Just a little over a week until INSIDE OUT releases from Berkley! (NEW CONTENT BELOW THIS POST)
Man do I love this cover!
WORTH THE WAIT
Ella Tipton is a survivor. In the wake of an attack that left her nearly dead, she’s spent each day putting her life back together. Once vibrant and outgoing, she’s needed to reclaim the best parts of who she was while retaining the hard won lessons. There hasn’t been room for any romantic entanglements, even if she were ready. Still, it didn’t mean she had to stop sneaking looks at Mister Tall, Dark and Tattooed himself.
Security professional Andrew Copeland isn’t quite sure when his jones for the lovely and decidedly skittish Ella developed. He’s known her for years, has watched her triumph over the pain she’d been dealt. Cope is no stranger to women, but he knows the nervous flush he gets every time he talks to her is different than any attraction he’s had in the past. Determined to get Ella to let him in, Andy does the one thing he can think of to get close: he offers her hands-on training in self-defense.
While Ella’s sure he’s just being nice, the prospect of being able to touch him and gain the tools to push away the last vestiges of her fear is more than she can resist. Soon enough, Cope shows Ella his feelings are far more than friendly and re-ignites something deep inside her. Before long desire and love turn them both inside out.
In the grand prize we have:
Signed copy of INSIDE OUT
Copy of The Essential Pablo Neruda (amazing collection of his poetry side by side in English and Spanish). In INSIDE OUT, Cope reads Neruda to Ella – often while naked and in bed.
Organic Drip Grind Cafe Ladro Coffee (Ella’s favorite and mine too)
Copy of Mary Oliver’s New and Selected Poems (Ella discusses poetry with Cope and references Oliver’s Wild Geese as her favorite)
All in a fantastic and fun pin up girl tote with some other fun swag tossed in to compliment the theme!
Daily Prizes:
Digital ARC of INSIDE OUT
Digital copy of SECOND CHANCES
Paper copy of LAID BARE
Paper copy of COMING UNDONE
Digital ARC of the follow up to Second Chances, BELIEVE
Winner’s Choice of my available backlist
All in all, not a bad week of contests I’d wager!
RULES (and you know this would come): Winners will be chosen at random from the daily blog entries for the daily prizes. All winners have SEVEN DAYS to claim their prize. International entrants are welcome – if you can read me in New Zealand, you can certainly enter if you live there. A grand prize winner will be chosen from all comments and awarded on Monday, November 1. Must be at least 18 to enter and win.
I’m leaving this at the top so all new content will be BELOW. Good luck!

I am so excitted about this book. I have fallen in love with this series. I really like that it focuses a lot of attention on women over coming great obstacles and becoming empowered. I like that the men of the series are strong and loving and that they add just the right balance. Each character has been so unique and well written I can’t wait to read Cope and Ella’s story next week!

I love the cover for Inside Out, I think it is my favourite from this series. Coming Undone is one of my favourite re-reads so I can’t wait until I purchase the eBook of Inside Out.

PS .. finally managed to get the eBook of Insatiable a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is by far the best prize I’ve seen for a contest!!
I’m so looking forward to reading this book.
I know we have a while before we learn what Adrian’s book is about, but I do have to say that if Raven is the H in it I won’t be upset :wink:As long as she does something to redeem herself after the way she treated Elise.
Happy writing!!!

This book looks amazing and I cant wait until it comes out!

Favorite Covers: Of course, your Laid Bare, and Megan Hart’s Tempted and Stranger.
What/who is sexy? Jon Bon Jovi…anyday, anytime, anywhere, anyhoo…er, um, ‘scuse me, sorry! 😳
I like men with well-tone, well-developed, well-defined chest, shoulders and abs, and some facial “scruff.” And, hey, how about a little chest hair. What has happened these days to the men with chest hair? I’m not talking grizzly bear, shag carpet, but something to run your fingers through and a happy trail leading the way to the good stuff. Uh-huh! Is that too much to ask for?
