It just so happens that I bought a paperback copy of Bridget Jones's Diary last week - along with some other good books that I shouldn't have purchased (my shelves are too stuffed). I realized that I although I have seen the movie a number of times, I had never read the book. The horror!

And seriously, who rocks harder than Bridget Jones?

Turns out, my shopping binge came at the perfect time - for me and for you!
  1. From Head to Tale will be hosting a read along of Bridget Jones's Diary starting October 5, 2015.
  2. From Head to Tale will also be hosting a watch-along of the romantic comedy-drama television series, My Lovely Sam Soon, starting October 3, 2015 (via Hulu & Drama Fever). It is often referred to as the Korean version of Bridget Jones's Diary
  3. It has just been confirmed that a new Bridget Jones movie will start filming on October 2, 2015. "Grab your best reindeer jumper: Bridget Jones is officially coming back!"
To keeping the good times rolling, I am giving away surprise box of romance books - including a copy of Bridget Jones's Diary - to one randomly selected United States winner. Enter for a chance to win it via the rafflecopter widget below.

Thanks for hopping by Kinky Vanilla Romance. We are pleased to be part of the Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop (June 20-23) hosted by Romance Blog Hops and Jane Wakely.



Romance... a great way to beat the heat!

Let’s celebrate LOVE and SUMMER!!

Summer is a great time to start a new book series. With longer warmers days on hand, I love to binge read an entire series.

One series that I will be reading this summer is Sulfur Heights by M.S. Brannon. It is a five-book new adult contemporary romance series. The fifth book, Redeemed Love, was just released on June 16th, 2014.

I am giving away a copy of Tragic Love (Sulfur Heights #2) during this hop, courtesy of the author. Blind Love (Sulfur Heights #3) is free on Amazon for limited time.

Be sure to check out my Giveaways+ page for more chances to win great prizes.




Tragic Love (Sulfur Heights #2) by M.S. Brannon

 
 
From the moment I locked eyes with hers, we’ve had this undeniable connection that was and will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn’t survive, but lately, could kill me if it did.” ~Drake Evans

For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they’ve survived Presley’s captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret.

For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent images continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she’s faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart–herself.

Drake will do anything to protect Presley from every feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she’s ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he’s ever loved or severing the only lifeline she’s ever had–himself.

“I’m certain, without any doubt, she was meant to be in my life. We belong to each other. I spent too much of my time consumed with what everyone else thinks of my feelings for Darcie, but the truth is, it was always supposed to be this way.” ~Reggie Evans

Darcie Claiborne spent several years of her young life living with a monster, always fearing what he would do next. Clasping onto her last ounce of hope, Darcie releases a scream. It’s her final attempt to live; to survive the villain of her reality. Sweeping her up in his arms, Darcie’s knight in shining armor rescues her from the hell she’s been living; from the stepfather she’s feared for all those years.

Reggie Evans has been forced to grow up before he’s ready when his mother dies of an over dose, leaving him responsible to raise his younger brothers. One fateful night, Reggie jogs by an old, run down house and discovers a young girl clinging to life as she screams for help.

Three years later, Darcie is healing and always protected by the man who saved her, but now she’s fighting with something she isn’t prepared to face. the growing love for a man who saved her life three years ago, the same man who’s nine years older. All the while, Reggie fights to protect Darcie from the demons of her past and new ones of her present.

May Book Festival Giveaway with Book Review Depot

Kinky Vanilla Romance is pleased to share the May Book Festival with Book Review Depot. The festival is presented in conjunction with Fabulosity Reads Book Tours.
 
 
NOTE: Some of the featured authors added new prices or had some amended last minute in the catalogue. Here's an amended catalogue
 

BRD-Books

 
I have been watching a few Korean drama television shows on Hulu recently. So when I saw The Third by Zhu Hsai, it immediately caught my eye.

The book's main character is a woman named Ji Sun who is heir to the powerful Lee clan of bloodsuckers. She brings disgrace to her kind by not only mixing with humans, but leaving the clan to marry one. For that, she is banished forever from her family.

When Ji Sun's parents demand that she go through the Ritual of Renunciation in her brother's favor, events start to spiral out of control. It is up to Ji Sun to resolve the drama brought on by her capricious brother and troublesome step-daughter. Will she have to sacrifice her happiness and that of her beloved husband and step-daughter to do so?

If I could cast the character of Ji Sun, I would cast Park Si-yeon (who starred in TV shows like La Dolce Vita, Coffee House and The Innocent Man). She is known for playing a variety of darker roles. I could see her as a strong sister and step-mother.


 
The Third by Zhu Hsai
(An Urban Paranormal Romance Novel)
 


 
"The Third will bring you to the world of Korean vampire coupled with insights to the Korean culture. If you're a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon, J.R Ward or Kelley Armstrong then you'll love Zhu Hsia's new dark fantasy book too. This book is not only for the young adult, it is also for the new adult that likes fantasy, action & adventure that has some paranormal fantasy elements." - Amazon Book Description

[I love May flowers and summer showers.]


Lilybloombooks


April showers make me feel kind of blue. The days are not quite long enough or warm enough. By the time I get off from work on a rainy day, all I feel like doing is curling up with a good book and a Diet Coke. It will be raining here throughout the week so I thought that I would go with a blue cover theme for this hop.

  • Night Play (Were-Hunter #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon
