It’s time for our annual Share the Love giveaway hop! This hop is a little different and all about sharing our favorite bloggers and authors with you! There’s a giveaway at every blog so visit them all and find out who all we just adore.
As an author and a reader, I've had the pleasure of meeting some amazing bloggers and reviewers over the past six years. My first book released in 2010. Hard to believe it's been that long! Many of these awesome women I've met in real life, too, and can totally vouch for their authenticity.
Contest: I'm giving away a $10 Amazon gift card. It's not virtual and will need to be mailed. Please follow those who interest you, and leave me a comment that you did with an email address. Winner will be chosen at random at the end of the event.
As I put this list together, I discovered some not-surprising trends. They’re strong women, with strong voices and opinions, and I respect them. Please note, it’s not comprehensive. We are limited in the amount we’re allowed to feature.
The list in alphabetical order (because I can’t pick favorites!):
A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet
Limecello
She tells it like it is, even if you don’t want to hear it. Honest, and real, and quite witty.

A true fan of romance, seeing Donna at conventions keeps it real. She’s always on the go, and lugs around reading treasures. Hint: Her opinion is not “humble,” but a strong voice in the community.
