    Wow! This list is quite impressive! I’d love to read A Worthy Rebel by Jody Hedlund. Thank you for the chance! 🙂

  2. I’d love to read most of them, because I’ve already read a few of them! They all look so good, can’t decide! The ones I read were great!

  3. Thank you for the chance to win!! Some of these are new to me, but others I’ve read previous books by! Lynette Eason and Irene Hannon are two of my favorites! I especially love Irene Hannon’s Hope Harbor series!!

  4. Perrianne Askew

    It’s a very impressive list and I have read a few. It’s difficult to choose, but I think I would get The Plum Blooms in Winter or Where Hope Begins I have read: The Hidden Side, Across the Blue, The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond (my fave), Engraved in the Heart (a close second fave), The Back Country Brides, and The Saturday Night Supper Club, I know that Mind Games is on my TBR list.

  5. Connie J Randel

    I would like to read MissTaken Identity from The MissAdventure Brides Collection by Kimberley Woodhouse. I have read most of the books, and I am trying to finish out reading all of the finalists.

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

  6. Such an awesome list! Really hard to choose, but I think I’d like to read The Reckoning at Gossamar Pond.

  7. Paula Shreckhise

    I have several and have yet to read some of them. I would probably choose Irene Hannon. I need to catch up with her books.
    There are some excellent books here! The Plum Blooms in Winter, The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond and Mind Games are three favorites.

  8. I’ve read several of these and loved them. I’ve heard good things about The Plum Blooms in Winter by Linda Thompson so I’d love to read that one!

  9. I’ve read a few of these and added a few more to my TBR list, but the one that catches my eye the most is Where Hope Begins. Thanks for the chance to win.
