ReplyDeleteWe are happy to help with the new books, Lisa! Yes, Heartwarming can be recommended to everyone.
DeleteThank you for joining in, and good luck with the giveaway!
I love reading Harlequin Heartwarming books. Once I start the book I have to read until I finish it.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring and thank you for the wonderful giveaways!! :)
Not being able to put the book down is one of the best comments anyone can make about our books. We're so glad you enjoy Heartwarming, Darlene.
DeleteHappy reading and good luck with the draw on the 26th!
So many books to love. Firefly Nights by Cynthia Thomason tops my list.
ReplyDeleteNot only does Firefly Nights promise to be a very enjoyable read, I love the cover!

ReplyDeleteConnie
We're glad you like the giveaway. I feel privileged to be part of such a great community of authors, and I have to admit I love Karen's books, too!
DeleteGood luck and happy reading!
I've been such a fan of Kate's- even before she joined the Harlequn fold!! Thank you so much for putting my name with hers- it's an honor :-) Good luck with the contest. Fingers crossed xx
DeleteThanks, Lisa! We wanted to do something special after such a long winter and this seemed like a fun way to celebrate good weather and new books :-) good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these covers! So gorgeous! Especially "The Truth About Hope," that one has to be my favorite. Thanks so much for the giveaway and good luck to everybody.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like the cover of THE TRUTH ABOUT HOPE, Kim. Originally, Einstein the the dog was a large, gangly mutt that looked mostly like an Irish Wolfhound. Imagine my surprise when I saw the cover and the dog looks exactly like Logan, one of our black Labs. Needless to say, I did some rewriting.
DeleteGood luck to you, too, with the giveaway!
I bet Logan was excited when he learned someone had snapped his picture and put him on the cover! I've been looking forward to your second Heartwarming for a while, Kate - I'm so glad the wait will be over soon!
DeleteLogan is very excited. He lorded it over our other Lab Harley, he wants a share of the royalties in the form of extra kibble, and Harley now would like to know when he can expect to be a cover model, too!
DeleteFirefly Nights sounds like my type of book because the title takes me back to my youth in New Jersey and summer nights chasing fireflies. Those are good memories.
ReplyDeletelkish77123 at gmail dot com
That is a fabulous title! Definitely evocative. Good luck, Linda :)
DeleteThe Truth About Hope interests me greatly. Wonderful books and feature which I enjoyed. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like them :) Heartwarming definitely delivers on the promise of the line's title. They warm the heart!
DeleteOh, I had to chime in on this one, too! I hope you enjoy THE TRUTH ABOUT HOPE, if you get a chance to read it.
DeleteGood luck with the giveaway!
Elizabeth Heiter's books sound deliciously twisty and suspenseful.
ReplyDeletealterlisaATyahooDOTcom
I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth's! She writes some of the best crime/suspense stories I've ever read. Good luck, Lisa :-)
DeleteDitto regarding Elizabeth!
DeleteI hope you enjoy them, Lisa! And hugs to you two, Karen and Kate! :)
DeleteI would be thrilled to win any of the Harlequin books in this giveaway. I practically grew up reading Harlequin Romances. I hadn't read any for a very long time, but happened on one a while back. Boy has the Harlequin brand grown! There are so many more types of books, and the quality seems much better than I remember. I think this is a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for doing this!
