Oooh, wonderful choices! I have both of these so I'm not entering but I'll promote tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway. I've heard fabulous things about this series, and romantic adventure is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I read a book by Lauren was in The Seduction of the Crimson Rose and since it was after The History of the Pink Carnation had been released the local bookstore no longer carried it and it wasn't available at our local library.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that today we can now buy these stories in book form and many for an E-reader where years ago that wouldn't have been possible!
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway and giving me and all your readers a great story that helped Lauren kick off her wonderful career!
NOOOOOO! missed the rafflecopter!?! It's 12:07am 12/17/12 *pouts*
ReplyDeleteYou are having such a nice gieaway!
Merry Christmas anyways *smiles*
