It's Valentine's Day! There's red and chocolate everywhere, and there will be a lot of dining out and champagne and general fuzziness. Oh – and some media attention toward the romance novel since it's an annual thing, asking romance authors what the best date nights are and how to woo the unwilling maiden after you've taken over her father's business in an act of cold blooded corporate revenge.
I figure, let's give gifts! I am giving away two $50 gift cards to the bookstore of the winner's choice! All you have to do: tell me which romance novel you think would make a great gift, and for whom. Maybe it's the book that has the most wide and giddy appeal to the most readers you know. Maybe it's the book you think is one of the best kept secrets of romance publishing. Maybe it's just your favorite for a whole pile of reasons. Either way: name the book you think would make a marvelous gift in the comments, and you might receive the gift card that will enable the purchase of much of the romances! To the yay!
I will select two winners at random, and they will receive $50 to spend at the bookstore of their choosing.
Standard disclaimers apply: I am not being compensated for this giveaway. Your mileage may vary. Turn inside out before washing. Void where prohibited. Must be wearing a cowboy hat and be 18 years of age or older to win. Stop clubbing, baby seals.
You've got 24 hours, so let's start suggesting the perfect giftable romances!

I’d give Crusie’s Bet Me and give it to my baby sister. Not for a profound reason, just because she hasn’t read it.
I’d give “The Iron Duke” by Meljean Brook because I think it’s a great story with something for everyone 🙂
I’d give Maid to Match by Deeann Gist to my MIL. She loves to read catagory romances and series and I think she’d really like it. It’s not my usual, I read almost only paranormals, but I liked it. And I found it from a recommendation here!

Thank you to everyone who entered – this list had me nodding and thinking, “Yup, yup, totally true, I’ve read that….” My to-be-read is now frightened, however.
