Fall into Reading with a Sweet Romance! To go along with the big prizes, I'm giving away a $5 gift certificate to Amazon to one lucky person who comments on WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT FALL?


For me... I love the fall for the dark red patchwork quilt that we have on our bed. There is something so wonderful about snuggling under the quilt with your special someone. You actually want to get close and stay warm. And with the cooler weather, I don't mind those moments where the heat of his body warms the icy coldness of my toes or my nose! 


If you are like me and love those stories that show a modern twist on love, you are going to enjoy Second Time's a Charm. 


Some women find their perfect man at work. Other's find the love of their life at church. Lissa Vincent found the man of her dreams where she least expected it.


Alex Hunter had feelings for Lissa and had begged his ex-wife for an introduction. He wasn't going to let the fact that Lissa was his ex-wife's best friend get in the way of finding his own happily ever after.


When Lissa and Alex meet face to face, lust and desire are met with denial but will they be able to let a former love and friend get in the way of their chance at happiness. After all, you can't believe everything you hear, right?

It’s hard to say what exactly would be my Go-To Autumn Romance book. When I think real hard about it, I would have to say it has a sexy, strong, determined male that when it comes to love is just lost. Then there has to be a woman who is usually in need of help or needs to know what love and family is. Together they heal each other and love turns out to be their greatest gift. I also love a happy ending at this time of year, usually where the epilogue has them starting their own family to love and cherish. Oh….and definitely HOT loving too!

I'd have to say my absolute favorite thing about Autumn is the turning of the leaves. Watching the different shades of reds and oranges is just beautiful

I love when the colors are at their peak and there's a nice cool nip in the air. It's not too hot and not too cold.

My favorite thing about Autumn/Fall is the changing color of the leaves, orange, yellow, red, even purple. They are so pretty. My least favorite thing is raking up those pretty leaves. LOL I love to curl up by the fire and read a hot romance book on a cold fall evening. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>
