Let’s Get DEFIANT (Prize Alert!)

Posted in Romance on May 4th, 2011 by Cynthia Eden

Update: The winner is…WendyK! Congrats, Wendy!

Today, I want to spotlight a book for the historical lovers out there. (Come on–hot historicals are awesome, you know it!).

Kris Kennedy has a fabulous new book available–it’s called DEFIANT.  Here’s the cover:

And here’s the most excellent blurb:

A rogue knight and an enchanting renegade join forces to right old wrongs in award-winning author Kris Kennedy’s sizzling new medieval romance.

A warrior with questionable intentions . . .

Jamie Lost is the king’s most renowned commander, a fearless lieutenant ordered to kidnap an exiled priest before rebel forces close in. The mission is simple—until he meets a mysterious thief who will steal his quarry and then his heart.

A lady of remarkable courage . . .

Beautiful Eva is also seeking Father Peter, but she intends to protect him from a secret that could cost him his life. She senses that she, too, should fear Jamie—not just for his wickedly sharp sword and dangerously muscular body, but for the powerful longing he ignites within her.

A secret that could overthrow the king.

When a band of mercenaries abducts the priest, Jamie and Eva must form a volatile alliance. As civil war unfolds around them, they embark on an epic journey that betrays the truth about their hidden identities, their unexpected loyalties, and the simmering attraction that could seal their fates forever.

More Books!!

Posted in Romance on May 3rd, 2011 by Cynthia Eden

Sorry to be so quiet lately. I finished up the rough draft of my current Fallen Angel of Death story, and I’m editing and revising it in order to get it into nice shape for my editor. 🙂

But, while I’m out revising, there are some really good books being released into the wild today, so I thought I’d take a few minutes and share some that I like–and, hopefully, you can tell me some that I need to be looking for, too.

First up, my buddy Lisa Renee Jones has a new book on the shelves:

THE LEGEND OF MICHAEL is a fast-paced, hot-thrill ride of a book. I got to read an ARC, so I can definitely say I loved this book. 🙂 It’s the start of a new series, and I can’t wait to read more.

And are you looking for an intense romantic suspense read? Then you should check out Pamela Clare’s new BREAKING POINT.

That is an awesome cover.  And based on all the great reviews I’ve read of this book, it promises hot passion and some adrenaline fueled scenes sure to leave you turning pages as quickly as you can.

For the historical romance lovers out there, don’t miss Vanessa Kelly’s MY FAVORITE COUNTESS. I have adored every Vanessa Kelly book that I have ever read.  Can’t wait to get my grubby hands on her latest book!

And, because free deals are always fun:

DARK LEGACY by Anna DeStefano (I got this one yesterday and can’t wait to read it!) is currently free on the Kindle.

On a semi-related note (hey, we’re talking books!), I’m a featured author at the Bookaholics Romance Book Club for May. There’ s a fun interview posted, and, why, yes, there are giveaways!

So…what’s on your reading agenda?

Booking It: Books Released Today

Posted in Romance on April 26th, 2011 by Cynthia Eden

Since today’s a Tuesday, in Romanceland, that means it is a big book release day. So, I thought I’d share some books that I am looking forward to reading (and I hope you’ll share some that you’d like to read).

I was very saddened by the news that Beverly Barton had passed away. I think Beverly was a phenomenal author.  Her latest book, DEAD BY MORNING, is out today. I know it will be a great romantic suspense release.

I am also anticipating my friend Donna Grant‘s new release. UNTAMED HIGHLANDER promises to be a tale full of magic, passion, and emotion–how could I not be looking forward to this one?

Now tell me…what are you looking forward to reading? What should I be looking forward to? I’ve been in a writing cave lately, so I don’t want to miss out on good books!
