I’m going to start doing my contests a little differently. Instead of just comments on Friday’s post it will be comments for the whole week (Monday-Sunday). I will still post the contest on Friday, but all comments will go into the hat. The more you comment the more chances to win the contest.

This week’s contest is for a copy of Awakened By a Kiss by Lila DiPasqua.

About the book:

Three classic fairy tales - “Sleeping Beauty,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Little Red Riding Hood” - cleverly retold with enough sensual twists to prove that wickedly ever after does exist…

Sleeping Beau: Five years ago, the notorious rake, Adrien d’Aspe, Marquis de Beaulain, was awakened by a sensuous kiss - and experienced a night of raw ecstasy that was branded into his memory. Years later, he spots his mysterious seductress - and this time, he has no intention of letting her go…

Little Red Writing: Nicolas de Savignac, Comte de Lambelle, has been assigned by the King to uncover the secret identity of the author writing scandalous stories about powerful courtiers. He never expected his investigation would lead to his grandmother’s house, or to a ravishing woman who would stir his deepest hunger…

Bewitching in Boots: Elisabeth de Roussel, daughter of the Kind, is accustomed to getting what she wants - and she wants Tristan de Tiersonnier, Comte de Saint-Marcel, and ex-commander of the King’s private Guard. A recent injury has forced Tristan to leave his distinguished position, but Elisabeth is determined to make him see he’s every bit the man he once was - and more than man enough for her…

This week’s Fabulous Friday giveaway is for HOLLY’S INBOX: SCANDAL IN THE CITY. Check out my review from earlier in the week to see what the book is about. To enter: Leave a comment on this post answering the question - Would your emails make a good book? I know mine wouldn’t, lol. I don’t email a whole lot and most of them are to my mom or husband about kid stuff. Contest will run through 8/22/10 at 5pm cst. US addresses only, please.

This week’s Fabulous Friday isn’t for a book. I’m giving a $10 amazon gift card to one commenter. Just answer the following question - WHAT BOOK(S) ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS? Contest will run through Sunday the 15th at 5pm cst.

I’m looking forward to several books, but none more than INSIDE OUT by Lauren Dane. Here is a link to the excerpt on Lauren’s site - EXCERPT. I absolutely loved LAID BARE and COMING UNDONE, so I’m itching to get my hands on INSIDE OUT. Lauren writes with such emotion and sensuality. I’ve read LAID BARE at least 5 times. It is my go-to book when I’m looking for something that will make me feel something or if I’m in a reading rut. It is the one book I know I will love no matter how many times I’ve read it.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t come out until November so I have to wait a while longer.

Maybe one of the books someone else is really excited about will help me in my long wait till November:)

This week’s Fabulous Friday is for a copy of DESIRE ME by Robyn DeHart (Book #2 The Legend Hunters).

From the back of the book:

The Legend Hunters…

The Men of Solomon’s meet in secret, their very existence only a rumor among the best of Victorian society. They are treasure hunters, men of wealth and title, seekers of myths and legends. And no legend is as mystifying as the lost city of Atlantis…

Desire Me

Years ago, Maxwell Barrett found a map to Atlantis and dedicated his life to the search for the mystical lost continent. But when an alluring woman makes a wager for the priceless artifact, he may have discovered an even greater treasure.

A  descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn’t need are the sparks flying between her and Max. He’s too devilishly charming to be trusted: The fate of her people is at stake as well as her heart. Yet a ruthless killer also covets the map. Now Max and Sabine must decode the prophecy’s riddle before this criminal fulfills his deadly mission.
