Favorite Month of the Season? Vote!

Leave a comment WHY for a chance to win a book of your choice from Amazon US (up to $15 US). 

One winner will be randomly selected from the commentators at the end of October, November and December for a total of three winners. Each commentator be entered in all three drawings. Each winner will be notified by email and will have 48 hours to respond and confirm with the desired book from Amazon US.

And we have November's winner! Congratulations to Ilona from Wales! 
It's not too late to enter for the final drawing on December 31st. What a great way to ring in the new year.

Congratulations to Debra from Turkey! She won the October 31st drawing and a book from Amazon is in the mail to her. Two chances still to win!

Soul mate/fated love: 60
Forbidden love/secret romance/best friend's sibling: 56
Forced proximity or trapped somewhere together: 41

*What's a TROPE? In romance it's a plot device that generally has a predictable pattern to the story. For example, When Harry Met Sally is an example of a 'Friends to Lovers' trope (or maybe Enemies to Lovers?). Outlander is an example of a 'Marriage of Convenience'.
