Free Men and Dreamers Volume I: Dark Sky at Dawn

http://thebookbuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/free-men-and-dreamers-volum...

Beautiful story that takes place midst the backdrop of the War of 1812, highlighting the triumphs of an often overlooked generation: the children of the Founding Fathers of America. People rarely remember about the second time America had to fight for it's independence from the British, this book tells their story, as well as a wonderful romance and some political intrigue. Dark Sky at Dawn has a little something in it for everyone.

Entering the giveaway is easy, just follow the link above for more details!

The Spanish Witch by Anne Herries
http://bookywooks.blogspot.com/2010/07/forbidden-romance.html
"What a great fast-paced thrill for a lazy, rainy afternoon. Once I picked this book up I couldn't put it down until I had reached the heart stopping end.
Strictly speaking this book is classified as a romance novel, but in my opinion it should be shifted to the historical fiction pile. Yes there is romance, and it is cheek-reddening romance, but this book also has a rich dose of English history thrown in to make it a very entertaining, and very enthralling read."

Reviews:

"Grab a cozy chair, a hot cup of tea, and get ready for a journey you will never forget in FOREVER YOURS. This is one story that ranks high in powerful emotions." ~ Coffee Time Romance

"FOREVER YOURS is a romantic romp through Europe during World War II, continuing well after VE-Day. This is an action packed story from the battlefields to the bedroom, with a lot of romance, a lot of tension, sexual and otherwise. Definitely a page turner!" ~ Romancing the Pubs

"FOREVER YOURS is a touching romantic tale of two young people who discover true love in war torn Europe while heroically serving their country. Their story of love, loss and devotion tugs at the heart strings while engaging the reader in realities of war." ~ Fiction Vixen
