CONCOURS / GIVEAWAY
Sans Prévenir – Matthew Crow
A quinze ans, Francis Wootton est passionné de vieux films, de musique rock et de lectures romantiques. Mais avant tout, il ne se prend pas au sérieux. Pas plus que les excentricités de sa mère et la désinvolture de son adulte de frère.
Lorsqu’on lui diagnostique une leucémie, ses priorités changent. Il y a l’horreur d’être retardé d’une année au lycée, la menace d’une calvitie imminente, la nécessite de retrouver sa plus belle chemise au cas ou une pop star lui rendrait visite pour une photo…
Mais il n’imaginait pas rencontrer Ambre, son caractère de chien son humour féroce, sa vulnérabilité désarmante et irrésistible.
Under the Mistletoe (Lucky Harbor, 6.5) – Jill Shalvis
JUST ONE MORE KISS
There’s no place like home for the holidays. And the Lucky Harbor Bed & Breakfast is bursting with festive lights and good cheer. But for Mia, Christmas is turning out to be anything other than merry and bright. Her recent break-up with her boyfriend Nick has made her return bittersweet. But then a surprise arrives, when Nick follows her to town bearing gifts-and asking for forgiveness.
Nick grew up without a family of his own so he’s overwhelmed by the love that Mia receives from all her relatives, gathered together to celebrate the season. Under their watchful eyes, Nick finds earning back her trust the hardest thing he’s ever had to do. If he succeeds, he will receive the greatest gift of all, Mia’s love for a lifetime.
Maybe Someday (Maybe, 1) – Colleen Hoover
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance.
At twenty-two years old, Sydney has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter’s cheating on her–and she is left trying to decide what to do next.
Sydney becomes captivated by Ridge, her mysterious neighbor. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…
Rought Diamond – Kathryn Ledson
Funny, romantic, and action-packed, Rough Diamond introduces Australia’s own Stephanie Plum – the unforgettable Erica Jewell.
The shock ending to Erica Jewell’s marriage left a huge hole in her bank balance and a bigger one in her heart. And now her life goals make a very short list: no surprises, no debt and, definitely, no men. That is, until she finds one bleeding to death in her Melbourne garden one stormy Friday night.
Jack Jones is a man whose emotional wounds are more life-threatening than the bullet in his shoulder. Under orders, he recruits Erica to his secret team of vigilantes, and Erica suspects her safe, predictable world is about to be turned upside down.
And she’s absolutely right.

You Slay Me (Aisling Grey: Guardian, 1) – Katie MacAlister
Aisling Grey is a courier enjoying a free, work-related trip to Paris when she learns she’s a Guardian. That’s a keeper of the Gates of Hell, for those who don’t know. She finds this out from Drake Vireo, who’s scrumptiously sexy-at least in his human form. Now Drake has stolen the package Aisling was sent to deliver, and she must track him down, get the package, and try to resist the passion boiling inside her.
Intégrale Magie Irlandaise – Nora Roberts
Ardmore, petit village de pêcheurs sur la côte irlandaise.
Entre le pub Gallagher où l’on danse et chante, les maisons fleuries et la campagne alentour, ce coin typique du pays attire de nombreux touristes. Mais c’est surtout la légende de lady Gwen et de son chevalier Carrick qui attise la curiosité des visiteurs… Victimes d’une malédiction, les amants sont devenus des fantômes qui hantent parfois la lande, pleurant sur leur triste sort. Pour les réunir et briser le sortilège à tout jamais, trois couples devront s’unir à Ardmore. Aidan et Shaw Gallagher, ainsi que leur sœur Darcy, trouveront-ils l’amour en ce lieu plein de magie ?
La Mécanique du Coeur – Mathias Malzieu
Le jour de la naissance de Jack, en 1874 à Edimbourg, est si froid que son coeur en reste gelé. La sage-femme qui l’a mis au monde, mi-sorcière mi-chaman, remplace l’organe défectueux par une horloge qu’il ne faut pas oublier de remonter tous les matins. Le garçon doit aussi éviter toute émotion : pas de colère, pas d’amour. Mais il va rencontrer une chanteuse de rue au regard de braise…
Histoire d’une mouette et du chat qui lui apprit à voler – Luis Sepulveda
Zorbas le chat grand noir et gros a promis à la mouette qui est venue mourir sur son balcon de couver son dernier oeuf, de protéger le poussin et de lui apprendre à voler. Tous les chats du port de Hambourg vont se mobiliser pour l’aider à tenir ces promesses insolites. A travers les aventures rocambolesques et drôles de Zorbas et Afortunada, on découvre la solidarité, la tendresse, la nature et à la poésie.
