Ok so the gremlins ate the first RUSH giveaway post. Some people can see it. Most can’t (me included) VERY ANNOYING and I apologize for the inconvenience. I’m reposting the original post below so that MAYBE everyone can see it and participate. Again, sorry!
Hey gang! As promised, I’m going to give away advance copies of RUSH :) And what better way to start off the new year than to give out some pressies!
If you’d like to be entered to win, just comment below and tell me what your favorite read of 2012 was. If you absolutely CAN’T narrow it down to just ONE, feel free to list two or three. But let me know what you read and LOVED this year!
I’ll leave the contest open through Monday, Jan 7th. I’ll be out of town until Sunday. Winners will have a couple of days to respond and send me their mailing address but please be aware! We’re down to ONE MONTH until RUSH releases so you’ll need to check back on MONDAY to see if you’re a winner. If the ARC isn’t claimed in a short time, I’ll award the book to someone else. I want to get these books out to y’all before the book actually releases :)
As always, ALL of my giveaways are open to international readers. No restrictions, so enter and comment away :)
And have a wonderful new year!! Here’s to an even MORE awesome 2013!
xoxo
I would have to say the sweet series. Mostly because it has changed my sex life!!!!
Maya,
I loved quite a bit of books, but I will say that one that I was not anticipating was On Dublin Street by Samantha Young. It was recommended on a GR group page and by my best friend, and I must say, it was very memorable and very good. I’m now anticipating the next one!! :)
Happy 2013! Good luck with Steele :D
My favorite reads this year were Cherished by you, sweet addiction, Tart, Lover reborn by JR ward, I have read so many but those were on the top of my list
Besides the Maya Banks books I would have to say Bared to You and Reflected in You by Sylvia Day were my favorite reads of 2012
Hi Maya,
I had some great new author discoveries 2012. Toni Aleo, Kathleen Brooks, Maria Force.
Can’t wait to read your new series!! There are just too many books that are coming out that I can’t wait to read. But really anything by you, Lauren Dane, Shayla Black, Lexi Blake, Jill Shalvis, JR Ward, Kallypso Masters, Lacey Alexander and so on.
happy new year!
Colters’ Promise and Born Of Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I started reading the Sweet Series this last year and fell in love. I am also a big fan of the KGI novels. A new author that I got into was Kathreen Brooks and her Bluegrass Series. It is pretty calm, but a still fun read.
Playing to Win–Jaci Burton
Echoes at Dawn
Tart
Reflected in You – Sylvia Day
The Prince – Tiffany Reisz
Can’t wait to read Steele’s story!
Can’t narrow it down to any one book or author. Among those I have read in 2012: Maya Banks, Jill Shalvis, Lori Forster, Lori Leigh, Kallyspo Masters, and many, many more. Love to read!
So many books that I loved this past year. I can’t name just one off the top of my head. I just remember the book title The Escape Diaries.
In Flight and Mile High by R.K. Lilley
I can’t narrow it down :) I did love Kresley Cole’s books out this year and your highlander books a LOT, though.
My favourite reads of 2012 were:
you of course =)
J. R. Ward
Katie MacAlister
Lara Adrian
Don Winslow.
Thank you for the giveaway and much luck and health in 2013. =)
It’s so hard to narrow it down. I read a lot in 2012. I have read the Sweet series, Colters’ series and then there is Mary B Morrison, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Carl Weber books. Too many titles to list. I really enjoy reading.
I read so many great books in 2012, so narrowing it down is hard for me. I’ll say I Need You For Christmas by Leah Braemel, Gone Country by Lorelei James, and of course Echos at Dawn :)
One of my favorite book of 2012 would have to be stuck in the middle by virginia smith
My favorite book of 2012 would have to be Never Seduce a Scot! SO I ABSOLUTELY ALSO LOVED THE MCCABE TRILOGY :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your books… Cant wait for the remainder to be done… Keep up the good work Maya!!! :)
I have a couple favorite book series. I fell in love with the Sweet series and the Thoughtless series by S.C. Stephens.
Loving your books. Besides yours, probably Wallbanger!
Favorite authors of the year? Maya Banks, Karen Marie Moning, Kresley Cole, Jana DeLeon.
besides everything my favorite author, Maya Banks ;), released, I discovered Hunger Games and the amazing Chris Carter. His Robert Hunter series is SOOOOOO awesome!
This is a hard question! Obviously, I loved all of your books that were released in 2012! ;) I also loved The Seduction of Elliot McBride by Jennifer Ashley, Summoning the Night by Jenn Bennett, Third Grave Dead Ahead and Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones, and I should probably stop myself now… :D Thanks for the giveaway!
Well besides your books, I would say my favorites would be Tiffany Reisz “The Prince”, Lauren Dane’s “Tart”, Sophie Oak’s “Chasing Bliss”, and Jaci Burton’s “Taking a Shot”
Hey Maya!!!
My favorite book of 2012 is a hard question, since I probably read about 4-5 books a week, but some of my favorites this past year were Nauti Temptress by Lora Leigh, Their Virgin Concubine by Lexi Blake and Shayla Black, Tiger by Laurann Dohner, and Shades of Gray by you!! :) Shades of Gray was definitely a great way to end a good year of reading. Please keep writing like you do. I love it and cannot get enough.
Maya i can’t wait for this new series!!! My favorite reads were fifty shades series, kgi series for sure, sweet series…..the list could go on and on!!! I hope i win this book…please my bday is coming up:)
I was going though some web sites to look up some new books to read and I came across two books ..Emma Holly ..Devil at Night and one of your books Sweet Temptation now I have never read one of these books at the time I found them so good I went out and got as many as I could find from the Library.Thanks for the great books
Of course all of the Sweet Series but, I also love the KGI series….Echos at Dawn that I Pre-ordered wouldn’t load on my Nook so I rushed to the store and bought the paperback!!!
I love all of your books, just finished shades of gray…loved it!!
I read so much it is hard to pick one that is a favorite. between you, lauren dane, lori foster and lora leigh I cant even begin to pick!!
Although the contest is over I still felt complelled to post my response. My favorite reads of 2012 were “Four Play” (Banks & Black); “The Dream Guardians Series” – I fell in love with Connor LOL(S. Day), and KGI Series (no need to say who wrote that)…Garrett is my favorite in this series. Enjoy 2013..
The best book I read was definitely Shades of Gray!!!! I was so excited to read it that I stayed up until 1 AM on Dec 31st to buy it on iBooks! It was a good end to the year and I’m sooo excited to read Forged in Steele in a few months!
I loved The Mistress the story of Marley & Chrysander It was a very emotional ride.
It’s difficult to narrow down to a few. I love the KGI series and Elle Kennedy’s Out of Uniform books. For a change of pace I like James Rollins and Matthew Reilly.
I LOVED the KGI Series!!! Hidden Away was my favorite … only because i wish Garrett was real ;)
You know I can not really pick one book. KGI is amazing and I can not wait to read a story on Steel. The Sweet series is one hell of a read ? I am looking forward to RUSH you are an amazing writer thank you.
Maya, the KGI series was the best Ive read in a really long time! Shades of Gray was great! cant wait for Steeles story
Maybe a lil too late, but besides your Coltiers series,i have been reading some of Christine feehans Drake sister’s books.
I absolutly love your Highlander series. Can not wait until your most recent book coming out in March.
My fav book of the year would have to be Never Seduce A Scot. Not only was it an amazing story in its own right. It has a female lead who was not perfect, but so strong and beautiful. It featured a male lead that looked beyond what the wold saw to the women beneath.
It was so nice to read a book that had these features as well as a beautiful love story.
Love all your books this was by far my fav can’t wait for me.
KGI is my fav, Sweet following a close second, but I am so looking forward to RUSH. I have read everything that you have written and Lady I do so love the way you write, please, please give Steel his story and never stop writing. THANKS
Heidi
Oh my! There are so many to choose from!! I discovered many great authors this past year and you are one of them!
I loved reading sweet surrender cant wait to read the rest of the sweet series… keep up the good writing..
Hi Maya,
I only discovered your book 3 months ago and in that time I have become totally addicted and have read all of your series!! ( Many sleepless night!!)
My absolute favourite have been both KGI and Sweet series.
Looking forward to Rush!! I will buy the ebook as soon its out!!
Congratulations on a amazing career and I look forward to staying up many many more nights losing myself in your stories!!!
PS.Wish Rush had come out earlier!! Summer holidays in Aus!!!
I love the Colter’s family. I could not stop reading. As soon as I was done with one I had to read the others. I can’t wait to read more.
I would have to say the colter series and the kgi series cant wait for the next ones to come out i just started to read the sweet series and like that also I am just a big fan of all your books it is my mission to read them all
Although this contest is over I also felt compelled to comment. I have read so many books in the last year and have found several wonderfully written , easy reads. My favorites from 2012 is the Sweet Series ( by you of course), Club Shadowlands Series By Cherise Sinclair, The Crossfire Series (Bared To You & Reflected in You)by Sylvia Day,The Original Sinners Series (The Siren, The Angel, & The Prince) by Tiffany Reisz, Gabriels Inferno & Gabriels Rapture By Sylvain Reynard, Crows Rows by Julie Hockley & Boycotts & Barflies by Victoria Michaels. The list could go one , but these are the ones I recommend the most and have read more than once , and will read again.
Have really enjoyed all of your Kelly Series, reading (Shades of Gray)tonight. I also have read all Colter’s Legacy and Sweet Series. Waiting for next set. Thanks for the good read.
I love the Sweet Series (read them in two weeks) but my all-time favorite is the Highlander Series, especially Seduction of a Highland Lass. By the end of the book I was tearing up and that for me never happens. I am excited to see a new book for March 25th “Highland Ever After”. The only con is that I have to wait so long to buy it!! Thank you Maya!
I love the KGI series but love the Colter series as well. To many to choose just one. I have read them over and over. When I need to get away I just pick up one of your books and be transferred into your world. Thanks for the books.
