CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. WINNERS WILL BE CONTACTED VIA EMAIL! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ENTERING

Book Video for Lauren Dane’s upcoming Berkley Heat title RELENTLESS releasing May 5

You can read excerpts and advance reviews at my website.

In this erotic universe, passion knows no rank…

Since the first settlers came through the portals from Earth, fifteen Families have held the rule of the Federated Universes in their hands. There’s never been a better time than now to throw out the old and usher in a new order. Give voice to the unranked. Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. A fighter, she’s always been too busy and driven to pay much attention to finding love. But when she’s granted audience with Roman Lyons, the head of House Lyons, who stands for everything she hates, her instant attraction catches Abbie off-guard…

It’s common knowledge that the Known Universe revolves around Ravena—and that Ravena revolves around Roman Lyons, bred to lead since birth. Roman dreads his meeting with a defiant—if stunning—rabble-rouser. But, sometimes, headstrong personalities in the conference room make for hot-and-heavy, guilty trysts in private….

Now, Abbie will show Roman the parts of her world he wouldn’t otherwise get to see. And he’ll give her a glimpse of the Families’ age old tradition and unleash a sexuality he’d never given rein to before.

Now On To The Contest Details!!

This is an ARC contest for my upcoming Heat release, Relentless. The intent of an ARC is to get readers and reviewers talking about the book – so essentially what I’m asking people to do is talk about the book – review it at your blog or at your reader group or review site between April and May 5, when the book releases.

The winners just send the link with their review and agree let me quote it at my blog and website (with proper attribution, natch). I don’t require that you like the book although I hope you do!

THE RULES (please read carefully) All you need to do to enter is reply to this post and tell me where you’d be talking about the book if you win (urls are always helpful if you mean your blog!). I’ve got a limited amount of ARCS so I’ll choose winners based on that supply. I also have a limited number of electronic ARCs so if you’d be willing to read and review an electronic ARC, say so in the comments

I’ll announce the winners by Noon March 1 at my main blog and contact winners off list – please include an email so I can notify you and get your mailing address!

Good Luck!!

Oh and btw – ARCs are in the air and if you love good books, you should head on over to Jaci Burton’s blog where she’s running an ARC contest of her own for her next Wild Riders book – Riding on Instinct

    Did I win yet?

    There once was a writer named Shan
    Who came up with a desperate plan
    To get her hands on this book
    ‘Cause on this series she’s hooked
    And on her blog tell all she’s a fan

    😀

    Electronic ARC, scrawled on a napkin, whatever works. 😆

    Hi Lauren!

    I’d love to review your book! (I’d prefer it in print though because I do not own an ebook reader) I’d post the review on my blog (the blog link is below), on my GoodReads, Library Thing, and Shelfari accounts.

    I loved Undercover and I can’t wait for Relentless‘s release!

    I’ll be reviewing it over at Literary Escapism (www.literaryescapism.com)

    I know ebooks are starting to become the latest fad, but I’m still a printed book kind of girl. There’s just something about being able to curl up with a good book that a machine hasn’t been able to duplicate yet.

    Lauren, your upcoming Relentless sounds fascinating.

    I don’t have a spot of my own but I know I discuss it and comment about reading it on the Samhain cafe.
    But I’ll have to ask them about doing a full Reader Review there. It’s one of the ‘grey’ areas there. LOL

    I can also have it posted to a friend’s blog. Theresa has posted several of my reviews there.
    At: http://ebookaddict2.blogspot.com/

    You mentioned electronic format Lauren, and that would work for me if you have adobe format, or even word.

    My addy is: mamasand2@hotmail.com

    Good Luck with this new release,

    Sandie

    I would love to review this, as well. I would post a review to bn.com and amazon, as welll as chat it up at AAR. Everyone has a blog or myspace or facebook, I guess, but me! I need to get on that train. I have no problem with an e-arc. Will there be Kindle version?

    OT Rant/ I don’t know why I am asking? Kindle versions seem to take forever to appear and/or are ridiculously overpriced!! So frustrating!//End Rant/
