Among the Muses and Book of Secrets have partnered up to sweep you off your feet one weekend a month as we give our reviews on some of the old time romances known as bodice rippers. Yep, we love those kind of books!
So what is this weekend all about?
The last weekend of each month we'll alternate which blog is hosting the Bodice Ripper Revival. Friday will be the kick off day introducing you to the books of up for review and giveaway, Saturday the host's review post, and Sunday the partner blog will post her review of a different bodice ripper.
The best part of the event for you, the reader, is when you leave a comment on each of our reviews, it will count as one entry into a drawing to win either one of the books reviewed that weekend (depending on availability) or an eGC to a online store to purchase an ecopy yourself!
This Month's BRR Weekend Giveaway Rules:
- Leave a comment with your email addy on a Bodice Ripper review post at Book of Secrets (Saturday) and Among the Muses (Sunday) for one entry each. (Only one entry per review will count towards giveaway).
- Contest is open INTERNATIONALLY, shipped via The Book Depository (as long as it ships to the winner's country), and the winner will be able to pick from either reviewed selection as her/his paperback choice.
- Contest will run from the first Saturday post until 11:59PM EST the following Monday night.
- Winner will be chosen using Random.org and notified by e-mail.
This month's feature reads are:
Saturday at Book of Secrets:
DEVIL'S MISTRESS
By Heather Graham
DEVIL'S MISTRESS
By Heather Graham
If there was ever a devil who could lure and seduce the innocent, Lord Sloan Treveryan is that man. Captain of the Sea Hawk and bound to the king’s business, Treveryan may be a lord but he is no gentleman. Yet even he cannot ignore a lady in distress—or the temptation she provides.
Bewitched by Brianna MacCardle’s beauty, Scottish inquisitors have called her the devil’s own. Though Treveryan saves her from the witch-hunter’s clutches, how can she be grateful? He has carried Brianna off to America, claimed her, and taken her innocence. She vows that he will never capture her heart. But against her will she begins to fall in love—while swearing to reap revenge against the arrogant lord who has made her the devil’s mistress.
oOoOoOo
Sunday at Among the Muses:
FIRES OF WINTER
By Johanna Lindsey
FIRES OF WINTER
By Johanna Lindsey
Lovely and dauntless, abducted by invaders from across an icy sea, Lady Brenna vowed vengeance -- swearing no Viking brute would be her master...no barbarian would enslave her noble Celtic heart.
Yet Garrick Haardrad, the proud and powerful son of a ruthless Viking chieftan, claims her with a primitive abandon that leaves her breathless, igniting fires of passion that blaze through the cold Nordic nights and forge the unbreakable bonds of a fiery, eternal love.
We hope to see you this weekend!
