Giveaway: Burning Up and The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

Burning Up (Berkley Sensation)It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Meljean Brook. I love her so much I want to have her babies (and she agreed, I have proof!). When she told me eons and eons ago that she was going to start writing Steampunk, I was thrilled. Partially because I adore her and want to read everything she writes, but also because I've always enjoyed Steampunk and want to see more of it published.

After I read the novella available in the Burning Up anthology, I was totally hooked. I adored Mad Machen and Ivy. The secondary characters and love story totally had me hooked (er..review to come, someday).

The Iron DukeI couldn't wait to read The Iron Duke. A full length novel set in the same world, featuring characters I'd already gotten to know? I couldn't wait.

It was Amazing! I adored it. It wasn't always easy to read - neither character is an easy one. But boy was it fabulous. I think every single one of you needs to try it.

So today I'm here to extend the love to you. I have seven (7) copies of each book to giveaway. If you'd like to be entered to win one, leave a comment on this post telling me which one you want and why. Contest ends Saturday, Oct 2 at 11:59 pm.

Just for kicks and giggles, I'll enter you twice if you post about this contest on your blog, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook or another social media site. Just leave a link in the comments.

So excited about the Iron Duke. It sounds like a great blend of fantasy and romance. Two of my favorite things! The fact that it's steampunk is icing on the cake.

Ali said...

I'd love to be entered for the Burning Up anthology... It'll give me a chance to get a taste of Meljean's steampunk romance. I love anthologies because the stories are shorter and allow me to read them even when I'm busy.

Since Burning Up is the next book on my TBR pile, I'll choose The Iron Duke. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Sheree said...

Gosh, how to chose? I love the cover of "The Iron Duke" but "Burning Up" sounds good, too. "Iron Duke", it is. As I haven't read any steampunk romance (just YA and watched some anime), I'm interested in this book. Thanks!

Lisa F. said...

It's Meljean Brook, that's why. I adore her books. I can't wait to read her books. Her guardian series is the best! I really, really want to read her Steampunk series

Brandy W said...

I'm torn. Should I start with the shortie or just dive in head first? I think I'll dive. I've heard wonderful things about The Iron Duke.

I posted about the contest on my blog.

Then I could introduce her to the wonderful, fabulous, fantastic Meljean Brook. I am sure she will start glomming!!!

I would like to read "Burning Up". It would give me the same exposure as it did you with the first novella. If I were as hooked as you became with it I'm sure that it would quickly make Meljean Brook an addition to my addiction authors list.

Michelle said...

Oh wonderful contest! I think I'd really, really like to read THE IRON DUKE cause I have heard many, many good things about it this far. But of course I also want BURNING UP... *sigh* how's a girl to choose?
