Yep, it’s that time. I have a LOT of books and I need to find loving, caring homes for them. I won’t even list them but about 75% of them can be found on the Stash pages. I just have to make sure I remove the ones that have already been snapped up. Forgive me if I don’t get them all. But I’ll send all the winners a list the remaining books they get to choose from. Of course those will be the most current books as I haven’t had time to put them up on the Stash pages yet.

There is a caveat to entering this giveaway. In order to do so you would have had to nominate a book for Best Book of 2012 in the post below and then of course you have to comment on this post. Please indicate your genre interest. That is also very important. 

Oh, Karen Ranney’s February release, THE LASS WORE BLACK is one of the books. 🙂

 P.S. Please don’t nominate your fave read on this post.

  1. My nomination for a 2012 book is a butt kicking, action filled, romance packed read called Ice Cold by Cherry Adair. The book had all the elements to rev anyone’s interest in reading. Thanks for the really awesome giveaway your too kind to us. Good luck to us all xxx

  2. I nominated a book in the previous post, and love both historical and contemporary. I go back and forth between the two.

  3. I nominated my favorite book choice as you requested, plus a couple of my other favorites that I loved.

    My absolute favorite genre of romance to read is “HISTORICAL”. 🙂

    Thank you always, for thinking of us readers with your very generous giveaways.

  4. Thanks for the giveaway. I found it so hard to pick a favorite because lately I have been enjoying multiple genres (paranormal/historical/erotica).

  5. I would like to nominte Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost or or Against the Sun by Kat Martin. Both are great books and definate must reads and re-reads.

  6. I nominated a book for Best Book of 2012 yesterday. Thanks for another great giveaway! I like historical romance, with contemporary romance coming in a very close second.

  7. I find this so difficult to name just one book as the best of 2012. Fortunately, or not, it just depends on your point of view, “life” was very hectic last year and I wasn’t able to read as many books as I thought I would: only 55. So, oh, …..THE DUKE’S PERFECT WIFE by Jennifer Ashley. That book met all of my criteria. The series was on my auto-buy list, the cover is delish (having Paul Marron doesn’t hurt), I own the book, it’s a keeper, a favorite and a 5 star review. WOW! Yes, it qualifies.

    I love to read but I didn’t pick up a romance novel until just a few years ago. GASP! I’m discovering wonderful authors of every every sub-genre of romance. My favorite romance genre is historical followed by romantic suspense and then paranormal.

    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  8. Nominated my choice. It was hard to choose just one.

    I love to read contemporary, historical, paranormal, and erotica. I’m a variety type of girl lol

  9. Its hard to nominate just one so its Jennifer Ashley The Duke’s Perfect Wife. The whole serie is wonderful ans she has a Christmas novella. It’s great love it. You have to read the A Mackenzie Family Christmas it further talks about the family.

  10. I nominate “A Notorious Countess Confesses” by Julie Anne Long for Best Book of 2012

    I love to read contemporary, historical, and erotica.

  11. Therenwere so many good books last year. One of my favorites is Maya Banks Never Seduce a Scot. Historicals are my first love, however I enjoy paranormal and contemporary too.

  12. I think my favorite book of the year was Deity by Jennifer Armentrout. It’s the 3rd one in a series, but it is the best one so far. I cannot wait for the final two books to come out. They’re paranormal-ish with a little bit of YA romance. A couple people also mentioned Jennifer Ashley, and I definitely agree! She’s one of my favorite authors.

  13. I wasn’t going to do the “Best Book of 2012”, because it was just too hard. But I wanted to do this contest, so I did it. I must say it was really hard to pick, because I read so many good books last year. I love to read historical and contemporary the most, but really I will read any kind of romance book. Thanks for doing a great contest!

  14. Genre interest – I like to read a bit of everything and tend to read one certain genre for a while before completely switching to something else. Paranormal, historical romance, history, sci-fi, thriller, etc, I read it all! 🙂

  15. I love mystery and paranormal/PNR followed by contemporary romance and romantic suspense. I nominated 2 books for best of 2012.

  16. I posted mine and it’s not because it’s you it really was one of my favs. Can’t wait till you release Twice…. I love romance of any era….. oh and the stuff others don’t admit to…like 50 shades…

  17. Gah – I can’t decide what book I’ve read was my favorite this year. There have been some duds and some awesome ones (such as yours, Beverley). I loved both your historical – Heir of Deception & contemporary – When In Paris.

    Not saying that to suck up, but those books are usually re-reads for me.

  18. Hard for me to pick a favorite. I enjoyed your continuation of series, Heir of Deception. Recently read The Kellington series by Maureen Driscoll especially enjoyed them so I would put any title in The Kellington series at the top of my 2012 list. I think historical romances are my favorites, but enjoy western and contemporary as well.

  19. I have so many books that are my favorite, it make it so hard to pick just one 🙁 . I have decided to nominate Reflected in You by Silvia Day which is the second book in Crossfire series. This was a series I could not get out of my head for weeks, I just loved it 😀

  20. I’ll enter my fav’s for 2012 after I post this…I didn’t take the time yesterday, sigh.
    I am a Historical Romance junkie first, especially Highlanders!
    Next is Paranormal Romance judging from my favorite author’s list.
    I’ve just discovered Contemporary Romance, especially those Special Ops guys, wow-HOT!
    Thanks for the giveaway =)

  21. My favorite is Historicals. I loved “Never Seduce a Scot” by Maya Banks. However, I read seveal wonderful books by Grace Burrowes.

  22. I am totally a historical romance junkie. Of the 120 books I read in 2012 I guess I would vote for “A Notorious Countess Confesses” by Julie Anne Long. It’s time for her to get some major awards. Overdue.

  23. Ooohhh…I’ve read so many books last year, close to 100…so that is extremely hard to choose just one. Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks. The characters were so endearing. Then a plethera of others I enjoyed. PS would love to win! and love the Blog!!

  24. I am at heart a historical romance junkie, but I will read just about any book that piques my interest. Crossing my fingers that I get picked, I’m running low 🙁 thanks for the chance!!!

  25. I nominated one book which was very hard to do! Thanks for this new giveaway. I read mainly historicals and contemporaries.

  26. Historical Romance, The Wild One – Danelle Harmon, Never Seduce a Scot – Maya Banks, How to Capture a Countess – Karen Hawkins, A Night Like This – Julia Quinn.

  27. Historical Romance but this one has some fantasy too so I guess it’s a mixed genre. The Lord of Illusion by Kathryne Kennedy. It’s the last in a trilogy and I loved it!

  28. I’m not trying to get brownie points or anything, but my vote is for An Heir of Deception. I read the excerpt and (im)patiently waited for it to come out. This book was like a roller coaster the way my emotions were flipped around. My fave genre is Historical, but I’ve been indulging in Contemporary and Paranormal lately. Thank you!!

  29. Thanks so much for all the giveaways. I think my fav genre is contemporary but I read from across all of romance genres. I’ve been ready black dagger brotherhood lately and read 50 shades and even some historical based on your reviews. I would say though historical is my least read genre.

  30. First, thanks for this generous giveaway. Secondly, I nominated my favorite book. It actually is historical and paranormal.

  31. I would like to nominate How to Seduce A Scot by Maya Banks. My favorite genre is historical, but I also like contemporary.

  32. I voted and can always use lots more books! I read just about any romance genre, but I tend to read mostly contemporary and historical, with some mild paranormal thrown in.

  33. I like to read all genres but usually gravitate to the historical romances ones. I nominated a book by Christina Brooke, a new-to-me author that I really enjoyed reading.

  34. love books! mostly historicals but a book has a smell and feel that nothing else does.

  35. I nominated two book in the previous post and am now commenting. I will read any genre except horror.

  37. I already nominated my favorite read in the previous post.

    I like any genre, especially paranormals and historicals.

  38. Yes~ Thank you so much for a great giveaway~! I nominated about five books~? It’s so hard to choose one favorite since so many good books were released in 2012. My favorite genre would have to be Historical~! Paranormal and Contemporary are really good to but most books on my shelf is Historicals.~

  43. It’s always so hard picking faves, but I nominate two on the last post. My fave genre of all time is historical, but I love a good contemporary (especially Jill Shalvis). I do have to say there are some good paranormals out there two that I’ve been getting hooked on. Geez who am I kidding, good writing is good writing no matter the genre. As long as there is a hea 😛

  44. I voted for my favorite book of the year – it was a paranormal romance. But I also love historical romance, contemporary romance and adore steampunk as well.

  50. You said it, a LOT of books! Nice of you to clear out some room, and share with some lucky ladies! (or gents, sorry guys)

  51. I nominated a book on the Best of 2012 post. Like you I am an avaricious reader. I always have a romance book with me at all times. You never know when you’ll have a moment or two to read when out and about regardless of what is at home waiting to be read (usually 2-3 books at a time). My TBR list and Wish list are ridiculous. I couldn’t even begin to name my favorite author. I’m the kind of reader that once I find an author whose book I like, I have to find everything they have ever written and then read it. Thank you for the chance to win 5 more books.~

    What a great give-away. I love historical romance and that’s all that I read!
    I voted for my favorite of the year, after listing my top 10 for the year!

  68. I nominate Loving Lady Marcia by Kieran Kramer! No one can write characters better than Kieran! They will draw you into your heart and make you laugh right along with them! Her books aren’t to be missed and if you haven’t read one of her stories yet you’ll wonder why as soon as you have the pleasure of reading one! Just be sure to set aside the time to finish her story because your not going to want to put it down.

  69. It’s hard to pick one favorite! Cuz I have so many! So I’m going with a recent one of 2012 I loved, BEAUTY AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER by Lori Austin (Lori Handeland) . A historical western. I miss reading this setting and this was fab!
