Sherry Thomas Book Celebration and ARC Giveaway (Contest Closed)
Since Sherry Thomas first burst onto the scene in 2008 her reputation has grown as one of the most literate and lush writers of romance.
Now, after a wait of two years (during which Sherry switched publishers), readers are about to delight in a new book by the author when Beguiling the Beauty, the first in the author’s new Fitzhugh series, is released tomorrow. Here’s a plot description:
When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated. She’s exactly what he’s been searching for—a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast—and soon proposes marriage.
And then she disappears without a trace…
For in reality, the “baroness” is Venetia Easterbrook—a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised—and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…
Sherry is celebrating her new release by giving AAR readers the chance to win one of five ARCs of Ravishing the Heiress, the second in the Fitzhugh series, to be released on July 3. Want a tease?
Millicent understands the terms of her arranged marriage all too well. She gets to be a Countess by marrying an impoverished Earl. And in return, the Earl Fitzhugh receives the benefit of her vast wealth, saving his family from bankruptcy. Because of her youth, they have agreed to wait eight years before consummating the marriage—and then, only to beget an heir. After which, they will lead separate lives.
It is a most sensible arrangement. Except for one little thing. Somehow Millie has fallen head over heels in love with her husband. Her husband, who has become her very best friend, but nothing more… Her husband, who plans to reunite with his childhood sweetheart, the beautiful and newly widowed Isabelle, as soon as he has honored the pact with his wife…
As the hour they truly become husband-and-wife draws near, both Millie and Fitzhugh must face the truth in their hearts. Has their pact bred only a great friendship—or has it, without either of them quite noticing, given rise to a great love?

I would love to win this book! Have been wanting to read Ravishing the Heiress since I read the excerpt on Sherry Thomas’s website awhile ago!

i’ve been waiting for a new Sherry Thomas’ book since last year! i’m so glad that 3 are coming out this year! =D i can’t wait for Ravishing the Heiress!

I love all of Sherry Thomas’ books and hated the long dry spell, now ended. Would love to win.
I’m so excited for these three new Sherry Thomas books! I can’t wait to read Ravishing the Heiress.
I couldn’t put down Beguiling the Beauty and look forward to what Sherry has in store for Fitz and Millie!
I just finished reading Beguiling the Beauty, it was supposed to be a quick pre-dinner bit of light reading, but 3hrs later my tummy is hungry and I am going to have a hard time getting up in time to go to work (only consolation – thank god I didnt start reading the book post-dinner). Fingers crossed win an ARC as dying to continue with Millie’s story. Thanks to AAR for the opportunity to win :)
I mistakenly thought that Ravishing the Heiress’ lease date was June instead of July. I cried a little on the inside when I realized my error, although I am thrilled with Sherry’s publishing schedule this year. That being said, the anticipation is still grueling! I would love a chance to win her upcoming book!
Love Sherry Thomas’s books, especially Not Quite a Husband. Loved the locale — nice to have a romance not set in the high society of the UK..
I adore Sherry Thomas books! I have all of her books!
Just finished Beguiling the Baeuty and it is my favourite Sherry Thomas so far. I’ve liked the others I read well enough, but there was always something that didn’t quite work for me. BtB though, hit all of my buttons and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series!
Oh, how I would love to win and not have to wait until July 3rd. Sherry is so incredibly talented. I have owned all of her books from the beginning.
I would love to win a Sherry Thomas book!
Beguiling the Baeuty sounds like a great book. I can’t wait to read it! best wishes, Irene
I’m definitely looking forward to reading these. Sherry Thomas’ books are lovely c:

Oh I’ve been so looking forward to the release of “”Ravishing the Heiress”” so much! It would totally make my summer if I get this. *pray to Internet God and God of Chance*
Sherry has been my favorite author since I read her 1st book, Private Arrangements. I would adore winning a copy of Ravishing the Heiress.
I love Sherry Thomas’s works! I absolutely can’t wait for both books to be released especially Ravishing the Heiress! :D

Fantastic author! Can’t wait for the series!

One of my favorite authors! Would LOVE to win!!
I love Sherry Thomas. Her prose is both lovely and heartbreaking. Two years is a long time to wait, but I’m really excited about this new series.
Sherry Thomas is amazing! thanks so much for offering this giveaway. I’m halfway through beguiling the beast now, and would be finished if it weren’t for the pesky day job.
I liked Beguiling the Beauty, but in reading the characters from this book and reading the excerpt, I am looking forward to this one even more.
His at Night is my favorite of Sherry Thomas’s books–the prose is beautiful–but I think just from reading the excerpt on her website that Ravishing the Heiress might take HaN’s place :)
I hope that your new series does well. I have read and loved all of your books. The new one is on its way to me today. Hope I win the ARC.
kudos Sherry to all your success!
