ETA: This contest is now closed. Bonnie won the books!
Hi everyone! The contest this time is really special. The fourth and final book in Theresa Romain’s Holiday Pleasures series is coming out in a couple of weeks (Season for Desire, I’ve read it, it’s awesome, you can read my goodreads rec here, and to celebrate, I’m giving away the first THREE books in the series. Not only that, but since Theresa was my roommate at RWA14, I was able to give her the books to sign and ship, which means she will personalize them for you!
Season for Temptation. This book absolutely floored me when it came out, and I think it’s still one of the funniest, freshest historicals I’ve ever read.

TWO SISTERS…
Julia Herington is overjoyed when her stepsister, Louisa, becomes engaged—to a viscount, no less. Louisa’s only hesitation is living a life under the ton’s critical gaze. But with his wry wit and unconventional ideas, Julia feels James is perfect for Louisa. She can only hope to find a man like him for herself. Exactly like him, in fact…
ONE CHOICE…
As the new Viscount Matheson, James wished to marry quickly and secure his title. Kind, intelligent Louisa seemed a suitable bride…Until he met her stepsister. Julia is impetuous—and irresistible. Pledged to one sister, yet captivated by another, what is he to do? As Christmas and the whirl of the London season approach, James may be caught in a most scandalous conundrum, one that only true love, a bit of spiritous punch—and a twist of fate—will solve…

Season for Surrender might be my favorite book in the series. Xavier just puts so much excruciating effort into his effortless persona, it’s heartbreaking.

HONOR AMONG ROGUES
Alexander Edgware, Lord Xavier, has quite a reputation—for daring, wagering, and wickedness in all its delightful forms. But the wager before him is hardly his preferred sport: Xavier must persuade a proper young lady to attend his famously naughty Christmas house party—and stay the full, ruinous two weeks. Worse, the lady is Louisa Oliver, a doe-eyed bookworm Xavier finds quite charming. Yet to refuse the challenge is impossible—he will simply have to appoint himself Miss Oliver’s protector…
MISCHIEF AMONG MISSES
Louisa knows her chance for a husband has passed. But she has no desire to retire into spinsterhood without enjoying a few grand adventures first. When Lord Xavier’s invitation arrives, Louisa is more intrigued than insulted. And once inside the rogues’ gallery, she just may have a thing or two to teach her gentlemen friends about daring…
*
Season for Scandal. Edmund has a secret, a dark secret in his past. He’s done something terrible, for which he can never forgive himself. His response? To make up for it by being really sweet and polite to everyone he meets. Yes, this man’s dark past has made him a compulsive sweetheart. Great trope subversion, or THE GREATEST?
*
UNLADYLIKE RISK
Jane Tindall has never had money of her own or exceptional beauty. Her gifts are more subtle: a mind like an abacus, a talent for play-acting—and a daring taste for gambling. But all the daring in the world can’t help with the cards fixed against her. And when Edmund Ware, Baron Kirkpatrick, unwittingly spoils her chance to win a fortune, her reputation is ruined too. Or so she thinks, until he suggests a surprising mode of escape: a hasty marriage. To him. On the surface, their wedding would seem to satisfy all the demands of proper society, but as the Yuletide approaches, secrets and scandals turn this proper marriage into a very improper affair.

Can’t wait!
Love all of T. Romain’s books. Glad but not surprised that your review of the latest is so positive. Thanks for sharing.
It’s soooooo good! The whole series is amazing. Which one is your favorite?
I’ve yet to read any of Theresa Romain’s Holiday Pleasures series and I’m excited to give them a try!
Not only do I enjoy Theresa’s books, she’s a wonderful person, too! Can’t believe that she ALWAYS replies to any comments made on her facebook page! That’s awesome! She writes a pretty good story, too! Would love to get these since I’ve not yet read them. Thanks for the contest!!!
I am not surprised! She is a hella gracious lady. 🙂
Thank you for the contest love her books.
Love her books!! I can’t wait!
I love the way Theresa interacts with all of her fans and her posts are just the thing to brighten up the day and get you talking. You won’t be able to put her books down once opened with the witty banter, plots, and romance to keep you in the world that is hers. Keep up the good work Theresa in both your work and with your fans!
Yes!! She is soooo good at combining humor and deep emotion…it never feels jarring and each intensifies the other.
I love this author. Her books are amazing!
At one time I had all of her books. Due to unforseen things, I no longer have them. I am just getting to be able to get all of my books back. It is a slow process but IF I did win that would help me out. I had over 3000 books and her’s were one that I have read a few times along with a few other authors. Thank you for the change to win them. I know this book will be on my list to get and I will get it.
Oh no! That sounds traumatic. I lost all my music at one point in college and I KNOW there are songs I’ll never have again because I don’t even remember what they were and they were probably awesome! Good luck in the drawing. 🙂
Love this series and looking forward to reading this next and last 🙁 book! Thanks so much for the chance.
Love Theresa Romain’s writing! Can’t wait for this next installment!
Would love to read this series!
i can’t wait to read it!!

Congratulations, Bonnie! You’re the winner.

I read the books from the library; I’d love to win them so I can have them on my keeper shelf!
Would love to win… 🙂
I love books that have been authorgraphed by the author, it’s like a treat that was given with love =D Thank you Rose for the chance!!!
Would love to win… 🙂
I really love historical romances! And I also like free books.
lol! Two great tastes that taste great together.
I am sure you had fun at RTW being roommates with Theresa. I would love to win. Thank you for having this giveaway.
Rooming with Theresa was definitely one of the highlights of the conference! There was a lot of giggling as you can imagine. 🙂
Looking forward to reading this series.
would love to read this series! thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you for the giveaway! I would love to read this series, sounds good!
Looks interesting
Great giveaway! My to-be-read list is growing by leaps and bounds.
The whole series looks gorgeous and sounds wonderful!
I’ve not read this series but would like too. I will be adding them to my “to be read” list. Thank you for this great opportunity and introducing me to some new books and a new author!
Would love to win copies of Theresa’s books. Thanks so much for this fabulous giveaway! 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity to win these books!
Looking forward to reading this series! And did you and Theresa have any stories to tell about being roomies at RWA14? 😉
I think Theresa covered the highlights…although those blue margaritas to represent Romulan ale were delicious too! If you check out our facebook photos there are some pictures too. Good luck in the drawing!
Hi, everyone–I’m so glad you’ve all stopped by! Rose, thank you so very, very much for hosting this giveaway. You’re just the kindest.
I’ve been shy about commenting, because I didn’t want to crash a truly lovely reader party–plus I’ve already read these books, like, a million times each, so I don’t need to enter the giveaway. 🙂 But I’m just so grateful to everyone who has stopped by that I wanted to say thanks. (Thanks!)
And Ada, I don’t know that Rose and I have any super-shocking stories–except maybe for the time our smoke alarm malfunctioned and we trucked out into the hallway in our PJs at an ungodly hour of the night! But we sure did laugh a lot. One evening we wound up playing “replace any word in a book title with bacon,” which is always fun but even more fun if you’re really tired and punchy. Rose’s A LILY AMONG THORNS became A LILY AMONG BACON, which–look closely!–inspired this amazing bacon-themed gown: http://on.fb.me/1qM8Db8
Those books sound amazing. It would be great to win.
I would love, love, love to have a chance to read this series! Thanks for the fun post and giveaway! Congrats to both ladies on your books 🙂
Would love to have these please pick me!

Hi Rose!
After your review on Goodreads I hope that Theresa’s publisher has a lot of copies of Season for Desire in stock! Luckily for those of us with a Kindle or other e-reader won’t have that to worry about!
Since I love all of Theresa’s books that I’m prejudiced but I think that her Holiday Pleasures series is my favorite of all her books!
I’ve already read her first two books in the series but both of my daughter-in-laws are fighting over who should get them to read next! Since I have a Kindle I’d love to win this contest before they decide to sneak my Kindle to read her first three books in the series!
Hopefully they will have to go into a second printing! 🙂 Which is your favorite in the series? I think mine is SURRENDER…
Hi Rose!
My favorite was Season for Temptation because it was so much fun to read (and of course because I loved it so much I just had to read the following books as well!).
I’ve found that when I read the first book in one of Theresa’s series I can’t resist buying them all!
PS: I loved your books In For A Penny and A Lily Among Thorns but wish we didn’t have to wait until January for Pretenses to be released!
Thanks! I agree, TEMPTATION might be the funniest. So many amazing jokes!
They sound fantastic–thanks for the recommendation and the contest 🙂
I have the 1st release on kindle and would love to have the tro for my bookcase. LOVE this genre and appreciate the opportunity to win some from one of my favs.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I enjoyed reading one of your books. I like the way you put words together.
I’d love to add this trio to my bookcase! I borrowed the first one, and loved it.
Interesting books
Enter me to win! If these are as good as you say I might have to purchase anyway!
I have read four of Theresa Romain’s books and enjoyed them all. I especially love holiday stories. I reread favorites every year and listen to those special Christmas audio books every year. 🙂
Aw, that’s great! Do you read Lauren Willig? I think hers are some of my favorite Christmas Regencies.
I love the covers on these books…I would read them just from looking at the covers…but the blurb helped me to decide to for sure read them.
Aren’t they lovely? They have such a light, fresh vibe which I think is perfect for the stories.
I have not read any of these yet but the covers draw me in and then the blurb makes me want more.
I haven’t read her books, but this would be a good way to get me started I think. 🙂 Regencies are my fav genre and I like humor in my stories so these sound great.
Thanks
Yeah, if you like Regencies and humor these books are a good fit for you! 🙂
So good to hear from you via email, Rose, and am heading over to purchase “A Lilly Among Thorns.” Always looking for a good read. Your newsletter is appreciated! As are you! Hope you have a satisfying productive month with lots of snippets of joy! I wont be able to attend ECWC this year! Sniffle. I spent all my “writing” money on a research trip to Scotland in September. But will be with you all in spirit! Marion Spic her

:::waving::: Hi Rose!
I think I should win because I love Historical Romance, I’m a breast cancer survivor, and my wedding Anniversary was yesterday. Wear something pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness, folks!! One of my favorite things to wear is a bracelet that says CANCER SUCKS.
Theresa’s books appeal to me immensely and it would be awesome to win them. Happy Halloween! All kinds of goodies in October….
Mel, congrats!!! That is a lot of wonderful things. Happy anniversary, and good luck in the drawing!
Thank you, Rose! I so badly want these holiday reads!! 🙂
