Giveaway: Say Yes the the Marquess – and to Some Cake!

Book Say Yes to the Marquess - woman on a hill over looking a castle and her dress is undone in the back with no stays or anything. Not sure why she has no undergarment but what ever.Tessa Dare’s new book, Say Yes to the Marquess ( A | BN | K | G | AB | Au ), is out, and Jessie the wonderful at Avon had a really fun idea for a giveaway.

A delicious idea, in fact.

The grand prize for this celebratory giveaway? A 6″ cake from Momofuku Milk Bar.

These are some serious cakes, you guys.

Chocolate Malt Cake? Yes, Please!
Chocolate Malt Cake? Yes, Please!

Why cakes? There’s cake business in the book, but I don’t want to spoil it. But if you win, you can read AND have cake. I like this plan! Plus, a 6″ cake from Momofuku Milk Bar feeds 8-10 people, so if you feel like celebrating, everyone can share in the deliciousness.

Second prize: a selection of Tessa Dare books, including both books in the Castles Ever After series.

Yay cake! Yay romance reading!

Cranberry Gingerbread Cake
Cranberry Gingerbread Cake? Sure, why not?

Standard disclaimers apply. The grand prize contest is open to US and Canadian Readers Only (sorry, y’all).

Must be over 18 and prepared to really, really enjoy cake to win. Etiquette guides recommend pastry forks for consuming cake, but really, any utensil, including your fingers, is appropriate. It’s cake, for heaven’s sake.

    Cake (and cake sounds), pillows, flowers, dresses, oh my yes!

  5. marjorie says:

    Yay! And if I may pimp another thing I adore, besides Tessa Dare books, SBTB and cake, it is Hyperbole and a Half. If you do not know “The God of Cake,” you must read “The God of Cake.”

    Cake especially one of those cakes should never be refused even day 6 into one’s New Year Resolution 🙂

  7. DonnaMarie says:

    @Marjorie, YES! I had totally forgotten the God of Cake. Thanks! And thanks, Sarah, for the opportunity to win romance AND cake. Romance AND CAKE!!

  8. That cake is so tempting … thanks for the giveaway!

  9. Beth Not Elizabeth says:

    I go to Momofuku Milk Bar every time I visit my sis in NYC. I drag all newcomers to the city there, too. So good. This might be the best giveaway ever. Cakes and books 4 eva.

  10. Kimberley says:

    That is some serious cake, y’all. I need smell-o-vision for my laptop pronto.

  11. Yaara says:

    Ha, I can’t join this one since I’m not in America, but thanks for reminding me to go and buy this 🙂 I *loved* the first book in this series and have been waiting for it to come out.

  12. JoanneF says:

    Mmmmm………caaaake!

  16. azteclady says:

    I really enjoyed the first in the Castles Ever After, so it would be cool to get the second one. Plus, the cake.

    Though I would have to share–must lose some inches before visiting the family this year! (I haven’t seen–or been seen by–most of them for over five years.)

  17. Jan says:

    I love Tessa Dare, love cake, and love “God of Cake”. Show it to anybody that comes within 20 feet of me. Thanks for the giveaway. Great way to supplement my lo carb diet.

  18. Brooke B. says:

    Oh, I don’t think I would be sharing that cake with anyone. Except my book boyfriends… 😉

  19. Ginny Wexler says:

    Cake and a book? How wonderful!

  20. LaurieF says:

    Love this giveaway.

  21. Diane P. Diamond says:

    Cakes are a huge weakness for me, together with a good book and a cup of tea. Tessa’s book, and this cake sound just fabulous.

  22. CAAAAAAKE!

    Best giveaway ever!

  23. Mary D. says:

    Those cakes look fabulous! And I’d love to have a copy of Say Yes to the Marquess. Thanks for the chance to win.

  24. Pam C. says:

    6″ cake serves 8-10 people my ass. Didja see the chocolate chip cake on their site? I figure it’ll serve 2, if he asks real nice.

  25. Anita H. says:

    Cake and books! Best giveaway ever!!!! Although I’m not sure if I want to share the cake with anyone……maybe my sister if I feel like sharing! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  26. Wendy R. says:

    It’s good huh? I’ve heard lots of good things about momofuku but never had the opportunity.

  27. Bea says:

    Oh Tessa, how I love thee! I got my preorder of Say Yes to the Marquess on the 30th and I loved it! You had me at “define long’. You make me want to have your heroines as my BFFs and your heroes…sigh… hot AND funny . Please, Tessa, keep them coming. I know I’m fangirling big time here. Please forgive me, it’s probably the repeated mention of all that cake.

  28. This is such a great giveaway. Love both the cake and the books! Thanks for this~ 🙂

  29. NANCY ANDRAKE says:

    Never had a chocolate malt cake. Now I need to find a recipe.

  30. nancy says:

    Like books better than cake, but these
    cakes do tempt!

  31. khadijo says:

    Love this book and the series, fantastic idea unfortunately I’m from South Africa. 🙂

  32. Tessa’s newest book and a devilishly good looking cake? All I’d need is a fire in the fireplace. I’d call in sick to the day job (don’t worry, I’m not a surgeon or anything like that) and read and eat. : )

  33. Angela says:

    Oh my gosh, those cakes looked so scrumptious I almost licked the computer screen! I would share with my husband, mother and sisters- if they happened to be around when it arrived 😉

  34. Just wanted to say I loved the book..can’t have the cake..I am gluten free….darn!!!!:-(

  35. Kim says:

    This is a very original giveaway! Thank you.

  36. Kareni says:

    What a fun giveaway! Those cakes look delicious.

  37. Books over cakes…there are some kinds of cakes that could be favorites but not very many. Chocolate chip date cake, Missippie muc cake for a couple…nothing like that cake!

  38. Maureen says:

    I would share it with my family.

  39. Ora says:

    YAY CAKE! I would defintely stab someone with a fork if they tried to steal a bite of it.

  40. Timberle Ramsey says:

    Yummy cake….this is my birthday month 1/20 so cake is always good for birthdays!
