It’s February 2, and it feels as if I have been waiting for this day forever! The awesomely brilliant Sara Lindsey has been my partner in crime for many, many years. Together, we have undertaken the following Extremely Important Tasks:
- Inserting citrus fruit into opportune portions of our manuscript
- Made cut-out goats and browbeaten complete strangers into delivering them to friends of ours
- Performed various and sundry forms of voodoo, with surprising effect
- Employed pots of chocolate, and feathers, with aplomb
In all these things, I have to admit that Sara Lindsey–as a general rule–has completely and utterly surpassed all unreasonable expectations. It should not surprise you that Sara Lindsey and I have our debut novels out within scarcely a month of each other. It also should not surprise you that her debut novel, like everything else she has ever done in her life, is a fabulously awesome tour de force. It’s fun. It’s wonderful. It’s exciting. There are explosions, even!
But even better than the fun parts of this book–and Promise Me Tonight will have you giggling like a little girl at various parts–are the parts where you’ll feel all the emotional connection with characters that you want from a romance.
That’s why today is “Buy a Book Written by Sara Lindsey Day” over at courtneymilan.com. It’s also why I’m giving away three copies of Promise Me Tonight on this post to random commenters. And, for yet another chance to win, I’m giving away Sara’s debut novel along with my own for this month’s website contest.
Or, you can buy Promise Me Tonight from: Indiebound | Borders | Amazon | Powell’s | B & N.
Woot!! Congrats to Sara!! Thanks for sharing her debut with us today, Courtney!
And really? Do share some of the voodoo results!
Unfortuately, the voodoo must remain our little secret. I mention it only to taunt you.
Love the goat — very cool actually. Makes me think of Tessa Dare’s tweets about goats prior to release of SoaS…
& congrats to Ms. Lindsey on her new release!
Taunting voodoo?
Congrats to Sara!
Ack! You make this sound good enough to add to my towering TBR pile. If this is the last straw that makes it topple over, I’m blaming you.
Congratulations to Sara! I can’t wait to read about all the Westons
If I win this I may have kill you as my TBR pile has grown so big hubby is threatening to throw them O_O
“Inserting citrus fruit” could be taken in so many wrong directions
I’ve been looking forward to the start of the Westons – happy publication day!
Citrus are ALWAYS inserted with great care.

Would love a copy of the new book by Sara Lindsey. Plan to move it to the top of TBR pile so it will be read next!!!
It’s awesome when another author praises a book so effusively, ’cause then you know you have to read it. Thanks for the chance to win!

CONGRATULATIONS SARA!!!!!!!
Explosions and voodoo, eh? I’ll definitely have to check it out! And congrats to Sara!
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Judging by all the excitement around here, this book is not to be missed! I’ll be picking it up soon (if I don’t win it first).
Looking forward to reading it–I love getting in on the groundfloor of a new series, but it’s hard waiting around for the next installments
Congratulations to Sara. I saw this very title in the store today & was tempted, but hadn’t heard anything about the author or title. Darn it, now wish I’d gone ahead & made the purchase! Oh well, it’s never too late to discover good books and PROMISE ME TONIGHT is now on my “To Buy” list.
Man, I love all these giveaways. Good luck, Sara!
A lot of people are recommending this book, including Eloisa James. I’ll have to add it to my wishlist
So that would be an exploding rather than ringing endorsement? *g*
You’ve sold me. I’ll look this debut author up.
Love these contests—but love just hearing about new books coming up too! Thanks!
Citrus fruits are always inserted with the greatest care… and eviscerated with the greatest abandon!
Congrats to Sara!
Congrats Sara! I am shamelessly begging You to send me one copy, because Your books are not in sale in my country, Finland. I have checked our biggest bookstore many times…
Thank You Courtney for the chance to win Sara´s new romance.
@Serenissima
Try the Book Depository ( http://www.bookdepository.co.uk or http://www.bookdepository.com). They have a great selection, great prices, free delivery and you can buy just one book at a time if you wish… And no, I don’t work for them, I’m just a happy customer.
