Today’s book is: Beth Kery’s Daring Time! I got an early look at this one and you’re all in for a treat! You can read an excerpt at Beth’s site by clicking the link above.
He sees her, wants her, needs her…
Chicago Detective Ryan Daire has many secrets: a love for Shakespeare, an appreciation for the all the finer things in life, and an absolute lack of restraint in the bedroom. Now he has an even bigger secret. In every shifting shadow of the sprawling mansion he’s recently inherited he can see her—tempting, ethereal, and untouchable. Hope Stillwater inhabited that mansion in 1906. Raw desire has formed a conduit between these two passionate souls who are separated by the barrier of time.
Now he has to have her.
Intoxicated by each other’s presence, Ryan and Hope are closer than ever to crossing that inviting boundary between two worlds. But there is one grave danger: Ryan’s job has put him on the trail of a depraved criminal in an investigation that’s risking Hope’s eternal fate and happiness. Now he must do whatever it takes to change history, protect Hope from harm, and set his own desires free.
Today’s Question: Which season is your favorite and why?
Winners will be announced tomorrow (April 29) at noon pacific! Winners have seven days to claim their prize, after that time, I’ll redraw for a new winner. Good luck!!

Definitely autumn, I love the warm, not-too-hot temperatures, the changing colors of the foliage, and the kids going back to school~Woo-Hoo!

Autumn – the weather is more tame, not that hot yet not cold either, the perfect temperature, there is a crispness to the air, leaves change to bright yellow, orange, and red, Halloween/Samhain my fav holiday is around the corner

Spring. I love the rebirth of all the greenery, the milder-but-not-hot (with this week being a glaring exception, grr) weather, the return of all the birds, the annual community herb sale, the re-opening of the local farmers’ market — it’s all good for me!

I love autumn, the wonderful colors, red, orange and gold in the trees and the blue, blue sky. And everything is back to normal again!

Early fall, when things are cool at night and still warm during the day, plus there are still leaves on the trees.

My season is Spring. Watching everything come back to life is rejuvenating. Plus, I enjoy getting out and planting my garden and flowers. Have a great day.

Spring is my favorite because I love all of the beautiful colors that erupt after a long dreary winter.
April 28th, 2009 at 6:03 am · Link
Fall is my favorite. The crisp smell of the air, the falling of the leaves. But the best thing of all is the costumes the kids wear on Halloween and all the candy.

Summer – I live in Minnesota (enough said!).
April 28th, 2009 at 6:15 am · Link
It’s got to be the Fall. While I love the Spring flowers and Summers at the Lake, there is just something about that crisp fall weather with the scents of fireplaces burning somewhere and the myriad of colors in the trees. Plus you get to break out all those sexy sweaters and snuggle with the one you love, just to keep warm of course… 😉

I love the spring b/c that’s when everthing starts turning green and I get to start planting my garden and the cold finally goes away.
April 28th, 2009 at 6:50 am · Link
Spring. Everything comes back to life, it’s not too hot and birds are singing, grass is green… And the days are longer – summer saving time and all 😛

Fall. After a summer of Texas heat and dinner salads for 3 months, I look forward to cooler weather, beautiful falling leaves, and my favorite…Halloween.

I love summer – the kids are out of school and we don’t have a schedule to live by. No bedtimes or early morning rush to get everybody ready for school and work. We have more time to spend at the lake, their friends come over and I love seeing how they interact with each other.
We do have high humidity in GA, especially during July and August, but I still love summer the best!
I love the cover of Beth’s book, and would especially love to have that bed in my house!

Spring is a time to see thing start to be reborn. We start seeing buds and other plants start to pop their heads out. The temps aren’t too hot yet but isn’t too hot yet either
April 28th, 2009 at 7:27 am · Link
Spring has always been a favorite of mine. I love the weather, the flowers in bloom, and just the overall feel of spring. I love spring thunderstorms, but since I’ve moved to Oklahoma….not so much anymore.
April 28th, 2009 at 7:34 am · Link
Summer. I love to wear shorts, capris and sandals and I love to garden and go fishing with my husband.
April 28th, 2009 at 7:37 am · Link
I have learned to love our fall. Most people don’t like when the days start to get shorter and darker, but I love it 🙂
April 28th, 2009 at 7:40 am · Link
I absolutely love winter. I love the snow. I also don’t mind that it gets rid of bugs.
April 28th, 2009 at 8:05 am · Link
My Favorite season is the fall Lauren. I love the crisp clean air and the fall colors. I also love that the temperatures are neither too hot nor cold, it is perfect.
Thank you so much for the ongoing contest!
Beth’s book rocks. 😀
Best Regards

I love autumn, partly because it’s the easiest season for my allergies, but mostly because of the brisk weather, the colors (would love to see the east coast during that time of year) and my favorite holiday (Halloween). 🙂

Spring, hands down.
There is renewal and hope in spring–and I don’t care how corny that sounds!
I love going out in the morning and seeing new buds and leaves in the trees, the grass coming back up, the birds nesting…
It just makes me smile, and there’s no better way to start a day than with a smile, is there?

My favorite is Spring. I love when all the flowers start blooming and we can play outside without getting too hot.
April 28th, 2009 at 9:29 am · Link
I like autumn. The colors of the changing leaves are so beautiful and the weather is comfortable, not too hot and not too cold.
April 28th, 2009 at 9:34 am · Link
Fall is my favorite season. I live on top of a mountain and it gives a gorgeous view of all of the trees in their glorious colors!
April 28th, 2009 at 9:36 am · Link
Fall – The weather is cooling down from summer but its not cold like winter yet. Also the colors are beautiful and I dont have the allergy problems I have in Spring.

Winter is my favorite season. The ending of the year and the begining of a new one. Plus living in my part of Cali I get to go to the beach on christmas. 😀
April 28th, 2009 at 10:58 am · Link
definitely summer. I never complain how hot it is because it is better than winter…
April 28th, 2009 at 11:32 am · Link
Summer is my favorite season. I can’t stand the cold, so the hotter the weather the better 🙂
April 28th, 2009 at 11:43 am · Link
I think it is a toss up between Spring when you have everything growing and blooming and Fall when you have all the great colors. 😛

I love Autumn..the crispness in the air, the beautiful colors of the leaves, the perfect temperature for a cuddle, and getting the chance to pull out the scarves and boots.
I also love the smells and tastes of fall..the apple cider, pumpkin and apple pies, and hot chocolate..yumm!

It has to be Fall. The blessed relief from a scorching hot summer, the cool evenings, the leaves changing color, the mums–even the air has a crisper, cleaner smell. The grass starts to grow again and I love the smell of a freshly mown lawn in the fall. And there’s something to savor in those few short months before in all goes downhill into winter!

Mine is Autumn, enjoy the relief of the warm weather and it’s the beginning of college football season.

Hi all! Lauren, thanks for highlighting Daring Time. The answer for me is fall. It always seems to signal new beginnings for me.

Summer!!!! I feel forever young during the summer months.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:21 pm · Link
Spring because my attitude improves so much when I can start getting outside again after being cooped up all winter…and it’s WARM!
April 28th, 2009 at 1:34 pm · Link
Summer! It’s great to get out of the house without multiple layers of clothes.
I like gardening, swimming and just being outside more!
April 28th, 2009 at 1:48 pm · Link
Fall is my favorite season. I love when the leaves change colors.
April 28th, 2009 at 2:21 pm · Link
Spring and Fall are both great but I will have to go with Fall as the top fave since I am less allergic to it!
April 28th, 2009 at 2:35 pm · Link
Winter, hands down.
No bugs, no heat, and no pollen (or at least smaller amounts of it). And there is snow!
April 28th, 2009 at 2:53 pm · Link
Spring–it’s fabulous to see the sun and it isn’t too hot yet 🙂

I love the spring because all the flowers bloom and I get the chance to finally wear t-shirts and dresses outside!

Autumn is my favorite season. I live in Canada so fall is beautiful. Fall brings fairs, warm clothes and it is perfect snuggle weather.

My favorite season is late spring. Because its not too hot and there is usually some really nice breezes.

Spring. I love the warmer weather and how everything comes back to life. It reminds me that there is an end to the dark times.

I like summer best. Kids are out of school, going to the shore, eating fresh vegetables from the garden, what else could be better?

Spring, I love seeing everything start coming up and seeing winter over and the weather is just right.
