~Random Ramblings from a Book Lover~ My Rebels & Readers Book Haul

 

Rebels & Readers was a total blast this past weekend!  And, even though I had pre-ordered books, I came home with may more than I anticipated, and that’s not even including all of the signed bookmarks and other amazing swag authors had for us lucky readers!

 

Pre-Orders – because I loved the books . . .

Kat Mizera – Temptation’s Inferno – Because Jamie and Viggo’s story was simply divine.  It’s full of love and passion and growth and understanding.  Love is Love!

 

Susan Stoker – Rescuing Rayne & Protecting Dakota – My Susan Stoker collection continues to grow with every signing!  I can’t get enough . . . and, I had to grab protecting Dakota since Wander was also there to sign it!

 

TS Joyce – The entire Sons of Beasts series (Son of the Cursed Bear, Son of Kong & Son of the Dragon) – Loved seeing all these series finally come full circle with these three books – and, when all the models are there to also sign, it’s hard to pass up!

 

P. Jameson – A Mate’s Wish – I have enjoyed this series and P’s take on shifters and PNR.

 

Sam JD Hunt – Santino the Eternal – I am a huge fan of Sam’s writing and was absolutely thrilled to finally get to meet her in person!  This was Sam’s first PNR book, and I was one of her early readers . . . she completely knocked it our of the park!  I also appreciated my signed magnets from Johnny!

 

Casey L. Bond – Riches to Rags – My first of Casey’s books, and I couldn’t resist a Cinderella story and modern day twist to the fairy tale.  Seriously, though, for as many times as we chatted this weekend, how did we not get a picture together?!

Impulse buys – because I couldn’t resist . . .

Avery Flynn – The Charmer – I met Avery at Friday night’s mixer and we “bonded” as we waited in line for drinks.  Because she is a new to me author, Avery suggested I pick up her latest release!

 

Julie Bailes – Sexed Into Submission – This looked like too much of a fun & naughty read to pass up!  Julie is also a new to me author.

 

Golden Czermak – The Secret Life of Cooper Bennett – I am intrigued by the synopsis, and, let’s face it, Golden is a sweetie and Joey is adorable, so how could I resist?

 

Jules Bennett – Snowbound with a Billionaire – It’s a billionaire and a baby . . . and I am a sucker for this trope!  Jules is a new to me author.

 

Mysti Parker – Mann Cakes – So, there was no walking past this table with the eye catching titles and covers, so I grabbed book one to get my feet wet with this new to me author.

 

Sarah O’Rourke – Cain’s Salvation – Sarah is a new to me author, so I am excited to read this.  I love military romance, so this was an easy choice to make.

 

J. Lum – Summer Love – J. Lum had an amazingly eye-catching banner, so I stopped to chat!  When she found out I was a blogger, she graciously offered me two copies of her first release, one to keep and one to share!

Blog Giveaways – because I love you guys . . .

 

J. Lum – Summer Love

Susan Stoker – Protecting Dakota

Elle James – Montana Dog Soldier

Sidonia Rose – Repairing Christmas

P. Jameson – Racing the Alpha

TS Joyce – Cursed Bear

Kat Mizera – Cody & Suze  – This was gifted by Kat and is an exclusive print mini-book that cannot be purchased.

I had a fabulous time getting to chat with so many authors as well as getting to know other readers.  It’s a truly amazing event, and I already have my ticket purchased for next year!
