By 12 Comments

<—- AT LAST is right!!!! I woke up at 4am to check that it was on my iPad, read the prologue (ohhhh how I have missed J.R. Ward’s writing) and then promptly conked back out, with a satisfied smile on my face that this felt like home again. I can’t wait to get back to my book!!!

And look what else has come out! Big release day, today. Twice Tempted: A Night Prince Novel by Jeaniene Frost & Wolf with Benefits (The Pride Series) by Shelly Laurenston to name a few (I hear Shelly Laurenston’s books are hilarious!). Plus! A ton in the contemporary romance section (which includes of course, some erotica, mystery romance etc…). Look at this one —> THE SECRET LIFE OF A SUBMISSIVE by Sarah K (says it’s a true story), so I’ve downloaded the sample and shall give it a go.

Arianne Richmonde – The Pearl Trilogy Reading Order Guide

By 6 Comments

Another “Fifty Shades” genre that has been brought to my attention!

Rubi: I just finish reading forty shades of pearl trilogy. It was a really beautiful love story which held my attention . I could not put this book down!

Jodi: Maryse I have a book for you to squeeeee over! Just finished 40 Shades of Pearl and I loved it. I thought it was a 50 Shades wannabe but no the stories are different. It is a trilogy, the 2nd book just came out. Book number 2 is really good too. You should check them out.

Cherise: I have a book suggestion that I haven’t seen mentioned yet. It’s called 40 Shades of Pearl by Arianne Richmonde. It’s available on e-readers but not sure if it’s in print yet. It’s a good steamy read with the alpha male thing & he’s younger than the heroine.

About book #1:

Documentary producer, Pearl Robinson, is a beautiful and smart forty year-old divorcee but has not had a date for over two years. When she hears about Alexandre Chevalier, a young French, Internet success story, she assumes he is a nerd. But when she bumps into him face to face, she’s stunned by his charm, beauty and sophistication, and startled by her strong feelings and desire for a man fifteen years her junior. His looks, wealth and worldwide triumph with his social media site, HookedUp, means he can get any woman he chooses, but there is something about Pearl he finds irresistible…

The couple begins a passionate affair and Pearl’s body is awakened in ways she never imagined possible. She is consumed by him and his magical touch. But secrets, jealous family members and other external forces are threatening to pull them apart.

A “Just Because” Giveaway! I’m giving away a signed copy of Katja Millay’s “The Sea of Tranquility”

By 331 Comments

Just because this book rocked my world, and the author is one of the coolest, most awesome people ever, it’s time for a “just because” giveaway!

I have in my hands right now, a very rare signed PROOF of Katja Millay’s magnificent “The Sea of Tranquility“. This story is pure magic (the eloquent writing and the wondrous detail of two broken souls that find each other, absolutely captured me). It had me both reeling, and grinning ear-to-ear. And once I reached the end… just… WOW!!!! (Check out my review).

Everyone knows I loved this book with all of my heart and it will forever be one of my “Best of the Best”.

And a lucky commenter here will get THIS signed copy. This is a “galley” (a rare, uncorrected, not-for-sale proof), and did you know that you can’t even buy this book in print yet?

But I have a copy, right here! 😉 Oh yah!! And a cool matching (signed!!) bookmark, too!

How to enter for a chance to win this one? Just leave a comment below (or better yet, tell me what book you are most anxiously waiting to read), and tomorrow night (Monday March 25th, 2013) by 10pm EST, I will randomly select one winner.

The winner will be contacted and will have 48hrs to respond with a mailing address, so if you are picked, do not delay or you will lose your chance. Sorry for my international readers, this is a open to U.S. residents only (but you’re welcome to comment and join in any time!!).

And while you’re here, if you haven’t already joined me (actually “us”, ’cause we’re a big group now) on Facebook and Twitter, whatcha waiting’ for?!
