The Love Bites Reading Challenge

Whether your preference is vamps, weres or something more exotic - here's a challenge for all you paranormal/urban fantasy lovers!

All you need to do is read three paranormals with a romantic theme between 1st April and 30th June 2009.

That's it! No other rules. You can cross this over with another challenge and change your mind on the books you'd like to read halfway through if you like.

To sign up, please post a comment here with your name, blog address (if applicable) and the first book you intend to read. We recommend signing up to follow both Royal Reviews and The Love Bites Reading Challenge Blog to keep up to date with news and reviews for the duration of the challenge. You could even follow us publicly if you want to show the love :-)

You are encouraged to contribute your reviews to The Love Bites Reading Challenge Blog. All you need to do is send your name, blog and email address to and I'll give you permission to post to the blog. We ask that reviews are a minimum of three paragraphs and rate from 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest). You are also more than welcome to link to your own blog on your review. For the sake of consistency, please do not take offence if the layout of your review is formatted to fit the blog design - we assure you that none of your words will be edited.

Feel free to add one of the below challenge buttons to your blog and link to Royal Reviews:

Like Marg, I can't resist the very cute vampire button and if I'm reading the books anyway they may as well fit a challenge:-)

My first read will be
Forbidden Magic by Cheyenne McCray

Book Dragon said...

All three books have been read! Too bad I've only reviewed one. Bonds of the Maleri'

My MIL and several nieces/nephews have my blog address so what my review doesn't say, but is important for you to know is "erotica" and "m/m"

Otherwise it's a fantastic romp.

Are you going to be starting this challenge again after the 30th? I just found this. I have read the twilight books but I am just starting the Sookie Stackhouse books. I would love to participate in this if you do it again. Please let me know.

Alaine said...

Hi Trish, we will be run this competition again at the beginning of 2010.
