The dog days of summer are officially here! Are you looking for a fun, romantic read to keep you cool and smiling through the heat? If so, I've got just the thing! My good friend, Maria Geraci, has a new book out that RT Book Reviews called "a great, easy breezy summer read that will keep you captivated until the end." And I'm going to give you a shot at your very own autographed copy! See below for details.
From the author of the The Boyfriend of the Month Club, A Girl Like You promises humor, entertainment, sympathetic characters and a heartwarming romance.
What if you found out you were the ugly friend?
Emma Frazier is smart, hardworking, and
loves her job as a journalist for a Florida lifestyle magazine. Emma
knows she’s no great beauty, but she’s pretty certain she has a shot
with her handsome new boss, Ben Gallagher—until Emma overhears a mutual
acquaintance refer to her as the “ugly friend.” In an effort to reclaim
her battered self-esteem, Emma decides to impress Ben at work by
promising an exclusive interview with NASCAR legend, Trip Monroe.
Emma and Trip went to high school
together and although it’s been fourteen years since they’ve spoken,
Emma is certain she can score an interview with the elusive super star.
But connecting with Trip turns out to be harder than Emma imagined. Her
quest for the interview leads her back to her tiny hometown of Catfish
Cove, where old secrets and a new romantic interest shake up Emma’s
views on life and teach her that maybe the key to finding true love is
as simple as accepting yourself for the person you were always meant to
be.

Join me and the darling, talented, funny, wonderful Roxanne St. Claire tonight at the Forever Romance Book Club Chat! We'll be online from 8:00 EST to 9:00 EST, chatting up a storm and talking about motherhood, friendships, and second chances. And we'll be giving away lots of signed books as prizes! If you haven't read BAREFOOT IN THE SAND yet, a) you should, you'll love it. And b) it's okay, because we'll be talking about HOT UNDER PRESSURE too!

Fun! Okay, here goes:
"But I want you to know, that's not why I came here. I'm not looking for a handout. I’ve got a decent job at the Empire Arms, even if my boss is kind of a dick. I can take care of myself and my kid."
Jo didn’t doubt that. But she was also aware that the timing of this long-awaited visit was no coincidence. No matter what Maddie said, a big part of her reasons for coming to Sanctuary now were pretty close to the reasons Jo had first come here to live with Aunt Dottie when she hit rock bottom all those years ago.
I got a precious few advance copies of Hot Under Pressure, hot off the presses! It looks so pretty in person, you guys. I'm a little obsessed. And I want to spread the obsession, so I'm giving one away this week! One lucky person won't have to wait until March 27th to get their hands on Beck. Rowr!

"San Francisco scenery, delicious menus, and warm relationships finish Edwards's Recipe for Love trilogy on a high note...A warm and authentic tearjerker." --Publishers Weekly
“Edwards brings her Rising Star Chef trilogy to an extraordinarily entertaining conclusion with a captivating second chance-at-romance story that is expertly leavened with a delicious wit and generously spiced with sensuality.” --Booklist

It's Wednesday, and I feel like giving something away. And have I ever got a treat for y'all! Two, count them, TWO, signed copies of Zoe Archer's Devil's Kiss--the very first book in her brand new, scorching hot, fast-paced historical romantic adventure Hell Raisers series.
The Hell Raisers are the ultimate bad boys: a group of 18th century rakes who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of pleasure--even if it costs them their souls! In the first book, which got the coveted Top Pick rating from RT Book Reviews, we meet...
A HANDSOME DEVIL
1762. James Sherbourne, Earl of Whitney, is a gambling man. Not for the money. But for the thrill, the danger—and the company: Whit has become one of the infamous Hellraisers, losing himself in the chase for adventure and pleasure with his four closest friends.
Which is how Whit finds himself in a gypsy encampment, betting against a lovely Romani girl. Zora Grey’s smoky voice and sharp tongue entrance Whit nearly as much as her clever hands—watching them handle cards inspires thoughts of another kind...
Zora can’t explain her attraction to the careless blue-eyed Whit. She also can’t stop him and his Hellraisers from a fiendish curse: the power to grant their own hearts’ desires, to chase their pleasures from the merely debauched to the truly diabolical. And if Zora can’t save Whit, she still has to escape him…
In addition to the fabulous signed copies of the book, I've also got two sets of Zoe's gorgeous Hell Raisers romance trading cards to give away! Keep reading to find out how to enter:

I grew up in Virginia, went to school in Philadelphia, spent five years in Manhattan, then moved to a teeny town in Ohio. Now I live in fabulous, funky, fun Austin, Texas, which is very inspiring...
Once an editor of romance novels, now I'm writing my own. My Recipe for Love series combines contemporary romance with my love of food, restaurants, and smokin' hot chefs!
