Reader’s Edyn

I always felt like I could do something more than just read. Finally, I have found both a creative outlet and a chance to do something meaningful with my reading. This blog was created in appreciation of and tribute to all of the authors who have brought me joy through their books. These reviews are my way of giving back to authors and providing recognition for the hard work that each one completes every day!

Lovestruck Giveaway Hop

Lovestruck Giveaway Hop


Thanks so much to Under The Covers and Bonafide Reflections for hosting this hop!

So it seems as if every time I try to participate in a hop, life sets up a road block and I end up having to take a detour. Such is the case yet again. So here I am, once again apologizing for posting late. 



For this hop, I am going to offer a giveaway related to my feature month. For those of you who follow my blog, you know that the entire month of June has been dedicated to authors published with Ellora’s Cave. In honor of this phenomenal month I am going to gift to one random commenter digital Ellora’s Cave titles not to exceed $15.00  USD. 

**RULES**
The titles MUST be published by Ellora’s Cave! You may choose as many digital titles as you wish so long as you do not exceed $15.00 USD. I will NOT offer a gift card in place of a book purchase because this giveaway is in honor of the Ellora’s Cave authors on my blog this month. I want to be sure that they get the sales for this giveaway. The eBooks range in price. If you shop smart, you could end up with quite a few digital books to read from this giveaway. Contest is open to international so long as you have a valid e-mail address. Winner MUST be 18 years of age or older to enter. Reader’s Edyn is NOT responsible for lost or damaged items. Ellora’s Cave and authors are NOT involved in this giveaway. I alone have chosen to offer their books for the prize(s). Anyone may be disqualified at any time so be sure to follow directions to avoid disqualification. No substitutions allowed. Contest ends June 23rd at midnight MST. That means you will have through June 22nd to enter. When the clock strikes midnight on the 23rd, the contest will be over. Winner will be contacted by e-mail. Winner will have 48 hours to respond, or a new winner will be chosen. Odds of wining depend on the number of entries received. Be forewarned! *serious face* Those who enter and do not follow the tasks properly will have their entries removed. *peers closer* Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I. Will. Check. Them. Not trying to be a pain, Sorry.
NOTE:  As far as I can tell, I am unable to gift these titles via Ellora’s Cave, therefore I will gift the titles chosen by the winner via Amazon.com. I will consider another method of delivery via online store ONLY if gifting is an option and will not result in an extra expenditure to myself.

I hope all of that makes sense to everyone. Ask if you have any questions. But above all, enjoy yourself … and most of all, enjoy these fabulous authors published by Ellora’s Cave.

I have several giveaways still running on the blog for Ellora’s Cave authors, so feel free to enter those as well.

If you are unfamiliar with Ellora’s Cave authors, please visit their FREE READS link. You can download a number of books from several authors and see who is to your liking.

Best of luck to you all! Until next time …
HAPPY  READING!!!

AND DON"T FORGET TO ENTER THE OTHER GIVAWAYS IN THIS HOP!

    1. Hi Cathy ~ I have known about EC for quite a few years now. And I enjoyed the first book I read with this publisher as well. I have definitely heard of Lora Leight and have several of her books on my TBR list, but have yet to read any of them. Suggestions on where to start with her work? Thanks so much for entering and good luck to you in the contest.

    1. Hi Burbanette ~ I have heard of Joey Hill and the series seems somewhat familiar, but I am sure I have not read her work yet. Would you recommend I start with this series from her? My TBR list is huge, so narrowing down options is always a help. Thanks so much for participating and best of luck to you in the contest.

    1. Hi Dusty ~ I can say that they have come a long way. The site is user-friendly, the covers are much better than they used to be, and the bios, blurbs, and excerpts for the authors is a terrific enhancement. I ams o glad that you will be able to seek new authors. Thanks so much for participating and good luck to you in the contest!

    1. Hi Anne ~ I have noticed that many authors, even if not surrently with EC, were with EC at one time. Kind of interesting. This is not the first time Ms. Hill has been mentioned. I am familar with her name, but not her work. Good to know. Thanks so much for your comment. Wishing you luck in the contest.

  10. Shelley Munro is my favorite EC author. As to which books, as you mention, if we shop wisely, we could get quite a few. I would check out the on sale books first.

    1. Hi Anne ~ I do believe I have heard of Ms. Munro before, but again, haven't read any of her work yet. Suggestions? And you are absolutely correct. Someone could end up with a whole lot of eBooks for this giveaway! :) Best of luck to you in the contest!

  11. I actually have not yet had an opportunity to read any books from Ellora's Cave, so I am not familiar with any of the authors. I think I would rely on your recommendations!

    1. Oh goodie, Darlene ~ Put me on the spot, why don't you? LOL Well, I would say take a look at the interviews and guest posts and especially the excerpts in the posts all through the month of June. That should help. Also, I have reviewed both Cari Quinn and Iris Astres and found them enjoyable so at this time I can personally vouch for them as good authors to read. But it all depends on the type of books you enjoy. Good luck to you in the contest!

  12. I love Annabel Joseph, but I've already read her EC books. I'd probably go for Joey Hill and Sindra Van Yssl. Great giveaway!

    1. Hey Susan ~ I read a Mina Carter a few months ago for JERR _ I think it was called I Put A Spell On You if I remember correctly. I have one of R.G. Alexander's books but haven't been able to read it yet and I do not think it is an EC title. Carlysle and Paulin are new to me. Thanks for the suggestions! And best of luck to you in the contest.

    1. Hi Tina ~ You are more than welcome. Cheyenne McCray is a familiar name, but again, not an author I have read yet. Knight is definitely new to me. Crazy how I can have so many authors on the blog and still have barely touched the surface. I hope you discover some authors you love from the blog posts! Thanks very much for participating and good luck to you!

    1. Hi Kim!

      I can't say that I have ever heard of Kat Grant. I am baffled as to how many new names I am seeing from EC. It is amazing just how many great authors they have published. Thanks for the recommendation and good luck to you in the contest! You just made it. I think there is only a couple of hours to go! :)

Thanks to the many suggestions of the commenters, I now know who Dohner is. LOL Leigh I have had on my TBR list for quite some time. Devlin I am hoping to read soon. I won a signed copy of one of her books and hope to be able to get that read very soon. Holt, I reviewed for JERR.

  21. I haven't really explored EC before...just got my Kindle a month ago, so I'm finding a few things on there to fill it. If I won I might get books by Delphine Dryden, Emma Peterson, and Kathleen Lash. They looked very interesting :-)
