Readers's Choice - Contemporary Romance

GIVEAWAY

June - August release dates

I'm getting ready for a summer reading blitz but I need your input to help me scout out the best new June - August releases. So, instead of reading and reviewing books this week, I'm appealing to my fellow bibliophiles for recommended summer release titles. 

How does it work?
 
Easy-peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win the draw, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!
 
Publication dates must be
June, July or August 2015
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre 
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer three suggestions per day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier for me to tally)
No email entries this week 
(too hard to keep track of due to the
# of responses)
 
Open to International readers (I'm all about spreading the Good News about Christian Fiction all over the globe!!!!!!)
 

IT'S CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE GIVEAWAY DAY!!!!!
 
To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title of the book(s) in the Contemporary Romance genre you'd like to win (and you think I'd like to read!)

Please remember to include your email, using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers. Draw will be held and winner announced on Sunday May 10  2015.

      I've been reading the Christy Miller series since I was a young teen, and just recently, the author has come out with new books to add on when the characters older. The 3rd book of the new series is coming out in August and I can't wait to get to it, so it would be nice to win it! :)

      It is "One More Wish" by Robin Jones Gunn
