A little escape (freebie alert)

I have a confession to make. I love romance novels. There is something about romance and love that makes me smile and just helps me to relax from the stresses of life. Having said that I love romance novels, I think I need to clarify something. I do NOT like to read about a steamy sex life, nope I would rather leave that to the imagination (and the bedroom). So what is a girl to do? I want romance without the steamy stuff (steamy kissing is all good though =)).

About five years ago I discovered an author that provided just what I was looking for! Romance and lots of kissing, but no steamy scenes that make me blush! Marcia Lynn McClure writes mostly historical novels(my favorites are her cowboy books!) but she has written a few modern day novels and ebooks (you gotta read Kissing Cousins!). Her books are such a fun escape. Filled with romance and suspense (mostly wondering if they will REALLY end up together), each of her books offers a couple hours of escape from a crazy world.

To top it all off, Marcia (pronounced Mar-see-uh NOT Marsha) has to be one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. She hosts a meet and greet here in Utah in the summers and I have been able to attend twice. She takes the time to chat with everyone there and is so sweet. And just to prove how nice she is, if you sign up to receive her newsletter (don't worry, you won't start receiving a ton of mail from her, just monthly (and occasionally more often) updates on her current projects) you can recieve a free download of her ebook The Rogue Knight (and $8.95 value)! Yep, you get to try one for free! My guess is that once you read one of her books, you will be hooked. Luckily, she offers all of her books and ebooks (for those of you who just can't wait and have to have more Marcia NOW!) for sale right on her website! Her newest book A Crimson Frost is available for pre-order right now. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my copy.

So..why are you still reading this...haven't you headed over to Marcia's website to request your free ebook yet! Go....NOW =)
