Don't tell me you didn't do anything remotely similar. I won't believe you.



PRIZE: one of Colleen's books (autographed!) or audio books .... winner's choice

message 1: by Erin (new)

Erin I would go back to tigers destiny as a whole. It was to me a great and special journy for kelsey. And a true battle with her heart in the book.

I like the giveaways, even tho I ever win lol. But hey the excitment is still there:).I like give aways based on books anbd music.


message 2: by Jess (new)

Jess This question is hard...If I could go back in time, I would first of all want to go back to the beginning when Kelsey leaves Ren and I would try to convince her to not be so stubborn. I don't know; I would just like to witness the whole experience as an unseen 3rd party. The most I can do now is kind of creepily reread and reread the series and pretend I'm there...which I do more often than I think is sane to admit.
Bonus: I actually quite enjoy giveaways, but I don't win often, so it's something of a downer everytime I don't get a "congratulations" email. I like to see giveaways most of the time, but I will leave them for a while if I don't win. Prizes in general are fun because you gain something you didn't have before, but I must admit I enjoy autographed memorabilia and things I can show off. Consider it free advertising. Giveaways are, as a whole, fun and exciting, and I like them despite my knack of losing.

Crystal Sm If I can go in the book and talk to Kelsey, it would be Tiger's Curse, I would talk to her about Ren. That she should at least give him a chance to see if his love is true.

For your bonus question, 1) Yes I like giveaways. 2) I check every once and a awhile. 3) I mostly interested in old books or new one's that just been published. 4) Adventures, Actions, Teens, Fantasy, Regular or Paranormal Romance, and Shapeshifter. 5) That mostly all, thank you for reading my comment. I'm a big fan of your book's series.

Lizzie Ok, I have to admit there was several moments that I wanted to yell, scream and throw my books across the room and the ONLY reason why I didnt is because I value and love my books too much to cause physical damage to them(I'm a freak when it comes to taking care of books lol) Anyways...I would have to say that If I could go back in time it would have been in Tiger's Voyage where Kelsey chose Kishan over Ren!!! I know Ren didnt remember her and that the only way for him to remember is Kishan kissing Kelsey BUT STILL even after she was really being stubborn because we all know she belongs to Ren but NOOOO she kept stringing poor Kishan along. This whole scenario had me stopping a lot a saying things like "Kelsey why are you doing this!!" or "Ren I'll take you!" I just would of liked for Kelsey to have been a little different during this part of the book. There were times where I wanted to go in and shake her untill she reasoned LOL, so sometimes I would pretend I was Kelsey (I know a lot of you girls do it too LOL) and picked another course of action with the same conclusion to the series. I wanted more Ren and Kelsey moments, especially more *sigh* Ren ;)*sigh* But thats just me being greedy :)

BONUS: I love giveaways, but I really never win them but I am always hopeful that one day I will :) and if not I always keep trying. Any type of prized are cool to win but I especially love anything signed from the author because it's special and makes me feel like "OMG, the author actually took a minute of his/her busy schedule to sign this for me!" It's something I will treasure and brag about to my friends LOL


Araxigindzhikyan If i could go back in tigers curse the part where he leaves ren, and i would tell her to stay because if she leaves she would have less time to spend with ren, because they would end up together anyway. Plus the part where kelsey started dating really pissed me off. How can you love someone and go off and date another. And she shouldnt have still kept dating lee when ren came back. Those are the moments when i almost pulled all my hair off lol.


message 6: by Erin (last edited Mar 21, 2013 06:23PM) (new)

Erin If i could go back to any moment in any of the books, it would be te moment when Kelsey meets Randi. Randi forces Ren to eat vegetables, and only vegetables. Then Nilma says that the whole staff hates her. I would tell Kelsey to talk to Ren. I would tell her to stand up for herself. I would ask her to tell him 'Listen, I know that you are dating Randi just to get back at me, but you need to find some other way to do it. She's making everyone else miserable, and they don't deserve that. Get her off the boat, or I will."

There is one other moment that i would go back to. I would go back to the moment where Ren is dancing with all of those girls at the party Kelsey and Wes go to. I would tell Kelsey that she needed to confront Ren about it. It pissed me off that Ren would go and do something like that, and it ovbiously pissed Kelsey off too. I would beg her to make Ren see that she is done fighting with him. I would ask her to tell him " This needs to stop. I don't care if you don't love me anymore, but at least show me a little respect and stop parading around with other girls. You aren't a prince in this day and age. Here, you are a normal man so you need to start acting like it." Honestly, I love all of the characters in these books, but i really felt like Kelsey could've stuck up for herself a little more. I hate it when women let themselves get pushed around by men. That is the reason i lived this series. Because eventually, Kells solves her problems, stops letting herself get pushed around, and follows HER heart, not someone elses.

Give aways are always exciting! I always love to see give aways! The thing is it depends on what kind of prizes thee are. If the prize involves a new book for me, ten i love the prize! More than one book or an autographed book makes the prize even better! I always like to see a give away with more than one winner, because I never seem to win when there is only one winner, no matter how hard I try. I love contests and random give aways. Either one brings on anticipation, which I love.

message 7: by Tori (new)

Tori I would go back to almost any part in tigers destiny and scream at her you are in love with ren you are meant to be with ren you may love kishan but you are in love with ren what is wrong with you but in the end I loved the book


message 8: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Roth I can't exactly remember what book this is from but I think it's Tiger's Quest, I would tell Kelsey to stay and fight instead of leave Ren to be taken prisoner, even if Ren wanted her safe


message 9: by Jenna (new)

Jenna Roth Oh and my other moment was to go and tell Kelsey not to get engaged to Kishan.


message 10: by Eliana (new)

Eliana Hello,

Well haha to pick just one moment is hard. But if I can remember correctly one of the times I actually did that(OMG noooooooo! Kelsey nooo!)Was when she got engaged to Kishan it was horrible! I saw it coming but well it still hurt.Honestly love Kishan but Ren is REN! The whole thing was wrong/wright that's the thing with love.

message 11: by Kathrin (new)

Kathrin H. I would go back to the end in Tiger's Curse and tell Kelsey that she should stay with Ren and not leave him.


message 12: by Lizbeth (last edited Mar 22, 2013 02:39PM) (new)

Lizbeth I would go into the moment in Tiger's voyage when Ren is yelling at Kelsey for cutting her hair without telling him. I would have said to her,
"Kelsey, you did the right thing. You don't have to him what your doing because you should do things that make you happy. Whether it is cutting your hair or being with Kishan. Follow your heart and it'll lead you to happiness. He will just have to get use to it being a little shorter than before."

message 13: by Morgan (new)

Morgan I just wanna say that this is definitely one of my favorite series I've ever read.
I like Kelsey, but there were times when I literally wanted to shake her.

If I could go back in any of these books, it would be Tigers Quest, or Voyage to tell Kelsey to let Kishan go. She caused so much unnecessary hurt to all of them. I know Ren forgot about her after quest when they rescued him, but I feel that she should have stuck by his side. She needs to let go of her insecurities and realize how much they both love her and how unfair she is being to BOTH of them.
After that point, when you start reading destiny, you get so upset with Kelsey because she is STILL with Kishan, and she still is in love with Ren. She even says in the books multiple times that she thinks she could end up loving Kishan, but she loves ren. Why waste time when you don't know what could happen in their next quest to save the tigers?

Bonus questions: I LOVE giveaways, I just never win anything:( but I like random and original prizes(dealing with the series, of course!)

message 14: by Greyson (new)

Greyson If I could go back in any of these books it would defently be in tigers voyage when she gives up on ren and picks kishan. I would tell her that true love can overcome any obstical and that even though he can't remember her he probably did it to protect her and he will always find her again.

message 15: by Amanda (new)

Amanda If I could go back I would go all the way back to beginning when Kelsey first learned Ren was her tiger. I remember shouting at my book, "I knew it I knew it!!!" and all the excitement I felt because I knew it was about to get good and I couldn't wait to see what happened. That excitement never faded as I made my way through the entire series in less than a week. Haha!

I love giveaways! The more the merrier I'd say... seeing as there's so many people that enter and so few that actually win. I think any kind of giveaway is pretty sweet, but different kinds of contests would be really fun like an art one or something creative like that. The best prizes are books of course!! Though it would be soooo amazing to have won a chance to meet the author or something like that. I would like... die. Haha!


message 16: by Daniella (new)

Daniella There are sooo many times throughout this series where I wanted to go into the book and knock some sense into Kelsey and tell her that she is missing out on such a wonderful guy (Ren). But sadly, that did not happen and I was left in the real world shaking the book, trying to let out my frustration. If I could go back to one particular time, it would be when Kishan proposes to Kelsey on the beach in front of the shirtless and handsome Ren. I just died a little inside. How could she bind herself to Kishan and further string him along on her emotional roller coaster when she KNEW that had a greater love and connection to Ren? If I could, I would go up to Kelsey in that moment, give her a piece of my mind, and steal Ren for myself. I do feel bad for Kelsey, though; sadly, in her times of need, she really had no one to confide in, such as her mother.

Honestly, I LOVE giveaways. The allure and the hope of possibly winning something, such as a signed copy of a book, just attracts me. Not to say that I win a lot, or at all, but I always like to keep trying. I like to see giveaways (any type) as often as possible, but I particularly like giveaways in which the author signs a book or something related to it. Just possessing something that the author signed or personally gave to me is exciting.


Verna Loves Books If there was a moment I could pick it would be in the end of Tiger's Curse. The moment when Ren finally tells Kelsey that he's falling in love with her. I was beyond excited at this moment. I would most definately like to go back and convince Kelsey that she's making a mistake by leaving. I would do my best to convince her to stay or atleast take Ren with her because they belong together. I chose this moment because when Ren gets taken in Tiger's Quest it completely killed me I bawled and then when she regretted leaving it was like I wished she had just stayed so they would've had more time together.

1. I really like giveaways.
2. I would like to see a giveaway atleast every week or every two weeks :)
3. As far as prizes go, a book is definately a good prize and maybe one thats autographed by the author.
4. The type of giveaways I like are random and contests.
5. I would like to add I really enjoyed reading the Tiger's series, I am in love with them. They are some of my favorite books I've read and I cant wait for the next one.


message 18: by Kaja (new)

Kaja Pańkowska If I could go back to any point of the series, I'd come back to the moment when Kelsey went from India to Oregon. I would say to her: "Oh ... Do not be stupid! Ren is a great man! Why are you leaving him? After you'll regret it ... Please do not leave him ..."

1 Yes.
2 Not all the time.
3 Books.
4 Contests.

Sorry if grammar is bad, or if the question is not answered in accordance with it, but I do not speak (and write) English very well yet.

message 19: by Erin (last edited Mar 25, 2013 06:25PM) (new)

Erin Oh! I found another moment! I would go back to Tiger's Destiny, where Kelsey sees Ren hugging Anamika. She goes all hormonal on everybody. Being angry, then sad, then angry again, and then on to depressed. I would tell her to grow up and get over herself. I know that sounds harsh, but let me continue. I would make her see that having a coversation with BOTH brothers about how she is feeling would make her life so much easier. To be honest, this book was really hard for me to get through. Not because it was boring, but because of the emotions that were constantly changing. I suffered Kelsey's pain with her, and cried at the end when she did. I'm sorry Colleen, but I threw my book at the wall at the end because I was feeling so strongly for Kelsey during this part. It was incredible, but there were many times that I found myself holding myself back from screaming or crying in the middle of class. I couldn't put it down!

message 22: by NaKayla (new)

NaKayla I would go back to Tiger's Destiny when Ren was hanging out with Anamika and she got all jealous over that when she has a perfectly, hot guy like Kishan. I mean who wouldn't want a hot bad boy. I sure do.

message 24: by Gabbi (new)

Gabbi i would go back to the moment in Tiger's Quest when Ren showed up on Kelsey's adopted family's doorstep on Christmas with the present for her. I love how she was so surprised and happy with a hint of anger. I also liked how her adopted father got so excited seeing Ren's car and her adopted mother instantly turned into her approving bestie. Ren was also amazing with the little ones.


message 25: by Miranda (new)

Miranda Hannah I would go back to Tiger's Quest right when they all realized Ren could not remember Kelsey. I would tell Kelsey to go find Kishan, kiss him, and MAKE SURE Ren saw her kissing him.
