Even though the official first day of Spring is 20 days away, I’m ready for it to show up now. Although we’ve had a mild winter compared to some places, Mother Nature wasn’t letting us get by without one final whomping. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday were absolutely abysmal – a couple of feet of wet snow. (I emphasize ‘wet’ because there’s nothing you can do in it – the X-country ski trails were a nightmare, and if you ventured outside, you came in looking as if you’d just endured a torrential downpour. There was nothing to do but read or clean. I decided to read. :-D

For those of you faced with the same dilemma, I’d like to offer you a glimpse of the wonderful books we have this month at Blaze. No matter how wretched it is outside, you’ll be feeling the heat soon. I promise.
March Kim Sam
First up is another volume of Blazing Bedtime Stories. Kimberly Raye and Samantha Hunter are the geniuses behind this collection. Kim’s story is based on the myth of Cupid and Psyche (in other words, she’s having sex with somebody she doesn’t know, and can’t see. Now, that’s a fantasy!) And Samantha’s book is a modern day version of Aladdin (doesn’t everybody want a genie who can fulfill sexual fantasies?)March Nancy

And talking about fantasies, Nancy Warren has the Forbidden Fantasies title this month – Too Hot to Handle. The hero in this book is a real scoundrel…and he’ll definitely make sure this book lands in your keeper pile!March Heather

Heather MacAllister offers up another Encounters this month with His Little Black Book. When an oversexed corporate executive mistakenly sends an invitation to the company beach house to everyone in his address book, he’s the only one who doesn’t end up getting lucky! This book is a lot of fun, and reviewers are raving about the ending.March Debbi

Debbi Rawlins finishes up her Stolen From Time miniseries with Lone Star Lover. When a sexy modern day cop ends up going back to the Old West, all he can think about is going home. Until he meets the woman he was sent back to find…and protect! A great read!March Bonnie

Bonnie Edwards makes her Blaze debut with Possessing Morgan. You’ll never see two more unlikely Blaze characters than these two protagonists – a billionaire playboy and a repo woman! But when Morgan Swann gets the chance to meet her fantasy man, she takes it. Even though it means hitching up his prized Morgan (a car) to her tow truck! This one’s a lot of fun. You never know what’s going to happen next.March Marie

And finally, Marie Donovan finishes up the month with Knowing the Score, a book set on the polo fields of the rich and famous. And if you didn’t think polo players were sexy, think again! This guy is HOT!

Remember, if the weather gets you down, just pick up a Blaze book. You’ll be hot soon. ;-)

For a chance to win this months books, please add the phrase “I need to warm up with a Blaze” to the comment field. Good luck and happy reading. (H)

    Hey Brenda, “Happy Spring” to you too. I commiserate with you on the weather. I already have all these wonderful books. I picked them up last week. I can’t wait for vacation, which starts in oh four days. I get to catch up on all my reading. Maybe I will finally get to lower my TBR bookshelves. Don’t count me in for the contest okay.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful, warm and sunny day. I don’t think I will be as lucky. If you do en up spying Phoebus’s eye, soak some up for me, will ya?

    Peace and love,
    Paula R.

  4. Brenda, I’m right there with you — same here. 20″ of snow that feels like concrete when you shovel it, but slurry when you walk in it. I hate leaving the house, though the dogs insist…

    These books look just like what we need to get a good melt going! *G*

    Bonnie, congrats on your debut! And polo, time travel, and little black books — when will I find the time to write? (I will, don’t worry!). LOL

  15. Donna McClure says:

    We had “almost” spring yesterday in my part of northern California, it was wonderful! since I had cabin fever I drove over to the coast to enjoy Mother Nature at her finest. Nothing like spending time looking at waves crashing to rejuvenate. :-)

    Blaze always comes through with wonderful stories. I would love to win those books. Thanks Brenda. :-) (Y)

  16. Jane says:

    I need to warm up with a Blaze. Seems we’ll be having more snow this week.

  17. Deb H. says:

    The sun is shining today and the high is 34 degrees, almost like a heatwave compared to the temps. we’ve had lately. I like snow, but very few times this winter have we had snowfalls under 3 inches at a time. So, I am ready for spring.
    BUT, I am ready to warm up with a Blaze, too!

    Hi Brenda,

    ‘I need to warm up with a Blaze’, although, cool down would be more appropriate since we’ve just had a killer summer Down Under… I guess I can save them for winter? Nope, no deal =) I love Blaze at any time of the day, night, month, season, year.

    Hopefully your weather clears up soon and you can start to enjoy some heat of the elemental kind rather than the fictional!

    I need to warm up with a Blaze — SO I AM!!! I am currently reading a Blazingly great book. Perhaps you’ve heard of it: it’s DOES SHE DARE? I am loving it (and I’m wondering what I missed by not “doing it” on a motorcycle)! Hope to finish it tomorrow, as a bunch of work to do tonight after I’m done catching up on my blogs! Thanks for another great blog and giveaway!
