You know what I love? I love it when wonderful things happens to books I adore. I love it when wonderful things happen to really nice people.:D

In case you missed the very exciting news, The Season’s April Feature Interviewee, Sarah MacLean, is celebrating. This week she discovered (as did we all) that her second book, NINE RULES TO BREAK WHEN ROMANCING A RAKE, hit the New York Times bestseller list at #27 and the USA Today bestseller list at #61.

CONGRATULATIONS SARAH!!!!

As I already stated in my interview with Sarah and my mini-review of her book, this is a wonderful book. I adored it. If you love truly excellent  historical romances (and I do stress romance), you must pick up Nine Rules. And it’s not just me saying so, as it appears the whole country is in agreement.

And since this is my personal April Top Pick, we’re going to celebrate along with Sarah by giving away another copy of her bestselling book! Just comment to enter to win.

Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake
Author: Sarah MacLean
Publisher: Avon Books
Pub. Date: March 30, 2010
ISBN-13: 978-0061852053
432 pages

Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried–and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she’s vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she’s been missing.

But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss–to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston–charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.

If she’s not careful, she’ll break the most important rule of all–the one that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopefully, desperately in love…

  9. This is fast becoming my favorite site . Avon and Regency authors are bringing story telling up a notch. I’m loving this as my to be read pile grows. I may need more bubble bath and anti wrinkle cream… but its a sacrifice I must make for my authors.

  13. Congratulations, Sarah! Ever since Buffie gave this book 5 stars at our blog, I’ve been dying to read it. I only have two more reviews to write then I’m treating myself to NINE RULES TO BREAK WHEN ROMANCING A RAKE. I can’t wait!

    Bev, I already have a copy so please exclude me from the contest.

    Thanks!

  14. PJ, skip the reviews and just start reading. No to worry, you’ll be done tonight. 😉 (okay, you know I’m just kidding–but kinda not really). LOL

  27. With all I’ve seen and heard, this is an enjoyable read that should not be missed. I think there is a little of Calpurnia in all of us : )
    Congratulations on the success of your book, Sarah. Good call, Beverly.

  29. The reviews for this have been so good! It sounds like a witty and fun read so I’d love to win a copy.

  42. Congratulations, Sarah! I got my copy last weekend and I started it last night. If I didn’t have to work (and sleep on occasion), I would be finished already. I’m loving it! 🙂

  43. BTW, I should tell you that I was in the middle of another book when I bought this one. All the others from my trek to the bookstore went in my MASSIVE TBR pile. I kept yours on my desk because I knew it had to be next. And I was so right! Looks like a whole bunch of other people agree with me.

    Best of luck with ALL your success!
    🙂 Bryn
