I’m not sure what season is best for steamy hot reads. Are they best suited to hot summer days where you’re already steaming, or cold winter nights when you need something to warm you up?
I’m not sure it matters, but this summer I’ve been reading more romances again (But not too many. Within my eclectic reading, I do go through phases. I’ve learned to spread out my reading, otherwise I’ll get tired of a genre, and I’m having too much fun to let that happen!).
I’ve read (and enjoyed) two of the books in this giveaway, so I jumped at the chance to share it with you. These two were very different (contemporary romantic suspense and historical romance), and the other 3 each have their own style. To Surrender to a Rogue and Deadly Fear both featured interesting characters, some very spicy scenes, and a readable plot to tie it all together. I’ll bet the other three do as well.
In this collection, we have:
- FORBIDDEN PASSION By Rita Herron
- DEADLY FEAR By Cynthia Eden (my review)
- DARE TO SURRENDER By Lili Feisty
- TO SURRENDER TO A ROGUE By Cara Elliott (my review)
- RAVISHED BY A HIGHLANDER By Paula Quinn
To Enter
Hachette Books/Forever are allowing me to pick 3 winners of this collection.
Having an address (not a PO Box) in the US or Canada is a requirement. I’ll pick the winners on the evening of September 1, 2010.

- If you have additional entries (see below), you can leave them in the same comment, or a different one. Whatever you prefer.
- For an additional entry, let me know if you subscribe to my blog via a blog reader (RSS) or e-mail, or if you follow me on Twitter. Thank you to my current subscribers, Welcome if you are new to my blog.
- One more entry if you let other people know about this giveaway! On your blog, on Twitter, or another social site. Just leave a note.

I am a new follower on Google Reader on Blogspot. I thought I was already a follower as I’ve read your blog before . . . but I guess not!
I love romance and would love to win these books. I have a secret (or maybe not so secret) love for books about highlanders and would probably look the most forward to Ravished by a Highlander.
Thank-you for the great giveaway!
