Win a Signed Sherry Thomas ARC: Special Bonus Book Giveaway Contest
This contest is now closed.
You loved Private Arrangements. (I certainly did.) And you've been waiting with varying degrees of patience for July 29th, the day her second book - intriguingly called Delicious - will be published. Thanks to Sherry Thomas' fantabulous generosity, one of you won't have to wait much longer.
Here's how it works: To enter to win an ARC of Delicious, just comment on this blog entry by midnight east coast time on Thursday, June 19th. The winner will be chosen at random from everyone who comments and revealed here on Friday morning. Just how random is random? My cat Rufus has many talents, but reading isn't one of them. The names will be written on individual strips of paper and placed on the floor for Rufus' careful contemplation. The person whose name is written on the strip he chooses to play with gets the ARC - personally signed by the author.
And, just to prolong the fun a little bit, here's the blurb:
Love has a flavor all its own.…
Famous in Paris, infamous in London, Verity Durant is as well-known for her mouthwatering cuisine as for her scandalous love life. But that’s the least of the surprises awaiting her new employer when he arrives at the estate of Fairleigh Park following the unexpected death of his brother.
The lawyer Stuart Somerset worked himself up from the slums of Manchester to become one of the rising political stars of England’s Parliament. To him, Verity Durant is just a name and food is just food, until her first dish touches his lips. Only one other time had he felt such pure arousal—a dangerous night of passion with a stranger, a young woman who disappeared at dawn. Ten years is a long time to wait for the main course, but when Verity Durant arrives at his table, there’s only one thing that will satisfy Stuart’s appetite for more. But is his hunger for lust, revenge—or that rarest of delicacies, love? For Verity’s past has a secret that could devour them both even as they reach for the most delicious fruit of all.…
Quite honestly, I've read it and it's good. Make that very, very good. Want to win it? Get commenting. (BTW, this is the first in an occasional series of random ARC contests to go right along with our regular Monday book giveaways. You never know when one will appear.)
I would love to win a copy of Delicious, I loved the writing in Private
Arrangements, just not the hero. He frustrated me endlessly!
I'm waiting on pins and needles for the release of this book. Loved Private
arrangements. I'm excited that this book is about food and cooking. And the
fact that the H/H know each other from their past is intriging!
I loved Private Arrangements and would love to have Delicious. I have
already re-read the little excerpt for Delicious at the back of my copy of
Private Arrangements multiple times in anticipation!
private arrangement was a wonderful book .I cant wait to read delicious.
I too loved Private Arrangements and I have been eagerly awaiting Ms.
Thomas' next book. And she has tossed in food? I can hardly wait.
Can't wait to read Delicious! Thomas is the first new author I've been
excited about in years!
I can't wait to read this, so if entries from outside te US are allowed,
I'd love to enter!
I'm waiting for Delicious to come out. An ARC would be beyond cool.
I'd LOVE to win a copy of Delicious! Sherry is such an amazing talent!
I would love to win an ARC of Delicious - who doesn't need more good books
to read? ;)
I can't wait to read Delicious - sign me up!
Whoa, this would be great! I loved Private Arrangements.
I would like to enter. Private Arrangements was one of the best books I
have read this year. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Delicious.
I would love to win this book. I am reading Private Arrangements currently
and enjoying it.
Private Arrangements was very promising. Looking forward to Delicious.
Oooh, the excerpt sounds...dare I say DELICIOUS! ;) I want more, so sign
me up for the drawing.
Whoa, this would be awesome. I loved Private Arrangements.
I was so surprised at the depth of Private Arrangements. I felt so much
reading that book. A lot of it was hard to read because it was quite
painful. I still think about the scene when the two mains are on different
boats but see each other. That scene was amazingly written. Please pick
me Rufus!
I would love to win a copy of this. It sounds great!
Would love to get the ARC, count me in! tWarner419@aol.com
I would love to win this ARC. Sherry's first book is one of the best books
I have read in the last year.
Sounds excellent! I'll be watching out for it. :)
Can't wait for this book! I only read PA a few months ago and already want
to reread it.
Could I send my cats over to talk to Rufus about why he should pick my
entry? I liked "Private Arrangements", and "Delicious" sounds like
another book that goes beyond the standard romance stereotypes.
How exciting! I enjoyed Private Arrangements and would love to read
Delicious.
I love Private Arrangements! So, please enter my name for a chance to win
Delicious. Thanks!
I would love to win a copy. Please count me in!
Very talented cat helping you out.
HERE KITTY, KITTY!! Puhleeze pick me... I enjoyed "Private Arrangements"
more than any book in a long while and am very much looking forward to
"Delicious'! The short description of the new book looks very good. Keep
'em coming Sherry Thomas!
Count me as a Sherry Thomas fan; I liked "Private Arrangments" and am
looking forward to "Delicious". Also, ARC's are extra fun: besides getting
to read the good stuff early, I was able to complete weird out a coworker
with a "Heart Thief" ARC from Robin Owens a while back.
It sounds very, very good! I'd love to win and then have it for my "keeper"
collection.
Eee yes a giveaway for my most anticipated book of the year (after PA, that
is ;)
I would love to win this book!!! Please pick me.
I've never read an ARC before, maybe now is the time :-)
I'd love to get it sooner than later. Private Arrangements was a great
debut book, like her voice.
OOOH!!! I would so love to win this book. I've heard it is a great read.
Oh Boy!!!! I want that copy. I will be out of town on the day that the
book is released and have mapped the nearest borders for the release of
Delicous, Some Like it Wicked AND A Highlander Never Surrenders all
releasing the same day.
OK, potentially winning a Sherry Thomas ARC will lure me out of lurkdom!
This is the only new author I've been excited about all year. Thanks again
for the heads-up, Sandy!
ok- I'll try for it. Liked Private Arrangement and this one sounds even
better- I keep thinking of the movie 'Chocolat'- yum.
I very much enjoyed PA, except for the 10 year separation. I'd like to see
if Ms. Thomas's potential extends to her second book.
I adored Private Arrangements...my fingers are crossed in every way for
this ARC! How generous of her!
Would love to win - Rufus, don't forget your crush - I'll put in a good
word if you pick me!
Oh, how I would love to win Delicious. I was crazy for Private
Arrangements! I will be in the boonies on vacation when Delicious comes
out and so not happy about having to wait to buy it. To take it on
vacation, now that would be just delicious!
I'm feeling lucky...and would love a copy of Delicious! I thought Private
Arrangements was very well done.
Delicious would be a wonderful book to enjoy. Thanks for this great
giveaway. Thanks for the enticing blurb.
Loved Private Arrangement and definitely plan to read Delicious! I'm
greatful for wonderful new writers like Sherry.
Delicious sounds like a really great book. I can't wait to read it.
