Totally Relentless Contest

Erin McCarthy's Hard and Fast Contest

HARD AND FAST, the sequel to FLAT-OUT SEXY, starring a bad boy race car driver hero who's met his match from hot USA Today bestselling author Erin McCarthy officially hits the shelves on May 5th but it's available for preorder now at Amazon for a great discounted price!! And Erin wants to celebrate with a great contest!

Grad student Imogen Wilson realizes she's hit on the perfect thesis for her sociology degree. If she follows the so-called "rules" on how to get a man, can she steer her way into the world and hearts of stock race car drivers, and establish their dating - and mating - patterns?

Although sexy and reckless racer Ty McCordle is the ideal test subject, Imogen knows that for the sake of science, she can't give in to her growing attraction for him. Yet he's the one who's chasing after her, and Imogen realizes that she actually wants to be caught. A southern gentleman like Ty will satisfy all her curiosity - and make all the risks worthwhile...

To get your name in the hat for an autographed copy of two of Erin's earlier books featuring other bad boys, head over to Erin's site and read the excerpt to her upcoming release HARD AND FAST to find out how Nikki got a pass for a box seat at the race. Email your answer to AuthorIsland at yahoo.com, along with your name and address. Put Erin McCarthy in the subject line. A winner will be chosen on Release Day - May 5th - Good luck!

She's got a "naughty" bath-time package for you complete with makeup bag, bath salts, bath fizz balls, sented soap, bath sponge, and True Blue Spa manicure set.

She met him online in a desperate bid to save her faltering sex life. Connected only by computer, unable to see or hear him, Shannon is drawn step-by-step into the world of BDSM.

AuthorsIsland Contest - Mary Eason

Can't miss Mary Eason's contest!

Winner will be drawn on May 15th!

Author Mary Eason just joined us here at AuthorIsland and she wants to celebrate by offering up an autographed copy of her romantic comedy THE THINGS YOU THINK YOU WANT to one lucky AuthorIsland reader!

A little tease read: Caterer Carrie Sinclair thinks she has the perfect life and doesn’t need a man to complete it. Her pudgy kitty Max is the man in her life, and that’s enough for her. Then, quite by accident, she comes across the man of her dreams. Tyler Bennedict is perfect boyfriend material: Charming, sweet, rich, and incredibly sexy. No matter that he’s made it clear he’s not looking for a serious relationship. One night in his arms, and all her usual warning bells about men go silent. She should have listened to those bells, and to Aunt Mable. Enter Tyler’s real estate tycoon father, Richard. He makes it relentlessly clear she is not the woman for his son, and comes up with creative ways to keep them apart until Carrie sees the light. In one fell swoop she swears off all men, closes her business, and gets out of Austin. But no matter how far and how fast you run, the unexpected bumps in the road have a way of revealing the truth and turning your life – and your heart – a complete 180.

To enter for your chance to win, head over to Mary’s website Mary Eason and check out her book page to give the titles of her available books.

Email your answers to authorisland@yahoo.com, along with your name and address. Please put Mary Eason in the subject line. A winner will be drawn on May 15th – Best of luck!!
