Book of the Day: Mercury’s War, by Lora Leigh

Nothing matches Lora Leigh’s latest entry in the series about genetically altered Breeds with feline DNA—and the humans who awaken their desire.

Someone has been slipping the Sanctuary’s secure information to a pharmaceutical company. Now it’s up to Ria Rodriguez to pose as a clerk and uncover the leak. Yet she has no idea of the danger she’s about to encounter—or the passion she’s about to ignite in one of the greatest Breeds ever created.

Want a chance to win this book? Comment and answer the question below.** I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please. FYI — This book doesn’t release until October 7th, so I’ll get it to you once I have it.

You have just been visited by Seymour, the magical wish-giving chipmunk. (I couldn’t find a good picture of a chipmunk, so just imagine one. Work with me, people.) What three things do you wish for?

No wishing for more wishes! Oh, and Christian Bale is mine, so back off!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

* I reserve the right to delete any answers I deem creepy. My blog is a no creepy zone.

  1. My three wishes
    1) To be in shape (and I am willing to work for it so the granting of the wish could be a personal trainer)
    2) To be happy with my life (this doesn’t have to mean making a lot of money, or the best house, or if/when I have kids, to make them perfect. I just want everything to be good.)
    3) Yeah, I have to say MONEY! ( I can’t say Rich cause, I already have a husband named Rich :grin:)


  2. One wish would be obvious – an endless supply of money so I can feed my book addiction. Another wish would be for the body I had in high school, or maybe a better one. Either way, just losing the weight I want to. And I don’t know what I would ask for the third question. The endless supply of money and the weight issues are my biggest concerns at the moment. Maybe immortality without all the hangups that most mortals have (i.e. sunlight, stakes, silver, etc).


  3. hummmm…..ok i want…..a knockout face and body(without surgery-lol)…….a new car-with gas fer life!!!!……and….hummmm……lets see…a big ole fat gift certificate!!!!!


  4. Ohh. I would love to enter in the contest.

  10. My three wishes would be:

    1. That my son grows up to be the best that he can with a secure and happy life.
    2. Then I would wish for my very own bookstore! Of course it would be mostly romance books!
    3. Hmm, my third wish, I think I would pass on to my husband if I could and let him wish for whatever he wanted.

    3. To be financially able to not only do what I want, but to help my family as well.
