Notice: I have been called out of the country until the 15th. Hopefully I won’t have internet issues and will be able to select my random winner on the 14th as planned. Prizes will go out on the 16th.
Thank you for all the great comments. I’m loving reading about the couples I also enjoy and am taking notes on the new to me couples. Cheers and Happy Valentines Day!
Hello friends and new visitors. Valentines day is all about love–giving and receiving and especially about celebrating ROMANCE! To do my part, and hopefully welcome new (and regular) visitors to my blog, I’d like to giveaway a copy of my anthology Midnight Seduction from Evernight Publishing:
A lucky thirteen authors have crafted stories to make your toes curl, your heart race and your breath be pulled from you in a sigh. I won’t mention other physical effects their stories might have. Suffice to say, you’ll want to do some romantic celebrating afterwards.
Here’s the blurb from my contribution to Midnight Seduction, “Last Call for Love”:
Penelope (Penn) is in love with a man she has denied herself for two years, not just because they are baseball teammates and good friends. Penn is a succubus, a demon creature sustained by sex, and the men she sleeps with must be mind-wiped after she feeds. Breaking the only law of her kind means death for the both the succubus and her man. When Penn succumbs in a weak moment, she has only hours left before she will be forever erased from Joe’s memory or destroyed.
In the meantime, to further whet your appetite, I’d also like to recommend my forthcoming debut novel, The P.U.R.E., a romantic suspense that’s heavy on the romance with a twisty, turn-y mystery woven in too. It releases April 16, 2012, perfect for winding down after tax day if you’re in the U.S. So, to arm you with funds in plenty of time for release day (book will be in Kindle, Nook and other e-reader formats in addition to trade paperback), I’m also offering a $10 gift e-card from either Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
To enter, please honor me with:
- A comment naming your favorite fictional couple or couples (because for many it’s hard to choose just one) and the book that features them
- A “Like” of my Facebook author page for Lila Shaw
- A “Like” of my Facebook author page for Claire Gillian
- Earn an extra chance if you add The P.U.R.E. to your “to be read” shelf at Goodreads (leave your Goodreads account name in the comment with your entry)
That’s it!
I’ll randomly select one lucky winner on Valentine’s Day (2/14) to receive BOTH the copy of Midnight Seduction AND the gift e-card.
After you comment here, please hop on over to the other participants for more chances to win some literary love! The list of participants is HERE:

Curran and Kate from Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews and Mercy and Adam from River Marked by Patricia Briggs. They’re both series and in both the characters accept each other they way they are and the characters make no apologies for being who and what they are. (A female assassin and female mechanic with grease permanently under her nails.)
I liked both FB pages and add The P.U.R.E. to my Good reads sehlf, all under Anne M.

My all time favorite couple is Allie and Noah from The Notebook. Their chemistry jumped off the pages of the book. Loved the movie too – Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling portrayed the characters’ connection beautifully. What a perfect V-Day rental!
Have a fantastic Blog Hop, Lila!
