GIVEAWAY: win the first two books in the Blessings, GA series!

I love writing stories about the people in my Blessings, Georgia series. SAVING JAKE is the most recent and is an October 4th release. I’ve been trying to narrow down my favorite characters in this story, but I’m about to give it up because they’re all so important to the story that I couldn’t separate a one. Having said that, if I had to pick:

  • Favorite characters: Bonnie Carol and her pet chicken, Lavonne.
  • Worst villain in a Blessings book: Truman Slade
  • Best secondary characters always: Ruby Dye and her girls from The Curl Up and Dye.
  • Unsung hero in Blessings: P.Nutt Butterman, Esquire
  • Best place to gather: Granny’s Country Kitchen
  • Lessons learned: The past does not define our future.

From me to you… here’s another story from the best small town in the south -
Blessings, Georgia.

I’d love to know how my readers would fill these out:
  • Favorite Character:
  • Worst Villain from any Blessings book:
  • Best secondary character:
  • Unsung Hero:
  • Best Place to Gather:
  • Lessons Learned:
Tell us below and you'll be eligible to win a copy of the first two Blessings, Georgia novels (YOU AND ONLY YOU and I’LL STAND BY YOU).

SAVING JAKE by Sharon Sala

Blessings, Georgia #3

Saving
Jake

Love heals in New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala's newest contemporary romance

There is always hope

After eight years in the Marines, Jacob Lorde returns to Blessings, Georgia, with no plans other than to hole up in his empty house and heal what's left of his soul. But with a charming next door neighbor and a town full of friendly people, keeping to himself is easier said than done.

As long as you can come home

Laurel Payne understands far too well what Jake is going through, after witnessing her late husband experience similar problems. She's in no hurry to jump into another relationship with a complicated guy, but their attraction is undeniable-and perhaps exactly what both of them need.

Romance Contemporary [Sourcebooks Casablanca, On Sale: October 4, 2016, Mass Market Paperback / e-Book, ISBN: 9781492634638 / eISBN: 9781492634645]
