I love Jill Shalvis’s “Double Play.” Just something about baseball in the summertime. Love it.
I’d love bag #2 please!
So far, Savor the Moment by Nora Roberts has been my favorite. Also Meg Cabot’s Insatiable
Ooo Ooo Ooo Bag 2! No! Bag 1! No! Both! No… I’d love to have either, seriously, and I love the idea of the pretty bags.
Number 2 is probably more my stride, though I’ll just be excited to get back into some straight romances (no offence, JD Robb. you’ve been great and all, but I need a break. Something swoopy and swoonworthy will do
It’s reaching back a long way, but Summer of My German Soldier is one of my favorites.
I’d love bag two! (And yes, this UK weather sucks.)
I’ve just started on Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels (quite late, I know!), so Dead Until Dark is one of my top romance reads for the summer.
Another big romance book for me is Johanna Lindsey’s latest Mallory Novel: That Perfect Someone.
I’d love bag 2!
The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss would be my favorite summer read.
I’d pick bag 2.
For summer romances, I would have to say 30 Boy Summer and The Last Song.
Both bags seem great, but I will go with number one. I love Debbie Macomber.
oops! That should be 20 Boy summer.
Two of my favorite summer reads would have to be Beach Girls by Luanne Rice and The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.
Bag one!
Rachel Vincent – Alpha Series…love the fact that I found it and read it just in time to read the last one that comes out Oct 1st, closing it up!!
It’s not really a summer romance, but I recently finished Anna Campbell’s Captive of Sin was enthralled!
I’d love to have Bag #2.
Thank you!
Recently finished Kristan’s All I Ever Wanted–loved it! Probably my favorite of her books thus far.
Would love either bag, but as I already have Kristan’s book (obviously) I choose Bag #1.
That’s a hard question because I have read so many excellent summer reads so to mention just one is unfair to the rest but I’ll pick FULLY INVOLVED by Amy Knupp. I’d take either bag but if I have to make a choice it would be #1.
My favorite summer reading book has to be Michelle Sagara’s latest in the Cast series. I would love to win bag #2.
My favourite summer romance read ever is The Pursuit Of Happiness by Douglas Kennedy, from this year I think I’d have to choose The Search by Nora Roberts.
I think bag 2 is my preferred although having not yet read the books they both look fabulous!
My Favorite summer read whould have to be the Fools Gold Series by Susan Mallery especially Chasing perfect. I would love to win bag #2.
Ah, Meg Benjamin’s Venus in Blue Jeans–sweet, sexy romance in Texas! Yeehaw.
I’d love bag 1
Great contest!
My favorite summer read has been Demon Blood by Brook. I would love to win bag #1.
My favorite summer read is Jennifer Weiner’s, Fly Away Home. I would love to win bag 2
My favorite summer read has been the Fools Gold Series by Susan Mallery. Perfect summer reading.
I’d love to win bag #2
My favorite summer romance read is Easy on the Eyes by Jane porter. I love it !!
Oh, i love to win bag #2 please
Ok, I have a few to choose from
1. An Almost Perfect Summer by Rona S. Zable
It is about a teenage girl who goes to work as an au pair/mother’s helper for a rich family over summer, and begins to fall for the handsome young man who lives next door. I really enjoyed this novel, it is the perfect YA summer novel, very well written and romantic. Definitely the type of novel one wants to read while lazing under the sun.
2. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
This is not only for summer, but I did read it during one of my summer breaks, and it is one of my favourite tales of romance, of love that survives decades. I think it is absolutely a wonderful novel and very romantic in its own, original way. In some ways it is unexpected, for example the way that has so many different flings with so many women, some of which end tragically, and yet after he can honestly say he has only ever loved and is still awaiting her. And they finally do get together. Lovely.
3. Lastly, so as not to bore you, A Summer Storm by Robyn Donald. This is a classic romance, a simple school teacher is swept of her feet by a handsome rich successful man, falls in love, but is convinced that he is only after a short fling. She can’t imagine that he could be in love with her, but soon has to realise that her opinion of him may be wrong
I would most definitely like to win bag#1 please.
Thank you for a great competition.
