Welcome to the Beach Reads in August Giveaway Hop!
We're talking favorite beach reads, and I have to admit that my current favorite read is my upcoming release Night Unbound, Immortal Guardians Book 5. I'm writing Book 6 in the series now and frequently have to go back and look things up in Night Unbound to ensure I maintain continuity. Well, every time I do, I get caught up in the story and end up reading it again. LOL. It has everything I love in paranormals: romance, action, passion, and humor. It's dark and intense one moment, and makes me laugh the next.
September 2, 2014
NAMED ONE OF SMEXY BOOKS'
BEST ROMANCES OF 2014 (so far)!
"If you are a paranormal romance fan, I recommend this series!"
—Smexy Books
4.5 stars
"Book after book, Duvall brings her readers complex,
fascinating tales of romance, danger and loyalty."
—RT Book Reviews
For centuries, Lisette d'Alençon has been a warrior against the dark. She fights alongside her brothers and comrades. But when the dreams start coming, she can't bear to confess them to the Immortal Guardians' command. Dreams of a dark-haired man with soft eyes and brutal wounds, a man her heart aches for—and a man she knows has been declared a traitor.
Zach is an exile, a loner. He won't defend himself against false accusations or grovel to those who should have faith in him. But he'll damn sure defend the woman who kept him sane against a plague of super-vamps that seems to have appeared from nowhere. The Guardians will blame him, and that will make Lisette suspect, too. With life, death and eternity on the line, who can they really trust?
Mini Excerpt
Crossing to stand before him, Lisette gripped the lapels of her coat and opened it wide. A small arsenal hid inside, tucked into various and assorted loops and pockets and sheaths. “Take your pick.”
My Giveaway
An ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of Night Unbound you can take with you to the beach, along with an Immortal Guardians swag pack (2 postcards, 6 bookmarks, and 6 trading cards)

I don't really have a favorite beach read this year since I haven't gotten there yet. We are actually going the last week in September. So I guess you have an idea of what I might be rereading while I am there :) Laurann Dohner's "Darkness" and Robin Owens' "Ghost Layer" also come out at the end of September so I might be reading one of them.

Sorry if there is a double posting of this.
My favorite beach read is whatever I'm reading at the moment, but probably something paranormal.

I don't have a single favorite beach read; anything great works for me. I prefer horror, mysteries, fantasy, and paranormal reads when I enjoy myself, though.

I don't pick books any differently for beach, so any book I'd enjoy fits (:

I don't have a specific book or series I like to read at the beach... It is just what I am in the mood for on the day or a new release.

I don't really have a particular beach read. I just read whatever I am currently reading. I am the one book at a time type of reader so just keep reading where I left off.
