Freebie Friday: Take a Hint Dani Brown

07.17.2020 by Jen Ryland // 2 Comments

Hooray – Freebie Friday is BACK. I’m so excited about this Freebie Friday for Take a Hint, Dani Brown! Enter now through July 23!

Freebie Friday: Take a Hint, Dani Brown

If, like me, you are in need of a little humor and romance in your life, you need to enter for a chance to win this copy of Take a Hint, Dani Brown. This adorable rom com is as bright and sunny as its cover! This giveaway is open to US only, sorry!

Why will you love Dani Brown? Let me count the ways. Dani is a sister in a close-knit family. She’s an academic. She’s a little bit cynical about love. Zaf is big and burly on the outside but anxious and hiding a little from life on the inside. When Dani and Zaf (who’s the security guard in the building where Dani works) have an accidental meet cute, they go viral as a couple and decide to enter into a fauxmance. Dani won’t fall in love … or will she?

You can read my review of Take a Hint, Dani Brown here and you can find out more about the book here.

This giveaway is over and the winner is Daisy. Please follow me by email (put your email address in the box above this post) to be in the know about all future giveaways!

Freebie Friday: Beyond the Black Door

Freebie Friday: Beyond the Black Door

Freebie Friday: Beyond the Black Door

Happy November! I’m a little bit sick so this is up late, but better late than never! Enter on Instagram – that’s where my giveaways get the most traction – the link to my account is in the top right corner!

Here’s the synopsis for Beyond the Black Door:

Everyone has a soul. Some are beautiful gardens, others are frightening dungeons. Soulwalkers―like Kamai and her mother―can journey into other people’s souls while they sleep.But no matter where Kamai visits, she sees the black door. It follows her into every soul, and her mother has told her to never, ever open it.When Kamai touches the door, it is warm and beating, like it has a pulse. When she puts her ear to it, she hears her own name whispered from the other side. And when tragedy strikes, Kamai does the unthinkable: she opens the door. A.M. Strickland’s imaginative dark fantasy features court intrigue and romance, a main character coming to terms with her asexuality, and twists and turns as a seductive mystery unfolds that endangers not just Kamai’s own soul, but the entire kingdom .

Happy Weekend – what are you reading this first weekend of November?

And the summer of 1986 promises to be extra special when she meets J.C., the new boy in town, whose kisses make Elena feel like she’s been transported to a new world.Joaquin Finney can’t imagine why anyone would want to come to Mariposa Island. He just graduated from high school and dreams about going to California to find his father and escape his mother’s manipulation.The Liars of Mariposa Island follows siblings Elena and Joaquin, with flashbacks to their mother’s experience as a teenage refugee fleeing the Cuban revolution.

First Fall Freebie Friday!

09.20.2019 by Jen Ryland // 3 Comments

Freebie Friday will be back this fall as I seem to have a bunch of books! This week the giveaway will be on Instagram. Read more below!

I did a poll on Twitter about where people preferred to enter book giveaways, and Instagram won but (duh) I didn’t include Twitter as a choice and there were write-in votes for Twitter. So… this First Fall Freebie Friday will be on Instagram and next week on Twitter? Then maybe I’ll go back to the old Rafflecopter for nostalgia?

In any case, this week you just need to like this photo on Instagram to enter, and have a US mailing address. Winner drawn by Random.org on Sept 25 and my standard giveaway rules are here.

Winner will receive Don’t You Forget About Me AND The Stylist Takes Manhattan!

What are you reading this week? I’ve got some great posts coming up: more paranormal book lists and some surprises for Halloween!
