It's good news time: 4.5 stars from RT, Riva fever and a comp!

Having a little whoopee party today with three bits of coolio news.

First off, my July Harlequin Presents Extra release, The Good, the Bad and the Wild, has got a whopping 4.5 stars from Sabrina Madan at RT Book Reviews Magazine. Always a nice little boost to the ego when a reviewer enjoys your story. So I'm gonna share the love here:

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WILD (4.5) by Heidi Rice:
Eva Redmond, a “risk-averse academic,” and Nick Delisantro, a Hollywood scriptwriter, can’t resist indulging in an intoxicating night of passion. But Nick’s distress at discovering Eva was a virgin is nothing compared to his fury when he discovers her true motive for seeking him out. Nick believes his rebellious youth makes him unworthy of love, but his body can’t stop craving the sweetness of her touch. Can Eva persuade him that he really is a good man? Opposites attract as Rice takes readers on an emotional roller coaster in this funny yet passionate story.

Merci beaucoup Ms Madan, you made my day!

In another piece of exciting news my next book, One Night, So Pregnant - the story of freelance event planner Tess Tremaine and the fall-out from her one night of passion in a San Francisco closet with hot CEO Nate Graystone - has been given a November release date to coincide with the re-launch of Riva here in the UK in October (fingers crossed).

Can't wait to see the cover for this one, and as soon as I do I'll be posting a sneak peek on my website.

And last but not least, my lovely postman delivered a huge box of my Special Releases book P. S I'm Pregnant yesterday which is currently cluttering up my study...

So it's BOOK COMPETITION TIME again.

You have til Friday 1st June to send me the answer to this question at heidi@heidi-rice.com:

Q: Where do my two heroines, Daisy and Juno, in PS I'm Pregnant work?

(hint: check out the back blurb here)

And then I'll put names in a hat to give away two copies of the book.

Hooray for M&B Special Releases!!

Super excited to discover I have two  reprint anthologies coming out in June and July as Mills and Boon Special Releases here in the UK with wonderfully fun flirty covers and titles...

In June there's B.T.W. I Love You

No strings attached… No chance! 

Maddy Westmore is fed up of being Miss Fixit. This year will be different; no more Miss Nice Girl, no more Miss Pushover! She’s finally going to get what she wants. And, when it comes to relationships she’s going to try being the user! A hot fling with a gorgeous surfer – no problem. She’s going to leave her emotions at the door. 

Ruby Delisantro is the complete opposite! She’s feisty, challenging and always in-control. So, when Maddy’s brother, Callum Westmore - cynical but drop dead sexy - crashes his convertible into the back of her car on the busy streets of London she decides he owes her compensation…and she will decide how he pays it! That should wipe the smug, butter-wouldn’t-melt smile off his gorgeous face or so she thinks…

For those not in the know this is a compilation of my linked books Surf, Sea and a Sexy Stranger and Cupcakes and Killer Heels.

While in July we have, P.S. I'm Pregnant

This is a compilation of my two Brody Brothers books, Hot-Shot Tycoon, Indecent Proposal and Public Affair, Secretly Expecting, about two gorgeous (and exceptionally fertile!) Irish brothers - Notting Hill property developer Connor Brody and his Hollywood film star brother Cormac - and the two women who capture their wild Celtic hearts - Portobello Road market stall owner Daisy Dean and her tomboy best friend Juno Delamare.

I was so excited by this news in fact that I got my lovely web lady Heather at HR Web Concepts to update the Books page on my website with all the details. so if you want to read reviews, sneak peeks, etc, check it out!

I have no author copies as yet, but as soon as I do... It'll be Competition Time again here on my blog!!!
