And Another Guest Author…

Posted May 3, 2009 by Holly in Giveaways, Promotions, Reviews | 3 Comments

Sometimes I think I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached…When I made the announcement for our upcoming guest authors yesterday I completely forgot to mention Lauren Dane will be here tomorrow to celebrate the release of Relentless (Berkley, May 5), the second book in her Federation Universes series.

Book Cover

In this erotic universe, passion knows no rank…

Since the first settlers came through the portals from Earth, fifteen Families have held the rule of the Federated Universes in their hands. There’s never been a better time than now to throw out the old and usher in a new order. Give voice to the unranked. Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. A fighter, she’s always been too busy and driven to pay much attention to finding love. But when she’s granted audience with Roman Lyons, the head of House Lyons, who stands for everything she hates, her instant attraction catches Abbie off-guard…

It’s common knowledge that the Known Universe revolves around Ravena–and that Ravena revolves around Roman Lyons, bred to lead since birth. Roman dreads his meeting with a defiant–if stunning–rabble-rouser. But, sometimes, headstrong personalities in the conference room make for hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private….

Now, Abbie will show Roman the parts of her world he wouldn’t otherwise get to see. And he’ll give her a glimpse of the Families’ age old tradition and unleash a sexuality he’d never given rein to before.

She’ll be talking about her characters and giving away copies of Relentless. We’re also going to be giving away copies of Undercover, the first book in the series. Be sure to come by, you don’t want to miss it!

Guest Authors Coming Soon to a Book Binge Near You

Posted May 2, 2009 by Holly in Promotions | 5 Comments

Next week we have two amazing authors scheduled to visit Book Binge.

Book Cover

On Tuesday, May 5th, contemporary author Libby Malin will be visiting to celebrate the release of Fire Me (Sourcebooks, May 1).

One day, a dysfunctional office, and a budding romance.

Anne Wyatt has finally had it with incompetent co-workers, a boss who runs hot and cold, and meaningless busywork with impossible deadlines. But the day she goes in determined to hand in her resignation, she learns that her boss is planning to let someone go. She changes course, deciding to try for the lay-off and the severance package that goes with it.

Throughout the day, she engages in hysterical antics designed to attract her boss’ negative evaluation, egged on by Ken, the handsome graphic designer in the next cubicle, who has his own ideas for liberation from the corporate grind. In the end, together Anne and Ken have to decide what is important in life, and what they need to discard without a second glance.

We’re very excited and hope all of you will stop by and make Libby feel welcome. Naturally we’ll be doing a giveaway, too. So make sure you stop by first thing Tuesday morning!

On Wednesday, bestselling author Maria V. Snyder will be visiting to celebrate the release of Storm Glass (Mira, April 28), the first book in a new spin off of her wildly popular Study series. Rowena and I recently had the opportunity to attend a signing with Maria and she was kind enough to sign three extra copies of Storm Glass for us. Make sure you come back on Wednesday to be entered to win a copy!!

As a glassmaker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowen understands trial by fire. Now it’s time to test her mettle. Someone has sabotaged the Stormdancer clan’s glass orbs, killing their most powerful magicians. The Stormdancers—particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade—require Opal’s unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap in to a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance—including her own—Opal must control powers she hadn’t known she possessed…powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she’s ever known.

We hope you’ll join us next week!

Book Binge Presents: Instant Attraction Month

Posted January 7, 2009 by Holly in News, Promotions, Reviews | 7 Comments

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Jill Shalvis. She was probably one of our best finds in 2008. At the end of this month she has a new book coming out. Instant Attraction is the first book in a new trilogy about 3 brothers who own an outdoor adventure business together.

To celebrate it’s release we’re bringing you a month of Instant Attraction. Every week this month we’ll be featuring a review along with a giveaway and Jill Shalvis herself is going to be visiting and doing her own giveaway!

Dear Author and The Smart Bitches (along with many other blogs, this one included) have been lamenting the lack of good, straight contemporary romances recently. For any of you who have been looking – Instant Attraction is a must buy. I was hooked right from the beginning and all the way through the end.

Book Cover

Accountant Katie Kramer is a quintessential good girl – working hard, recycling diligently, all the while trying to ignore the feeling that she doesn’t fit in anywhere. That’s all she wants. Well, that – and amazing sex, and the kind of daredevil escapade she can look back on when she’s crunching numbers in a dusty cubicle. Which explains why she just took a job in Wishful, California, working for Wilder Adventures and Expeditions. Waking up to find a magnificently built stranger towering over her bed – that part defies explanation…After wandering the planet for months following a life-changing accident, Cameron Wilder has come back to the only home he knows. Under other circumstances, he might be thrilled to find a gorgeous woman sleeping in his cabin, but now, while he’ll risk his body taking clients on adrenaline-drenched excursions, his heart is off limits. Still, Katie’s killer smile triggers something deep in his gut…among other places. Showing her how exhilarating it can be to stop balancing her life as if it was a check book is the biggest rush he’s ever felt – and an adventure Katie’s wishing would never end…

I hope you’ll stick around and play with us!
