Valentine's Day Contest (Free books)

Since it's Valentine’s Day I wanted to do something special. I'm cleaning out the bookshelves (again) for my hubby and decided to turn this normally sad process into a contest. Why is that a good thing for you? It’s very simple. In honor of this holiday tell me who your favorite romantic couple is and why, and your name gets entered into the contest. Your favorite couples don't have to be from a book. They can be from a movie, tv show, whatever, but I am more partial to books. (Or, you can join my newsletter and automatically be entered into every contest from now on.)

Two winners will get to pick two books each from the following list of books. The first name drawn will get first choice. Winner's will be announced next Friday!

Tempting the Prince – Patricia Grasso (Autographed - Zebra)
The Italian – Elaine Coffman (Mira)
Wicked Woman – Denise Eagan (Zebra)
Bite Me if You Can – Lynsay Sands (Avon)
Make Me a Match – Diana Holquist (Warner)
The Supplicant – Lucinda Betts (Autographed – Aphrodisia line)
Traceless – Debra Webb (St. Martins ARC)
The Forbidden Enchantment – Nina Burns (Silhouette RS)
To School A Cowboy – Susan Shay (Wild Rose Press)
Alpha Exiled – Lorie O’Clare (Ellora’s Cave)
Blood Lines – Kit Tunstall (Ellora’s Cave)
Murder List – Julie Garwood (Ballantine)
Desperado – Diana Palmer (Mira)

As stated above, if you join my newsletter you’ll be automatically entered into any contest I have and starting today, I plan to have a contest every month. I’m embarrassed to say that half of these have never been read so many of them are basically new. A good lot of them have been gifts, etc. or I’ve gotten as extras at book signings and I’ve come to the realization I’m not going to be making a dent in this pile anytime soon. This list will also change every month b/c I'll be adding more books. I usually donate to the library, but I’d love giving these to people I know want them.

Feel free to spread the word and if you do post this somewhere else, let me know and I'll enter you twice :)

favorite couple, hands down is, Rhett and Scarlett I know they don't have the happiest times but by damn it they need and deserve each other. I wished it had gone better for them but than again it wouldn't have been the same!

PS Love the new look!

Thanks, I've been looking for something pre-designed for a while (as I'm not so creative in that department).

HI! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Since I'm currently on a Twilight fix and love Edward I'll have to say my favorite couple is Edward and Bella (even though I'm not real fond of Bella). Great blog!

Great idea for a contest. I should clear out my boxes of books that are brand spanking new. Some are even autographed...maybe when life settles down a bit, I will start my giveaways.

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're having a wonderful one!

Elizabeth & Darcy....but Rhett & Scarlett (from the book, not the movie) are a close second.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Favorite couple has to be Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and coming in a close second is Eve and Roarke from the J.D. Robb series.

All great couples! Can't believe I forgot to mention my favorites too :) Elizabeth & Darcy seem like a given *g*. Michael Stirling & Francesca Brigerton from When He Was Wicked are definitely one of my faves :)
