Sizzling Summer Reads Party
I know it’s not quite summer yet, but it’s never to early to pretend that it is, right?

Drag out your floppy hat, strappy sandals, and sunscreen. Don your bikini, shades, and grab a frosty beverage, cuz there’s a party going on right now! But don’t bring a beach read with you. Instead, win a book or two at The Romance Reviews Sizzling Summer Reads party. There’s a $100 gift certificate grand prize, not to mention four weeks of giveaways – lots of books and other prizes – and games galore. The prizes change every week, so don’t miss out. Especially week four, ahem. I’m giving away a copy of Wonderfully Wicked. But if you’re not feeling lucky and/or don’t want to wait, Wonderfully Wicked is on sale right now for 99 cents. That’s 99 pennies, people! Plus, you’d be saving $3 of your hard-earned cash.
