If you read the chat transcript from our Sizzling Book Club chat the other night, you saw at the end that I announced the next book club pick: Karina Bliss’ Here Comes the Groom.
YOU. GUYS. Seriously. I couldn’t have enjoyed this book more: a terribly real heroine with Real Problems who has a deep and abiding friendship with the hero—it’s friends to lovers with secrets and an over-the-top awesome ending, plus outstanding dialogue and hilarity. GO READ IT. Here, have blurb:
If Jocelyn Swann weren’t so furious, she’d probably laugh. Her best friend, Dan Jansen, has launched a campaign worthy of his Special Forces training to arrange their wedding, from music and minister to flowers and food. What part of no does he not understand?
Their marriage “agreement” was a tipsy scrawl on the back of a coaster…three years ago! It’s not a question of love. Of course she loves Dan. She’s loved him all her life. If only she could get him to slow down a minute and listen—to be the friend she needs right now—she could convince him that marriage would ruin everything.
As usual, if you use SBTBARE at checkout, you will get a 50% eBook Bucks Rebate at AllRomance.com, the official sponsor of the Sizzling Book Club. You can also buy a copy at Amazon.com, or Book Depository, or wherever the books in your preferred format are sold.
I’m already working on scheduling the chat, and author Karina Bliss is all over it, so if you read the book and enjoy it, you’ll be able to chat with the author at the next chat session. Please note: several participants told me there are now popup ads in the CoverItLive window during the live chat. I had NO idea, and I apologize profusely for that! I’m going to look for another onscreen chat option, but if you have one to suggest, please email me at sarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTcom. If I can find a way to keep CoverItLive but get rid of the ads, I will do so. My apologies – I had no idea.
But since it is The Holiday Season, we’re doing something a little different this time: Karina Bliss has offered up three signed paperback copies, and I have three digital copies from All Romance to offer, so if you’re thinking you want to try this book, leave a comment and let me know which format you’d prefer. You have (OOPS – a little over) 24 hours to win.
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway. Winners are chosen by the Random Integer Generator. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. Do not remove this tag under penalty of law.
I cannot wait to hear what you think of this book. Karina Bliss is one of the best Harlequin authors I’ve read, and I would love to hear your reaction to this book when we next convene the Sizzling Book Club Chat.
This sounds great! I would love an ebook copy, should I win . . .
Amazon is mean to me, and would sell me the kindle version before 1. january. So I would love a digital copy.
I’d love a copy – digital please!!
Thanks!
WOULDN’T of course.
I’d love a signed copy!
I’d love an ebook copy! I’ve never read any of her books, and I’ve only ever downloaded books from Amazon, so it would be nice to try something new.
I’d love a paperback copy, and i guess this goes to show how a true review can tip the balance—I’d read the cover blurb online, but wasn’t intrigued. Now, I want to read it! Catchpa “youre96”: Good heavens, I hope I’m not that old just yet!
I’m on a book buying moratorium until I can whittle my TBR down, so a free ebook copy would totally let me cheat my own rules and get something new.
Sign me up!
ooooh, either format would work for me! Sounds excellent!
This book sounds really intriguing and I love paperback books.
I love how you have copies to give away. I prefer paperback, but would also be ok with an epub version. I was sad that I couldn’t get my hands on a copy of the last book.
I just got a brand new Nook for Christmas, so epub would be rockin!
Well, I ordered the ebook, so I would like paperback if possible, especially since its signed. Can’t wait to read it.
Ooh, ooh, I’ve been wanting to read her! I’d love a paperback copy as I have not yet joined the digital age…
I’d love to get a digital version! Makes it easier if you don’t have to ship internationally.
I’d prefer a paperback, but am equipped to accept digital. And even if I don’t win, I will read this book!
It sounds like a great book. I would prefer paperback but am completely comfortable with a digital copy too.
I’ve wanted this book since reading the review on Dear Author. Paper copy, please!
Excellent choice, now I must read it. I would love an e-copy.
Ooo! I would happily take either version… slight preference for paper, but the story sounds like so much fun that I would cheerfully figure out a way to read it electronically.
I love signed copies, but I’ll read a good story in any format available!
Is there anything better than a signed GOOD book?
I’d love a print copy if I win please.

Would love a copy—either format is fine.
would love to try it out in either form! thanks!
I’d love to try that one; paperback please 🙂
I would love this in paperback please! I think I’m the only one who hasn’t got an e-reader yet…
P.S. my spamword is position69. Too appropriate for this site! 🙂
I don’t have an e-reader (yet) so I probably should take the book.
Although I’d probably prefer the e-reader format for when I *do* get an e-reader!
Sounds like a fun book, I’d love a paperback copy!
Either would be lush! Another new author to read, thanks.
Thanks to you, Sarah, I’m hte proud owner of a new Sony Touch. I’d love to practice adding new material with this book club selection—- and participate in the chat!
I’d love to check out this book! Since I prefer my Kindle to my Sony and I don’t know how to convert it to something Kindle-friendly, I guess I would prefer a hard copy version. (Assuming I win, of course!)
Sounds good – I’d love to read it! Paperback would be preferred but I’d take it as an ebook too! 🙂
I’m an old-fashioned girl, so a paperback would be awesome!
I would love to have a paperback copy. Looks like a great read
I’d love a paperback copy.
Ooh, either format works for me. Although ebook for preference these days. Looking forward to this one.
Super pick, Sarah. I’d love a copy in either format. Thanks!
ebook is preferable thanks to my xmas nook, and the ongoing new book moratorium (though obviously exceptions must be made for gifts). I just downloaded the only book of hers the NYPL has in digital format, Mr. Unforgettable, which was also recommended to me – possibly here? Could I donate a digital copy of a book to the library after I finished it? Oooh, could the author? I mean, as long as we’re trespassing on her generosity, why not push it a little further?
I would like a print book. No ebook, please.
Thanks for the chance!
