arthur Laurens

Though we draw readers from around the world, this site is based in the United States and today is Election Day here in a number of states. So – we have a special little giveaway for you with not one, but two, prizes on the ballot.

First up, we have a copy of Keri Arthur’s latest release, Bound to Shadows, to give away. This is the eighth novel in the Riley Jenson series, which several of our reviewers have enjoyed in the past. If you haven’t read this series, you’re missing some good books!

And your other choice? We have 2 copies of The Untamed Bride by Stephanie Laurens for giveaway. Laurens has created her own world for her characters through the Cynster novels and the somewhat related Bastion Club. Now, with The Untamed Bride, she begins a new series called The Black Cobra Quartet. Though set in the same world as her previous books, these books can be read independently.

To enter, simply comment below and let us know which book you’re entering to win – or whether you’re entering for both. The Untamed Bride can be shipped to US, Canada and UK addresses only. However, Bound to Shadows can be shipped worldwide. This giveaway is open from now until 7:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 5, 2009, at which time I’ll turn things over to random.org to get our winners. Many thanks to Keri Arthur and Stephanie Laurens for donating these prizes!

Karen Ranney Giveaway!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

When readers think of emotional reads, Karen Ranney’s name is often mentioned. She even did a piece here at AAR on the two-hanky read. Karen Ranney’s latest book, A Scotsman in Love, has just been released by Avon. If you’d like a chance to win it, along with a copy of The Devil Wears Tartan and signed bookplates, just comment to this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, May 7, 2009. A few caveats: This contest is open only to U.S. residents. Also, this contest is designed to get books into the hands of readers who would not otherwise have them, so if you review for another website and have access to the ARCs or finished books through that site, please don’t enter. We can’t fully police this, so use the honor system.

Now, let’s get commenting!
