Charity Hopping Around the World Giveaway!


I've been wanting to do a blog hop for a while now but didn't want to get bogged down by too many to set up. However, this one really caught my eye and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.

What I'm giving away 
First book (US only) 2 winners:
(Thanks to Hachette Book Group)

When Alex falls for the charming new boy at school, Cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her -- she can't believe she's finally found her soul mate . . . someone who truly loves and understands her. 
At first, Alex is blissfully happy. Sure, Cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend Zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? As the months pass, though, Alex can no longer ignore Cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats. 
As Alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.
Domestic violence is an important subject. Little less known is when it happens in the teen years. So, I thought I'd giveaway a book that highlights this problem. My review is HERE.

For help, volunteering or donations for this cause here is the information online:

Second book I'm giving away (International -ebook any format)

Ghosts, vampires, demons, and more! Entangled includes ten suspense-filled paranormal short stories from authors Cynthia Eden, Jennifer Estep, Edie Ramer, Lori Brighton, Michelle Diener, Misty Evans, Nancy Haddock, Liz Kreger, Dale Mayer, and Michelle Miles, plus a Seven Deadly Sins novella by Allison Brennan.

Stacia Kane contributed the foreword. Formatting and cover art were also donated to the project by Lori Devoti and Laura Morrigan.

All proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Another great cause. I picked this one since all funds do go to charity! My review is HERE.  I enjoyed this anthology.


Yep, I've decided to go with just a couple of women's issues for this hop. I do think that even though it is mostly women who are highlighted here, I also think that men benefit from the knowledge gained with these issues. Not only does it help the women in their lives it helps them personally as well. Plus, men also do get breast cancer. I hope you find these issues worthy of a look and I hope you do have fun with this hop. Don't forget to go to the list to see what other goodies you can try for! Good luck! While you are here, don't forget to check out the giveaway by Dakota Banks! Go HERE to enter for that one too!


Giveaway is over! Thanks for participating!
