Thanks to Kathy from I Am A Reader for hosting... Ah, books. Most of us love 'em so much we dream about them. A disturbing dream inspired my current novel, Twin Sacrifice . How much do you enjoy books with a dreamlike quality? Not so much dreamy in a romantic way, but more like you can't tell if the plot is a dream or reality. I don't like to feel confused when I read. So I'm hesitant to read Never, Never even though I lurve Colleen Hoover. It would be a dream for you to win a $10 gift card! I'm also giving away an ebook of my college volleyball romance Blocked .

Thanks to Mary from Bookhounds and Kathy from I Am a Reader for hosting! Wow, I read many wonderful books this year, but my favorite has to be  Making Faces by Amy Harmon. See my review HERE . Making Faces is a New Adult romance that made me sob. We're talking raccoon mascara eyes here. The story has a beautiful message: it's what's on the inside that counts. (Banner from Aestas Book Blog) If you're in the US, I'll buy you a paperback copy of Making Faces or a similarly priced book. If you're outside the US, I'll buy you an ebook of Making Faces or a similarly priced book. a Rafflecopter giveaway Now hustle over to these blogs to discover their favorite reads: <!-- end LinkyTools script –>

Time for the Gratitude Giveaway hosted by Kathy . What are YOU grateful for? Positive psychology research shows that acknowledging our gratitudes can make us happier. So I'm giving you the opportunity to do just that in the giveaway. I'm grateful for my two sisters. They're fun, smart, kind, and beautiful. One of these days I'll beat Laurie in Words With Friends (she cheats, I swear) and maybe I'll cave to Susan's constant cajoling for me to move near her in South Carolina. I'm blessed to have siblings I call my friends. It makes all the teasing from childhood worth it! And thank YOU, awesome readers, for making my new release Blocked a top seller among volleyball books. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Thanks to Mary and Kathy for hosting this hop! I love America. One thing that makes America great is FREEDOM. Not only freedom to read, but freedom to voice dissenting views on politics and religion. Americans' fierce political divide inspired my fifth novel Blocked . It's a college volleyball romance between two individuals with polar opposite philosophies about the way the world should work: College freshman Lucia Ramirez has a secret crush on Dane Monroe. He’s a tall drink of water — blond, brash, and one hell of a volleyball player. Hijole . Lucia hopes her volleyball scholarship to his school will make him notice her. Too bad what’s noticeable is Dane’s obvious hatred for Lucia. Her family’s politics contradict everything he stands for. And politics are front and center in both their families. Dane’s mother is about to face Lucia’s father in the race for US President. When Secret Service throws them together, Dane can’t deny his frustrating attraction to Lucia’...

Chasing Hope by Kathryn Cushman My rating: 4 of 5 stars Inspiring and Corny When I saw the blurb for this new release, I loved the NA/YA sports angle and signed up to review it on my blog. This is a poignant story demonstrating the adage “When God closes a door, He opens a window.” Sabrina is a college senior whose dream to run for Team USA in the Olympics fell short due to an autoimmune illness attacking her body. She is bitter about her loss, and angry with God for crashing her vaunted goal of becoming a missionary who spreads God’s word based on her running success. Sabrina lives with her grandmother, who seems to disapprove of Sabrina’s revised plan to begin a competitive business internship. But Sabrina doesn’t want to hear it and continues with her busy life of classes and work, despite feeling tired and sick most of the time. They encounter a family friend whose teenaged grand-daughter Brandy has fallen in with the wrong crowd. Brandy gets arrested for using ...

I realized I hadn't participated in a giveaway for a while, so I just signed up for The Best Book Ever Giveaway Hop hosted by The Best Books Ever and I Am A Reader . I'm new to the Best Books Ever meme , but it sounds fun. It's a place for readers to vote on the best books in a genre. My vote for Best Love Story is a novel I recently finished: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I cried buckets reading this adult novel (here's my review ). Do you enjoy emotional reads about older teens? I'd like to put my NA/mature YA swimming romance Streamline up for two best books genres: emotional reads and older teen reads. (I am NOT claiming Streamline is the best book in those genres--just putting it up for your consideration!) You can win an ebook of Streamline by completing the Rafflecopter form. a Rafflecopter giveaway Now hop over to these participating blogs to WIN STUFF!
