Guest post by Maggie Robinson + Giveaway
It is a great pleasure to welcome back to Book Lovers Inc. Maggie Robinson, author of many deliciously steamy historical romance series like the Courtesan Court or London List series. Maggie stops by BLI today to tell us about her brand new series, the Ladies Unlaced series, and more particularly its first book: In the Arms of the Heiress! In the Arms of the Heiress is a fake marriage trope in a historical setting, and since I just LOVE the fake engagement/marriage one, I was curious to know what made Maggie choose it? Why did she want to write a fake marriage story in a historical romance? So please give a warm welcome to Maggie and read on, you could even win a copy of the novel!
Thanks so much for having me here! While I am totally honest (unless I really have to lie), I’ve always been …

Guest Post with Sarah Castille + Giveaway
We’re happy to welcome romance author Sarah Castille to Book Lovers Inc., who stops by today to tell you a bit about her debut novel Legal Heat a scorching hot legal thriller/romantic suspense I devoured in no time (you can check out my review here). So take a seat and meet Katy and Mark the heroine and hero of Legal Heat and crank up that fan! 😉
When I decided to write Legal Heat I knew it had to be about lawyers. I’ve been a lawyer for many years, at many firms and in many places. And the things that go on behind closed doors…well, I just had to share them!
But first I needed a heroine.
Someone strong but vulnerable. Flawed but not broken. No silver spoons for Katy. She had to work hard to become a senior associate in her law firm. Throw in a little baggage in …

It’s so hard to believe it’s July already. My kids have been out of school since the last week of May. Since then, I took them to the beach for a week, finished a book, took them to visit their dad cross-country, edited a different book, went back home and packed up all our belongings and moved us to Wisconsin.

For our inaugural meeting, we will take a close look at Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels’ World. Ilona is among the more considerate authors out there, as she has given various others a chance to shine while Kate and Curran are recuperating (Andrea, Dali, and Julie), but that consideration is no excuse! There are still a plethora of magnificent characters in post-magicpocalypse Atlanta that are …

Hey Everyone!
Sorry this post is so late but I have a reason: well practically I was too busy having fun to bother (LOL 😉 ), but with full disclosure: it was my best friend’s birthday Friday and we have been celebrating (and partying) all weekend long, so I wasn’t home near my laptop. My best friend turned 29 and she felt it as a death sentence, so I was busy cheering her up, but happy to report: mission accomplished and we had a blast!

Drinking Tropes: Dragon Bound (to the ER)
Quite a number of individuals argued that dragons prefer debauchery to all other past-times (such as amassing treasure, devouring their enemies, or acquiring the knowledge of the universe).
I beg to differ. Thankfully, Fangs for the Fantasy invented the perfect medium through which to survive this endeavor. The Paranormal Romance Drinking Game. A true stroke of genius. For every trope, we drink. Huzzah!*
Raise a glass for Thea Harrison’s Dragon Bound, and join me as we drunkenly dive into the world of the Elder Races. Spoilers (and drunken rambling) Ahead!
