WE GET READERS HOOKED ON YOUR BOOK

To enter, readers must answer specific questions about YOUR book, and they'll find the answers in your excerpt.

In other words, readers MUST read your excerpt in order to enter the contest (this helps to hook readers on your book:)).

MORE READERS,
MORE PRIZES!

Last year we had thousands of entries from readers hoping to win 1 of 2 prizes. Since then, our site traffic has grown by over 40% (we're getting more than 180,000 visitors per month).

THIS YEAR we're giving away 8 weekly prizes PLUS 2 grand prizes!

4 weekly prizes per event! 1 grand prize per event!
(retail value of all prizes for both events is approximately $600.00!)

This means more prizes and more readers reading about your book!

2nd excerpt that you consider the most romantic scene in your book (remember, we're focusing on *romance*, so this scene cannot be a love scene. It can be the hero or heroine's thoughts about each other -internal dialogue- or a hero proposing or a heroine realizing she loves the hero or professing her love at last to the hero, or either character sacrificing something for the good of the other, etc.).

This scene should make a reader's heart swell, or bring a tear to her eye, and make her sigh because it's so romantic (while NOT giving away your HEA ending!). While the hero and heroine can kiss and touch during this scene, they cannot actually have sex, because we want to showcase "romance". If you send this optional 2nd excerpt, it will be linked to from your main excerpt ("Now read a romantic scene from *book title*").

2nd excerpt that you consider the most romantic scene in your book. Because the EROTIC LOVE & CHOCOLATE event is targeting erotica/romantica readers, your "romantic scene" may include a love scene. HOWEVER, the scene must PRIMARILY focus on the "romance" aspect, and the actual "sex" aspect needs to be secondary (besides you don't want to give away all the good stuff in a free excerpt:))

It can be the hero or heroine's thoughts about each other -internal dialogue- or a hero proposing or a heroine realizing she loves the hero or professing her love at last to the hero, or either character sacrificing something for the good of the other, etc.). This scene should make a reader's heart swell, or bring a tear to her eye, and make her sigh because it's so romantic (while NOT giving away your HEA ending!). If you send this optional 2nd excerpt, it will be linked to from your main excerpt ("Now read a romantic scene from *book title*").
