Hop here to visit everyone:
And here’s the Rafflecopter to enter! Have a great time … and good luck!
Are you lucky enough to win an early read of Claim Me (Book 2 in the Stark Trilogy?) Enter the Rafflecopter below and find out.Do you love St. Patrick’s day? Do you chase rainbows to find the pot of gold at the end? What would make you feel lucky in love? Hot nights? Romantic gestures? Expensive cars, LOL? (I think that may be the reason you need to find that pot of gold at the rainbow’s end–so you can get your own fast cars!)
So why am I giving away an early read of Claim Me for the Lucky in Love hop? Because as far as I’m concerned Nikki Fairchild (the heroine and narrator of the Stark Trilogy) is pretty dang lucky! After all, it’s Nikki that Damien Stark wants. And Damien is, well, yummy! (He’s rich, too, but to be honest, that’s not my personal line of demarcation for “lucky.” Then again, those cars and presents are pretty sweet…)
As for Damien’s appeal, it’s not just me saying so. Check it out: “Dare I say it? Yes, I do. Damien Stark has replaced Gideon Cross in my head and heart. I am now Damienized, Damienessed. I am a Damien junkie. So many books make the claim, but this one actually lives up to it.” – Romantic Reading Escapes

It’s madness! Madness, I say!
What is?
The state of my yard. I ignored it all winter (as one is supposed to do, but apparently in Texas we no longer have winter. So although it’s barely even March yet, spring has sprung. And not lightly like a bunny, either. No, more like some fanged, scary hell beast.
Don’t believe me? Check out this weed that, I swear, popped up in my back yard almost overnight, along with about two million of its closest friends!
So, while I’m diligently doing galleys for Claim Me, the weeds are waging war on my backyard.
Har-umph!
But I’ll show those weeds! Here’s a bonus excerpt from Claim Me, Book 2 in the Stark Trilogy following Release Me … a little something to tide you over until #StarkOnSaturday! (Don’t ask how that will show the weeds … I have no answer!)
“Your carpool’s here, Mr. Stark. You don’t want to be late for homeroom.” I turn to head back inside, but he grabs my hand and pulls me back. His kiss is long and deep and makes my knees go weak, but Damien considerately holds me up so that I don’t collapse in a puddle on the flagstone tiles.
“What was that for?” I breathe when he releases me.
“A reminder that I believe in you,” he says.
“Oh.” His voice is filled with so much pride and confidence that I wish I could soak it up like a drug.
“And a promise of things to come,” he adds with a sexy curve to his lips. “I’ll call you when I get back. I’m not sure how late I’ll be.”
“The helicopter not as speedy as it looks?” I tease.
“More like my colleagues don’t conduct business as expediently as I’d like.”
“No prob. I should have dinner with Jamie tonight, anyway. I’ve been a best friend in absentia lately.” I start to pull away, but his fingers tighten around mine. “What?”
“I don’t want to go.” His grin is boyish, and I laugh with delight. Damien is so many things, and I am falling hard for all of them.
“But if you don’t, then how can I spend the day looking forward to having you back?”
“You’re a very wise woman,” he says, then presses a fresh kiss to my lips. “Until tonight.”

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and that means it’s time for all sorts of romantic fun.
Now, romance can be soft and gentle, it can be hot and steamy, or it can be wild and crazy. (And so many permutations thereof.)
I’m thinking that this post is going to go with hot and steamy.
A dessert pot of fondue and a plate piled high with strawberries is both steamy and sexy (and hot!).
And my current book, RELEASE ME, is sizzling hot (and it’s in it’s third week as a NYT bestseller, and it just landed for it’s fifth week on the USA Today list … yay!)
Did I say the book was hot? Well, it is. But not as hot as the hero, Damien Stark! “5 of 5 stars – Oh.My.God. Where do I start? Damien, that’s where.” In Love With Romance
But, of course, curling up with a book is a solitary activity.
If you want to get all romantic and snuggly, maybe curl up with a movie (and your sweetie). I ran across this blog post recently of Movies to Get You In The Mood. Check it out!
And, of course, if you need romantic paraphernalia, Amazon has pretty much anything … and delivers to your door!
Before you hop on to the next stop on the hop, be sure to enter the contest for a gift card! Rules are in the Rafflecopter (if you can’t see it or the Linky for the next stop on the hop, refresh your page. Glitches happen!)
I’m excited because it’s a new year and I have a new book (Release Me, in case you’ve missed the 8 billion times that I’ve mentioned it!) and what better way to start off the new year than a brand new contest and a fun blog hop?
Join the hop and enter via the Rafflecopter below (you need to leave a comment)! Be sure to visit all the stops! It’s a great way to ease into the new year.
Happy happy!!
