The Saying Goodbye Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

Before you think I’m the one saying goodbye to YOU let me reassure you that’s not the case, you won’t get rid of me so easily 😉 No, it’s the end of summer and that means my little sister leaves home and returns to school. Abroad. 🙁 This year she’s doing an exchange program and will be studying in sunny Lisboa (Portugal), so you can guess where I’ll be spending my autumn holiday 😉

This time of the year is always a bit sad: after having spent months with her, doing all those special sister bonding stuff (from late night Smash marathons to Sunday afternoon bakings, from summer picnics to shopping sprees) it makes me sad that I won’t see her for months. I got so used to her being a phone call away and her stopping by my office for an impromptu lunch between sisters *sigh* Well, anyway I am glad …

Guest post by Robyn Thomas + Giveaway

Today we are happy to introduce you to Robyn Thomas, whose debut novel His Unexpected Family was realesed just last month in Entangled Publishing’s Indulgence line. I was curious to learn how His Unexpected Family came to be published and what the experience of getting THE CALL was like for Robyn, so I am glad to share her story with you and you could even win a copy of her book!

The Adventure of Getting Published

Getting published has been an enormous adventure for me. And absolutely worth it! Would I have started out on the journey if I knew what it was going to entail? Uh, no, probably not. But life is like that, and the things worth having inevitably take time and effort.

The very first time I submitted a story it caught an editor’s attention, and I thought I had it made. Could I write another story in the …

Guest post by Candace Havens + Giveaway

We are very happy to be part of Candace Havens’ Take it Like a Vamp blog tour, one of the first novels to debut Entangled Publishing’s new Covet line, woohoo!

When I learned I’d have the chance to sit down (even if only virtually) with Candace (and her characters) I knew I wanted to ask Nick (the sexy and irresistible vampire hero of Take it Like a Vamp) if he could share with us his tips on the  ways on how to avoid temptation (aka Casey Meyers) I knew his post would show you his humor, sexy charm and his inability to resist his cute neighbor, Casey.

Nick Christos Shares Five Ways To Avoid Temptation

Women are incredible. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they always smell so delightful. But there is one particular female, who is as close to perfect as they come. My downstairs neighbor, …

Romance and Me: What Happens in Vegas…

Hey Everyone!

I recently read The Officer Says “I Do” by Jeanette Murray which is a Vegas romance: hero and heroine meet one night in flashy Las vegas and under the influence of heavy booz and friends’ pressure to let loose they elope and tie the knot, only to awaken the next day and… but I won’t spoil the rest of the story, you’ll have to read it (or at least my review). 😉

But it got me thinking that I really love this trope (kind of like the modern equivalent of the beloved forced/arranged marriage in historical romances: the hero and heroine are tied together and have to get to know each other, fall in love but not in the usual chronology of a relationship which ends with marriage.

So I craved more and asked on Twitter if anyone had any …

The Birthday Winner Post!

Hey Everyone!

Tomorrow will by my birthday! And while I’m not overly fond of the date (and nope not because it means I’m 1 year older every year 😉 ) this year I’m enjoying it since my good friends and my little sister have a ton of surprise events planned and I’ll get some super delicious cake (salty caramel-banana-rosemary-pie) my lil’ sis will bake me, yum! 😀 Oh yeah, and since my birthday is also the national holiday (our 4th of July) I’ll also have some national fireworks lol 😀

So until tomorrow, while I’m still younger (;-) ) let’s announce those two winners who got lucky this week!

Blurb:

Out of sight, out of mind. Or so I thought, but it turns out an old, dog-eared book with contents so filthy and so depraved that I’d been forced to hide it after reading, has sank deeper into my erotic subconscious than I’d ever imagined. Luckily though, Jacob is up for exploring the new side of me that has risen to the surface after all these years.

In a whirlwind of wanton adventures that push us to the limits of our sexuality, we begin to re-discover what it once was that had us screaming with pleasure and how to accept that nothing will ever be the same again between …

Interview with Lily Harlem + FREE story

Thanks to review requests we sometimes discover little gem of stories and new favourite authors and that’s what happened to me when I had the chance of crossing paths with Lily Harlem‘s first novel in her steamy hockey players series, Hired. I knew she was an author I should keep my eyes on and since then she has proven me right. I loved her latest release That Filthy Book so much that it became a favourite book of 2012 (you can read my detailed review here)! So I am very happy that I could sit down with Lily and get to know her and her novels better. Please join me in welcoming Lily Harlem to Book Lovers Inc!

A Second Chance at Love––on the Run.

As a reader of romance, you may not know that there are hard and fast rules to writing in the romance genre. I did not know this myself until I joined an online critique group in 2009, and found out about all the rules I …
