Happy Endings Giveaway Hop - INT #Hegiveaway

This giveaway hop is perfect for romantics and is hosted by reading-romances.com. I love books with happy endings! My giveaway is a choice of either Sugar Springs by Kim Law or Tucker's Crossing by Marina Adair. Both are second chance stories and feature a hero named Cody :) Or Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis. I will be gifting this from Amazon.com and this is open to anyone who can accept a Kindle book.

Sugar Springs by Kim Law
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Lee Ann London once had big plans…scholarship, college, love. Then she found herself raising her deceased sister’s twin girls when their father disappeared. Now, with her beautiful girls, a community that depends on her, and her photography studio finally taking off, Lee Ann may not have the life she’d imagined, but it’s definitely where she wants it. Until Cody, her bad-boy ex, returns to Sugar Springs.

Cody’s childhood put a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas. Bouncing around the foster care system, he was always the one to leave before anyone left him first. Then he found a place he wanted to stick. Lee Ann was the best thing that ever happened to him. Only, he hurt her. Bad. He’s back now, and determined to earn her forgiveness…and maybe win back her love while he’s at it.

Tucker's Crossing by Marina Adair
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Sweet Plains #1

Sweet Plains, Texas, wasn't so sweet to Cody, Noah, and Beau Tucker. But now the Tucker boys are men, ready to take on the questions that have haunted them since they left home. . .

Cody Tucker shook the dust of his two-bit hometown off his boots ten years ago--right about the time his college sweetheart, Shelby Lynn Harris, married his so-called best friend. But when his dad dies, Cody finds himself home again and knee deep in the past. Except now his rowdy beer buddy is the sheriff, his housekeeper is a blue-ribbon chili chef, and the family ranch is in the red. The only thing that hasn't changed is Shelby Lynn. . .

Shelby Lynn has gone through a lot of heartache thanks to Cody. But that's all over now. She just wants a chance to live the life she's made for herself in peace. The trouble is, the Sweet Plains chili cook off is heating up, the Ladies of Sweet are as riled as hornets, and as soon as Cody gets near, she's forgets all about peace. Cody is pure temptation--and she knows just how good it feels to give in. . .

Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Wilder #1

The first in a sensational new series, Jill Shalvis introduces Cameron, Stone, and T.J. Wilder--three bad-boy heroes who effortlessly mix breathtaking adventure and scorching sex appeal. . .

Get Wild. . .And Then Get Wilder. . .

Accountant Katie Kramer is a quintessential good girl--working hard, recycling diligently, all the while trying to ignore the feeling that she doesn't fit in anywhere. That's all she wants. Well, that--and amazing sex, and the kind of daredevil escapade she can look back on when she's crunching numbers in a dusty cubicle. Which explains why she just took a job in Wishful, California, working for Wilder Adventures and Expeditions. Waking up to find a magnificently built stranger towering over her bed--that part defies explanation. . .

Upcoming: Own the Wind by Kristen Ashley

I'm a huge fan of Kristen Ashely's books. I like that they are long, have alpha men like no other and have a wonderful romance to boot! I'm pretty excited to read her upcoming Own the Wind. It will be her first traditionally published new work and I'm curious to see how her voice stays the same, or changes - hopefully all for the better!

One thing I noticed on Amazon is that the pre-order for digital version will be avilable in April and the print copy all the way in June! That seems like a long time but I'm used to reading her books in digital format so April doesn't seem too bad. I haven't read all of her books yet so I can read those in the meanwhile.

What do you guys think? Does this sound good?

Own the Wind by Kristen Ashley

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Series: Chaos #1

Too hot to handle . . .

Tabitha Allen grew up in the thick of Chaos-the Chaos Motorcycle Club, that is. Her father is Chaos' leader, and the club has always had her back. But one rider was different from the start. When Tabby was running wild, Shy Cage was there. When tragedy tore her life apart, he helped her piece it back together. And now, Tabby's thinking about much more than friendship . . .

Tabby is everything Shy's ever wanted, but everything he thinks he can't have. She's beautiful, smart, and as his friend's daughter, untouchable. Shy never expected more than friendship, so when Tabby indicates she wants more-much more-he feels like the luckiest man alive. But even lucky men can crash and burn . . .

Review: My One and Only by Kristan Higgins

I think this was my second book by Kristan Higgins and My One and Only is one of my favorite contemporary romances. It's sweet, funny and entertaining, which sums up all of Higgins's books. I especially adored this one because of Harper and Nick. They had their chance at love, it didn't work and now in this story it's their second chance. I definitely wanted them to find their happily ever after. Harper seems so cynical when it comes to love, whereas Nick easily expresses his love. He needs her and lets her know it. He also gets her and that scares her. Despite their imperfections I did see them being right for each other and enjoyed their journey towards love. Expect fun moments and lots of cool characters.

My One and Only by Kristan Higgins

Genre: Contemporary Romance


Divorce attorney Harper James can't catch a break. Bad enough that she runs into her ex-hubby, Nick, at her sister's destination wedding, but now, by a cruel twist of fate, she's being forced to make a cross-country road trip with him. And her almost-fiancé back at home is not likely to be sympathetic.

 Harper can't help that Nick has come blazing back into her life in all of his frustratingly appealing, gorgeous architect glory. But in Nick's eyes, Harper's always been the one. If they can only get it right this time, forever might be waiting—just around the bend.

A Random Giveaway

Happy Monday!

I know a new year started two weeks ago but already it feels like it's flying by. That's a scary thought! So, I woke up today, found some pretty good deals that I picked up (can't resist those) and wanted to share them with my followers. Normally, when it comes to buying books I try to stick to a budget. I regularly check out books from the library, try to buy used and refrain from buying books that I won't read in the near future. But when I see a good deal I have to snatch them up and the deals I found today is one of the best ones I can recall.

Have you guys heard about Harlequin's new imprint? The Harlequin Kiss line? I love the covers. They are so vibrant, fresh and evoke the Summer season. They are category romances which tend to be on the price-friendly side but I think the publisher is having a promotion with this new line because the prices are really, really good. And these are for print copies!

You can pre-order them from The Book Depository and shipping is free worldwide.

The One that Got Away

How To Get Over Your Ex

The Downfall of a Good Girl

Hitched

 

They all sound sweet and romantic but the one that caught my interest the most is The One That Got Away by Kelly Hunter. I'm a fan of second chance stories.
