Book Opportunity
A few weeks back I commented on seeing the book The Ultimatum by Dan Graziano. It’s a romance, written by a guy (obviously), and put out by Avon. I was intrigued. The basic plot goes like this: couple is going along just fine, or so the guy thinks, when the gal issues an ultimatum that he propose in a week or they’re through. I read it, thoroughly enjoyed it and wrote a review of it for Paperback Reader. If anyone out there would like to give it a try, post a comment here and let me know. I’ll send it on to you. The only catch is that you have to blog about it and do so ASAP. You can blog here if you don’t have your own blog.
And… I have another book opportunity for you guys. I have four mass market reissues of earlier Avon Red trades. They are:
*Pleasure Control by Cathryn Fox
*If This Bed Could Talk anthology by Liz Maverick, Kimberly Dean and Lynn LaFleur
*Sugar and Spice by Leda Swann
*Seduce Me by Dahlia Schweitzer
Avon Red has a very distinct look, in my view. I’m trying to figure out if it has a unique voice and/or what it offers to the erotic romance genre. This is where you guys come in. If you’re interested, comment here and I will pick two people to get two Avon Red titles each. Your job is to read both and then write up something on the books and your thoughts on the imprint, to the extent you have one after only two books. I’ll post your thoughts here. The goal is to do that by the end of the month. In other words, you do the work to satisfy my curiosity while giving the books (and authors) a little promo.
As always, I pay the postage on getting the books to you. You don’t have to love the books. You just have to be respectful. And, you have to follow through with providing the review/commentary because it’s just not cool to do otherwise.
So, if you’ want to be a part of either giveaway, comment here. I will pick the winners on Monday (August 13th).

I’d love to have the Ultimatum sent on to me (I’m the lone commenter on your entry over at Paperback Reader so far). I have a blog, that I haven’t blog’d on for a few months, but I’ve been meaning to re-invigorate it with….*something*, so I can use this as a kick in the pants.

Cool! I would love to read either one of these If This Bed Could Talk anthology by Liz Maverick, Kimberly Dean and Lynn LaFleur or Sugar and Spice by Leda Swann. Thanks
August 8th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Or this one too, Seduce Me by Dahlia Schweitzer.

Hi Helen!
I’d love to do them! I read If This Bed Could Talk when it came out, but none of the rest. so I’d love to read and give my input and all for the Avon Red books. Be a joy to do it!
I will check out that other book. I had no idea bout that one at all. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sounds good to me…….I don’t have a specific one in mind. I read a lot so this would be fun to do. Thanks for the opportunity……

Cool! Any two books is fine with me if I win!
Thanks!

I’d be interested in reviewing any of the Avon books. I haven’t read any of them yet!

Hey HelenKay, what a cool opportunity. I’m going to pass because I have a few books I’m reviewing already and don’t want to get bogged down, and besides, let other people have a chance. I did want to say that “The Ultimatum” sounds very interesting, and I find it cool that you liked it. I’m going to hop on over and read your review now.

The Ultimatum sounds very interesting! Or any of the Avons except the anthology (which surprisingly, I’ve already read). Thanks for the chance to read and comment!

It would be great to receive and review sugar and spice. Sounds perfect.
August 9th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
The ultimatum would be a pleasure to read and review. Thanks so much.
August 9th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
The Ultimatum sounds really intriguing, I’d love to read it. And the Avon Red books as well.
August 12th, 2007 at 5:35 am
Helen, I’d love the opportunity to read any one of the Avon books. They all sound good.

I’d love to read and review any of the books. As a bonus Mr. Wonderful has offered to give a guy’s opinion as well.

Hi,
These books look good but as much as I hate to, am going to have to pass this time as I just wont have the time to get them read quickly and post a review. But I think it is really great that you do this. It gives us readers a chance to read some books we may not have.
Good luck everyone.

I’d be honored to read and review any of the books you would like me to.
Thanks for considering me !
