From Author Roni Loren
Want to catch up with The Loving on the Edge series before reading the new release, CAUGHT UP IN YOU? Enter to win Roni Loren’s print backlist, including signed copies of CRASH INTO YOU, MELT INTO YOU, and FALL INTO YOU! Kati D reviewed the backlist here (and enjoyed them!)
CAUGHT UP IN YOU blurb:
The girl who has spent her life running is about to be caught . . .
After a shaky past, Kelsey LeBreck’s future is looking good. She’s been saving money for culinary school with her earnings from The Ranch, a private BDSM resort. Even better, she’s landed a day job where she can practice baking and flirt with her favorite customer. However, having secret fantasies about Wyatt Austin is where it has to end. If there’s one thing Kelsey knows can derail her, it’s a relationship. But when a danger from her past threatens to steal her fresh start, the intense executive may be the only one who can help her.
Wyatt doesn’t have room on his agenda for dating, but something about the pretty young waitress stirs desires he thought were long buried. So when he needs someone to pose as his girlfriend at an important business retreat and finds out Kelsey needs to go off the grid for a while, he can’t resist making her an offer. Soon, Kelsey learns that Wyatt’s power in the boardroom is no match for his power in the bedroom, and she wonders if her heart will survive. Because Wyatt Austin is a man who gets what he wants, and now he wants her.

From Author L. J. LaBarthe
Gallienus of Constantinople, a scarred soldier who used to work the city gates, enters a new phase of his life when he meets and falls in love with Misahuen of Gyeongju. But prejudice of same-sex relationships dominates Byzantine society, and both the Emperor and the Church denounce such love. Should Misahuen and Gallienus be discovered, the punishment is castration or death. Fearing he’ll lose Misahuen, Gallienus decides to go with Misahuen when he leaves the city forever.
A former farmer, Misahuen fled war-torn Korea and journeyed to Constantinople with a merchant caravan. He didn’t expect to take such an interest in a wounded soldier at journey’s end. But he understands the danger, so he and Gallienus join another caravan as guardsmen and begin a two-thousand-mile trip along the Silk Road. Now all they have to do is persevere to their final destination without the truth of their relationship being discovered and being killed because of it… or by the other dangers along the Road.
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McQuire ..Travis is my #1
Remy is my #2
Another great give away – I’m really enjoying the variety.
Thanks for these great giveaways!
Real is my #1 fighter book and I also love Lori Fosters Fighter series.
Awesome giveaway.
Thanks for the opportunity
I really don’t have a favorite fighter book.
I don’t think I’ve ever read a fighter book so I don’t have a favorite. The review for Real makes it sound amazing so it could be the start to my very own fighter book obsession.
These look great, thanks for the giveaway! I don’t know if I have a favorite fighter book, I haven’t read any that I can remember, so hopefully I haven’t read any haha
I don’t remember reading any fighter books. Or at least none of them–if I ever read any–made any impression on me.
I’m not sure I have a favourite fighter book. It depends what sense you mean ‘fighter’ in. Lots of books I’ve read have their characters fighting to get their lives back on track one way or another, then there’s the books in which there is actual physical fighting going on. Nope, definitely don’t have a favourite, but I love to watch how people fight for what they want.
Thanks for having all these contests!
I don’t have a favorite fighter book. Don’t think I’ve ever read one. Thanks for the giveaways!
I like the variety of books in this giveaway. Keep them coming
Giveaways make me happy! :)
Haven’t read a fighter book (unless you count ones involving hockey players who occasionally drop the gloves), but I’ve heard Kele Moon has some good ones…
Great giveaways! Roni Loren’s series is great and is one of my fave authors. (Her and Cherise Sinclair are tied with Kristen Ashley for first place! LOL)
I love MMA/fighter books. I recently read Causing Havoc and fell in love with that series. (I’m waiting for the second book from the library and it’s driving me crazy!) I also have re-read Kele Moon’s Battered Hearts series. The first was great but the second. Star Crossed, topped it.
Real – Katy Evans :D :)
Thanks for the amazing giveaways! :)
I’ve been wanting to try Roni Loren for a while- thanks for doing the giveaway!
I don’t have a favorite fighter book but Roni is one of my favorite authors!
Thanks for the giveaways
Haven’t read any fighter books yet. Thanks for the giveaway.
Gotta say that I am loving the variety. Lots of new-to-me authors that I will be checking out regardless of winning or no.
So far, the only fighter book I’ve read is an HP, No More Sweet Surrender. I enjoyed it and would like to read more.
Thanks for the great giveaways
Wow, an opportunity to win Roni Loren’s books…just awesome!
Oh and I’m sorry I haven’t read any fighter books but this one sounds like a great place to start =).
Thanks for the giveaways and a fabulous month of contests!
Thank you for these great giveaways!
Wow! Thank you so much for these great giveaways! I haven’t read many fighters’ books but I recently enjoyed Seducing Cinderella by Gina L. Maxwell. Actually there wasn’t much about the sport but I was very nice and I like the idea of a boxer hero! :-)
And I’d love to get Roni Loren’s books since I love erotic romances! ;-)
Thanks again for the chance! :-)
My favourite fighter book is Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Thanks for all the great giveaways! I don’t think I have read many books with fighters. I do remember being impressed with Sarah Mayberry’s “Below the Belt” featuring a female boxer.
Awesome giveaway! Favorite fighter is a hard choice between Travis from Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and Remy from Real by Katy Evans

Never read a fighter book! There’s a first time for everything! \o/
I haven’t read any fighter books either, although I could have sworn that Lori Foster has some MMA heroes.
Flynn from Cara Mckenna’s Willing Victim.
REAL is one of my all time favorite books!!! If you haven’t read it… you need to as Remy is one hot book boyfriend!!! His story and journey is one you don’t want to miss out on!!!
Loved Gina Maxwell’s fighter books!
Don’t really have one :( But thanks for the awesome giveaways!
Causing Havoc by Lori Foster and pretty much all her SBC fighter Series! Love them
Thanks for the giveaways!
Exciting everyday to see what new giveaways are up!
I love Remy! Thanks for the giveaway!
Loved REAL !
Love Real. :)
I don’t really have a favorite fighter, but the last one I remember reading is Gina Maxwell’s Seducing Cinderella.
I must be the only person in the world who hated Beautiful Disaster and I would have recommended that the heroine run not walk as fast as she could away from Travis. Just goes to show that different people read and react to different things in the books they read. *shrugs* But I must say I loved Real by Katy Evans and I have the next book in the series already preordered.
Roni Loren’s books are priced on the high end of my price point but I always end up buying them anyway because I know that I am going to enjoy them. The only one that I haven’t read is the eight part serial that worked out to $16. Definitely engaging.
no fav fighter book; these sound interesting
I love giveways! thanks jane!
I’ve been wanting to read real. :)
Beautiful Disaster but have been wanting to read Real….was waiting for the other books though….
Thanks for the giveaway.
I have to say Travis since I haven’t read Real yet!
Love REMY! Great giveaways!
Thanks for the giveaway. Love Roni Loren’s books.
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McQuire
I haven’t actually read a fighter book yet but Real has been on my TBR for a while!!
Roni Loren’s books also look interesting and I would like to read them.
I can’t say I’ve read too many fighter books, but I really enjoyed Seducing Cinderella by Gina Maxwell.
The only fighter novel I’ve read is Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire.
Roni Loren’s books sound interesting, enter me please!
Remy “Riptide” Tate is my favorite fighter all the way!!
Real by Katie Evens is my favorite fighter book!!
I would love to win the Roni Loren set!
Thank you so much for doing a giveaway.
Ooooo these all sound really great!
I haven’t read any fighter books. Unless you count Walking Disaster since Travis fights in an underground club.
I’ve never actually read any fighter type books. Thanks for the giveaways!
I’ve read Real and found it to be a wonderful book.
But I’m a super fan of Roni Loren’s and would fall into the fangirl ugly cry if I won her books lol :D Adore her!!! <3 < 3
Thank you for the amazing giveaway opportunity!
Good afternoon and thank you for another great giveaway!
I am equal opportunity lover. I’d never say no to Travis or Remy!

Cara McKenna’s “Willing Victim” is easily my favorite fighter book.

I’ve heard good things about the Roni Loren books – they’ve been on my Kindle wishlist for a couple of weeks.
This anniversary celebration just keeps getting better…
Fav fighter? Remington…without a doubt.
What a fantastic array of books in the giveaways
my favorite fighter book is Real by Katy evans duh!!!
I’ve never read a fighter book, but hopefully that will change soon.
Weirdly enough, haven’t read one!
Can’t recall ever having read a fighter book before.
Hmm, depends on what we think of as a fighter. From Highlanders to Vikings to Vampires to good ol’ fashion “humans”….to many to pick from. Maybe Rhage from BDB.
I don’t think I’ve ever read a fighter book…yet. ;)
Thanks for an awesome month!
My fav is Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire. I liked it better by Travis’s point of view.
I have never read a fighter book. This sounds very good. I will put it on my tbr list. Thanks for the giveaway.
I haven’t read any modern day fighter novels that were favorites yet, but I do have a rather big obsession with Curran and Kate – they count as fighters, don’t they? ;)
My favorite fighter book is Beautiful Disaster. Great giveaway!
I have a few, but i don’t have 1 favorite..but Remy is definitely one of them
Thanks for the giveaway :)
Thanks for the giveaway, DA!
Beautiful Disaster :)
I have heard nothing but good things about Roni Lauren’s Loving on the Edge series -thanks for the opportunity to win her backlist!
I don’t think I HAVE a favorite fighter book, but I love getting a good recommendation ;) Thanks!
I haven honestly never read a book that has a fighter in it exactly. There have been fight scenes in some of the books I’ve read, but it’s never been a focal point. Sounds sexy!
Big fan of Roni Loren, one day I’ll have a signed book from her! *crossing fingers*
Beautiful Disaster – but that’s probably because it’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head!
Beautiful disaster is my favorite fighting book.
Great giveaways, thanks.
I’m enjoying the great giveaways this week, it makes for an enjoyable morning seeing what books are up next :)
I like coming every day and seeing what is being offered. I love the fighters in Kit Rocha’s Beyond series.
I love Roni Loren! I would love to have her books! Thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity!

I haven’t read many fighter books but I liked Seducing Cinderella. I’ve been wanting to read Real and Roni’s series, thank you for the chance!
