Happy Birthday to Our HEA Lover!
Happy Birthday to our wonderful Caroline. Usually we post our bday wishes here but this morning–well, in the middle of the night–we here at Book Lovers Inc got a message from the future. The email included a document that describes Caro’s future adventures, and we thought why not post it today in addition to our usual birthday squeeing. So here is your chance to take a look into Caro’s upcoming years.
_________
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (or not so far, if you’re anywhere near France), the lovely princess Caroline sat in her tower, waiting for her true love. A prophecy had been delivered at her birth that a handsome prince would rescue her and give her the ‘Happily Ever After’ she sought.
One day, as Caro was searching for a new book to read, she knocked her knitting basket …

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 was how Whit found 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 …

Since we started the final countdown to Christmas and yes since we’re hosting a Holiday Challenge (HERE), we thought we should take a look at covers of Holiday/Xmas themed new releases. We’ll take you on an adventure from Sexy contemp to historical romance, from Paranormal to Small Town romance…let’s see what publishers think looks Xmasy 😉 Be prepared of all the stars, christmas trees and other seasonal tropes.
Sexy contemp romances:
Susi: Okay first thing: I so don’t like the font on the Cari Quinn cover and when they use snowflakes in red it doesn’t look very nice. In all the cover is just too full and the christmas baubles looked more like eggs on first sight. LOL Made me go a bit O_o
Hmm, the Kennedy cover is just christmasy cuz the title has christmas in it. …

Welcome to the 2nd day of Book Lovers Inc Advent Calendar. Each day we will offer you one great read in a giveaway on all 24 days till Christmas.

This series is a real ‘Coup de Coeur’ for me and I hope you’ll have the chance to enjoy it too. I always say this series has a little something more that other UF series don’t have.

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Welcome to a new week of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week’s topic pretty much jumped at our feet! It’s by pure chance that I saw a pretty review copy of Fool Moon on Netgalley and I knew I had to read it! I just couldn’t look away from such a pretty cover. So it was only logical that we would start talking about graphic novel covers with you today! We chose covers of series we know and loved/hated.
Susi: The Dresden cover is awesome. When I compare that to the usual old Dresden covers- let’S say it’s just wow. I have never read any of the Dresden books so I can’t say iof the guy fits the descriptions but well this cover …

Pride & Passion by Charlotte Featherstone
Book blurb:
They each have their secrets but what they share is passion.
Lucy Ashton had long ago given up her quest for true love. In the rarified society of Victorian England, Lucy plays the game – flirting, dancing and dabbling in the newly fashionable spiritualism. Even marrying when – and who – she’s supposed to. If the stuffy Duke of Sussex cannot spark the passion she craves, he can as least give her a family, a home of her own, and a place to belong. When her polite marriage reveals a caring and sensual man, Lucy begins to wonder if she can indeed have it all.
But Lord Sussex is not the man the London ton has come to admire. And Lucy has some ghosts of her own, as well. Thus, when a …

Guestpost: Publishing Today – No Boundaries – All Options by M.J. Rose
Today we are happy to welcome author M.J. Rose at Book Lovers Inc. She’s an international bestselling author of numerous thrillers and mysteries who now decided to actually dare something new. She selfpublished a book full of fan fictions written by a published author. Today she will tell us about her choice to self-publish. Let’s give her a warm welcome!
In 1998 I self-published online in order to get a traditional deal.
I was taught to think outside the box. Before my grandfather was one of the original Mad Men, he and a group of other Air Force Intelligence officers formalized brainstorming as a problem solving technique. He taught the concept that creativity can be taught at Buffalo University. My dad invented toys. My mom was a photographer.
So when my agent told me that while publishers loved a lot about my work they …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Herzlich Willkommen everyone to this weeks edition of coversnark. We will venture into the deep and ugly sphere of German book covers. You will see the unbelievable today (not joking here) but we also got some nice ones in tow to soften the damage we will cause your eyes.
We advice to read on with caution- you will never be able to undo the damage. Keep in mind that no authors had a say in these covers and we should all offer our condolences for them.
Caro: I’m not really sure why the publishers still think adding bats is a good idea. Yes we get it, these are vampire books O_o Sadly none of the Brothers can turn into bats. *sigh* The covers aren’t ‘Bad’ but I’m …
