Romance Historical

The Weston siblings have been blessed with Shakespearean names and an affinity for impropriety.

Prepare to fall in love while discovering how the Westons are won.

Isabella is determined to marry James....

Isabella Weston has loved James Sheffield for as long as she can remember. Her come-out ball seems the perfect chance to make him see her in a new light.

James is determined never to marry....

James is stunned to find the impish girl he once knew has blossomed into a sensual goddess. And if he remembers his lessons correctly, goddesses always spell trouble for mortal men.

A compromise is clearly necessary.

When Izzie kisses James, her artless ardor turns to a masterful seduction that drives him mad with desire. But, no stranger to heartbreak, James is determined never to love, and thus never to lose. Can Isabella convince him that a life without love might be the biggest loss of all?

I married the boy next door.

Happy Valentine's Day!

(Gigi Hicks 9:07am February 12, 2010)

Hi Sara. Great post. I would love to win a copy of your book.
(Crystal Broyles 9:19am February 12, 2010)

I love this list! The Professor made me smile so I'm going to have to go with him! It was the Indiana Jones reference. Seems I have a weakness for a man in tweed, LOL
(Amber Leigh Williams 9:59am February 12, 2010)

Hi, Sara! Congratulations on your book release. I'm so excited for you!

I love the rough, tough, "gruff with a big heart" Alpha Male. Someone masculine, smart, sexy, protective and slightly possessive. The love of my life is Sam Elliott : ) Happy Valentine's Day!!!
(Ginger Campbell 12:27pm February 12, 2010)

I love the cover of this book, it just screams ROMANTIC! Best Wishes!
(Jane Lange 12:50pm February 12, 2010)

Love James Malory!!! Thanks for the chance to win your book... Beautiful cover!

I just finished reading Susan Crandall's new book Sleep No More so I will have to go with Jason. He took such good care of Abby. Happy Valentine's Day to all.
(Judy Anderson 12:59pm February 12, 2010)

This is a good list of Valentine
heroes!
(Margay Roberge 1:00pm February 12, 2010)

Promise Me Tonight sounds like FUN!!!!
Blessings,
Marjorie
(Marjorie Carmony 1:17pm February 12, 2010)

I love learning about new authors! The book sounds great!
(Angelique Richardson 1:59pm February 12, 2010)

I love this list and pick the man's man, bad boy, and best friend.
(Leni Kaye 2:04pm February 12, 2010)

A warm pick-me-up for a cold snowy day!
(Danelle Drake 2:12pm February 12, 2010)

What a nice contest. I keeping hearing very good things about this book.
(Kim C 2:23pm February 12, 2010)

The Professor is first with his smart brain and all that stuff he wants to explain. The Charmer runs a close second because I never get tired of hearing sweet nothings. He's overflowing with romance to sway my mind his way. The powers of persuasion are a force to be reckoned with in his hands.
(Alyson Widen 2:54pm February 12, 2010)

I think that I would go with the Bad Boy. Rhett Butler still makes my heart beat faster. Thank you for an interesting post.
(Rosemary Krejsa 3:13pm February 12, 2010)

Historical fiction is my favorite genre! My
hubby is baking me a coconut cake from
scratch - he pounded the coconuts too!
He's my V-day hero.
(Molly Wilsbacher 4:26pm February 12, 2010)

This sounds like the type of book to read on V Day and get you in the mood.

Cynthia
(Cynthia Plaza-Harney 5:06pm February 12, 2010)

This wins my Heart. I go for the Bad Boy. Love to tame the Wildness but still keep love live! Also Sam Elliott is the Love of my Life...in my dreams.

Keep the Fantastic Reads coming. Great Story....Be still my beating heart...Woot Woot.
(Shirley Sego 5:16pm February 12, 2010)

You are a new author for me and
your book sounds interesting! I
look forward to reading your
books!
(Rebecca DeCourley 5:30pm February 12, 2010)

I love them all but the Man's Man & The Professor get my heart racing.
(Mary Preston 5:54pm February 12, 2010)

I agree with your broader take on Valentine's Day. As for the "Romance readers never go to bed alone" saying, I really need that on a nightshirt.
(G. Bisbjerg 7:28pm February 12, 2010)

You certainly put in a good plug for all of the types and I love variety. I think I met all of them at times. LOL
(Gladys Paradowski 7:32pm February 12, 2010)

If your book is anything close to Johanna Lindsay's I would love to try it. Good luck with your writing.
(Diane Sadler 8:08pm February 12, 2010)

Good luck with your book. I love reading everything I get my hands on and hope I win. Happy Valentines Day to all.
(Evelyn Day 9:24pm February 12, 2010)

I love a good romance and a
historical makes it perfect.
(Lisa Richards 9:30pm February 12, 2010)

This book looks yummy and I'd love a chance to win it!!!
(Mitzi Hinkey 9:32pm February 12, 2010)

We should celebrate romance everyday
not just once a year! Thank you for being
one of the many authors that make it
possible.
(Jung Ja Ahn 9:46pm February 12, 2010)

(Martha Lawson 10:20pm February 12, 2010)

Congrats on your debut release, Sara. You mentioned one of my favorite heroes, Dylan Hart. I love Tara's books and her heroes.
(Jane Cheung 11:23pm February 12, 2010)

I nice combination of genres makes this worth reading.
(Vikki Parman 12:08pm February 13, 2010)

Bad boys all the way, great contest!
(Darci Paice 1:03am February 13, 2010)

Your book looks great, Sara! And I love your heroe's choices. I like them all, but the bad boy just a little more.
:o)
(Julia Blanco 12:37pm February 13, 2010)

Just the title "Promise Me Tonight" makes me want to read it!
(Patsy Hagen 12:41pm February 13, 2010)

I love the theme of the boy or girl next door. Sometimes you just don't realize what you already have.
(Sigrun Schulz 12:46pm February 13, 2010)

I have not read any book written by you. I will definitely stop by the bookstore and take a look at your book.
(Kai Wong 2:35pm February 13, 2010)

I wonder how many across the country have been snowed-in for Valentine's Day before. I guess everyone saw where there was snow in 49 out of our 50 states this week...the exception being Hawaii and they checked the top of the volcano there hoping to make a record of snow in all 50 states. No snow was found on the top of the volcano even though there has been snow there in the past.
(Gladys Paradowski 7:47pm February 13, 2010)

I love the charmer. Somehow, having a good laugh while he's turning it on just appeals to me. Happy Valentine's Day.
(Armenia Fox 9:14pm February 13, 2010)
