Kaye's Book Review Page
on which she said The book is "short, sweet, light-hearted and just plain fun."
Vince at Philosophy of Romance said "Alice Audrey’s voice is fresh, feisty, full of surprises and always fun. The author also deals with real people having real problems and she does it in a very insightful way."
Nessa at Chrysalis Stage said "If you like sweet, fast-paced romance with a hot hero and all of the misunderstandings that two people can throw at each other, then you will love this story."
Night Owl Reviews didn't have anything nice to say about it. Hey, you can't win them all.
Brenda Talley of Romance Studio said " I recommend this book to anyone. It was a pleasure to read and I shall look for more of her work in the future. "
By Guta Bauer at Murphy's Library did it twice! Once in English and once in Portuguese. I'm assuming they both say, "Life goes on, choices need to be made and we can never let our past deny us of our future. That’s just some of the things we learn from this story. "

 California, 1985. Four children and young teacher Anne Navarre make a gruesome discovery; a partially buried female body, her eyes and mouth glued shut. A serial killer is at large, and the very bonds that hold their idyllic town together are about to be tested to the breaking point.
Tasked with fining the killer, FBI investigator Vince Leone employs a new and controversial FBI technique called “profiling” which plunges him into the lives of the four children — and the young teacher, whose need to uncover the truth is as intense as his own.
But as new victims are found and pressure from the media grow, Vince and Anne find themselves circling the same small group of local suspects, unsure whether those who suffer most are the victims themselves… or those close to the killer, blissfully unaware that someone very near to them is a murderous psychopath.

I mean over at Etsy. I need to get a little interest going in the new store so my listings don’t keep ending up on page 30 (out of 45). Now that I’ve got a reasonable number of items up for grabs, I need some attention.
So…. I’m going to do a giveaway.
Go visit my Etsy store and click the Like (the heart button in the menu at the top) and/or Favorite buttons on the store itself and/or any of the items you like. Each time you click one of those buttons I’ll count it as one entry.
On February 14th I’ll draw names from all entries. The winners get their pick from any of the items in the store on that day (I’ll make sure there are at least a dozen to choose from).
How many winners will there be? It depends on how many clicks I get. The more, the merrier.
You’ve seen the great teasers. This book is full of them! Just as you’d expect from Eloisa James, it’s a great Historical Romance.
From the back cover: A marquess’s sheltered only daughter , Lady Roberta St. Giles falls in love with a man she glimpses across a crowded ballroom: a duke, a game player of consummate skill, a notorious rakehell who shows no interest in marriage – until he lays eye on Roberta.
Yet the Ear of Gryffyn knows too well the price required to gain a coronet is often too high. Damon Reeve, the earl, is determined to protect the exquisite Roberta from chasing after the wrong destiny.
Can Damon entice her into a high-stakes game of his own, even if his heart is likely to be lost in the venture?

 It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my monthly giveaways. About time I got back to it, I say.
Surrender to Me is about a tightly wound duchess with a passionate heart who goes off to Scotland to stop the rotten husband who stole her dowry and is now trying to bilk some other fair maid out of her dowry by claiming to be someone he isn’t. It’s a hard journey, one that leads her into the dangerous wilds where she is attacked by highwaymen. If not for the hero who saves her, the journey would have ended right there.
Their paths keep crossing as he searches for his family history and she deals with the fall out of her husband’s untimely demise until in the end, they couldn’t possibly part.
To win, simply leave a comment between now and Thursday midnight. Drawing will be done Friday and posted in my sidebar. International entries welcome.
This is a signed copy.
From the cover:
It was a scandal waiting to happen…
Colonel Phineas Bromley is a legend — on the battle field and in the bedroom. Though he’s won many wars, and even more hearts, nothing could prepare him for his new life. When Phin discovers that someone has been pushing his family toward ruin, he assumes the role of a legendary highwayman. Riding out in the middle of the night, hidden behind a mask, Phin heads straight into trouble… and into the arms of the ravishing girl next door.
Coming face-to-face with a masked man did not frighten Alyse donnelly as it should have. Instead she finds him rather dashing. But her foolish heart has led her into trouble before, and helping a fugitive may mean jeopardizing her onw plans, no matter how enticing his kisses. Now , as the danger grows, Alyse must make a choice between freedom… and the chance for a true love.
You can see teasers on this one here, here, and tomorrow.

I did a teaser on this one last Tuesday, and will do another tomorrow.
Mia Mitchell is a police officer, a daughter of a police officer, and a mess. She’s lost two partners and taken a few shots already and doesn’t want to lose any more. The best way to see that happen is to not get another partner.
But in the police world it doesn’t work that way. When Chicago Fire Department Lieutenant Reed Solliday comes to the department with an arsonist who murders, it calls for the merging of departments, and Mia gets a new temporary partner.
This is a Romantic Suspense, so you can pretty well bet the temporary aspect only applies to work relations, even though Reed is still grieving ten years after his wife’s death. Used to her soft, gentle heart, he’s finding Mia’s fiery temper and strong opinions quite the change of pace.
Throw in a vicious killer whose favorite weapon is an explosive packed plastic egg and things heat up fast.

Supremely sensible Emmaline Dove wishes to share her etiquette expertise with London’s readers, and as secretary to Viscount Marlowe, Emma knows she’s in the perfect position to make her dream come true. Marlowe might be a rake with a preference for can-can dancers and an aversion to matrimony, but he is also the city’s leading publisher, and Emma is convinced he’s her best chance to see her work in print… until she discovers the lying scoundrel has been rejecting her manuscripts without ever reading a single page!
As a publisher, Harry finds reading etiquette books akin to slow, painful torture. Besides, he can’t believe his proper secretary has the passion to write anything worth reading. Then she has the nerve to call him a liar, and even resigns without notice, leaving his business in an uproar and his honor in question! harry decides it’s time to teach Miss Dove a few things that aren’t proper. But when he kisses her, he discovers that his former secretary has more passion and fire than he’d eve imagined, for one luscious tase of her lips only leave him hungry for more.

I’ve been teasing you with this one for weeks now. If you haven’t already caved and gotten your copy, here’s your chance to get the ebook version.
Trevor Wolff was born to rock. Or he would be if he could play an instrument. Unluckily, he has more talent for madness and mayhem than bass guitar. Despite a harsh upbringing in the trailer court which has resulted in some peculiar quirks, he’s got a wicked since of humor.
There’s a sweetness and vulnerability under his cock-of-the-walk strut. He really does look out for the best interests of the people he cares about. Yet he can’t bring himself to rely on them when things go bad. And they do. Just when he and his band are ready to prove themselves, he runs into a problem he can’t handle even with a letter opener.
I laughed. I cried. I actually enjoyed crying, though I generally skip books that make me want to. Not this time. I didn’t want to miss a moment of Trevor’s wild life and would love for the book to keep on going.

For the Duke of Fletcher and Lady Perdita Selby, it was a love match. A quick and smooth courtship in the beautiful city of Paris followed by a grand wedding should have lead to a life in perfect harmony. Were it not for the ideals pounded into Perdita by a domineering and cold hearted mother, this might have actually worked.
Alas for the poor duke, Perdita behaved in bed as if she could not stand to lay with him, no matter how much she loved Fletcher. For her part, she couldn’t figure out what she was doing that displeased him so. Not until his frustrations reach the point where he says something unforgivable in public, driving her to leave his house do they stand the chance to learn to love one another with more than hearts.
Leave a comment on this post between now and Thursday for a chance to win a copy of this book. International entries fine. Winner announced on this post and in my sidebar on Friday.
I know, I should have done this at the beginning of October instead of the beginning of November, but I’m still fairly close to Halloween. I’m giving away a vampire book.
Blurb from the back: Hollywood stunt-woman turned vampire hunter Dawn Madison is tired to the bone and beyond. With her comrades in arms, she managed to wipe out the Los Angeles vampire Underground. And in doing so, she uncovered not only her own dark family heritage but also a terrible truth about the man she loves. Now she’s determined to find the next vampire lair, thinking it will help her to make sense out of what her life has become.
Luckily, when it comes to the undead, there’s always work to do.
When a new Underground is found in England, Dawn and a crack vampire-hunting team are dispatched to carry the fight from the flash and dash of Los Angeles to the seemingly staid and stolid streets of London. Dawn knows by now how deceiving appearances can be – and she is about to find out that it’s not only the beautiful people of Hollywood who are willing to bargain with evil…
This is actually the middle of a series, which shows more in the blurb than in the book itself. I came into the series with this book, and didn’t have any trouble at all.
To get my copy, simply leave a comment on this post between now and Thursday night. I’ll do the drawing and announce the winner in my sidebar on Friday. And yes, I will ship international.
“All I see is my far too creative sister concocting a lunatic plan to escape the duty which is being pressed upon her. Just like the last time.”
She paused and sat back. “Yes, I suppose that I must concede that that is correct.”
Save my own, this is probably my favorite amnesia story. You can win a copy of it by leaving a comment on my Monday post. I mean this one. You can also read the cover blurb there. In case you’re curious. It says a bit about the plan.

Win a copy of When A Stranger Loves Me by Julianne MacLean. Simply leave a comment on this post between now and Thursday. I’ll do the drawing and announce the winner in my sidebar on Friday.
From the cover blurb: When he washed up on shore, I knew my prayers had been answered, and that I, Lady Chelsea Campion, need no longer fear poverty and heartbreak. To secure my family’s estate, all I needed was a child. Handsome, clearly noble-born, and with no memory of his previous life, the mysterious man was perfect. All I had to d o was visit his bedchamber and seduce him. I had expected him to be a skillful, scandalously wonderful lover, but once in his arms I was overcome by something more than mere passion. I had fallen hopelessly, desperately in love.
My plan has gone shockingly awry. But I will not give up a man who makes me feel such wicked ecstasy. No matter his true identity, no matter the secrets he struggles to remember, I will do anything in this world to make the stranger love me.
This contest is closed.
Eerie. I was over at Sullivan McPig’s blog entering a book contest when I remembered I needed to pick a winner for this one. So I headed over to Random.org (I use it for most of my contest picks) and plugged in the numbers, and it gave me Sullivan McPig. It was so weird, I almost drew again as a knee-jerk reaction.

“It isn’t pretty even in the best of circumstances and these aren’t going to be the best. You saw what she is like.”

It was one heck of a contest. I’ve never had anything like it before. In three days I gathered nearly 600 entries. To make my selections, I printed out the comments, plus duplicates of the ones I told you would get you extra entries. The Girl cut them all into slips of paper, folded them, and made a pile. Check it out.
Yes, that’s the quilt under it. I still have the edging to put on, but otherwise I’m done. Yipee!
I then had The Girl reach into the pile and pull out slips of paper until all the prizes were awarded.
Not surprisingly, those who commented on Suzie’s House made out like bandits, sometimes getting picked several times. Tom, you came in Ninth. Since the only thing you wanted was the quilt, I’m afraid you’re out of luck. No, I’m not giving up my gourmet spam, but I’ll try to order you some.
Here’s how the rest shook down:
Linda Henderson, you get not only the quilt, but my copy of One Scream Away.
Allana, you were second drawn. You get Twilight
Pam S you have the most amazing luck. You get Death Angel, How to Knit a Wild Bikini, Mind Blown, Staking His Claim, and Sir Nicholas.
Guta Bauer, you get Somewhere My Lass, Frontier Wife, and Buried Heart
Jessica Deratany, you get Silver Screen Hero
Marlene Breakfield gets Duchess by Night, Trevor’s Song, Kincaid’s Call, and Holly and the Millionaire.
Brittany Morrow gets Torrid Teaser, Speedtrap, and Maelstrom
Nessa gets Goldie and the Three Behrs.
Briana Bruce gets a journal
Chacoy gets Aimee’s Locket
Andrea I gets My Funny Valentine
Aik gets a love note kit
Dawn of Designs by Dawn gets the other love note kit.
Helena gets a journal
Julie @ Knitting and Sundries was the last name pulled. The books are gone, but if you’d like a journal, I have one left.
Congratulations everyone!
