T WAIT FOR HELLION IN HER BED…I TRY TO READ EVERYTHING I CAN GET MY HANDS ON….
Sep 22, 2010 @ 15:57:04
I’m really looking forward to the new Lisa Kleypas contemporary…Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor. Can’t wait!
Thanks for this opportunity!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:03:40
I am planning on reading LOTS of books this fall, there are some great ones that come out!! My most anticipated are: The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook, Play for Passion by Nalini Singh, and Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:06:58
The size of my TBR pile is nothing short of embarrassing, but I’m really looking forward to the new releases by Madeline Hunter and Liz Carlyle (even if Carlyle is introducing paranormal elements, which I’m not normally into). A Hellion in Her Bed will have to be added to the list, though – my mother found out when she was researching our ancestors in England that one branch of the family ran a brewery for generations!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:07:01
I’m waiting for Madeline Hunter’s third book in the Rarest Blooms series, “Sinful in Satin” to arrive in my Kindle from my pre-order. In the meantime I”m finishing up Julia Quinn’s Bevelstoke series with “10 Things I Like About You”.
Would love to read “Year of Living Dangerously” or “A Hellion In Her Bed”.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:09:24
Ugh, “Year of Living Scandalously” … “Year of Living Dangerously” used to be one of my favorite movies until Mel Gibson went all Tom Cruise crazy!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:14:35
I am planning on reading the new Liz Carlyle book, One Touch of Scandal… and whatever else you guys review that looks really good.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:17:59
Definitely the Iron Duke by Meljean Brook and Ecstascy in Darkness by Gena Showalter. With the way things have been going….fingers crossed that I get a chance to win it. Need some more Gena in my life :D
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:24:32
@Pocket After Dark:
Then you should have linked these back to The Pocket After Dark site. And have a link on the main S&S site to take me there.
Thank you for paying attention to my comment.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:27:18
I’m so looking forward to Venom. Have read both Spiders Bite and Web of Lies so counting down the days :)
Will have to look at Blood Trinity now too.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:33:42
Blood Trinity & Venom both on my reading list!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:34:50
A couple on this list, one of which is A Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:55:27
Like many who posted before me, I’m ready to read Venom right now! Loved the others. And I’ll give Blood Trinity a try, and certainly read the new Showalter. I’ll be tactful and not list other publisher’s books that I’m squeeing for.
You wanted us to mention ONE book we’re excited about? Don’t be silly…
Sep 22, 2010 @ 16:58:39
I can’t wait for Nalini Singh’s Play of Passion and Meljean Brook’s The Iron Duke.
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:07:54
Well…after reading these posts, my reading list has now grown quite a bit! But the book at the top of my list to get my hands on and read is Incredible Dreams by Sandra Edwards. I love time travel romance!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:11:57
I would LOVE to win a copy of….. Year of Living Scandously
By Julia London
BUT, if I don’t win it, i will buy it. LOL
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:15:12
Definitely a Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:22:37
Definitely The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook. Wasn’t too excited until I read Here There Be Monsters and now I’m counting down the days until it’s released! CAN’T wait!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:47:07
Play of Passion by Nalini Singh definitely. That series rocks!
Sep 22, 2010 @ 17:50:30
I would love to read all of the books shown. My TBR list is extraordinary long. But I suppose that makes me a book lover :)
