Shauna Summers, Senior Editor for Bantam/Ballantine, wanted to share with the Dear Author readers a bit about their fall line up. We thought it would be fun to give away a copy of the book that preceded the upcoming release. For every paper book giveaway, I’m going to giveaway an ecopy of the book via Fictionwise (because they are the only store that allows me to gift a particular book). Just drop a note in the comments to let us know what two books you would like. Every winner will receive two copies of a book. Go forth and comment.
****
DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning (on sale 8/18). This is the fourth book in the Fever series following FAEFEVER, which just went on sale. That book ended with a big cliffhanger, so I think (and when I say I think, I mean I know) Karen’s fans will be clamoring for this next installment. And boy does it deliver! It’s been such a satisfying experience working with Karen on this series, especially since the books are so great and are performing so well. It’s been fascinating and inspiring to watch her go to a whole new level as a writer and as a storyteller. Also, I have complete confidence in Karen as far as where she’s going with the story. But I’m not saying anything else about the book–you just have to read it. And while it’s better to have read the previous three books, we’ve had fresh readers start here and they’ve loved it too…
We will give away 3 copies of DREAMFEVER.
ICE by Linda Howard (on sale 11/10). What could be better than a Christmas novella from Linda Howard? ICE will be a smaller trim hardcover, on sale just in time for the holidays. And it’s Linda doing what she does best–a man and a woman trapped in a cabin amidst an ice storm with plenty of bad guys running around.
We will give away 3 copies of BURN.
A PRECIOUS JEWEL by Mary Balogh (on sale 11/24). We’ve had a great year with Mary Balogh and her Huxtable family series. And our re-issues of her out of print Regencies always do very nicely. But this book is extra special. I think it’s one of Mary’s most beloved and sought-after backlist titles and also one of her most unique and, dare I say, cutting edge stories. The heroine is a prostitute and the hero is one of her clients. Mary says this book poured out of her and she then put it on the shelf, convinced that her publisher (Signet at the time) would never go for it. When she finally sent it in, they published it with no questions or even revision. I hear other writers talk about this book, and it shows up on lists of favorite romances regularly, so it will be great to have it widely available again. Trust me, you will never forget it.
We will give away 3 copies of The Ideal Wife.
HOT AS SIN by Bella Andre (on sale 10/27). This is our second book with Bella Andre, following WILD HEAT which we published earlier this year. I’m really excited about Bella and this series. It’s romantic suspense about wildlife firefighters, which means great alpha heroes and very sexy romance with a lot of emotion. While this book definitely still has suspense and a very fast pace, it also plays to Bella’s strengths of character development and relationships, which she will focus on even more in the third book in the series, NEVER TOO HOT, which comes out in Summer 2010.
We will give away three copies of HOT AS SIN.
SURRENDER OF A SIREN (on sale 8/25) and A LADY OF PERSUASION (on sale 9/29) by Tessa Dare. We are really excited about Tessa Dare and think she is going to be a huge star. Her first book, GODDESS OF THE HUNT, is on sale now and we are publishing the next two books quick on its heels in consecutive months. She’s received starred reviews in PW and Library Journal, and there already seems to be a lot of buzz about her. She writes great alpha heroes and just delicious historical romance, the kind that is my go-to reading when I want something I know will deliver for me. We have more books coming from this author in 2010, so this is only the beginning…
We will giveaway three copies of GODDESS OF THE HUNT.
HARD TO HOLD by Stephanie Tyler (on sale 11/24). This is the first book in a debut trilogy that we will be publishing back to back into early 2010. What I love best about Stephanie’s books is the characters and the emotion and intensity she creates within the relationships. These are juicy, fast-paced, high-action reads about three adopted brothers, all of them Navy SEALs. The natural comparison is Suzanne Brockmann or Cherry Adair, but they also make me think of Nora Roberts’ Chesapeake Bay series. Obviously the romance is the focus of the book, but the relationship among these brothers is really the heart of the series. I dare you not to fall in love with these guys. One more thing, Stephanie is half of the team behind Sydney Croft (Larissa Ione is the other half), writing paranormal erotic romance. If you haven’t checked those books out, I highly recommend…
STRANGER’S KISS by Mary Blayney (on sale 8/25). We published Mary’s first two books of this series featuring the Pennistan family in one volume last fall with TRAITOR’S KISS/LOVER’S KISS. Some readers might also be familiar with Mary’s novellas in the J.D. Robb anthologies. I really love this series. Mary writes a more gentle romance while still delivering all of the emotion, character development, and compelling storytelling that readers always want and expect from great romance. So if you’re needing a break from all the ultra sexy, super hot romances out there, Mary is the author for you! We have another book called COURTESAN’S KISS coming from this wonderful author in Summer 2010.
We are giving away 3 copies of TRAITOR’S KISS/LOVER’S KISS (which is like 6 books because these are two full length books in one).
A WICKED LORD AT THE WEDDING (on sale 9/29) and THE WICKED DUKE TAKES A WIFE (on sale 10/27). by Jillian Hunter And speaking of great historical romance… Jillian Hunter is known for her very sexy and emotional stories with wonderfully dark, brooding heroes. These books feature the much beloved Boscastle family who have appeared in all of Jillian’s titles for us, and we’re publishing them back to back.
We are giving away 3 copies of WICKED AS SIN
SOUL MAGIC (on sale 10/27) by Jennifer Lyon. This is our second book with newcomer Jennifer Lyon following BLOOD MAGIC which we published earlier this year. Jennifer delivers great paranormal romance that will satisfy fans of J.R. Ward, Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole, and Lara Adrian. The heroes are the very definition of alpha and there’s great world building and star-crossed conflict. Here’s a little set up for you: In the days when powerful witches used their magic to shield humanity from demons, their allies and guardians were a group of men gifted with preternatural abilities of their own–the witch guardians. But when a band of witches traded their humanity for demonic power, the ancient bond was broken, and the guardians became the hunters…
We are giving away three copies of BLOOD MAGIC.
SET THE DARK ON FIRE (on sale 8/25) by Jill Sorenson. Here’s what I love about Jill’s books–they’re the kind of old school romantic suspense that I don’t see a lot of these days, sort of like early Tami Hoag. Her writing and characters are a little gritty and edgy but there’s a lot of emotion and intensity, making for a very satisfying romance. The characters are very real-life rather than larger-than-life, and she has great secondary characters, particularly teenagers, which take the books to another level for me. Also, this is a stand-alone story, which we don’t see a lot of these days, and while I love series, it’s kind of nice to read a book that is completely its own thing. So if you’re wanting something a little different than the usual high-action, black ops romantic suspense, give Jill a try.
We are giving away three copies of SET THE DARK ON FIRE.
Oooo, I would love to get my hands on the Howard and the Lyon book. Awesome giveaway, Jane!
I would love to give Dreamfever or Burn a read. Great giveaway!
Oooo…love the books you have up!
I’d love Surrender of a Siren because Tessa Dare’s Goddess of the Hunt rocked, and Soul Magic because JR Ward and Kresley Cole are favorites so I’m thinking it would be perfect late summer reading.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Theresa
I’d love to win Hot As Sin and Surrender Of a Siren!
Great giveaway and a wonderful idea to do ebooks of the author’s previous titles!
I’d like Dreamfever and Set the Dark on Fire, please! :)

I would have to choose Bella Andre’s book and Linda Howard’s!
Thanks!!!
Since I’m into Romantic Suspense right now I would love to get a peek at the Jill Sorenson and Stephanie Tyler books. Please. And thank you:)
This is great! It would be great to have the Moning and Dare books.
Thanks!!
Hi :)
So many great books coming out.
I already bought GOTH by Tessa Dare.
I am confused about the giveaway. Three copies of the books being blurbed one to each winning commentor?
I would leave it up to Jane as to which book(s) to give me if I win.
I’m just glad to be here :)
Love and hugs,

xoxo
I would love any books! Thanks for the opportunity!
It was hard to pick just two but my choices are – Set the Dark on Fire by Jill Sorenson and Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler.
If I could, I would love to receive 1. Set the Dark on Fire by Jill Sorenson because I love in RS where I can feel that the charecters have a real emotional connection and not just the gritty suspense where you only feel they’re together because of the situation they’re in. I’d also love Stranger’s Kiss by Mary Blayney for the same thing. I love emotional intensity.
Thanks for doing this.
I would love to win a copy of the Linda Howard and Stephanie Tyler books. Thanks!!
Great books. My choices would be:
Stephanie Tyler’s Hard to Hold
Jennifer Lyon’s Soul Magic
Thank you for the giveaway.

I would like the chance to receive a copy of Dreamfever and Blood Magic please. This is a awesome contest.
I have the fabulous debut by romance goddess Tessa Dare, and Bella Andre’s debut is in my TBR pile! I adore reading debut authors and would love Jennifer Lyon’s first book. I’m not sure if you’re giving away the Stephanie Tyler debut (as there are no previous books), but I’d love to get my hands on that one too!
I’d like Dreamfever, because I’ve been waiting for the next part of Mac’s story. And I’d like to try Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler because the description and comparisons sound good and I like to try new-to-me authors when given a chance in a contest. :)
Thanks to Shauna Summers and Jane for the opportunity to win!
Patrice
I would love Hot As Sin and Set The Dark On Fire. Those would be new authors for me.

Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to win Goddess of the Hunt and Set the Dark on Fire.

Great contest you have here. I would love to try something new so I’d like Jill Sorenson’s and Stephanie Tyler’s book.
Thanks for this opportunity.
Please, please pick me! I’d love to read A Precious Jewel and Soul Magic! Hooray. : )
I would love A Precious Jewel by Mary Balogh and Stranger’s Kiss by Mary Blayney. Two Marys that I have read and enjoyed.
Giveaways rock! I’m a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning, so Dreamfever is a MUST. And Blood Magic sounds promising.
Thanks for the opp!
The Hunter and the Blayney for me please. :) I haven’t read either, but I was intrigued by the idea of juxtaposing ‘more gentle (sic) and emotional’ with ‘very sexy and emotional’.
There are some awesome books in there. But I have heard good things about Tessa dare so would love to try her, and Stranger’s Kiss by Mary Blayney
Hands down Soul Magic by Jennifer Lyon and Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler. What a great giveaway.
I would love to have Stephanie Tyler and Linda Howard. In eBook please!!!
I have been waiting for Stephanie’s new book. I am really looking forward to it.
They all look great! I’m going with Dreamfever and Soul Magic!
I would like to continue my journey with Dreamfever and start a new one with Blood Magic.
DREAMFEVER- I love this series.
Soul Magic – I have eagerly waited this sequel.
I would love to read the books by Hunter and Blayney!
I would love a chance to win Hard To Hold by Stephanie Tyler the first book in her her series and Hot As Sin by Bella Andre.
A big thank you Dear Author and Bantam/Ballantine for a chance to win these books.
I would like a chance to win Goddess of the Hunt & Dreamfever.
I have to go with Dreamfever because I’ve been re-reading the previous books and my anticipation for the new one is KILLING ME.
For the second, the Sorenson one sounds great and I could use a stand alone story. I’m obviously up to my ears with continuation stories with the Moning one alone.
Tessa Dare & Jill Sorenson!
Thankyou! :D
Definitely and without a doubt: Hot as Sin (Bella Andre) and Hard To Hold (Stephanie Tyler)
I love it when you feature a collection of new books. And I would also love to win a couple of them! If my name is pulled from the hat I would like HOT AS SIN by Bella Andre and SET THE DARK ON FIRE by Jill Sorenson. Thanks!
Wow – what a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for sponsoring this.
I’d love A Wicked Lord at the Wedding – love those Boscastles!
And Set the Dark on Fire – I loved Sorenson’s first book and can’t wait to read the next.
I’d love either Hard to Hold or Set the Dark on Fire
[...] head over to Dear Author and comment for a chance to win some of Bantam and Ballantine’s upcoming releases! My [...]
I would love the Linda Howard and Jillian Hunter.
Ice by Linda Howard & Set the Dark On Fire by Jill Sorenson! Never read Jill, but she sounds amazing! I’ve been a Linda Howard fan for years. :-)
I would love to win Tessa Dare’s Surrender of A Siren and KMM’s Faefever.
The first because she is a new favorite, the second because I have been a fan since her first book and still am!
Oh, and if anyone haven’t read Mary Balogh’s A Precious Jewel, do! It’s one of my Balogh favorite.
Hot As Sin (Bella Andre) and A Stranger’s Kiss (Mary Blaney)
Great contest and some great books.
Soul Magic and Hard to Hold.
Love to win the Balogh (who I just discovered a couple of weeks ago and am blazing my way through her books) and “Goddess of the Hunt”
Stephanie Tyler and Bella Andre are new authors to me so I would love to read their books.
Thanks Bantam/Ballantine! :)
Good line up! I’d like to win e-books, because I have Been Converted. I would likely give the paper book away, so maybe you could split the win if I was chosen? Or I could find it a good home!
I’d like to try Tessa Dare, so Goddess of The Hunt would rock.
I’s also like to try Jill Sorenson, so Set The Dark On Fire would be cool.
OMG.. good books.. so hard to pick..
OK..
Deamfever by KMM & Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
Thank you so much for the chance to win these… crossing my fingers & my toes..
I’d have to say GODDESS OF THE HUNT and HARD TO HOLD would be my choices. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Tessa Dare and want to ck her out. And I’m a sucker for books with strong relationships between siblings (the Chesapeake series is one of my all time favorite examples of this.) Those would be the winners I’d want from this group.
I would love DreamFever and Set the Dark on Fire!
So many excellent choices but I would have to say the books by Linda Howard and Stephanie Tyler would be my choice
Thanks for this great giveaway!
Because it’s quite difficult to get my hands on any of these books in Germany, I’d like to win Dreamfever and Blood Magic.
I was addicted to KMM right from the beginning and waited one year to learn what really happens to Mac after the exciting but also depressing cliffhanger.
My second choice is made, because I ALWAYS like to discover new authors and Blood Magic sounds just like a book I’d love… :)!
I would love to get my hands on Hot as Sin or Dreamfever. I love Bella Andre. :-)
The other books look pretty good too.
Wow! Great books! I’d love to have A WICKED LORD AT THE WEDDING and THE WICKED DUKE TAKES A WIFE. :-)
I don’t think I have a chance of winning with all these other entries, BUT! here goes!
I’d love to read Goddess of the Hunt and Dreamfever.

Hmmmm… it’s so hard to choose when there are so many good books!
I love Karen Marie Moning, so I’ve got to have DREAMFEVER; and I’ve heard the buzz about Jennifer Lyon’s SOUL MAGIC.
This Fall’s going to be so warm & cozy – long, lazy evenings with a good book – Perfect!
I think all of them look interesting. So I’m easy :) I’ll take any of the above
Either SET THE DARK ON FIRE or HOT AS SIN would be awesome.
Raises hand for Linda Howard’s ICE and Tessa Dare’s SURRENDER OF A SIREN
DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning
ICE by Linda Howard
Two of my all time favorite authors – how could I miss an opportunity to drop my name in the hat.
Would love to have the Linda Howard (love her cabin romances) and the Tessa Dare.
Surrender of a Siren & Set The Dark on Fire. I’ve read two of Jill’s books, the first I did like. The second Crash Into Me… I wanted to like it. There were parts I did like, but there were just a couple of really annoying things that killed it for me. But I would really like to give her another shot. I think she could be a favorite…
I would love to read
Bella Andre – Hot As Sin
Jill Sorenson – Set the Dark on Fire
Wow! What an awesome contest!! I would love Hard to Hold and Hot as Sin.

Amy M

In honor of Save the Contemp, I’d love to read Hot as Sin.
I think Blood Magic sounds interesting as well.

DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning and SOUL MAGIC by Jennifer Lyon would be absolutely awesome to win!
I would love to get my hands on Soul Magic and Hard to Hold. I thought Ms. Lyon’s first book was awesome!
What a great and generous contest – so hard to choose! But I finally decided on Blood Magic by Jennifer Lyon and The Ideal Wife by Mary Balogh. And thank you for the chance to have these books.
I am interested in the Linda Howard or Mary Blayney.
Great post! It seems I have lots of new-to-me authors to try out. I’d love to get Blood Magic and Dreamfever. Thanks!
I definitely want Dreamfever after the ending in the last book, and also Tessa Dare’s second book.
Ice by Linda Howard and Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler are my 2 choices.

In the event those are taken – The Bella Andre looks good too and I have the Tessa Dare on my wishlist at BOB…
awesome giveaway – thanks DA!
I would love to win either Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler or Hot as Sin by Belle Andre.
Thanks for offering such a great contest.
Erm.. unless I’m missing something, how many copies of Stephanie Tyler’s Hard To Hold are available for giveaway? Nevertheless, thats my number one choice. I’ve been madly excited since I heard about the trilogy. Stephanie Tyler is one of my favourite HQ Blaze authors.
Next is a toss up between Linda Howard or Tessa Dare or Bella Andre. *sigh* So hard to choose. I want Linda Howard, been curious of Tessa Dare and my friend is pushing me to start reading Bella Andre.
I would love Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning.
This is a fantastic contest/giveaway! Thanks Dear Author!
Great line up of books!
I’m most interested in Jill Sorenson’s Set the Dark on Fire and Karen Marie Moning’s Dreamfever. ::fingers crossed::
Thanks!
Awesome giveaway! I’d love Dreamfever and Surrender of a Siren if I were lucky enough to win.
I must love regency set historicals because Tessa Dare’s Goddess of the Hunt is on my must get my hands on list and I am highly interested in The Perfect Jewel.
I would love the Karen Marie Moning and Linda Howard books. Thanks so much for hosting the contest—I hope I win! :)
HOT AS SIN by Bella Andre & HARD TO HOLD by Stephanie Tyler are the two books that makes me very curious and look forward to trying them out.
I’d love to win Hot as Sin or Hard to Hold! Thanks for the information about the upcoming releases :-)
OMG, a Linda Howard giveaway???
I’d do just about anything for a prerelease of Ice!!
And dying to read Stephanie Tyler’s Hard To Hold~~what an awesome contest!!!
Oooh, great giveaway! Do we really have to choose just two??
Hmmm, I think I’d like to go for the Tessa Dare and Stephanie Tyler books please!
They all sound so good… regardless of whether I win or not, my TBR pile just grew. A lot. Darn it, now I’ll never be able to finish it!
I’d be interested in the Mary Balyney and the Karen Marie Moning – they sound fantastic. I’d be willing to bet almost anything that within the next few days I’ll be ordering a copy of the first book in the Fever series… *sigh* I really need to learn some self-control here.
Thanks for the info on the upcoming releases! It’s nice to see what kind of books I can look forward to.
Just like Lynz, regardless of whether or not I win anything at all, my already impossibly large TBR is now larger. Having said that, it was difficult to choose just two books. And I can automatically rule out Dreamfever, because I pre-ordered a copy and it’s on its way to me. So…
Blood Magic and Goddess of the Hunt are my choices :D
[...] Dear Author’s giving away an assortment of Bantam titles – head on over and check out the details. [...]
Hot as SIn and Set The Dark on Fire sound pretty fab. I am officially on a contemp kick lately.
Ooooh, my picks are the books by Karen Marie Moning and Jennifer Lyon.
Thanks for having this contest! I’ve been counting down the days to the release of Dreamfever and would love love love to win a copy! This series is my current book crack, please help me feed my addiction? lol. 2nd book choice… Blood Magic.
Linda Howard’s BURN interests me, that’s a given.
As for the second book… as I already have a few of those to be given away (The Ideal Wife, Goddess of the Hunt) and have no strong preferences over the rest…sooo… should I win, you can surprise me with a choice from Tyler, Bayney, Hunter, Lyon or Sorenson. I’d be happy with any of them.
Thank you very much for the book giveaways.I would like “Dreamfever” by Karen Marie Moning.It toke me awhile to get used to her new suspense/paranormal series after reading her romance-laced highlander series but i’m really starting to enjoy them now.As for my second choice,it would have to be “Hot as Sin” by Bella Andre.I’ve only read one of her books (Take Me) and am really looking forward to trying out another.
I’d love,love, love to get the Howard book and Dreamfever would be a nice consolation.
Sandi
Wow they all look great but I’d would especially love to get my paws on the Mary Balogh or the Tessa Dare!
Well I vote for the Linda Howard and the Tessa Dare books. Both made me curious and LH is an autobuy author :-)
Great contest, I like the look of a few of them but Linda Howard and Bella Andre are my picks please.
Can I be entered for The Ideal Wife and GODDESS OF THE HUNT, please. Thanks!! Great contest!
Ice and A Wicked Lord at the Wedding, please.
Oooh, I’m interested in Ice by Linda Howard and Surrender of A Siren by Tessa Dare.
My choices are:
The Ideal Wife by Mary Balogh
Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler
It’s hard for me to go past the Tessa Dare and the Mary balogh!
I’d pick the Jennifer Lyon book and the Bella Andre book. Hard choice. They all look good. Great contest!
Thanks for this opportunity!
I’d love to try Soul Magic and Dreamfever :-)
STRANGER’S KISS by Mary Blayney & DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning pretty please :3
So many great books! I’d love to read Hot as Sin by Bella Andre (love her stuff) and Moning’s Dreamfever (since I’m a fan of that series.
Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
HOT AS SIN has me hooked with just the cover! SET THE DARK ON FIRE sounds just up my alley as well. Thanks for the contest!
Ms. Summers’ comments make me want to buy Stephanie Tyler’s book right away. I would also love to read Tessa Dare.
I would love to win DreamFever, and Hard To Hold.
Thanks for another great giveaway!
Linda Howard and Tessa Dare please, thanks for a great giveaway!
Ooo, ooo! Put me down for HARD TO HOLD and SET THE DARK ON FIRE. Pretty please?
TNX to both DA & Bantam/Ballantine for holding this contest.
I’m salivating for Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning and I would love Tessa Dare’s book. Thank you for the chance to win!
Ice or Hard to Hold.
Definitely not interested in the Moning book — she needs to go back to the Highlanders. Couldn’t believe it when she ended the 3rd Fever book with the heroine being gang raped — I returned the book to the bookstore for a refund.
I would like ICE by Linda Howard and HOT AS SIN by Bella Andre.
OOoh! I’d love Bella Andre and Jillian Hunter’s book. =)
I don’t know the work of any of these authors so my picks are “surprise me” and “how cool is this.” Thank you for another great giveaway, Jane.
Blood Magic and Wicked as Sin are both on my to read list but I don’t have either.
All the forthcoming books look great. Definitely have to check them out.
Dreamfever I have been waiting for you!!!!
The ending of book 3 was shocking and I can’t wait to see how it is dealt with in book 4. Karen really kicked it up a noche when she wrote this series!
I would love to have Dreamfever and Soul Magic. Love the first series and have the first one of soul magic series in my tbr pile. would be good incentive for me to dig it out.
Two?? Jeepers that is tough. I’ll have to go with Wildfire Firefighters – that should be good & dangerous and Hot as Sin. And…. some Navy Seals – with Hard to Hold because I’ve been on a kick of this kind of genre. Although Set the Dark on Fire is intriguing too….
I would like Mary Blayney’s and Jill Sorenson’s books. Great giveaway
SURRENDER OF A SIREN and A LADY OF PERSUASION by Tessa Dare. I would love to try her books.
I’d love to have Surrender of a Siren and Stranger’s Kiss (I already have Dreamfever on preorder)!
Thanks to all for the fabulous giveaway! :)
My choices are:
Ice by Linda Howard
Soul Magic by Jennifer Lyon
Wild Heat was fabulous, so I’d love to get my hands on Hot as Sin. And hot SEAL heroes are my weakness–Hard to Hold, please!!!
Goddess of the Hunt! And Traitor’s Kiss/Lover’s Kiss! Those would be my choices. Already got my copy of Dreamfever and am waiting for the weekend to dive into it. :)
Great contest! What a way to wrap up the summer.
Would love to try out Tessa Dare – the buzz is so good about her work. Second choice would be the Tyler. The prospect of a story that’s “Brockmann meets Roberts” is a tantalizing prospect.
Thanks again for the chance to win.
I’d love to read Stephanie Tyler and Bella Andre!
I would be most interested in the Tessa Dare and the Jillian Hunter. They are two authors I have not read.
Oh, both the Tessa Dare’s, I’d like, or the rs ICe.
Thank you so much for this opportunity
Viv

And even more authors to add to my “must read” list. I would love to own “Hard to Hold” and “Set the Dark on Fire”.

Katherine
Oooo-I’m in a romantic suspense mood these days: how about Stephanie Tyler and Jill Sorenson?

1. Set the Dark on Fire by Jill Sorensen
2. Hard to Hold by Stephanie Tyler
I already have SOUL MAGIC and absolutely adore this book! I can’t wait to get the second and third installments. I’d still love to win it so I can pass it along to a friends to share the goodness. I’ve never read Jill Sorensen but her SET THE DARK ON FIRE looks intriguing!

Hi Jane,
I am dying to get my hands on DREAMFEVER.
I want to know what happens to Mac.
Please please pick me :)
Thanks for the contest! I get so many of my books through DA reviews, and that’s why I would really enjoy reading the Dare novel. After looking through DA and Amazon, since the Tyler book and Balogh’s A Precious Jewel book aren’t in the giveaway, Bella Andre’s would be my #2 to hope for.
I would like Hot as Sin because it’s a great title, and Stranger’s Kiss because I’m on the lookout for a great historical.
I would like Surrender of a Siren by Tessa Dare & a Wicked lord at the wedding by Jill Hunter!!! Thank you, hopefully!
Dream Fever
Set the Dark on Fire
