Sugarbeat's Books

The Home of the Romance Novel

Valentine’s Day Giveaway

By

Welcome to my first ever giveaway!!  Since the majority of the books that I read and review are romance, what better to give away some of my favorite romance books from my collection!

Available on this giveaway are:

Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas – one of my personal favorite books of all time!

Read about this book HERE.<

Free Style by Linda Nieves-Powell is a book that I won from another blogger in a giveaway and I think that since I enjoyed it so much that I want to pass it on to someone else that will enjoy it also!  Read about this book HERE.

Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone is a great historical romantica.  I really enjoyed this book also.  Ms. Featherstone was a new author to me and I was impressed.  Read about this book HERE.

Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare was her debut novel.  It was rated a top pick by RT Book Reviews and was one of my favorite books of the past year!  Read about it HERE.

Lastly,  I have 2 $10.00 Barnes & Noble Gift Cards up for grabs.  I know that some people like to choose their own prize!

So….to enter simply leave me a comment on this post stating that you want to enter the contest and tell me what you do to celebrate Valentine’s day.  It’s a given that you have to be a GFC follower of mine, and I would certainly appreciate some people joining me on Facebook and Twitter, but that is your choice.  I’ll close the contest at 10PM Pacific time on Valentine’s Day and announce the winners the next day.  This contest is open to readers from Canada, United States as well as International.

For those of you that have read all the way to the bottom…..I’ll be having an Early Bird Draw when I reach 325 GFC followers!! The draw will be for either a $20.00 Amazon gift card or a B&N gift card, whichever the winner prefers!

Good luck and thanks for joining!

    Entering the contest!

    Since I’m not married, nor do I have a boyfriend, I will be celebrating Non Valentines Day… a day where I eat a small box of chocolates and watch sappy chick flicks!

  3. MADELINE

    Entering this great giveaway!!

    I’m married, and all we do to celebrate is go out to dinner. We get each cards too! And then we just spend quality time together

  4. Miranda

    I am not sure what we will do for Valentine’s day. I will probably cook hubby one of his favorite dinner’s and we will grab a couple of movies to watch after the kiddo’s go to bed.

    I follow you on twitter as well and will be finding you on facebook soon 🙂 What a great giveaway!

  5. Celine

    Great giveaway (:

    I don’t know what I’m going to do on Valentine’s day. I do have a boyfriend, so at least I’m not sitting in front of the TV on my own eating comfort food. Maybe we’ll sit with the two of us (;

    Definitely entering! Great giveaway!

    We usually don’t do much for valentine’s day. We have 4 teenage boys, so it’s not very easy to get away. LOL

  9. MarionG

    I love to spend Valentine’s Day with a bit of Chocolate and a super hot romance. Maybe in 2012 I’ll have a super guy to keep me company. Happy Valentines Day to all.

    For Valentine’s I always try to have a special dinner with the Hubs, whether we go out or stay at home. We keep things pretty low key though and he knows better to buy me a bouquet of books than flowers. 🙂 The book club I run will be doing a Valentine’s book swap, everyone will bring a book they love to share with a fellow club member, that way we all have a book to curl up with on Valentines.

    Getting those chocolate covered marshmallow hearts will be by V-day. sigh, gotta buy them myself too.

  14. Melissa (My World...in words and pages)

    Oh wow, Valentine’s day! I’m just getting through getting into 2011. 😀 Well, I hate to admit we are not big Valentine’s day people. We don’t really do anything, but we try to go out to dinner or something like that around that time, just not when all the others are celebrating as well. 😉

    Thank you! I think if its okay the gift card. I’m not big with romance reads, but I really appreciate the offers, and the reviews. 🙂

    Please…enter me!
    My hubby and I usually go out for dinner the weekend before OR after Valentine’s Day, as it’s just so hectic in restaurants on Valentine’s. (His birthday is Feb 13th, so we have double reason to celebrate!)

    Thanks for the great contest! My husband and I will probably go out for a nice dinner. We don’t usually do much.

  21. cheryl c.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway! My hubby and I usually celebrate by going out to a nice restaurant. We try to go the day before or the day after, though, to avoid the big crowds on the actual day.

    With no boyfriend (unless you count my fictional BF’s lol) won’t be celebrating other than maybe my son might get a box a candy or something for his game system and I will probably curl up with a good book .

  26. Stacy Uncorked

    Oooh! Count me in, please! 🙂

    We alternate – I’ll either make my hubby a nice romantic dinner, or he’ll take me out, or we’ll order from our favorite restaurant down the road and he’ll go pick up dinner for us to eat in. 🙂 We always exchange cards and gifts that evening as well – nothing big, just fun or sentimental. 🙂

  27. JHS

    I’m in!

    For Valentine’s Day, we usually enjoy a quiet dinner. Nothing outrageous or over the top. Just stay at home & enjoy something delicious.

    I still haven’t finalized plans yet with the guy I’ve been seeing for the last few months *sigh* My guess/hope is that we’ll stay in, share some dinner, music and wine…

    Yeah!! I’m your 330th GFC follower! I’m glad you stopped by and left me a comment at Wendi’s Book Corner. I love your blog! 🙂

    Congrats on your first giveaway… I’d love to be entered.

    On Valentines Day, I like to set the table with pretty placemats and my grandma’s table cloth. Then I make favorite foods, and generally try to make strawberry soup. Yumm! LOL – last year, dinner was all pinks and whites for the most part… my hubby thought I was crazy, but we had fun. For us, it is more about spending time together rather than expensive gifts… but I usually get flowers. 😉

    Great giveaway! Good luck everyone. Sprinkling pixie dust on my computer in the hopes that the giveaway fairy will love me.

    WOW! What a fantastic first Valentine’s Give Away! I would love to be entered in the contest. My Valentne’s ay starts out early in the morning so I can cook breakfast for my hubby and put his card standing up on the counter in front of the coffee maker so he will see it first thing. Later that day we will hold hands as we walk the 360 feet down the driveway to check the mail and then later that evening hubby will start the fire place and I will get me a nice glass of Sangrea Wine and we will both set down and watch a good movie as we snuggle together on the couch. Then later when its time to go to bed, we kiss and tell each other like we do every night how much we love each other. I say “Your My Man” and he says “Your My Baby”. Sometimes we make love and sometimes it is just nice holding eachother. LOL We’ve never missed a night after being married 13 years of telling each other how much we love one another. He is my best friend!

    Hej

    I’m entering with this comment ( I hope :P).
    Anyway, I won’t do anything special on Valentine’s Day. It isn’t a holiday that is particularly celebrated in my home-country Switzerland. Even though it is quite a different here in Sweden (where I live), here everything *american* i celebrated and made into holidays. But other than splurge on ?-stuff to decorate or just *feel-good* purposes, I won’t celebrate the day :/ ( Maybe I’ll have to get me a romantic guy – If such a thing exists)

    I would love to win! Unfortunately my husband has forgotten how to be romantic. Most of our Valentine’s Day is spent lounging on the couch, watching movies.
