But sometimes headstrong personalities that collide in public become hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private."

Stumbling Over Chaos's Contest of BABEL

Stolen from Stumbling Over Chaos's blog...

"In an email exchange with dixygirl yesterday, I coined the term BABLE (Book Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy, obviously riffed from SABLE, Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy), then promptly modified it to BABEL (Book Acquisition Beyond Expected Life)… although I quite like BABBLE (Book Acquisition Beyond Believed Life Expectancy), too. What do you think? (Beyond realizing that I’m obviously not knitting very much, eh, Marina?)

Anyway. Getting back on track, that email exchange gave me the idea for a contest. I have this ginormous stack of books that I’ve accumulated through various means: being at the library’s withdrawn store or the thrift store without an inventory of my library, accidentally buying a duplicate, receiving a duplicate, or intentionally buying a duplicate because I liked the book and hoped to pass it on to someone.

Comment on this post before 7 pm CDT, Thursday, June 18, for your chance to win some of the books pictured below. I’ll randomly select at least three winners (maybe more, depending on whim and response). Most of the books are used. Unsurprisingly, should you win, your books will likely include some amount of cat fur."

When she left him, she stole an important charm - and he will stop at nothing to reclaim it. Now Alan has been marked with the sign of death by the magician's demon, and only Nick can save him. But to do so he must face those he has fled from all his life - the magicians - and kill them. So the hunted becomes the hunter...but in saving his brother, Nick discovers something that will unravel his whole past..."

Diana Rowland Interview and Contest at Bitten By Books Blog

Bitten By Books has an interview up with Diana Rowland and her new novel "The Mark of the Demon". This is the first book by this author and sounds like it's going to be a big hit and kick off to a fab new series. Here's the blurb for the book...

"When Homicide Detective Kara Gillian finds traces of arcane power on a body, she quickly realizes that this is no ordinary murder. The serial killer known as the Symbol Man is a nightmare that Beaulac, Louisiana thought had ended three years ago, but now he's back for an encore and leaving every indication on the flesh of his victims that he is well-versed in demonic lore.

However, Kara is a Summoner of Demons, and may be the only cop on the city's small force who can stop the killer. Able to see and interact with a world most people can't, Kara must draw on her skills as a police officer and master of the arcane to stop the Symbol Man from killing again and possibly summoning something even she can't control.

But with a demonic lord of unearthly beauty and power haunting her dreams, and a handsome yet disapproving FBI agent dogging her waking footsteps, she may be in way over her head.... "

Does that sound like a great blurb or what? Want a chance to win this book? How about a chance to win an Amazon gift card? Either way, if you win, you get the book right? Well head on over to Bitten By Books and comment TODAY June 11th for a chance to win. Good luck!

Janicu Gives Away a Gail Carriger ARC

Stolen from Janicu's Book Blog...

Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate) by Gail Carriger

I’ve read about 80 pages into this ARC. The setting is Victorian London, but there are supernatural creatures mixed in with High Society. The heroine is amusing me - she smacks a vampire with a parasol, and then screams and fakes a faint (somehow landing on a pillow of course). And the hero is both a Lord and a grouchy werewolf!

It. is. AWESOME. You want this book. You do.

Here’s the blurb:

“Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she’s a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she is being rudely attacked by a vampire to whom she has not been properly introduced!

Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire, and the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible.

Can she figure out what is actually happening to London’s high society?

Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing?

Who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?”

The book comes out in October, but you can read it earlier, because I got an extra copy of the ARC at BEA! All you have to do to win it is please send an email to janicu[AT]gmail[DOT]com. I will send the book outside the US, so anyone can enter. I’ll draw a name next friday (June 12th).

When the Oceanic Council demands she and Reel retrieve a lost cache of diamonds from the resident sea monster in return for their lives, she knows she's died and gone to Hell.
When they escape the monster and end up on a deserted island, she amends her opinion - she's died and gone to Heaven.
But when Reel sacrifices himself to allow her to return to her world, she realizes that, Heaven or Hell, with Reel, she's In Over Her Head."

Number One Novels Contest with Anna Katherine

I've just discovered the blog Number One Novels. I wish I had known of this blog sooner because they look to have some great interviews and contests happening there. Right now the contest is for the book "Salt and Silver" by Anna Katherine Here's a snippet from Number One Novel's interview with Anna that tells you a little about the book....

"Number One Novels: Congratulations on the publication of your first book! Tell me a little about it—what's your pitch?

Anna Katherine: Allie’s telling you a very simple story: There’s a Door to Hell in her diner’s basement. It spits out demons, and there’s a demon hunter, Ryan, hanging around to kill them. This has been going on for six years, plus or minus a little long-term crush Allie’s been harboring for Ryan. That’s the status quo when the book starts. Except, as she’s telling you this story, everything takes a left turn—her Door’s gone missing. Ryan has to go investigate, and Allie’s damned if she’s going to let him do it alone.
Salt and Silver's a paranormal romance, but it could just as easily fit onto an urban fantasy shelf. New York City—or rather, the surrounding boroughs—are almost characters in and of themselves. The magic, and most of the demons, are based on real-life folklore, folk magic, and magic theory, and there’s a classic “hero’s journey” through nine Hells to try and solve the mystery."

Does that sound like a book you want to read or what? Then visit and comment for your chance to win. Contest ends June 7th. Good Luck!

"A Hint of Wicked" Giveaway!

Emily is giving away a copy of Jennifer Haymore's "A Hint of Wicked" over at her blog Scorched Sheets. Want to know more about the book? Here's what Emily has about it on her blog...

"What happens when a lady desires not one man, but two?" asks the back cover copy.

I suppose the answer depends upon the lady.

Sophie, Duchess of Calton, never dreamed she would find herself in the midst of such a dilemma. Her beloved husband Garrett, lost years ago in battle, has finally been declared dead by the courts and his holdings have been transferred to his heir. The world has moved on, and while Sophie has not buried her love for her deceased husband, she has allowed herself to grow a new love and for his heir and her lifelong friend Tristan.

Life, however, is not meant to be easy for Sophie. Not long after she and Tristan marry, a dead man appears in the middle of the night to wrench Sophie's new husband from her arms. Within moments, her painstakingly-rebuilt household is overrun by chaos - Tristan is banished to a guest room, Sophie is forbidden from leaving the house, and Garrett...well, Garrett is hardly Garrett at all.

Utilizing an interesting mix of Gothic themes and Regency sensibilities, Jennifer Haymore thrusts her characters into a complex, impossible situation. Sophie loves both men with equal intensity, but different hearts; Tristan aches for the woman he has long loved and the friend who will never give her up; and Garrett needs his wife, the only face he remembers and the only voice keeping him from a madness he does not understand.

As they struggle to keep themselves strong, all three characters face sacrifices and make mistakes. Sophie, Garrett and Tristan engage in a series of actions that parallel the underlying threads of warfare woven through the story. Casualties from Waterloo rise to play important roles and new victims fall, and much like the outcome of battles and wars, victories are bittersweet and winning is hardly winning at all.

So...what does happen when a lady desires not one man, but two?"

Interested in winning this book? Did I mention this is an autographed copy? Just visit Scorched Sheets and answer Emily's question for a chance to win. Good luck!
