******THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED******

By random drawing, the winner of yesterday’s book-of-the-day contest for CASCADIA WOLVES: STANDOFF is Cybercliper, who said, “I don’t really do resolutions. In the past, I’ve usually abandoned then all by the first week.”
Congratulations! You have a week from today to contact me and collect your prize. anyabast (at) gmail.com
Chase Brothers: MAKING CHASE: Tate Murphy is a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. She grew up a million miles away from the easy life Matt Chase has had. She’s spent her life pulling herself and her siblings up and out of that trailer by the railroad tracks and she hasn’t looked back. Matt Chase is a dream of a guy and she’s certainly not going to turn down a short fling with one of the most handsome men she’s ever seen!
Matt Chase has watched each one of his brothers find love and he knows he’s ready for that too. It’s all a matter of finding the woman who captures his heart. He’s certainly sampled his fair share of them but none has moved him the way Tate Murphy does when he goes to her shop to thank her for some cookies and a thank you note.
But as Matt gets to know Tate and appreciate her strength and unique beauty, he also realizes she’s got some big self esteem issues about her past. To build a future, he’s got to find a way past some big road blocks.

by Booklover1335 January 2nd, 2010 at 8:40 amUSA because I wasn’t there before and I can’t wait to visit all the pretty different landscapes and meet the people their.
by Sabine January 2nd, 2010 at 8:42 amI’ve thought of going to Ireland and living in a cottage near the cliffs, and working in a local establishment for a year or so. That would be a vacation to me of a lifetime. To get to know the locals and enjoy the real Ireland.
by Jennifer Louden January 2nd, 2010 at 8:45 amScotland!!!
by Kara January 2nd, 2010 at 8:55 amJust one? Ugh! If I had to narrow it down I would pick France. I would love to see Paris – have strong coffee and croissants at an outdoor cafe; have cheese, a loaf of bread, and a good bottle of wine on a picnic; see all of the monuments; and just drink in all of the culture. :::insert heavy sigh here:::
by Lulu January 2nd, 2010 at 9:12 amI want to go to Greece. I want to see the ruins, I’m a little obsessed with Greek Mythology.

by Tracey D January 2nd, 2010 at 9:55 amMy ideal vacation would involve a lot of sun, sand, surf AND uninterrupted reading time with an unlimited library of my favorite reads. So and ebook reader as full as I can get would acompany me to one of those small south Pacific Islands where I could laze the days away at the beach reading or swimming as I wished.

I did get to look across the sea when My sister and cuz took me with them to England and Scotland in 2002 for 14 days. Had a blast but we were moving so fast I can’t remember everything. Riding the train and luging your own luggage was not the best decision we made. LOL We learned the hard way. Pack lite and rewear your clothes. You want see these folks again…LOL Loved it.
by Brenda B. Hill January 2nd, 2010 at 3:02 pmGeez, everywhere. Lately, I’ve been dreaming of a safari vacation, just basics, and nature.
