******THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED******
In this sensuous and lust-filled otherworld, the Chosen are vampires fighting for their very existence.
It is Daria’s destiny to become one of them…
Daria Morris is a special forces agent with one obsession: to wreak vengeance on the brutal vampire who nearly destroyed her. Now she’s finally about to get her chance, on one condition. She must become something she detests: a vampire.
Her fate rests upon one man’s lethal bite. His name is Alejandro Martinez, and he can help her infiltrate a highly guarded group of the Chosen. But Alejandro is also a distraction for Daria. Because thirteen years ago, they shared a scorching night of passion neither has forgotten.
Now, while Daria struggles against her newfound bloodlust, the two must slip into the shadows to bring a monster to justice—even as their desire threatens to consume them. But under the cover of night, they’ll discover that it’s the darkness within that may stand in the way of their hunger for retribution…

Okay, guys, this is my book, so no bio/interview today. Want a chance to win a copy of The Chosen Sin? Tell me about the most recent book you’ve purchased. What compelled you to buy it? This contest is open to non-US entrants.
Important contest flotsam and jetsam. Please read….
I’m taking off for a few days at Disney, then I’ll be at the Romantic Times Bookclub Convention. After today, the daily book contests go on hiatus because I’ll be at Disney. The contests will resume once I get to the Romantic Times (RT) Convention hotel, on April 22nd. If you’re not familiar with RT, it’s a huge romance reader/romance author convention that Romantic Times Bookclub magazine puts on every year and is my reason for going to Florida.
I have the daily book contests set to start posting automatically again on the 22nd, so go ahead and enter every day. If for some reason I have internet connectivity issues, (I don’t anticipate any), once I get to the RT Con hotel hang tight and be patient. I’ll post the winners just as soon as I can.
Have fun while I’m off communing with Mickey, you all!!
The last book that I bought was SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson because I have heard good things about it.

by Lesley April 17th, 2009 at 2:13 amThe latest purchase was MY SUNSHINE by Catherine Anderson. The reason I bought it (although my wallet is literarily empty and I had to postpone payment by using my overused American Exp. card) was that all her books made me think about the life in general or my life. Also they are fun and have believable conversations and twists.

The second one, NI, I bought because…hello it’s by Lora Leigh. I love her books. She is always on my auto by lists. Love the Nauti, Elite Ops, Bound, and Breeds series. Can’t go wrong with one of her books, and a lot of them end up on my keeper shelf.

The Hunger Games By: Suzanne Collins – I’ve read sooo many good reviews of this book and I’m tired of waiting for the Kindle version!
For the Kindle I bought:
The Graveyard Book (Kindle Edition)
by Neil Gaiman Dave McKean – Read a ton of awesome reviews and I really want to read this!
Fade (Wake, Book 2) by Lisa McMann – I LOVED Wake and I’ve been waiting to read this because I know I’m going to want the next book in the series, so I’ve been prolonging that!
So, I’ve put my GC to good use. Getting a few books I’ve been wanting but just not getting!

by Rena Morris April 17th, 2009 at 9:19 amHa! The most recent book(s) I purchased were Stray and Pride, books one and three from the Werecat series by Rachel Vincent. Why did I buy those two? Because I picked up Rogue, intent on starting the series and realized after a few pages that I had indeed picked up book 2 of the series. Psh!
by Cinnamon April 17th, 2009 at 9:20 amI can’t remember the name of the last book I bought, but I bought it because it was large print!Much easier for me to read.

The last book I purchased was Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells. I had been seeing it a lot on amazon and other websites, and when I saw it at Barnes and Noble, I just picked it up on impulse. I haven’t read it yet though, because I’m in the middle of Magic to the Bone which is the last book I’ve checked out from the library.
by Sara M April 17th, 2009 at 9:38 amThe last book that I bought was Blood Secrets by Vivi Anna. I bought it because it was a paranormal ebook from Harlequin. I love paranormal novels and the idea of a vampire city in our modern day world was an interesting concept.

by Jackie (Literary Escapism) April 17th, 2009 at 10:50 amThe last book I bought was At Grave’s End by Jeaniene Frost. I loved the first two in the series, so I had to have the third as well!
I’ve read The Chosen Sin and loved it, but I don’t own it yet. 😛
by Ashley Madden April 17th, 2009 at 10:51 amThe last book I purchased was Maverick by Lora Leigh, I love her books and this Elite Ops series is great!

Sadly, my last book purchase has been a month or so ago when I bought Dream Warrior by Sherrilyn Kenyon. What compelled me to buy it? I’m a Minion and need my dark/were/dream hunter fix and she’s an automatic, must have buy.
by raonaid Luckwell April 17th, 2009 at 11:02 amOooh Disney, what fun! Enjoy!!
by Colleen April 17th, 2009 at 11:30 amThe last book I purchased was BORN IN DEATH by JD Robb/ Nora Roberts… I am a little behind on her IN Death series, but who can pass up on visiting those wonderful characters time and time again! 😀
I bought 3 books yesterday: Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon in mass-market, Deadly Desire by Keri Arthur (despite being 3 books behind on the Riley Jenson series, but I love ’em), and A Rush of Wings by Adrian Phoenix, whom I’ve never read. I chose the latter b/c quite a few people on my forum whose opinions I trust raved about this book.
Now I hope I win The Chosen Sin, b/c I’ve been dying to read it, but my budget can’t always stretch to trade paperbacks!
Have fun in Disneyworld and at RT! 😀
by JP April 17th, 2009 at 11:51 amI love the book trailer!
The most recent book I’ve read is Emily Bryan’s “Distracting The Duchess”. I’ve recently become aware of Emoly’s historical writings, and I’m already a big fan!
God Bless,

I am so jealous of you going to Disney and RT lol. I hope you have a wonderful time!! We usually go to Disney World this time of year, but won’t get this year unfortunately. The Flower Festival is so lovely!
The last thing I purchased was an ebook on fictionwise.com, Dark Love by Stephanie Bedwell Grime. It is a paranormal novella with vamps… and basically that is why I purchased it lol. I love paranormal based romances and vamps are a big hit with me.
This is why I hope to win The Chosen Sin :)!! It’s on my wishlist and I have been dying to read it!

by The_Book_Queen April 17th, 2009 at 3:45 pmHubby and I decided to do our part for the economy by giving our Indie bookstore a list of UF/PR books that we want and when they are coming out. The last book we bought, would be one that came out last week (since I still have to pick up this week’s) Jim Butcher’s Turn Coat. And what makes me follow that series is Thomas Raith.

While looking for a lunch spot, my coworkers and I passed a used book store that was raising money for public schools! I bought a ton of books, but I’m most looking forward to Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card. He was my introduction to non-pop fiction (as I call it), so I’ve had a soft spot for his books ever since.
by Chris April 17th, 2009 at 6:54 pmDeadly Desire by Keri Arthur. I have the rest of the books in the Riley Jensen and this cover just drew me to pick up the latest installment 🙂

by Maija P. April 17th, 2009 at 11:10 pmThe last book I bought was Riding on Instinct by Jaci Burton, because I love that series! Alpha men and kick ass women bringing down the bad guys and falling in love 😀
I love the trailer for The Chosen Sin!
Have fun at Disney!
by Katy M April 18th, 2009 at 12:36 amOoo have fun with Mickey, Anya!
by limecello April 18th, 2009 at 9:23 amAs for the last book I bought? I just bought it yesterday – it’s a hard bound edition of all … seven, I think of Jane Austen’s novels. (Can’t remember if Lady Susan is in it…). I got it for my sister, for her birthday 🙂
