Today, I’m doing a giveaway of historical author Betina Krahn’s new romance, MAKE ME YOURS. It’s a marvelously fun romp through Victorian England with a spunky widowed innkeeper named Mariah and the bachelor gentleman Jack whose assignment from the Prince of Wales it is to find her a new husband… because the prince likes all his potential mistresses to be married. Only problem is, sparks start to fly.

1. I like books with the following characterizations:
a) Clever women who always come out on top.
b) Sexy, intelligent men who meet their match.
c) Fully-fleshed out secondary characters who add to the tapestry and texture of the story.
d) All of the Above
e) I prefer books with dishwater heroines, cardboard heroes, and secondary characters who might as well be patterns on the wallpaper.
2. I prefer my books to be:
a) Funny
b) Moving
c) Historically accurate
d) All of the Above
e) Dull
3. I read to be:
a) Educated

I was all Ds. Funny, if I’d said that in school, I’d have been traumatized (and probably grounded for life). Now I’m proud. =o)
BTW, loved the answer for Mostly Es.

I was mostly B’s with one A (I can’t help but love the funny books).
And thanks for making me miss Logan again with your mostly E’s answer!!!
Best Logan line EVER! Ok, maybe I shouldn’t say that but its definitely up there on the Logan quotes. Man, do I love Logan quotes. Sigh.

I’ve seen this in stores recently. I’m guessing that wackiness will ensue.

All my answer were Ds. I’ve never read Betina, I take your word that I need to go out and pick up her books. I love funny contemporary romances (just finished the recent Rachel Gibson), but I do grab the occasional historic (Mary Balogh, Amanda Quick). The book in the backpack today is Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce. Always looking forward to getting hooked on a new book.

Don’t put me in the contest, but I can’t wait for this book! I love Betina’s writing. She’s definitely one of my go-to writers when I’m trying to convince people that romance novels are not what they think they are. THE BOOK OF TRUE DESIRES is one my favorite novels of all time!

All D’s as well…I’m not sure if romance is my thing, but I’m willing to give it a try.
And I was totally thinking to myself, “That ‘evaporate’ line is from something I know…” Thanks for reminding me, Lisa S! Of course it’s from Logan. Awesome line. =)
