December Wrap-Up

NEW BOOKS:

JULIA QUINN and ELOISA JAMES released The Lady Most Likely…, a novel in three parts also with perennial favorite (but alas, not a wax-sited author) Connie Brockway. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUSES: Special soundtrack from Julia just for this book. And from Eloisa, an insider look into how the book was conceptualized.

Also out from ELOISA JAMES: Storming the Castle, an exclusive digital-only novella, connected to Eloisa’s fairytale, A Kiss at Midnight. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUS: See above. Two books in one week. Bonus enough, methinks.

JENNIE LUCAS just released The Bride Thief, which arrived in several stores early in time for the holidays. It was released in the UK under the title The Virgin’s Choice in October. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUS: In one of my favorite shows of Holiday Trimming, Jennie decorated her tree to match her website and snapped a photo just for readers and put it up on her home page. It’s only up until the 3rd or 4th or January — then y’all will have to wait until next year.

MAYA BANKS just released No Place to Run, Book Two in the Kelly Series. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUS: Maya’s blog updates all the time — I mean, ALL THE TIME. A gazillon fans can’t be wrong. Check it out.

LAURA LEE GUHRKE just released Wedding of the Season, the first installment in her new Abandoned at the Altar series. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUS: You have to love content that starts with “Being dumped sucks.” Get the whole scoop here.

MONICA MCCARTY just released The Ranger, Book Three in the Highland Guard series. AUTHOR WEBSITE BONUS: Special Features. Special Features. Special Features. This site is full of them. And brand newly posted is a deleted scene from The Hawk, the book that immediately precedes The Ranger.
