eGalleys anyone?

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Does everyone know what an eGalley is?

For all those that don’t, it’s a novel in digital format (in this case ePub or Digital PDF) sent out to reviewers several months prior to the release of the book. These eGalleys have an expiration date. Which means, you get the book long enough to read it, but the egalley usually expires a week or so prior to the book’s release. Still interested? Well I have some eGalley cards with 3 (three) Avon Book October releases that I’m giving away today. Check out the titles below.

All you have to do to enter to win is make a comment. ;)

They call him Lord Lightning…for his shocking behavior. An unrepentant rogue with a wicked reputation, his outrageous conduct ensures no woman will get close enough to hurt him.

But demure and lovely astrologer Eliza Farrell casts a chart that tells her Lord Hartwood is capable of great, passionate love. When Hartwood indulges in one of this famous pranks and invites Eliza to become his new mistress, the virginal country miss must meet her fate armed only with her knowledge that the cynical lord will become the tender lover she sees predicted in the stars.

Though Eliza is nothing like the brazen strumpets he prefers the seemingly incorruptible seer excites Lord Lightning much more than the hard, calculating women he is accustomed to. Eliza’s trusting spirit and quick mind touch his cold heart-and when the bewitching innocent surprisingly agrees to be seen on his arm, neither can predict the sparks that fly between them–or resist the electric passion that threatens to transform them both.

Forcing her hand is her step-father who is threatening to take away her younger sister, and so it is up to Elinor to find a powerful husband to send this troublemaker packing–in other words, she needs a duke.

But what she discovers is that dukes are in very short supply so she hires solicitor James St. Maur to track down the most likely candidate. But the man she’s hired isn’t quite what he appears to be, and all too soon Elinor finds herself mad about the most unlikeliest of heroes.
