I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the winner of the contest you entered to win an e-reader has been announced ... and it was not you. 😟

Hello ,

Last month you entered a contest by following authors on some social media platforms. I was given your name since you followed me. I don't expect you know me, so if you're not interested in getting one message a week from me, with deals on romance books, scroll to the bottom and unsubscribe.

Still reading? Okay!

I'm sorry that you didn't win the e-reader or the book bundle, but I'd like to give you a consolations prize for supporting indie authors with your follows and likes.

As much as I'd love to gift my book to you, Amazon doesn't allow me to give copies away willy nilly... but, they do let authors provide copies of our books to readers in exchange for honest reviews.

So, if you're on a budget and would like to read any of my books without having to buy them, here's how you can do that—

1. Download the first five chapters for free.
2. Read them!
3. Then, if you want to keep reading...
4. Reply to this email and ask for the whole book.
5. I'll send you a link for an Advanced Reader Copy.
6. You leave a short, honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or BookBub within a week of getting the ARC.
7. I don't get in trouble with the 'Zon and you get to be a legit ebook winner!

Get the 1st chapters of First In: A steamy, small-town firefighter romance

A reviewer on Goodreads called it "One of my top 10 books of the year." Now, I don't know how many books she's read, but still, that's a pretty nice vote of confidence for this story!

Get the 1st chapters of Second Breath: A steamy, opposites attract romance

A Goodreads reviewer said, "I'm simply blown away by the depth of emotions the author brought out in this book." Her review was so nice it stirred up my emotions.

Get the 1st chapters of Third Party: A steamy, second chance romance

"I'm in love with this beautiful, lyrical, emotionally honest second-chance romance! ... I sighed a few times, I laughed a lot, and I teared up once or twice, too. This is my favorite book from this author, and I highly recommend it." Goodreads reviewer

Whether you grab an ARC in exchange for a review or not, thank you for joining my Bloom'n list via your contest entry.

If you entered with more than one email address (clever! And double rats that your strategy didn't win you the e-reader), I encourage you to unsubscribe from the duplicate(s) since 4 out of 5 times, my messages won't be worth reading twice!

Stay safe, stay focused on the little HEAs, and keep reading!

love&stuff,

Danika
