Rock Wedding- One day to go!

"...one of the biggest factors in my personal grading system is whether the book has just a touch of magic. I want a romance novel to weave a spell of comfort, escape, and hope over my soul...This is one of those books." - Kristen Donnelly for AAR

ROCK WEDDING is getting some fantastic reviews, including this rare Desert Isle Keeper one from AAR: http://www.allaboutromance.com/book-review/rock-wedding-by-nalini-singh-19-jul-a/

The Book Queen has chosen it as a TBQ pick and had this to say: "Rock Wedding was one of those books that just gave me all the feels before eventually leaving me with warm fuzzies and a sappy smile."

I hope you all enjoy it just as much!

Blog Tour Signup & Google Hangout

Bloggers: if you'd like to participate in the Rock Wedding blog tour, please sign up here!

In other news, I did a Google Hangout this morning (well, morning New Zealand time!). I didn't have a chance to put the link up everywhere as we hit some technical glitches, but here is the video of the hangout.

I tried to choose some questions to answer that I hadn't previously answered, or where I could give an updated answer.

Also, my wifi dropped at one point so the video will cut out. I return at the 6.54 mark. Hope you enjoy watching/listening! If you're reading this on Goodreads and can't see the video, click this link to watch it on Youtube.

p.s. Why do I look so very worried in that captured image? I don't know!

If you'd like to go in the random draw to win one of 5 Advanced Reading/Review Copies of Wild Embrace, send an e-mail to naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom (replace DOT/AT with symbols ./@), with:

"WILD EMBRACE ARC Contest" in the subject line AND your name and mailing address in the body of the email (entries without names and mailing addresses will be disqualified).

By 10pm, 6th July 2016, New Zealand time. 

Please follow the correct format for entry re the subject line, so your e-mail goes into the right in-box. (Your e-mail address will only be used to contact you should you win, and your mailing address will only be used to post out the ARC to you should you win.)

Since this is an Advanced Review Copy, if you win, we'd ask that you please post a review somewhere before the release date (August 23rd) - on a blog, on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads...it's up to you, but it would be much appreciated if you'd post your thoughts somewhere. The contents of the review are, of course, totally up to you.

A note about the ARC - it's substantially the same as the final book, but since ARCs are printed prior to the final round of edits, there are some errors in the text that aren't in the final book.

CONTEST CLOSED

- Nalini & Ashwini : )

The fine print: Contest is open internationally. One entry per household. No purchase necessary to enter. Winners will be chosen randomly using random.org and emailed on 7th July 2016. Their names will also be posted on this blog at that time. Each winner will have 48 hours from the time of notification to contact us, otherwise he or she will forfeit the prize and another winner will be drawn. Void where prohibited.

ROCK WEDDING by Nalini Singh

Releasing: July 19th
Preorder: iBooks (more preorder links to come)
Goodreads, Series page on Website

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Rock Kiss series with a hot, sweet, emotional contemporary romance about love and forgiveness…

After a lifetime of longing for a real family, Sarah Smith thought she’d finally found her home with rock star Abe Bellamy, even if she knew Abe didn’t love her the way she loved him. But their brief relationship, filled with tragedy and heartache, nearly destroyed her. Alone, emotions in turmoil, and already shaky self-esteem shattered, Sarah struggles to pick up the pieces in the wake of their divorce.

Abe knows he’s to blame for the end of his marriage. Caught in a web of painful memories, he pushed away the best thing in his life – the sexy, smart woman he adores – breaking them both in the process. Then fate throws him a second chance to get things right, to prove to Sarah that she means everything to him. Abe desperately wants that second chance at love...even if he knows he doesn’t deserve it.

But can he convince Sarah – now strong and independent without him – to risk her wounded heart one more time?
