April 2011
ETERNAL KISS by Laura Wright
We’ve been excited about the Mark of the Vampire series ever since we first read it on submission. Whether you’ve read heaps of vampire romance already or are just coming to the subgenre, this series will have you falling in love with dangerous vampire heroes and their True Mates. But don’t take our word for it: New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh calls the books “Dark, delicious and sinfully good.”
Nicholas Roman will do anything to stop the Eternal Order of Vampires from controlling his life and using other males from his bloodline–including the son he just discovered may exist–for their vicious reign. Only a beautiful vampire stranger can help him. But what are her true motives?
VOWED IN SHADOWS by Jessa Slade
The war between good and evil has raged for millennia, with the Marked Souls caught in the middle. Now two lost souls will tip the precarious balance…
Hooked yet? Jessa Slade is a fantastic new talent who writes powerful urban fantasy romance with demon-possessed heroes. The hero of VOWED IN SHADOWS is a former missionary, seriously wounded before he was claimed by immortality. His only hope for redemption is a fallen woman who has earned a reputation as “the Naughty Nymphette.” As you can imagine, sparks fly!
RED MORTAL by Deidre Knight
Ancient gods, demons, and Spartan warriors! Fans of mythology and paranormal romance will love Deidre’s band of immortal warrior heroes. King Leonidas has long led his fellow warriors in battle against dark forces, but his biggest fight will be for love. Just as he’s found an enduring passion with Daphne, the Oracle of Delphi, he is stripped of his immortality. Now, unless they can find a way to challenge Ares together, the lovers will be separated for eternity….
May 2011
DARKFIRE KISS by Deborah Cooke
Deborah Cooke’s popular Dragonfire series features sexy shape-shifting dragon warriors. There’s definitely an allure to a strong man who’s also a powerful shapeshifter! This series has garnered critical acclaim and awards, and DARKFIRE KISS has one of our favorite heroines to date. After surviving cancer, investigative reporter Melissa Smith has resolved to live without fear. Nothing is going to stand in the way of her revenge on the man who caused her friend’s death. But it’s only when Rafferty Powell appears in her life, and the heat between them unleashes the darkfire—an awesome force of Pyr legend—that she finds herself really living.
WARRIOR BETRAYED by Addison Fox
The Sons of the Zodiac series combines ancient mythology with a band of warriors each connected to a zodiac sign. We’ve already met the loyal Leo and deadly Scorpion warriors, and now it’s time for the Taurus warrior, Quinn Tanner, to take center stage. Security specialist Quinn is the only person who can help Montana Grant when her long-lost mother shows up spouting nonsense about Mount Olympus, immortal warriors, and long-standing curses. An angry goddess not only has put Montana’s life in danger but worldwide peace also hangs in the balance. This is the perfect series for anyone who loves fast-paced romance with alpha heroes and reading her horoscope!
ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes
One of our sexier historical romance writers, Emma Wildes came to NAL after a wildly (pun intended) successful eBook career. Her Regencies positively sparkle with wit, charm, and romance! This book kicks off a new series about untraditional heroines who have postponed marriage until their past scandals are laid to rest. The part-Iroquois hero of this book has his hands full when a new inheritance leaves him with three half-sisters to settle. We can’t say enough about this first book in the Ladies in Waiting series.
June 2011
STORM KISSED by Jessica Andersen
We also can’t praise Jessica Andersen’s sexy Nightkeeper world of modern magic-wielders enough! And neither can anyone else: Jessica’s received endorsements from J.R. Ward, Suzanne Brockmann, and Angela Knight. If you love to feel absorbed into complex worlds and casts of unforgettable secondary characters, this series is a perfect fit. You don’t want to miss Dez and Reese’s story. When Dez goes rogue to track down a powerful artifact, the hunt for him is intensely personal for bounty hunter Reese. He won’t get away with betraying her trust a second time…
EVERDARK by Elle Jasper
When the art department showed us the cover concept for this series, we actually gasped. And Elle Jasper matches the gorgeous package with an engaging, fresh, first-person urban fantasy romance. EVERDARK is the second book in the Dark Ink Chronicles series featuring a tattoo artist heroine involved in a Southern vampire war, but you can jump right into the story without reading the previous book. If you love gothic stories and Marjorie M. Liu, this is the perfect summer read!
FROSTBOUND by Sharon Ashwood
The previous book in this series (UNCHAINED) was just nominated for a RITA award, and the great reviews for The Dark Forgotten series keep piling up. This is a world where Creatures of the night (monsters, witches, vampires, demons, etc.) existed in the shadows up until the year 2000. At that time, they “came out of the crypt” on several late-night television talk shows. But the supernaturals didn’t receive a huge welcome, and equal rights have been slow in coming.
In FROSTBOUND, Lore—the hellhound that readers have been clamoring to see more of—finally gets his own story. As a snowstorm locks down the city, someone’s beheaded the wrong girl, and vampire-on-the-lam Talia Rostova thinks it was meant to be her. Now she’s the prime suspect in her own botched murder—and the prisoner of her smoking -hot hellhound neighbor.

My favorite summer reading spot is on my front porch. The weather’s nice, and I get to enjoy the sunshine with a great book. I would love to win either Darkfire Kiss, or Afterdark. :o)
My favourite summer reading spot is in front of the A/C. (We only have window units, and they don’t have a lot of range.) I’d love to win a copy of the Emma Wildes book; she’s rapidly becoming one of my favourite authors.
Just like any other time of year my favorite place to read is at home on my super comfy couch where the temperature is where I want it. Summers are miserably hot in KY and the last place I’d wanna be in out in the heat and humidity.
I would love to win a copy of “Eternal Kiss” by Laura Wright or “Everdark” by Elle Jasper.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Favorite place to read in the summer is on my balcony in the shade. It’s hard to just pick one, but I’d love either Everdark or Storm Kissed.
I will read just about any time, any place, but I suppose a favorite summer reading place would be on our deck with a cold drink at hand and the kids splashing in the pool. I would love to win Storm Kissed.
Pool side is the best place to read, and sometimes even floating in the pool. I am really looking forward to eternal kiss.
My favorite spot in the summer to read is at the beach. The kids are entertained for hours and I won’t be interrupted!
Warm sun, sound of the waves and good book = perfection!
I would love to read “One Whisper Away” by Emma Wildes.
When I have the pool to myself, I like reading on a raft. I’d love to win “Storm Kissed,” as I’ve been a fan of the series from the beginning.
My favourite spot is in the garden under shades with lemonade/ice tea nearby. A ball of fruits can come handy and I’m fine.
I’d love to get One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes
Favorite place to read in the summer is in the basement. We have a walkout basement and one of the walls is a glass door. So it’s almost like sitting outside :)
I’d love to win One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes
My favorite reading spot is right in my living room, windows throw wide, breeze blowing, sun shining, with a soft blanket to keep me comfortable.
And I’m very interested in EVERDARK.
Thank you for an amazing giveaway!
I have several favorite places to read…one is the bath tub…and another is outside in a lounge chair with the breeze and my ice tea…Thank you for the chance to win…I haven’t read any of the books offered..so I would love any of them.
I like reading in the backyard (only in the daytime when there are no mosquitoes). I’d most like to win One Whisper Away.
I love to sit out on the deck under the patio umbrella to read. Well, until it hits about late June and upper 90’s (temp AND humiditiy…), LOL
Darkfire Kiss looks really good. Actually, they all look really good.
My favorite spot to read is outside by the pool.
I would love Frostbound or Everdark.
Thanks!!

My favorite reading place in the summer is on the back deck – the shaded portion of course. But, only in the morning. Otherwise, it gets too darn hot here in Upstate, SC.
I would like to try something new for a change:
VOWED IN SHADOWS by Jessa Slade.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ohh Everdark is my main awaited title. Thank you. I would have to say that my hammock is the fav spot to read.
Totally Everdak or Frostbound are my main pick for these titles. Yes Everdark is so soon! Thank you for the giveaway. Also my favorite spot to read is in a huge chair by the window. I can see the kids play, and get in some pages.

Warrior Betrayed would be my choice.
My favorite place to read is on my sofa in the winter and the porch in the summertime.
If I had to choose, it would be either Eternal Kiss or One Whisper Away.
Thank you so much.

my favorite reading spot in the summer is in my lounge chair on the back deck.
I would love to win Vowed in Shadows by Jessa Slade or Red Mortal by Deidre Knight
My favorite spot to kick back and read in the summer is on my screened-in porch, with the kids playing in the backyard and a glass of homemade lemonade in front of me. I would love to read “One Whisper Away,” by Emma Wildes. She’s a new-to-me author and I look forward to reading her work.
Why settle for one vacation this year with the hassle of packing, traveling unpacking and then doing it all again just to get home: I am taking a vacation to a different place every week with a good book, a cold glass of tea and a deck chair in the shade and let the author take me to far away places with strange sounding names. Hello Summer!
My favorite place to read in the summer is curled up in a chair with a cold drink, usually inside in the AC.
I would most like to recieve Storm Kissed by Jessica Andersen.
In the cold seasons, I’m on my gavorite chair in my living room with a cup of tea. In summer, outside on my lawn chair again with a cup of tea and the cat sleeping at my feet.
In summer, I love to sit in a lounge chair in the shade to read.
The book I would like to win is Everdark by Elle Jasper.
I like reading just about anywhere. I can get lost in a book anywhere I choose to sit and read but it is nice to sit outside and read. Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com
Early mornings on the beach, when its still cool enough to need a sweatshirt.
RED MORTAL!
Favorite place to read in the summer is on the couch in the sunlight, with a fan blowing. Of course, I have to fight the cat for that spot. :)
Would love to win Frostbound.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Favorite place to kick-back and read is my backyard, I love reading outside. Living in CA makes that easy!
Frostbound-Sharon Ashwood is my choice, thanks!
I love kicking back on my front porch in the evening in my swing with my pups or my guy (whichever will sit still long enough :P ) As for which book i’d like, they are all looking good, but i have already read a few of them. I could never choose between Storm Kissed and Warrior betrayed though. So either of those would be great. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oooh, I LOVE to sit on the back deck in the evening in the summer ~ you can hear the birds, and watch the squirrels shimmying about, and read a book. It’s so peaceful & green & relaxing!!
I’d love to win Warrior Betrayed, Addison Fox ~ I haven’t read her yet, but keep getting told that I’m missing out.
My favorite place to read is anywhere. I mean it. I always have a book at hand. I guess if I have to pick it would be the sun room. Lots of windows and lots of light :). I think I’d like Warrior Betrayed or Eternal Kiss the most. Thank you.
My favorite spot to read – has just got to be on a sandy beach, in the sun(with my hat on, of course!)Everdark or or Frostbound are looking really good – having read Darkfire Kiss, and all the others in this series, Im ready for my next fix
I like reading in my comfy chair in my bedroom, with the screen door open and the fan on. I would love to read “One Whisper Away” by Emma Wildes. Thanks for this contest!
My favorite spot is on the deck in our backyard and I would pick One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes.
My favorite place to read in the summer is either at the beach or inside close to the A.C. lol.
I would love to read Everdark by Elle Jasper. :)
I love @SignetEclipse! My favorite place to kick back and read in the Summer is by my uncle’s pool. I moved a few houses down from him last year and soon realized that it was the greatest place to kick back and relax with a great book…as long as you apply sunscreen first! I got burned the first time…never again!! :)
I would love Everdark by Elle Jasper but I’m sure I would be happy with any of the titles they all sound fabulous!! :)
Hi! I like to read by the pool or outside a coffee shop in the shade. Of the books above, I am interested in eternal kiss! The all look great though ;)
Thanks for the giveaway!

My deck has the perfect combo of bright sun and a gorgeous grapevine for privacy and a bit of shade as the day wears on. I love to kick back and either read or write, while my kids play in the yard.
I’d love to read ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes. Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!
I love sprawling out on my back patio with a good book and a cool drink. RED MORTAL and ONE WHISPER AWAY both sound really interesting.
I like to sit ouside under a shaded tree and read a good novel. Please enter me to win ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes
My favorite spot to read in the summer it outside laying a woven mat on a sunny day. It’s cooler, and is a nice layer of protecting between me and the ground. Large blankets are nice too. Basically hailing back to the college days, but where I can read for pleasure instead of class.
I’d love to win One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes :)
Thanks for having the giveaway, Signet/NAL & DA!
My favorite summer place to curl up with a book is where ever we’ve managed to go for a family visit. After a long day catching up with loved ones and fun in the sun it’s a relief to sink into bed and get away from our “get away” for a little while. Let’s face it, family reunions and gatherings are great but quite exhausting. ;)
I’d most like to receive Frostbound. :D
Thanks for hosting such a terrific giveaway Kerry & DA!
Book I REALLY want to win- ETERNAL KISS, Laura Wright. I have yet to read her books and I am dying to. But I would also like to read-ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes. I have been looking for a historical romance book to read and haven’t found one that interested me. This sounds good!
My favorite place to read a book in the summer is anywhere outside. It’s only warm a few months out the year here in New York so I make my kids stay outside as much as I can get them too. It’s a win-win for both of us. They love when I sit outside and watch them play and I love to read.
Thanks sooooo much for this giveaway! Maybe one day I will actually win a giveaway!
Wherever my kitty is most comfortable!
One Whisper Away
Thanks for offering the free books!
Oh man, so many good books, how can I pick just one?
My favorite spot to read is on the couch, next to my kitty and a tall glass of tea.
I’d love Eternal Kiss, Warrior Betrayed, Storm Kissed, or Everdark. I’m easy. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for this cool offer!
My favorite place to kick back and read is in our pool while my teenager isn’t home. Alone with a good book…ahhh.
Elle Jasper’s first book was great, and I’d love to read Everdark!
I love to read at the beach…waves make the perfect back drop to reading a good book. You gave me a lot of good choices to choose from but if I have to it would be Everdark by Elle Jasper. Some of your choices I have already read and all of the authors are outstanding.
I’d love to win EVERDARK by Elle Jasper then sit in my favourite spot, under a shady tree in a comfortable chair, and read it in the Summer sunshine (that is assuming the UK ever gets any summer sunshine LOL).
I’d love to win Emma Wildes’ One Whisper Away. Like many books in the summer, it would be consumed on my balcony, in my chaise, accompanied by boozy lemonade. And with my cat staring out at me through the glass doors for hours on end, hee.
My favorite spot to kick back and read in the summer is outside on my deck.
One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes looks really good.
I like to kick back on my couch and get lost in a great book.
I’m interested in Emma Wilde’s book but all of them sound fantastic!
lounger with a table for a cold drink & munchies while reading!
I love to read out on my deck with a cool drink at hand :) Would also love to get a chance to read Storm Kissed by Jessica Andersen. Love those Nightkeepers!
Since I live in HOT-lanta, my favorite place to read, beginning Memorial Day is next to the pool! (the cool, cool, pool!) I’d love a chance to win DARKFIRE KISS. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite summer reading spot is in the backyard hammock under a gorgeous willow tree. Just me, a glass of sun tea and a favorite romance story.
Would love to read Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood.
caity_mack at yahoo dot com
Those all sound like great stories! If I had a brand spanking new (and free!) copy of Elle Jasper’s Everdark, I’d read it in a shady spot on a warm summer afternoon.
Favorite reading spot? My chair at camp; it sits next to the fireplace and right at the top of a hill overlooking the lake. Just….beautiful.
Favourite place to read – lounge chair on my back desk
Choice of free book – Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood or Everdark by Elle Jasper – either of these would be great to win
I love to read either on the sofa in the living room, with windows open or on laying on the bed.
I would love to get my hands on Sharon Ashwood’s Frostbound.
Favorite place to read – lounge chair in the shade
Choice of free book – (ugh – it’s hard to choose just one) Eternal Kiss, Laura Wright
If I’m at home, then my favourite spot is on our tiny little balcony where my husband and I can both just barely squeeze in, or if we visit my parents, on the front deck of their boat :) I’m so increadibly happy that the godawfully cold and long winter is finally – hopefully – gone!
ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes is the one I’d like the most, I think.
Red Mortal by Knight looks amazing!
I just love to read on my bed, summer or winter. No screaming kids… and nice fluffy pillows. Works for me!
My favorite place to curl up with a book in the summer is on my parent’s boat. Out of all of these books I would like to read Everdark the most because I love the cover. Thinking about adding each of these to my wishlist though :)
would love to win: WARRIOR BETRAYED by Addison Fox, my favourite place to read in the summer is at a nearby park, or in bed.
My favorite place to kick back is my back porch on a nice day. If it’s not a nice day, I curl up on my bed.
And I’m most looking forward to EVERDARK by Elle Jasper. I really enjoyed AFTERLIGHT!
My favorite place to read is in my bed with noone else around. My children are with me all the time and about the only time I get to read is after they’ve gone to bed.
I would love to win Everdark by Elle Jasper the most!
I always lay out in the sunshine. I get a bottle of water and an iced coffee. I lay out and read =) Tan, book and coffee…my favorites. As for the books listed…holy cow…I love them all! After some eliminations if I pick one it would be Red Mortal. It has some more of my favorite things in it. Gods, Greek Myth and warriors = yummy! Count me in please and thanks bunches.
I love reading outside on the hammock, in the sun while my kids play on our play set. I’d like to win Warrior Betrayed or Eternal Kiss the most. Thanks for the contest.
I like to read on my Kindle in the summer, mostly inside because I don’t like the heat.
I’d like to win eternal kiss, though I’ve not heard of most of these, so I probably should read more than one!
(hoping it’s open to Ireland!)
We created a space in our (small) front garden that’s a pair of benches with three plant pots, and a cup of tea (see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/98709485@N00/5646851138/ )
My favorite place to read is on my couch with the AC going! I’d love to win One Whisper Away.
I have the most comfortable lounge right next to a large bay window that has the sun coming in all day long, it’s comfortable & relaxing & the perfect place to sit back and read (with the air-conditioning on ;).
I would love to win a copy of Everdark by Elle Jasper
My favorite spot to read is a big comfy chair in my room that is right next to a window and my ipod speakers.
Frostbound sounds interesting enough that I think I’m going to buy Unchained.
My favorite spot to read is on my hammock in the backyard, next to the pool. Ah, summer.
My favorite spot to read is either on my bed late at night or on my couch during the day. Please enter me for One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes.
My favorite place to read is on my patio soaking up the sun. I’d love One Whisper Away, Emma Wildes if I win.
I read everywhere! I don’t have any special places to do so in the summer as I’m not a fan of lots of sunburn and too much heat. However, a nice, quiet and shaded porch is ideal. I get to be outside but not suffering the sun and not too much heat. Plus my furry friends can hang out there with me.
Many of the books above will be finding their way to my ‘to read’ list but I think I’m most interested in One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes.
Thanks to Signet/Nal and The Authors and Dear Author for the hefty additions to my books to read list and for the giveaway opportunity!
My favourite place is the lounge chair under the shade of the tree in the garden.
I would love to win Frostbound!
My fav place to read is not terribly original…it’s in my bed. Most comfy place!
I’d love to win ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes.
Wow, what generous authors! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Anyway, I live in “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” so heading out to one of them, taking a nice walk around the lake, then settling down with a great novel and picnic lunch sounds idea!
I would most like to win Everdark–that cover is gorgeous!
On the porch or under a shade tree. Would like Storm Kissed by Jessica Andersen. Thanks for the great giveaway.
During the summers, I like to go on picnics and lay a blanket under a tree and read. I would like to read Red Mortal by Deidre Knight.
Hmmmm… Definitely by the pool, with a glass of lemonade in hand and a nice shaded tree above. I would love ONE WHISPER AWAY – Thx so much for the giveaway!
Serena
My favorite spot to read during the summer would be in an air conditioned room on the couch. :) I would love to read Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood.
I’d most like to read One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes. My favorite reading spot (in any season) is my recliner in the den, surrounded by lots of windows. Thanks so much for hosting the giveaway.
I like reading in the house send the kids out to play and i get quite reading time .
My favorite place to read in summer is in the recliner on my back patio (which my grandpa built 55 years ago out of old telephone poles!), with a nice icy drink on the table by my elbow… :)

~rissatoo
P.S. DearAuthor: This is the first time the mobile theme loaded, and as you can see, I finally got a comment to work! Thank you, and sorry for all my whiny trouble. ;)
My favorite place to read is my rooftop. Me, the sun, and my Kindle! I’d most like to receive Emma Wildes’ One Whisper Away.
My favorite spot to relax and read a book is inside my house where there is A/C
I would like ETERNAL KISS by Laura Wright
My favorite summer reading spot is my favorite winter reading spot–my couch. ;-) I’d like it to be some fabulously exotic sunny perch with a constant delivery of refreshing iced beverages but nope, just my couch.
I’d love the book from Emma Wildes.
My all time fav spot to read in the summer is out in my back yard on my big wood swing looking out over my pond it so nice and peaceful i could sit there all day if i didnt have kids but the book i would like to have most is Storm Kissed, Jessica Andersen
My favorite place to read anytime of the year is in my bath tub. I enjoy my old cast iron tub with my caddy across it. My candles lit with the nice bubble bath aroma. I would really love to enjoy reading Everdark by Elle Jasper.
My favorite spot to read is a toss up between my bed…and my parents bed. Admittedly if my bed were as large as theirs (king size! I can lay horizontally across it!) it wouldn’t be a toss up, but ah well. Maybe one day…
My ideal spot would be a hammock. I got the opportunity to spend an afternoon reading in one last summer, and it was so wonderful.
I’ve added most of these books to my Kindle wishlist (DA and SBTB are horrid for my TBR pile…), but the one at the very top that I’m most looking forward to is probably:
RED MORTAL by Deidre Knight
All of these books sound awesome but I would love to get my hands on Everdark or Storm Kissed. My favorite place to read is in a comfy chair where there’s plenty of sunlight:)Than You for the great contest.
I would be thrilled to win any of the titles but most anticipate Vowed in Shadows and EverDark.. My fave place to read is outside on my deck with a cool glass of tea
My favorite reading place in summer is lying on the lounger next to the pool with a glass of something cool to drink.
In winter it is curled up on the lounge suite in front of the fire with a glass of white wine.
If the giveaway is open worldwide please enter me.
I would love to get Frostbound, Sharon Ashwood.
Thanks.

If I am at home, my favorite spot to read my books is a toss up between relaxing on my couch or being all cozy in bed with my books. If I am out and about, sometimes I will read on the train or sitting out on the pier on Lake Michigan.
I love the covers and titles and want to read all these books but I think I am most interested in “Everdark” by Elle Jasper and “Eternal Kiss’ By Laura Wright.
In the summer, my favorite place to read is anywhere where it’s cool…and untroubled by insects.
I’m interested in RED MORTAL by Deidre Knight. Thanks.
I love to spend my reading summer in a hammock in the shade where I can just relax. I would love to win Darkfire Kiss by Deborah Cooke or Warrior Betrayed by Addison Fox.
I like to drive my car somewhere peaceful and pretty, and sit and enjoy a cold drink and a snack and a good book and some scenery. Maybe get out and take a walk with my camera :)
I am very intrigued by Everdark – Elle Jasper and Frostbound – Sharon Ashwood
I like to kick it back on the porch at the lake (aka my father’s place) out of the sun but close enough to the water to see it.
Darkfire Kiss, Deborah Cooke — been obsessing about Dragon’s lately.
My family and I go to a family camp in the summer. I always pack a ton of romance and have a wonderful time just relaxing in a lounge chair in the sun. I leave my books in the library there and they get snapped up right away. :-)
Please put me in for the Emma Wildes book, I read something by her recently and thought it very interesting.
My favorite reading spot is my back porch, hopefully with a nice gin and tonic while the kiddo and hubby are out at the park ;)
I’m intrigued by Eternal Kiss by Laura Wright!
I love relaxing outside in a lawn chair while reading a great book while the kids run around and play! I think most of those books sound great but Emma Wildes One Whisper Away sounds amazing to me. Thanks for the chance!
Don’t even think about packing, it’s time for a staycation. Time to fix a pitcher of sweet tea and a platter of sliced fresh fruit; the beach is calling. I can hear the waves lapping on the shore; feel the sun kiss my skin as the salty sea breeze cools me down. As I sit on my beach chair and push my feet in the sand taking a moment to relax. I open a book to be drawn into another world, if only for a few hours. Hopefully the book will be Darkfire Kiss by Deborah or One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes.
After sweating under the globe willow in my front yard my favorite spot to read in the summer is at the local library! I get to be surrounded by books, it’s cool (the air conditioning rocks) and there are comfortable chairs where I can sit for a long time!
What a great giveaway! Thank you :-) My fave spot is on my bed right under the fan so I can keep cool during those hot summer months :-) Would love to win Everdark by Elle Jasper – I loved her first book and can’t wait to read this one!

My big comfy chair :-)
I would LOVE to win One Whisper Away, Emma Wildes!
Awesome contest! All the books sound wonderful! I’m especially interested in the book Eternal Kiss. My favorite place to read is in my comfy rocking chair :)
My favorite place to kick back in the summer is in the giant hammock on our deck. Depending on my mood at the time, I would enjoy any of the listed books, but especially One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes or Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood.
First off a huge Thank You to Jane & Signet for a fantastic giveaway. I’ve been introduced to a lot of great writers by following you all.
My reading spot is year round.. I call it the back room [kinda like a den] I have my reading chair & computer there. There is a door to the back yard so I don’t have to quit reading to let the dogs out. When the weather is nice I access the cats to their outside enclosure thru the window, so I get a nice breeze and can hear the wind chimes as well.. makes for a nice reading area.
While I would be thrilled to get any of these books I’m going to say Warrior Betrayed by Addison Fox. I’m a Taurus, have to check out the Taurus Warrior : ) Added them the rest to my wishlist.. can you hear it groaning?
i love to kick back at my local coffe house with a great book!
i would love to have Frostbound
Thanks for the chance to win!! What a lovely giveaway

Oh Everbound or Frostbound sound great.
I’d also love to just swing in a hammock in a shady spot and just enjoy!
I like to sit on my porch to read — nice and shady!
I’d love to get Storm Kissed, Everdark, or One Kiss Away.. lol Honestly they ALL sound great!
One Whisper Away is my pick although many of the others are nice too this kind of echo’s my philosophy although you can never be just One Whisper Away you either are or not!!
I love to sit back and read on my front porch with a starbucks chai in hand. Bliss!
I’d love to read One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes. It looks right up my alley and perfect for summer reading on my front porch.
ETERNAL KISS by Laura Wright
I’d love to win this! She’s on my TBB list ~ they sound so great!
Last summer my favorite place to read was at my parents’ summer cottage.
I’d like to win: One Whisper Away by Emma Wildes.
I’d love to read One Whisper Away out on my balcony this summer! It’s quiet and shady and I’ve always got a nice breeze from the river.
I love lounging in the sun in my back yard! There’s lots if greenery and wildlife to create the perfect background for a wonderful reading adventure!
I’d love a copy of Frostbound, Sharon Ashwood
Thanks!

My favorite spot to read is on my porch. I set up my chair, grab an ice-cold lemonade and park myself under the umbrella. Enjoyable atmosphere for a good read! :) STORMED KISS would be my pick. Thanks for the chance!
Is this an international contest? If so I’d love to be included. I actually have a lot of fave places to read, but my absolutly fave place, and it’s a place I don’t get to go to all too often, is that the beach.
Obvuously I keep my precious books away from the water, but there’s nothing better than relaxing in the sun. I guess it’s a result of living Down Under–what can I say? LOL.
I’d love to win Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood—it sounds fabulous.
Great contest!

My favorite spot to kick back and read during the summer would have to be on the porch either sitting in a chair or on a swing.
The book that I’d like to read is Darkfire Kiss by Deborah Cooke

My favorite spot to read in the summer is a parkbench anywhere. I’ve read in parks in London, Barcelona, New York, and DC (to name a few). I would dearly love to read Darkfire Kiss by Deborah Cooke on a park bench somewhere.
My favourite place to read in the summer is out in the yard, in a nice comfy chair under the eucalyptus trees on a beautiful warm day.
The book I would most like to read is ETERNAL KISS by Laura Wright.
i like reading while lying on my bed, where i can be at peace… i would like to have the book A WHISPER AWAY….it seems a really great book Or STORM KISSED….
My favorite spot to read is in my bed. I love when it’s super quiet and the only thing I have to focus on is what I’m reading. I’m most interested in Red Mortal by Deidre Knight or Eternal Kiss by Laura Wright.

Hmmm best place to read in the summer for me is in my garden, lovely warm sun, very soft breeze, a blanket on the grass, near a tree or two for the lovely dappling shadows, and my cat coming along every now and again to keep me company! (also the sound of water in the background,)
book to have? well I’ve got my eye on Frostbound!! :)
My best places to read are anywhere and everywhere I can! If I had to pick a favorite, it is on the couch w/ a snack and beverage or while relaxing in the bathtub :). I really don’t get to do much of either so, I do most my reading at night in bed on my iPad. As for prefered books I choose Everdark, Elle Jasper & Frostbound, Sharon Ashwood.
Oh my God! I won! Thank you so very much Dear Author & Signet/NAL! And congratulations to all of the other winners!
My favorite place to read in summer is on our porch with a frosty cold glass of tart lemonaide.
There are a few that look good, but I’d like Frostbound, Sharon Ashwood. I’m curious about hellhounds!
TY so much for this giveaway. It’s such a good way to expand my list of books to try.
@Patrice:
Surprise! I’m your long-lost relative! =D Now, may I join you on that porch?
On my lounger in the shade of my beautiful garden with cup of coffee/glass of wine to hand (depending on time of day). I could like there for hours with a good book. Possibly Everdark or One Whisper Away?? Thank you
I’m a lucky gal – my DH is the best – he actually remodeled our garage for me to use as a library (he calls it Girl Land) with floor to ceiling shelves, soft comfy reclining chair, mini fridge, and coffee pot so this is my favorite place to hang out.
I love Sharon Ashwood, so I’d love to win a copy of Frostbound! This series rocks!
I’d love to try “One Whisper Away,” and my favorite reading spot is the hammock (especially if my guy is reading there, too!).
My favorite place to read is in my room.
Eternal Kiss by Laura Wright
I like reading just about anywhere pretty much but I have to say sitting outside on a chair with a book is my favorite place. Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com
Just a quick comment; on the submittance form for winners international numbers cannot be entered as it doesn’t approve the format which would be ## ## #### #### and it wants it to be (###)### #### which is 2 digits short and thus not useable.
Oh sweet! A very nice giveaway.
I like to kick-back on the lounge on the back deck. Unfortunately, it’s already reaching the mid 90’s by noon. So, it’s back to the comfy couch. Actually, anywhere I can read undisturbed is a great place!
I haven’t read this author, yet, but I have heard great things. I would like ONE WHISPER AWAY by Emma Wildes please.
Thank you.
