Spring Blog Carnival

Image
Last Sunday marked the beginning of what promises to be a fun week of giveaways and events: The Spring Blog Carnival hosted by the wonderful ladies at  Candace's Book Blog ,  Pure Imagination ,   Reading Angel,  and  The Book Swarm.  The Carnival already started and ends on Sunday, May 8th. We realized since we originally placed this Giveaway as a page (and not as a post) along with the side banner graphic, some of you might not have seen it so we decided to post it.  Check the list of other participating blogs to see what they're offering. Many blogs are running booths each day so make sure to check those out as well.  We're offering three books for three winners.  For US/Canada we will have the book shipped from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.  For international winners we will have the book shipped from The Book Depository (as long as they ship to your country-please check before entering).  Our giveaway books also happen to be our  Book of the Month  choices: To enter y

Mass Market Paperback: 528 pages Publisher: Pocket (February 15, 2011) Summary: HE VOWED HE’D COME FOR HER . . . Murdered before he could wed Regin the Radiant, warlord Aidan the Fierce seeks his beloved through eternity, reborn again and again into new identities, yet with no memory of his past lives. SHE AWAITS HIS RETURN . . . When Regin encounters Declan Chase, a brutal Celtic soldier, she recognizes her proud warlord reincarnated. But Declan takes her captive, intending retribution against all immortals—unaware that he belongs to their world. TO SATE A DESIRE MORE POWERFUL THAN DEATH . . . Yet every reincarnation comes with a price, for Aidan is doomed to die when he remembers his past. To save herself from Declan’s torments, will Regin rekindle memories of the passion they once shared—even if it means once again losing the only man she could ever love? My review: The opening of this book immediately drew me in. I was happy to see one of my favorite characters in this series, R
