Beach Read Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. Thank you for your participation!
 

Ready for some Starbucks and good books? 

There's nothing more fun in the blogosphere than joining blog hops (giveaways), where readers can surf the web for all kinds of good posts and great prizes. This merry month of May, I've teamed up with The Kids Did It and The Mommy Island to bring you some early summer fun and escapes. In other words, prizes. 

At The Balanced Writer, this means books!

Win a $10 Starbucks gift card and an autographed copy of pirate treasure ship adventure, By Heart and Compass, and its historical prequel, The Privateer right here. For free. Today. Like Now! (Actually, you have two weeks, so share the news.)

You know what a Starbucks gift card gets ya--coffee, smoothies, frappuccinos, pastries--but what are the books about? 

Can't wait? Buy Now!
Can't wait? Buy Now!
When Lacey Whitman buys a restored Victorian home, she never dreams discovering an antique diary will lead her back to sea and into the arms of the dive bum she’d rather forget. Her habit of living in the past comes to a screeching halt as diver Max Bertrand and the diary of his ancestor take Lacey on the quest of a lifetime: To discover and raise the privateer ship, Specter, and bring the treasure and legacy of a true hero home again. 
 But will finding it cost her heart?

Can't wait? Buy now!
The reign of piracy is over in the Caribbean, or so it’s believed, until diamonds are discovered in Brazil. Despite the cover-up, Captain Julius Bertrand begins to hear whispers. Distracted by an avaricious woman he could never love and the beautiful Kate O’Connell who doesn’t need him, he tries to untangle the web of mysterious cargo someone in the New World wants kept secret. When Bertrand’s pirating past returns with the explosive force of a sweeping broadside, he finds he must sacrifice everything his respectable life has brought him, in order to save what matters most.

Both of these books are full of beaches and horizons, with romance and adventure on the side. I think you'll find them perfect for poolside, the bomb for the beach, and a lifesaver for long car trips or airline flights.

Jump in on this great opportunity for free beverages and books.

I am following via email/FeedBurner subscription, with aac0142[at]gmail[dot]com.

I'm intrigued by the synopsis of "By Heart and Compass"! A "dive bum," an antique diary, a restored Victorian home... It sounds, well... dreamy, and drifty, like one might want to read it in a boat rocking gently on the open water. (Or, I could be entirely off-base with that. :p )

Thank you,
