Harlequin Historical Contest!
Happy Jane Austen Birthday, everyone! (Also, Beethoven's birthday. And my mom's, which reminds me I need to go buy her a present before this evening...) I'm so excited today is my day on the big Harlequin Historical Advent Calendar contest. First things first--go to my website and read the instructions for entering. Your comments here will put you in the running for the grand prize of a Kindle, as well as my own prize of a Cozy Winter Evening--cocoa, china mugs to drink it in, biscuits from my local British supply store, and a signed book! You can have your pick of any of the books on the sidebar of this blog, just let me know which you would like in the comments. (It can be either an Amanda or Laurel book. You can also "Like" my Facebook page, Amanda McCabe Books. And I have another contest going on this blog--just scroll down a couple of entries...)
Good luck, and thanks for visiting!

I really love most of the covers. I think my favorite would probably be Duchess of Sin or To Kiss a Count.
I would love Duchess of Sin- I've been looking forward to reading it.
the[dot]distant[dot]light[at]gmail[dot]com
I'm going to pick REGENCY CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS. Tis the season for that cover.
I like the cover for To Deceive a Duke. I would love to win High Seas Stowaway.

To Deceive a Duke has my cover vote!
I'd be happy to get any of your books, since I'm new to your books!
Definite fave is the Duchess of sin.. she looks so saucy!!!!! *blush* xxx
I love: To Court, Capture, and Conquer. Got to love a bit of heaving bosumyness!!
Hi!! I love Duchess of Sin and the 2 Undone cover's appeal to me to.
That's for being a part of this awesome contest!!
Thanks, Christine chirth7@yahoo.com
I like 'To Court, capture and Conquer', mainly because the blue dress is so beautiful!
pageturner345@gmail.com
I like To Catch a Rogue. but I like all of them, but this one looks a lot different than the rest to me. The people look more real and not just cover models. I like the look of it!
shundelt@yahoo.com
Some beautiful covers! To Catch a Rogue has a beautiful, subtle cover full of intrigue and romance. As I love the cover, I should also choose that one! Thanks & Merry Christmas! (email address on my google blogger profile)
I'm loving the cover to TO COURT, CAPTURE and CONQUER. It's very sexy and catches the eye.
the covers are gorgeous and I especially like the one for my choice The Winter Queen
I love the cover of The Winter Queen and this would be my choice of book if I were to win.
At this time of year I must go for The Winter Queen.
Kind regards

The covers are all very tempting. Although the heroine in To Deceive a Duke caught my eye!

Hi Amanda,
I really The Winter Queen book by Amamda, of course for your Harlequin Giveaway. I love all everything to do with Elizabeth I since wathching the Tudors on HBO. I'll definitely like you Facebook page. I really hope to get a chance to read one of your books.

Hello, Amanda! Happy Holidays : )
Gorgeous covers all, but I believe that I would like "To Deceive a Duke"!
Give your Mom a Happy Birthday hug : )
gcwhiskas at aol dot com
I think all the covers are pretty amazing, but my favorite is To Court, Capture and Conquer. The lady looks like she is a strong character on the cover.
skpetal at hotmail dot com
To Bed a Libertine is my favorite! It's the combination of fiery hair and green dress, I think. :)
Ideal cover would have to be "To Bed a Libertine." She's a red-head! Who doesn't love that!?
I think I might like to have "Improper Ladies" for my very own, should I win an autographed copy of anything.
I love the cover of Duchess of Sin. Can't wait to read it. I would like Regency Christmas Proposals. Merry Christmas.
I like the cover of COUNTESS OF SCANDAL and that is the book I'd like to win! Happy Holidays!
Meljprincess AT aol DOT com
Dear Amanda,
Oh, shame on me for being so bold as to address you thus. But then I'm ready for "A Sinful Alliance" if only you'll give the nod. After all, this is the Season for giving...
I don't need to look in the mirror to see the big bulge made by this person's tongue thrust in her cheek.
Season's Greetings and good cheer.
robynaldridge@bigpond.com
I love the cover for the Duchess of Sin. That red dress against her fair skin really pops. I would like to read thos one.

maynard625@yahoo.com
My favorite cover is Countess of Scandal. But.....High Seas Stowaway is a close second.
Thanks,

To Court, Capture and Conquer looks great, so that would be my pick! (Duchess of Sin is a gorgeous cover, too, though!)
Gorgeous cover: Duchess of Sin
Would love to win: Rogue Grooms
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I love all the covers and your books, too, Ammanda. Duchess of Sin is especially lovely. Happy Birthday Jane Austen!
Shipwrecked and Seduced. After all, there is a bare chest in the background.
Hello , my favourite cover is Duchess of Sin though they are all good )
I like Shipwrecked and Seduced
Kathy M

Hi Amanda! If I win, I'd love Duchess of Sin. I like the idea of a woman acting scandalously for her time, and I love books set in Ireland.
Thanks!
@KatrinaLatham
The Winter Queen is my favourite as it is perfect for the weather just now.
"Ideal cover would have to be "To Bed a Libertine." She's a red-head! Who doesn't love that!?"
LOL Doogie! When i first got that cover, my thought was "How can I steal her hair?" :)
Everyone is so busy with comments this morning! Yay!
I love the covers on your sidebar but I would say that my favorite is the one for "The Winter Queen".
Thanks for the contest!
junegirl63(at)gmail(dot)com
I really like any Christmas stories, Regency Christmas Proposals or Winter Queen are both good.
Good morning, Amanda,
I have always loved the cover of THE WINTER QUEEN. There is just something about it that struck me the first time I saw it. It is on my Wish List since I read the blur on it.
Thanks for participating in the Advent contest.
Hope you and yours have a great Holiday Season.
My favorite cover is The Winter Queen. Love the dress!
They're all pretty but I'd be most likely to pick up Regency Christmas Proposals :)

You have gorgeous covers. I like To Kiss a Count and Duchess of Sin best.
Crystal816[at]hotmail[dot}com
Improper Ladies because the review said that it contained a humerous look at Regency England. I think a sense of humor is important!
Hi I want to say Happy birthday to your mom!!
I will make a pick #10 In The Lairds Bed for what it's worth.
Hi Amanda,
All the covers are beautiful. The cover from the blog sidebar that is my favorite is Regency Christmas Proposals.Please enter me in the giveaway.Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. Happy Holidays.augustlily06(at)aim(dot)com.
My favorite cover is the cover to Christmas Proposals. I love the Christmas tree in the background with the color of her dress. I think they make a very striking couple, both of them with their beautiful dark hair!
jv_ky (at) bellsouth (dot) net.
I love the Improper Ladies cover and I'd love to win To Decieve a Duke. Thanks for the great contest!

Thank you!

I was originally torn between Dutchess of Sin and Countess of Scandal...but The Winter Queen is so festive and beautiful,I couldn't resist!
jimsgrl@optonline.net
Definitely Duchess of Sin - I have this book, and the cover is just gorgeous with the red dress.
I love all your books but the cover of Countess of Scandal caught my attention as soon as I saw it and I loved the story! Not only the cover but also the story was an "award winner".
I love your regency covers as well but really feel the "Countess" cover was perfect for the story.
jeannemiro@yahoo.com
I think my favorite cover was Duchess of Sin, although I do love the cover for To Decieve a Duke.
For my book choice I'm going with Improper Ladies. :) It sounds great and I've read most of the others already! LOL
My favorite is Regency Christmas Proposals; love the cover.

ooops forgot my email
kimnrob7 at hotmail dot com
I like To Court, Capture & Conquer.
All of them are great, but I especially love The Winter Queen. The way the cover is designed, she appears to be on the outside looking in (with a touch of wistfulness).
My previous post should have said Regency Christmas Proposals!
jv_ky (at) bellsouth (dot) net
Improper Ladies is my favorite -- I love the green dress.
My pick is To Deceive a Duke. It is a lovely cover.
Hiya,
I think To Deceive a Duke looks great but then so do all your covers!! :)
Merry Christmas
natz101@hotmail.com
I love all your covers and it is hard to pick a favorite. That being said, I do like To Court, Capture, and Conquer because of the blue color of her dress! But I also like To Kiss a Count and Countess of Scandal.
Happy Jane Austen Birthday to you also.
And Merry Christmas to you and yours
All ofyour covers look delightful, but To Deceive a Duke is my favorite! I can't wait to pick up a copy for Christmas!
All of your covers are lovely, but I especially love the ones for the Daughters of Erin series!
I would love to win a copy of Rogue Grooms, as it is one of the few of yours that I don't already have.
LOVED Regency Christmas Proposals, by the way!
Undone! is my favorite with Duchess of Sin as a close second.
have a happy and safe holiday!
acm05atjuno.com
All the covers are fantastic!! If I had to pick one it would be Countess of Scandal-I like the purple gown and the way the picture zeroes in on the dress. The background accents the gown.
If I win I would also pick the same book-Countess of Scandal.

Hi Amanda,
My favourite cover is the "Dutchess of Sin" and it is also the book I would love to have. I have been looking forward to reading it!

Thank you for being a participant in this wonderful contest.

I like "To Court, Capture and Conquer". Thanks for being a part of this contest, it's been fun!

Undone! To Court, Capture, and Conquer is my favorite.
Hi Amanda,
I would love to have Duchess of Sin, I just love the cover of this book, beautiful. I love beautiful covers and I can't help myself. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
lead[at]hotsheet[dot]com
Ok, so the rules to enter say "let her know which cover from the blog sidebar is your favorite," so as my entry my fav cover is Scandalous Brides. Not even sure why per say (she's not even wearing a blue dress, my fav color), but that is my fav cover of the one's on the side bar.
As for one I would like to win, well, To Deceive A Duke looks like it might be fun.
Thanks for the contest and Happy Holidays!
vickykerr[at]sbcglobal.net
All the covers are gorgeous but my favorite is Countess of Scandal simply because I love the color purple
I love the cover for REGENCY CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS. I just read this book, and I loved it!
Thanks for a chance to win one of your books. I would like any of the following: IMPROPER LADIES, ROGUE GROOMS, or SCANDALOUS BRIDES.
castings at mindspring dot com
Hello Amanda,
I love all the covers...each one is almost equally enticing; and would enjoy reading any of your books; but I really would like to win either Improper Ladies or the Winter Queen.
Thanks,
Teresa (AT) LadySilk (DOT) Net
The newest one "Duchess of Sin" is my favorite.
I like the cover for the Christmas Proposal, it reminds me of Mr. Darcy.
All of the books look great but The Winter Queen is the one that caught my eye.
Thanks for mentioning it's your mom's birthday. It reminded me that today is my mom's birthday too.
secret_gurl69(at)hotmail.com
Lots of lovely covers, but I think I like Duchess of Sin best. It's the most evocative, to me. :) But they're all lovely.
My favorite cover is To Court, Capture and Conquer. I would like to win it as well.
marlenebreakfield(at)yahoo(dot)com
SCANDAL IN VENICE is a pretty cover.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
teamstefan@live.com
Hi Amanda,
I was going to say that I've never read any of your books but then I looked at your list on your website and realized that I had read some of you signet releases. That was when I was still devouring Regency Romances. I overdosed on them and stopped reading historicals of any kind for a while.
I love the cover of The Snow Queen and Queen Elizabeth's court sounds interesting.
I like "To Court, Capture and Conquer" or "Regency Christmas Proposals." I really like Christmas stories, and I will check out some of your books. They look intriguing-Venice,India? Sounds luscious.
Lil Gluckstern lilhmb@sbcglobal.net
I would love the cover of To Court, Capture and Conquer.
audie@wickerness.com
I like so many of them, but I think Duchess of Sin is my favorite.
Hi Amanda,
I would love Duchess Of Sin. This is one of your books I don't have yet.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I was really wowed by the cover of "The Winter Queen". I would love to win this book.
I like the cover for Shipwrecked and Seduced. I would love to win a copy of A Sinful Alliance.
mizztuts AT bellsouth DOT net
This was a hard decision...there are too many to choose from! Since I can only pick one that is my favorite, I will have to say Duchess of Sin.
cbandy10(at)hotmail(dot)com
All of the covers are wonderful. I'd have to say that the Duchess of Sin caught my eye the most.

Hi Amanda,
My favorite cover is Rogue Grooms. Happy Holidays!
Jgal
I like the cover to REGENCY CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS. So sweet!
I'd have to say I like "Regency Christmas Proposals." All your covers are beautiful, but I tend to prefer a whole representation of the head. There was a trend toward headless cowboys, regency ladies, and medieval heroes that was vaguely disturbing... :)
I like Regency Christmas Proposals best, it's purty!
My favorite cover is Duchess of Sin.
I really like the cover of To Court, Capture, and Conquer.
Hi Amanda,
I liked "To Catch a Rogue's" cover the best 'cause I like to look at the men! ;)
I would love to have the Winter Queen or any of your books.
Feliz Navidad,
Sixpixies2000 at yahoo dot com
You have some beautiful book covers. My favorite is The Winter Queen. (Email in profile.)
To Court Capture and Conquer is my fav cover. Love the way he is looking down at her. My choice of book when I win is Duchess of Sin, it sounds really good. Can't wait to read it. LOL
I have been a fan of yours for awhile now and always look forward to new stories from you.
All of your covers are beautiful and it was very hard to decide. My favorites were To Bed A Libertine, Regency Christmas Proposals, and Duchess of Sin.
If I win, I would love to have Duchess of Sin.
Happy Birthday to your mom.
Happy Holidays everyone!
To Deceive a Duke is my vote :)
OOoh, They're all lovely, but I just LOVE the Duchess of Sin cover!! There's something very sensual and seductive about it!
Thank you!!
The cover for Duchess of Sin is gorgeous! I would love to read it.
I love the cover for Duchess of Sin...what a great title! I would love to read it or The Winter Queen.
Suzanne

Regency Christmas Proposals is the one that catches my eye the most, but there are some lovely ones to choose from!
Happy holidays!
Hi Amanda,
I have to say I love most of your covers - you really are lucky to have so many great ones! I think my favorite is The Winter Queen; it's mysterious, romantic and a little bit sexy, but also simple. Looking forward to picking it up next time I'm in the bookstore!
Very interesting blog. If I win I would love to read Duchess of Sin
All of the covers are beautiful but my favorite is "Countess of Scandal" - purple is my favorite color and her dress is just gorgeous!
smaccall @ comcast.net
I'm going to pick To Kiss A Count.
My favorite cover is the one of Regency Christmas proposal. It reflects the subject matter in a clear manner, it is attractive in terms of the positioning of the characters within the given space and of the colors.
catalina(underscore)khalaj(at)yahoo(dot)com
The Duchess of Sin is my favorite. She's ready for sin no matter from which direction it comes! The Winter Queen is a close second, though. So beautiful!
All the covers are great, I guess I like "The Winter Queen" the best.
My vote is for "Deceive a Duke"
I would be happy to receive any book as I am new to them all.
The Duchess of Sin has a clean, modern look, sensual yet tasteful. It stands out from the costume-shop and heaving-bosom covers that have, in my opinion, characterized historical romances for far too long. Uncluttered covers exhibiting some originality and design sense invariably draw my attention; the same old suffocating bolts of musty-smelling fabric, phalanxes of candelabra, and posturing heroes do not. Covers in the latter group all run together for me, and not in a good way. They have the same level of ham-handed, unimaginative ugly.
Sorry for my bluntness! :) Happy Holidays, Amanda.
To Deceive a Duke gets my vote.
chey127 at hotmail dot com
My favorite cover is Duchess of Sin and would also be the one I would like to win.
I like the cover of "Countess of Scandal." I really like the purple. I would love to win a copy of "To Deceive a Duke."
janie1215 AT excite DOT com
I love the Duchess of Sin cover, especially the red dress and the mistletoe. Though honestly, all the covers are lovely.
Karen Dobbins
krdobbins@comcast.net
i like REGENCY CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS, just appeals to me most at this moment.
Thanks for being a part of this contest! I'd love to win the prize you're giving away and think it's perfect for these chilly winter nights. The book I'd like is To Bed a Libertine for the empowering cover. It's straight-forward and gives a artsy/historical impression.
joderjo402 AT gmail DOT com
thank you so much for being a part of the Harlequin Historical Contest! It is very generous of you.
my favorite covers are these three:
Duchess of Sin - love the red dress
To Love a Libertine - love the hair and dress
The Maid's Lover - because even lowly maids deserve a HEA!

I like the cover of Shipwrecked and Seduced.
My personal favourite is the Duchess of Sin, the cover definately goes so well with the title.
The Duchess of Sin
I have to pick Regency Christmas Proposals.Love that cover.I'm new to your books so any one would be great.
I like the cover of REGENCY CHRISTMAS PROPOSALS the best.
All the covers are lovely but my favorite is "Regency Christmas Proposals" for the tender look on the hero's face. I also love "Shipwrecked and Seduced" for Paul Marron, my favorite cover model.
ironss[at]gmail.com
I really like To Catch a Rogue. After all who wouldn't want to catch a rogue, I know I would!!lol Happy Holidays to all!
Among the covers on your side bar, my favorite is between Duchess of Sin, Regency Christmas Proposals and Countess of Scandals. They are appeal to me, and very hard for me to choose!
I like the cover of Duchess of Sin. It looks like she knows something that the person with her doesn't.
Ooh, how fun, Lauren! I'd love Duchess of Sin, if so fortunate!
f dot chen at comcast dot net
Sorry, to continue, I love the arrangement of the cover, and color of her gown is eyecatching! Thank you!
f dot chen at comcast dot net
My favorite cover is the one for Regency Christmas Proposals. The one for the Winter Queen is gorgeous as well. It was hard to choose just one. Thanks for the giveaway.
cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com
They all have great covers. I will pick Regency Christmas Proposals because I love holiday stories.
seriousreader at live dot com
You have some nice covers but I would pick Duchess of Sin as my favorite.

The Duchess of sin would be myfavorite cover.
debby236 at att dot net
My favorite cover would be the Winter Queen.
Favorite cover: To Court, Capture, and Conquer. I love the couple and what a gorgeous dress!
And that is what I would like to read as well.
Hi Amanda - I wasn't sure if I would have a chance to get on here tonight. All the covers are great, but I think I would have to say that Rogue Grooms would have to be my favorite.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all.
Hi Amanda. Of all the covers, Snow Queen stands out to me for the richness of the clothing coupled with the mystery of what is just out of frame. It is my hands down favorite cover.
If I am the randomly selected winner I would love to read Regency Christmas Proposals. If I don't win, I'll be headed to the bookstore to buy it so I'm still very glad you brought us to your site!
Thank you
My favorite cover is To Catch a Rogue because the couple looks like they have real chemistry. I also like Duchess of Sin because she looks mysterious and alluring. I would like to win To Catch a Rogue because it captured my attention :)
My favourite cover is the Winter Queen.

Hi Amanda! I keep going to your site to find instructions from the blog post and click but sends me back to go to the blog here. So I'm not sure where the instructions are at your site? Happy B'day to Jane Austen too! I'd love to play for COUNTESS OF SCANDAL! I just saw the cover for The Shy Duchess and its just beautiful!

Hello
All the covers are wonderful but I have to say:
High Seas Stowaway
Truely a romance cover.I love all of them.Happy Holidays!!!
I like the cover of Improper Ladies the best because it's very sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic and the colors are gorgeous.
hrbeck_98 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Hi Amanda,
I am so glad to have entered the advent contest. I think all your covers are beautiful. However, I think the one that caught my attention the most was the Countess of Scandal. The colors are so vibrant and also she almost looks life like.
The two other favorites that jumped out at me was, Improper Ladies, and High Seas Stowaway. There almost seem like there jumping off the page. Happy Christmas.
The Maid's Lover
Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<

The Winter Queen as it does not look too modern for an historical novel.
My favorite cover is Duchess of Sin, with the Winter Queen a close second! Actually i love all the covers! thank you for the contest!!
inthehammockblog at gmail dot com
Pretty sure my favorite cover is Improper Ladies. :)
I prefer Cover #6 because who doesn't want to be swept off their feet by a gorgeous, studly man. LOL
