Sabrina Jeffries is the New York Times bestselling author of over 50 novels and works of short fiction (some written under the pseudonyms Deborah Martin and Deborah Nicholas). Whatever time not spent writing in a coffee-fueled haze is spent traveling with her husband and adult autistic son or indulging in her passions—jigsaw puzzles, good food, and music. With over 9 million books in print in over 21 languages, the North Carolina author never regrets tossing aside a budding career in academics (she has a Ph.D. in English literature) for the sheer joy of writing fun fiction, and hopes that one day a book of hers will end up saving the world. She always dreams big. Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | GoodReads |

USA Today Bestselling author, Taryn Quinn, is the redheaded stepchild of bestselling authors Taryn Elliott & Cari Quinn.

#7 GIVEAWAY: Heidi Betts – 3 Xmas-themed, autographed Harlequin Desires and various promo and holiday items (US)
An avid romance reader since junior high, USA Today bestselling author Heidi Betts knew very early on that she wanted to write these wonderful stories of love and adventure. It wasn’t until her freshman year of college, however, when she spent the entire night reading a romance novel instead of studying for finals, that she decided to take the road less traveled and follow her dream.
Soon after joining Romance Writers of America, Heidi’s writing began to garner attention, including placing in the esteemed Golden Heart competition three years in a row. Website
#8 GIVEAWAY: Sheila Roberts – An audio version of one of Sheila’s Life in Icicle Falls books
Sheila Roberts is happily married and lives in the Pacific Northwest. She did lots of things before settling into her writing career, including owning a singing telegram company and playing in a band. Her band days are over, but she still enjoys writing songs. Sheila’s books are best sellers and have been made into movies for the Lifetime and Hallmark channels. When she’s not speaking to women’s groups or at conferences or hanging out with her girlfriends she can be found writing about those things near and dear to women’s hearts: family, friends, and chocolate.

I’ve been following Debbie Macomber for decades since the mid 80’s. I loved her Alaskan Nights series her Country Brides and Grooms, the Cedar Cove series and especially her annual Christmas hard cover selection. November Of My Heart was especially touching for me. My best friend lost her husband at the age of 38 from a rare bone cancer. Ellen was left to parent their two daughters 4 & 6. She also writes about Door County Wisconsin. I grew up an hour away ! Love to visit there and enjoy the friendly people and scenery. The cherries and Wood Orchard apples are delicious!
I also have enjoyed Sabrina Jeffries’ historical romances for almost as long. Love her School for Heiresses series, her Hellions of Halstead Hall and her Sinners series
BEWARE OF A SCOT’s REVENGE, A HELLION IN HER BED, LET SLEEPING ROGUES LIE, THE ART OF SINNING. ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES.
I just started my first Carolyn Brown book, LONG, TALL COWBOY CHRISTMAS.
I’ve read and enjoyed many of Melanie Milburne and Heidi Betts Harlequin category books.
Heidi’s books BEDDED THEN WEDDED, BOUGHT BY THE MILLIONAIRE, MR AND MISTRESS and FORTUNE’S FORBIDDEN WOMAN.
Melanie’s books: NEVER GAMBLE WITH A CAFFARELLI, NEVER SAY NO TO A CAFFARELLI, and NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A CAFFARELI were 3 of my favorites!
I’m sorry to say I have not enjoyed any of your books yet Katee or Sheila’s books. This will have to change.
Maria Smith

I’ve been reading Sabrina Jefferies since the 1980’s. I especially like her School for Heiresses series: NEVER SEDUCE A SCOUNDREL, BEWARE A SCOT’S REVENGE AND LET SLEEPING ROGUE’S LIE. I also like the The hellions of Halstead Hall series: HOW TO WOO A RELUCTANT LADY and A LADY NEVER SURRENDERS.
Debbie Macomber is another author I’ve enjoyed for decades. her Alaskan Nights series, Cedar Cove series, Country Bride series. I love her annual Christmas hardbacks too. November Of MY Heart was poignant. My HS best friend lost her husband when he was only 38. Leaving her with a 4 and 6 year old daughters. I love her books set in Door County Wisconsin. My hometown is only an hour away. I’ve visited many times. Love the scenery and the friendly people and cute towns. Love Wilson’s ice cream and The White Gull Inn’s fish boil. Ephraim’s sunsets gorgeous!.
Melanie Mliburne -I enjoy her Harlequin categories. I especially liked her Cafarrelli trilogy.

I’ve been reading Debbie Macomber and Sabrina Jeffries for decades.. Debbie’s Cedar Cove and Alaskan Nights series are two of my favorites. I love her annual Christmas hardcover books too. I like the stories set in Door County Wisconsin. My hometown is only an hour away. Beautiful scenery and friendly people a perfect setting for a romance and HEA.
Sabrina I love her School For Heiresses and The Hellions of Halstead Hall. How To Woo a Reluctant Lady and Beware A Scot’s Revenge are two favorites.
Melanie Milburne’s Cafferetti trilogy I enjoyed along with her other Harlequin categories. Heidi Betts’ Harlequin categories too.
