Give Me Reason - Want an ARC?

So, I've been toying around with an idea in my head all week about how to give away some Advance Reader Copies of Give Me Reason to those outside of the Blogger/Reviewer community and I'm having a hard time deciding on how to go about it.

So rather than run a Rafflecopter for an ARC, I thought of another way to go about giving away some free copies.

Now, my idea, as an Author, about giving away Free Copies, is getting something in return. What is that something? Well, there are three somethings really.

1. That You Read It

2. That You Review It

and

3. That you spread the word to your friends about how much you liked it. (assuming that you do.)

So here is what I'm thinking... 

If you've read and review Finding Love's Wings on either Amazon or Barnes & Noble, I'd like to give you a FREE Copy of Give Me Reason on the assumption that you will
A. Read It.
B. Review It
C. If you enjoy it - Spread the Word.

How do you get your copy?

1. Grab a copy of Finding Love's Wings ONLY $1.99 across all sites until 09/02/2013

AmazonUS, AmazonUK, AmazonCA, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords

2. Read Finding Love's Wings

3. Review Finding Love's Wings and post your Review to Amazon or Barnes & Noble. (Goodreads is optional - But your review must also be posted to either Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

4. You must send an email to zoeyssidekick [at] gmail [dot] com that includes a link to your Amazon or Barnes & Noble Review and whether you want a Mobi (Amazon), epub (B&N or iTunes) or PDF Version of Give Me Reason.
*In order to receive an ARC, you will need to read and review Finding Love's Wings prior to September 23rd.*Once Give Me Reason is released, I will continue to give out FREE Copies until 100 have been sent out.*

When will you get your ARC?

ARC's will be available on September 15th and be sent via email by September 17th.

If you receive an ARC, all I ask is for your honest opinion in a review on either Amazon or Barnes & Noble once it becomes live on Release Day (To be announced 9/3/2013) or as soon as you're done up to October 31st, 2013 - see the next section as to why 10/31/13 is your cut off.

This is a snowball effect.. 

Read & Review Finding Love's Wings - Get an ARC of Give Me Reason - Once you've posted your Give Me Reason review - email Zoey's Sidekick and you will be added to the list of ARC's for Give Me Hope The Reason Series Book 2 and Repeat until you have all 4 Books in The Reason Series.

But Zoey, I've already Reviewed Finding Love's Wings...

No problem - Same rules apply, locate your Amazon or Barnes & Noble review and email me the link and you will be added to the list of ARC's to go out.

What if I don't like Finding Love's Wings or Give Me Reason? 

As I know all to well, my books do not please everyone. However, I would still like you to review my book, constructively. What I mean by that is - Why didn't you like my story? Give me feedback on what you didn't like about it.

If I don't like Finding Love's Wings, will I still get Give Me Reason? 

If Finding Love's Wings is not something you're interested in, but you still want to give Give Me Reason a try, then yes, I will happily provide you with an ARC for you to read and review for your honest opinion.
If you do not like Give Me Reason or if at any time you write a review that is bashing or just downright mean, I will respectfully decline sending future ARC's to you. Now this does, in no way mean that I do not want your honest opinion, because I do, I would just like you to do it constructively so that I, as an Author, can learn and grow from your feedback.
If at anytime you do not want to continue with the series, all you need to do is stop emailing my Sidekick and you will not be added to the list for the next book.

If you have any questions about this giveaway, please do not hesitate to email zoeyssidekick [at] gmail [dot] com and we will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Comments to this blog containing email addresses will be deleted, please make sure you send an email to zoeyssidekick [at] gmail [dot] com to be added to the list of ARC's to be sent out.

The Fade Series by Kate Dawes

15 of 15 Stars to Kate Dawes and her Fade Series....

Here is a copy of my Goodreads review.

I am going to try really hard to not spoil all three books, however, both of the times I have read the Fade Series I have plowed through all 3 books in one night. Why? Well, because I cannot put them down.


I was very quick to fall in love with Olivia and even faster to fall in love with Max. But then again, I am sucker for the hot rich and sexy man that everyone wants. One of the reasons that drew me into these books was not just the exciting sex scenes, but the banter between Max and Olivia. There is something special about a relationship that can pick and play with each other in the ways that Max and Olivia did throughout all three books. A relationship like this shows comfort and a growing relationship.

So many of these book with heroines with self esteem issues get old after a while. Olivia was no different, only that she was concerned with a broken heart than with whether or not she deserved to be with Max. She never really questioned his motivations and whether or not she deserved him. She just accepted what he had to offer her. That to me made these books special and realistic. The story between Max and Olivia is real, its something that happens everyday. Something that gives us hopeless romantics something to strive for and hope that true love is real and obtainable.

Because I am a hopeless romantic I couldn't put down the books and was turned on by hot and steamy sex scenes, I give Fade Into You, Fade Into Me, and Fade Into Always Five (5) Fabulous stars!
