Snowed In With Her ExThanks to Alissa Letkowski of Meryl L. Moss Media Relations, Inc., I am giving away one copy of  Snowed In With Her Ex by Andrea Laurence.

Book Description:

Wedding photographer Briana Harper never expected to run into her ex at an engagement shoot and when a blizzard strands them alone in a remote mountain cabin, she knows she’s in trouble. She’s never forgotten Ian Lawson, but none of the reasons they broke up have changed.

He’s still a workaholic—and now he’s an engaged workaholic.  But Ian is also still a man who knows what he wants and what he wants is Briana. Untangling the lies of his current engagement leaves him free to indulge, but proving he’s changed may be this music mogul’s toughest negotiation yet.

About Andrea Laurence:Andrea Laurence

Andrea Laurence has been devouring books since she learned to read at the age of 3. An old portable typewriter got her started writing in her room at 8 and she’s been writing ever since. Her practical nature led her to pursue a master’s degree and a career that would pay the bills, but the writing bug continued to bite. She started working ferociously in her spare time to become a published author and has become an active member of her local RWA chapter, Heart of Dixie. After eight years and 11 completed manuscripts, she finally made the leap and got “the call” from Harlequin Desire on May 31, 2011.

A dedicated West Coast girl transplanted into the Deep South, Andrea is working on her real-life “happily ever after” with her boyfriend of 10 years and their collection of animals including two cats, two mutts and a Siberian husky that sheds like nobody’s business

Giveaway: Never Trust A Cowboy by Kathleen Eagle

NeverTrustACowboy_CoverThanks to Alissa Letkowski of Meryl L. Moss Media Relations, Inc., I am giving away one copy of Never Trust A Cowboy By Kathleen Eagle.

Book Description:

The last thing harried Lila Flynn needed was another cowboy to deal with, but new hire Del Fox was different than most sweet-talking wranglers. The hard worker had a gentle touch and eyes that spoke of a past he didn’t share. Lila soon found her hardened heart softening, frightening her more than any other hurdles she was facing.

Del’s assignment in Short Straw, South Dakota, was meant to be fast and simple. Falling for Lila Flynn, however, had complicated everything. If he did his job right it would mean destroying everything Lila had worked for. He’d given her every reason never to trust him with her heart, but when all was said and done, would she trust their love enough to give them a second chance?

Giveaway: Russian Tattoo by Elena Gorokhova

Russian TattooThanks to Loretta Eldridge of Simon & Schuster Canada, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Russian Tattoo’ by Elena Gorokhova.

Book Description:

An exquisite portrait of mothers and daughters that reaches from Cold War Russia to modern-day New Jersey, from the author of A Mountain of Crumbs—the memoir that “leaves you wanting more” (The Daily Telegraph, UK).

In A Mountain of Crumbs Elena Gorokhova describes coming of age behind the Iron Curtain and leaving her mother and her Motherland for a new life in the United States. Now, in Russian Tattoo, Elena learns that the journey of an immigrant is filled with everyday mistakes, small humiliations, and a loss of dignity. Cultural disorientation comes in the form of not knowing how to eat a hamburger, buy a pair of shoes, or catch a bus. But through perseverance and resilience, Elena gradually adapts to her new country. With the simultaneous birth of her daughter and the arrival of her Soviet mother, who comes to the US to help care for her granddaughter and stays for twenty-four years, it becomes the story of a unique balancing act and a family struggle.

Russian Tattoo is a poignant memoir of three generations of strong women with very different cultural values, all living under the same roof and battling for control. Themes of separation and loss, grief and struggle, and power and powerlessness run throughout this story of growing understanding and, finally, redemption. “Gorokhova writes about her life with a novelist’s gift,” says The New York Times, and her latest offering is filled with empathy, insight, and humor.

About Elena Gorokhova:Gorokhova, Elena
