So I am home, and let me tell you: this is the happiest place on earth. I’m so pleased I made it back before the WHO increased the alert. My inlaws are in Houston right now, and as it stands, they may be stuck there for a while. That’s okay because we have family there, so it could be worse.
To take your minds off the world’s woes, I offer for your delectation some really yummy books. First up is Lauren Dane’s RELENTLESS. She’s won an amazing number of awards, and her first book in the Federation series received incredible buzz. I am here to tell you: if you liked UNDERCOVER, you are going to looooove RELENTLESS. It’s sweet and passionate and tells the story of two star-crossed lovers. Rather than spoil it for you, I am just going to open it up right now.
You want a copy of this? Of course you do. I’m giving away four of them. That’s right, FOUR. But here’s the catch. You have to write me a limerick about the book. Here’s the blurb to help you out.
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.
Is Lauren worth a little effort? Absolutely!
But if you refuse to write a limerick and you still want a free book, I also have a copy of NYT bestselling author Angie Fox’s next DEMON SLAYER installment. I’m also giving out a copy of the awesome Beth Kery’s upcoming release, DARING TIME. If you want one of those, you just need to comment.
How’s that for a stimulus package?
Please enter me in the contest! Thanks for the chance to win!

From Lyon’s sexual cup Abbie drank.
The moment after she took a sip
she sensually licked her bottom lip
And then gave her sexy Lyon a healthy spank.
I hope this qualifies, I am a reader not a writer but would love to have everyone of these books. Please oh please throw me in the contest. It was fun.
I loved Relentless, so don’t enter me for that one.
However I would love a chance for Angie Fox’s The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers. How many hoops do I need to jump through? :)
Can’t say I have the head space at the moment to even contemplate a limerck :) But would love to be entered in your other contests.
You’re better than cupcakes. Xxxooo
I must warn you, priority will be given to limerick writers for the Lauren Dane drawing. Which means that Sara has a great chance of snagging herself a copy, being as there is one limerick so far and four books. *g*
would vlove beth’s book
loved undercover
great package
Enter me :) Ok limerick…eeeek!
In this erotic universe, passion is seen
And Abbie is clean.
Roman is bread to lead
Abby will give him what he need.
And he is not mean.
…is that a limerick and rhymes…should be, but good, lol
I’d love to read Daring Time! Lauren Dane’s book too of course, but I’m no good at limericks….
There are reasons why I don’t write limericks. I have NO talent.
There once was a woman who fought
By love she had never been caught
She met a man named after a lion
And soon with passion they both were cryin’
Oh what a lesson love had taught
I can’t believe I just typed up that rubbish! Only for your contests, Anne!
LOL at Katie’s! That was a good one.
I’d love a copy of DARING TIME.
BTW, I just finished BLUE DIABLO and it was FANTASTIC. When’s the next book out?!?
Next one comes out in April 2010. So pleased you enjoyed it!
OK, so don’t laugh, but I had to look up limerick to find out how to compose one.
Like another said, I am not a writer, but here goes:
Abby, a fighter, feels she must make a stand,
But will Roman, of the elite, give her a hand?
Though some may say it is him that she hates,
She will soon come to see that they are mates.
Will their trysts lead to the tradition of a wedding band?
So, there it is…good or bad, hopefully it will be good enough to be eligible to win one of the copies of Relentless (since Lauren is definitely worth it). If not, I would love to win any of the other books!
Great stimulus package! I’m no good at limericks…
I’m obviously not entering (not only I’m inelegible *kicking rock* but I already have Relentless–and my copy is signed neener neener), but boy oh boy, I covet Beth Kery’s Daring Time
Glad to know things are calm on the home front, Ann *hug* it was a pleasure having you here!
Ohh, great contest! I’d like to enter please!

wow great contest
For a new order Abbie did fight
For change she must meet those with might
In Lyon she meets her mate
Who stands for all she did hate
Will he help her in her plight
Thanks for the chance to win.

Since I’m no good at limericks or haikus, please enter me as…just me, thanks.
Thanks for the stimulus package. I would love to get my hands on Daring Time.
Thanks for the opportunity, I’d like to be included for Beth Kery’s read!
Crap, I suck at limerick’s. I’d love to win Beth Kery’s book, though. Or… maybe I can cough up a haiku…
Roman unleashes
his sexuality and
rocks Abbie’s beliefs.
There once was a hottie named Roman
Whose surname was sort of an omen
For Abbie the rebel
Thought he did excel
When he licked her below her abdomen.
Daring Time is the book I would love to get. I can’t write a limerick to save my life!
I would love to win a copy of “Daring Time.”
Please enter me in the contest too!
I would love to win either Angie Fox’s or Beth Kery’s book.
Thanks!
Ooh this is cool! I’d love to be entered
Ummm I don’t know how to write a limerick. Since I have Undercover in hardback I’m probably going to see if Relentless is in HB too. I would love either Angie’s or Beth’s book though.
Welcome home Ann! Books and the comfort of home are the best place to be!
I shall try, but this is hard, LOL.
To pass through the Portal
You must go through the hurdle
Of finding love you loss
With Roman, the boss
As Abbie fights
With all her might
Roman will unleash his pride
And give Abbie the best ride!
My hats off to anyone who can write a limerick. Very impressive, ladies. Would love to read either Angie’s or Beth’s books.
Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

Please count me in. I’d love a chance to win
Abbie’s time was spend in a fleet
And her love life took the backseat
When Roman came along
It did not take him long
Turn it around with potent heat
Since I can’t write limericks and would fail spectacularly, I’ll go for one of the other books please.
Thanks!
I can’t write a limerick worth a darn so please enter me for one of the other books.
Thanks :)
Abbie Haws, a fighter from the start.
Fighting so hard, love has yet to capture her heart.
Then the Federated Universes throw Roman her way.
And suddenly rules disappear and emotions hold sway.
Negotiating has never taken such a sensual art.
I think the other Lymricks were better but I thought I would give it a shot. And I hope I can still please be entered for the Angie Fox and Beth Kery contest too. Thanks!
Winners posted! The contest is over.
