Reader's Choice -- Contemporary Romance

GIVEAWAY

Summer is upon us and that means publishers are getting ready to shower us with new releases. Everybody -- SQUEEEPPP -- together! I'm so excited!

So here's how this thing works: You recommend Christian Fiction with release dates in July, August or September 2019 (up to three a day) and you have a chance at winning one of your recommendations! BUT it's a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.

PLEASE NOTE: email entries are not eligible this week. :-(

IT'S CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE GIVEAWAY DAY!

To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the book(s) in the Contemporary Romance genre you would like to win.

Contemporary Romance

A full-length story or novella collection set in present day (1980 up). May cross genres such as YA, suspense, Amish including dual timelines.

How does it work?

Easy peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES

Publication dates must be
July, August or September 2019
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions a 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 ot # of responses)
entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on somebody else's logon) 
Open to International Readers
I'm all about spreading the good news about 
Christian Fictionall over the globe!!!!

It's helpful if you include your email (using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers) but you only need to add it to one comment (per day) If you choose not to include your email it is up to you to contact me if you are a winner.

Draw will be held and winner announced on
Monday June 15 2019

  2. This is always a harder genre for me to choose books in. I don't read much contemporary outside of Love Inspired....though I am trying to broaden my palate a bit. I'm currently binge reading the Bradford Sisters novels by Becky Wade 😁 Historical will still always be my first love.
    That being said, I found a couple and will come back to see what other people suggest and maybe add a third.

    1. You Belong With Me by Tari Faris~September

    Just recently someone mentioned reading an early copy of this (an author?) and how much they were enjoying it. So it sparked my interest!

  3. Another author who I want to read her full length novels is Liz Johnson. I would of course read "A Sparkle of Silver" first 😊

    2. A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson~August

    1. Historical fiction seems to be almost everybody's favourite. I love Historical, Contemporary and Suspense all equally, I think...maybe...I'm super excited for both of these. Did not realize that Liz Johnson's next Georgia Coast Romance is this close to hitting the shelves. Eeep! And I've been seeing You Belong With Me all over Instagram and Facebook -- it looks really good as well. Good luck, Trixi!

  4. A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson! 8/6

    it's been on my summer reading list since I read the first book in the Georgia Coast series last year! I
    can't wait to get my hands on this one,

    1. Gasp! I haven't even read book one of that Montana Marshalls series and book two and three are coming out before autumn?! Ack! Must read faster. Good luck, Tracey!

      Delete
    2. Yes! And there are two more right behind those, Wyatt and Ruby Jane, they'll all be out by the end of the yr. She wrote them last yea so they could all release a couple months apart in 2019, thoughtful for all us Marshall fans on the edge of ours seats 😍 📚

      Delete
    3. Kav, you need to read them. I’m dying here waiting for Ford, Wyatt, and Ruby Jane to get their stories. I think I read both Knox and Tate in a few hours....they’re that good.

      Delete
    4. Oooh Mindy and Tracey -- you are getting me all excited. Must get started on this series before all the fun is over. Love that the books are releasing close together -- kinda like Shelley Shepard Gray does -- only it's crazy stressful if you don't show up at the start line on time. :-)

  7. 3) Strands of Truth by Colleen Coble (Sept 10 -- my daughter's b'day!)

    It said in bold letters on Amazon "Romantic Suspense", but if this doesn't work I'll choose another. This was a tough category to find summer releases. I'm anxious to see what some of the others come up with. Thanks, Kav, and happy Monday!

    1. Yes -- romantic suspense fits in this category as well as long as there's a contemporary setting. It looks like Susan May Warren's series is suspense as well...at least Tate is tagged that way on Amazon. Good luck, Diana!

      Delete
    2. Yep, Knox was a romantic suspense as well. The story just continues on with his brother, Tate. Took me forever to finish Knox. Had to keep looking at the cover to remind myself what the hero looked like. LOL!

    1. Oh wow, you found something intriguing, Kay. Your first choice is published by Hallmark...I had no idea they published books! Wonder if this is something new? And nothing like Christmas in July to cool an avid reader down. Thrilled about Barbara Cameron's new book as well. I think I've missed out on the other books in this series. Must check into that. Good luck, Kay!
