Reader Girls Blog

The Happily Ever After Giveaway Hop has begun! Who doesn't love a happy ending despite the genre or age group? This hop, hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & Murphy's Library , has to feature a "fairy tale or a book with a happy ending."  We here at Reader Girls have decided to do something different for this hop. We want to give one reader some of our favorite romantic YA reads this year. Our favorites are those types of stories which featured unforgettable characters and situations, unconventional couples, and yes, happy endings. Sometimes the road to happiness can be rocky and these books show that and more (one even has a horseback riding cowboy!). Our giveaway is for these three ebooks (Kindle or Nook) which will be gifted to one lucky reader. Our giveaway is open internationally and this hop runs from tonight to midnight on October 14. There are many blogs participating in this hop so please check out their giveaways. Here are the books: ...

Excerpt: Abdulla’s mind wasn’t on Fatima, or on his uncles or cousins. Not even when he drove through the wrought iron entry gate, oblivious to the sprawl of family cars parked haphazardly in the shared courtyard, did he give them a thought. Despite the holy season, his mind was still hard at work. Mentally, he clicked through a final checklist for tomorrow’s meetings .  I can squeeze in a few more hours if Fatima is nauseous and sleeps in tomorrow , he thought, rubbing his chin. Instead of the stubble he had anticipated, his whiskers were turning soft. A trim was yet another thing he didn’t have time for these days, though longer bear...
