I’m so thrilled to be featuring my good pal and FABULOUS contemporary (and paranormal) romance writer Juliana Stone. Juliana specializes in bad boy heroes with a lot of heart, and in smart, funny, very emotional reads. Her books get spectacular reviews and her readers just love her.
Juliana has just released a new book in her Bad Boys of Crystal Lake Series, and it’s a holiday romance–hooray! Check out this review from NYT Bestselling author Carly Phillips:
“A heartfelt look into pain and grief and the saving beauty of love. … Achingly beautiful.”
All true. Juliana writes sexy, heartfelt books. Here’s the blurb for The Christmas He Loved Her:
In the small town of Crystal Lake, Christmas is a time for sledding, hot chocolate, and cozying up to the fire with those you love. For Jake Edwards, it’s also time to come home and face his past. He thought there would never be anything harder than losing his brother. Turns out there is: falling in love with his brother’s widow, Raine.
Ever since they were little, Jesse was the Edwards brother who was always there for her, and Jake was the one who knew just how to push her buttons. Raine can’t imagine a life without them, which is why it was doubly decimating when Jake left town after his brother’s sudden death. Now he’s back and she doesn’t know whether to be mad or thrilled. Maybe both. Maybe it will be the perfect chance for both of them to finally find happiness again.
Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? If you love sexy and emotional contemporary romances AND holiday romances, this book is definitely for you.
For my readers today, Juliana is giving away a copy of The Christmas He Loved Her, in print or Kindle format. Just tell us what are some of your favorite contemporary romance series for a chance to win.

All wonderful writers, Erin!

Hi, PJ! Thanks for stopping by! I haven’t read Virginia Kantra’s series – must look it up!
I really like the Lucky Harbor Series by Jill Shalvis.
Love that series, Cindy!
Some of my favorite contemporary romances are by Catherine Anderson (actually, I love all of her contemporaries) and Laveryl Spencer (I like all of hers too). They write historicals too, but it’s their contemporaries that have stuck with me. So glad to be introduced to you, Juliana…and hello to you, too, Vanessa!
