Caridad Pineiro is pleased to announce that her December 2008 release, SOLDIER’S SECRET CHILD, was a Harlequin Top 10 “Giving” book in November. Also, it received 4 Stars from Romantic Times and
4.5 Stars from Cataromance who said SOLDIER’S SECRET CHILD was “(i)ntriguingly suspenseful plus overflowing with conflicting emotions, SOLDIER’S SECRET CHILD is poignantly compelling.”
In addition, copies of Caridad’s novella DESIRE CALLS from the popular THE CALLING Vampire series were released as free samplers to students at colleges and universities throughout the United States as a promotion for Harlequin’s Nocturne line.
Why didn’t they give away free romance novels when I was in college? That would have made school so much more fun…though I would have paid attention less. Who needs math when you can read about true love. *wink*
LOL, Ally! It certainly would have been more fun! I remember downing romance novels in between reading all my bio course books. Kept me sane during college.
Thanks for commenting!
