Diana Holquist, author of RITA nominated SEXIEST MAN ALIVE, is now writing under the pseudonym Sophie Gunn and I’m giving away a copy of her ‘debut’ book to one random commenter. 🙂

HOW SWEET IT IS
Author: Sophie Gunn
Publisher: Grand Central
Pub. Date: January 3, 2011
ISBN-13: 978-0446561990
Retail: $7.99

Single mom Lizzie Bea Carpenter learned long ago that no white knight was coming to save her. A hardworking waitress at the local diner, she’s raising her daughter to be like the independent women in her “Enemy Club”–high school rivals turned best friends, promising to always tell each other the whole truth and nothing but!

Yet part of Lizzie wishes she did have a man’s help, just for small stuff, like fixing up the house. Her fairy godmother must have been listening, because Dante “Tay” Giovanni soon appears. He’s sexy, kind, and offering assistance–no strings attached.

Slowly, steadily, Lizzie’s heart opens. But the grip of the past is fierce, and nothing in life is ever really free. Tay has his own tragedies to overcome, but if he can, he’ll fix more than Lizzie’s home. He’ll show her just how sweet it is to be loved by him.

  2. I’ve been admiring this book. I love the cover and have been hoping it is coming to my library sometime soon. I would adore to read it! Thanks for the giveaway!

  4. I loved Holquist’s last, ‘How to Tame a Modern Rogue’ it was so funny. That was a contemporary too – I wonder why the name change? In any case, I’d love to read this latest as the last was excellent.

  12. How Sweet It Is sounds like a great book. I’d love to win a copy and check out Diana’s new alter ego.

  20. I love the sound of this book. I just read a good review and immediately added it to my wishlist. Would love to win a copy.

  21. HOW SWEET IT IS by Sophie Gunn looks like a wonderful book. I always wanted to read a Diana Holquist book, they look good, I didn’t realize this book was by her also (as Sophie Gunn!)
    I like the book cover, it’s cute! 🙂

  22. I have read many good reviews of this book. It sounds like a contemporary that deals with very real everyday people we can relate to.

  23. Oh I really like Diana Holquist! Didn’t know she “changed” her name. But this sounds like another fabulous story that I would LOVE to read. So please count me in, Thanks.

  25. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway, Beverly! Good luck, all!

    For those who asked: Diana Holquist writes fast-paced romantic comedies set in big cities. Sophie writes more down-to-earth, emotional stories set in small towns (think Robyn Carr, Susan Wiggs). Since there’s such a big change in tone between the Enemy Club series and my past books, we didn’t want to mix folks up.

    Thanks for all the support, everyone. I truly appreciate your kind comments.

  27. I found this book because Toni Blake endorsed it in her tweet. I would love to win HOW SWEET IT IS by Sophie Gunn . I love contemp romances and wish they’d publish more. Finding True Love in the 21st Century is a fantasy enough for me. Please enter my name and thank you for thanks for the giveaway.
