Win a Lisa Kleypas ARC: Bonus Book Giveaway

posted Tuesday, 15 July 2008

This contest is now closed.

Yes, really and truly. 

Thanks to the tremendous generosity of Lisa Kleypas, I've got a signed copy of Seduce Me at Sunrise, her upcoming historical romance, ready to send to one lucky commenter.  All you have to do to enter for your chance to win is comment to this post before 11:59 pm eastern time on Thursday, July 17th.  The winner will be chosen from all the entries by Rufus the Cat (who, incidentally, can't be wheedled or cajoled on account of the fact that he can't read) and posted here on Friday morning.

Not that anybody needs to know more than the the headline  (Lisa.  Kleypas.  New.  Historical.), but here's what the publisher has to say about the September 30th release:

Kev Merripen has longed for the beautiful, well-bred Winnifred Hathaway ever since her family rescued him from the brink of death when he was just a boy. But this handsome Gypsy is a man of mysterious origins—and he fears that the darkness of his past could crush delicate, luminous Win. So Kev refuses to submit to temptation…and before long Win is torn from him by a devastating twist of fate.

Then, Win returns to England…only to find that Kev has hardened into a man who will deny love at all costs. Meantime, an attractive, seductive suitor has set his sights on Win. It’s now or never for Kev to make his move. But first, he must confront a dangerous secret about his destiny—or risk losing the only woman he has lived for…

(And, yes, the sexy Cam does make an appearance.  Or two.) 

All you need to do enter is comment to this post by Thursday at 11:59 pm, eastern time.  (Sorry, but this contest is only open to readers inside the U.S.).  And good luck to all.   (And, yes, it is a really, really good one.  Not that you needed me to tell you that or anything.)

I can't wait for this book to come out. I absolutely *love* Lisa Kleypas's tortured heroes especially when they are (so they think) hopelessly in love with the heroine. Ah!

I love the way Lisa Kleypas writes both her heroes and heroines. The way they learn to love each other without requiring absolute change by the end of the story. Her underdog heroes are my favorites and Kev has the potential of being a classic Kleypas hero. Kev and Win's introduction was more than a success... I cannot wait for their story!
