Kresley Cole Special Giveaway: 20 Copies of Pleasure of a Dark Prince

Posted on March 6, 2010

We have a very special giveaway today. To celebrate the recent release of Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole, the newest in her Immortal After Dark series, we are proud to announce that Simon and Schuster are giving away TWENTY copies of the novel especially to our readers!

Here is the rundown.

THE BOOK:

Pleasure of a Dark Prince

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication Date: February 2010
Mass Market Paperback: 448 pages

Stand alone or series: Installment 9 in the Immortals After Dark series

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole enraptures again with this seductive tale of a fierce werewolf prince who will stop at nothing to protect the lovely archer he covets from afar.

A DANGEROUS BEAUTY…

Lucia the Huntress: as mysterious as she is exquisite, she harbors secrets that threaten to destroy her — and those she loves.

AN UNCONTROLLABLE NEED…

Garreth MacRieve, Prince of the Lykae: the brutal Highland warrior who burns to finally claim this maddeningly sensual creature as his own.

THAT LEAD TO A PLEASURE SO WICKED….

From the shadows, Garreth has long watched over Lucia. Now, the only way to keep the proud huntress safe from harm is to convince her to accept him as her guardian. To do this, Garreth will ruthlessly exploit Lucia’s greatest weakness — her wanton desire for him.

THE AUTHOR:

Before becoming a writer, Kresley Cole was a world-ranked athlete and Master’s grad. Since her first novel was published in 2003, she has sold a total of fifteen books and two novellas in two different subgenres, and has seen her releases translated into ten foreign languages.

    Hey there,
    Kresley is a new author for me…I haven’t as yet read any of her work. I would love the chance to try out one of her books. I’m a huge fan of paranormal romances and this book looks like a great read. 🙂

    cool! I just started this series 2 nights ago! So my favorite so far is “A Hunger Like No Other”. Loved the prequel short too 🙂

    Awesome contest. My favorite IAD book is actually the starting novella, The Warlord Wants Forever. I love the rest of the series, but that novella is amazing!

    I have yet to read one of these books, but this one looks great. I love Paranormal romance. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  • Tricia P.

    This is a great series and my favorite full-length book in it is A Hunger Like No Other. The novella prequel is probably still my favorite story in the series though. Great contest!

  • KayAnna Kirby

    I’ve heard loads about Kresley Cole but haven’t had the opportnity to read any of her books as yet. I would love to start with book 1 of the immortals after dark series.

    What a great contest ! I do not have yet the opportunity to read one of Kresley’s Cole books. I must say I will be interested to begin with the “Dark Prince” :mrgreen: Always had a fascination for werewolves !

  • Mariska

    Hi Kresley,
    I haven’t read any of your books, coz you are a new for me Author.

    But I’m dying to have one of the series !! pick me !

  • Anna
    March 6, 2010 at 3:26 am

    My favorite book is A Hunger Like No Other! Lachlain and Emma’s story is so touching and smexy. I re-read this book every year and every single time I’m on cloud nine after reading it. 😀

  • maered
    March 6, 2010 at 3:27 am

    I love this author! My favourite was the Conrad and Naomi book. The vampire and the ghost made a great unusual romance. And Nix rules all, of course!

    Count me in on the contest, please!

    I’ve only read a few instalments of the series, and I think I likes No Rest For the Wicked better than A Hunger Like No Other. It would be really cool to win a copy!

  • Alison Tripp
    March 6, 2010 at 5:17 am

    I have not read any of them but would like to make Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole my first 🙂

  • Carol Thompson
    March 6, 2010 at 6:20 am

    I just haven’t got around to reading any of the Immortals After Dark books. MY TBR pile is just too big !

    But I have read a number of goo reviews on them and have them on my wishlist.

    This would be my opportunity to try them and as you do say open to all, please note that I am an International entry !

    Thanks

    Hmm, I’d say “A hunger like no other” would be my favoured, if only because I’m sooo in luv with the cover artwork for that one.

  • Linda Henderson
    March 6, 2010 at 6:35 am

    She is a new author for me, but I have heard such wonderful things about her books that I would love to read this one.

  • Christie I
    March 6, 2010 at 6:53 am

    I haven’t read her books but they’re at the top of my TBR list.

  • Ashley C
    March 6, 2010 at 6:56 am

    “Dark Needs at Night’s Edge” was my favorite book in the series. The character and relationship development was FANTASTIC!
    I would love to get a copy of her newest book! 😀

  • Jen D.
    March 6, 2010 at 7:07 am

    Thanks for the great giveaway.

    I’ve read great stuff about this series but haven’t had the chance to read it.

  • Maria
    March 6, 2010 at 7:09 am

    I don’t know if my comment qualifies because of those time differences, etc. but I just wanted to say that my favourite book was Kiss of a Demon King – I loved the chemistry between Rydstrom and Sabine (sp?), the fact that Sabine wasn’t a good girl and that he was the more “up-tight” one, if that makes any sense. She managed to turn the tables on him more than once, and I liked that, seemed a bit different at the time. I hope Cole writes more heroines like that, not that I mind the Emmas and the Hollys or similar, lol. 😈

  • Alex
    March 6, 2010 at 7:29 am

    My favorite is Kiss of a Demon King! :mrgreen:

  • Amanda Isabel
    March 6, 2010 at 7:51 am

    Unfortunately I have only thus far read the first three, “Wicked Deeds on a Winter Night” – but Highland Werewolves? Let me in! 😀
    Thanks! 😀

  • Bonnie Ferguson
    March 6, 2010 at 7:59 am

    Of the four I’ve read so far, all of which totally rocked, I’d have to give the edge to Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night. 😈

  • Monica
    March 6, 2010 at 8:00 am

    Ahh! It’s hard to pick just one, but if I have to, it would probably be “A Hunger Like No Other”. That was the first one I’ve ever read, so it has sentimental value.

    Thank you for this amazing contest!

  • Kinsey Holley
    March 6, 2010 at 8:13 am

    I’ve only read a couple of her books but I want to read all of them. So bring it on!

  • Roxy
    March 6, 2010 at 8:15 am

    Hmmm, my favorite was Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night. I liked the heroine in that one.

  • Amy Kathryn
    March 6, 2010 at 8:28 am

    I have to go with Dark Needs at Night’s Edge as my favorite at this moment. Ask me again and it would change because I like all the books in the series!

  • Teresa W.
    March 6, 2010 at 8:40 am

    This would be a new author and series for me, sounds good!

  • Scorpio M.
    March 6, 2010 at 9:20 am

    My favorite is A Hunger Like No Other. It just stayed with me.

  • Kristi Hall
    March 6, 2010 at 9:22 am

    I haven’t read any of the Immortals After Dark series. Kiss of a Demon King is on my TBR pile. The reviews I have read sound very promising….. 😀

  • Tiah
    March 6, 2010 at 9:29 am

    I am only on #4 in the series but so far my favorite is Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night.

  • GSM
    March 6, 2010 at 9:38 am

    My favorite is whichever I’ve read most recently, so that would be last year’s “Untouchable” from “Deep Kiss of Winter.” Thanks for the great giveaway.

  • azteclady
    March 6, 2010 at 9:46 am

    Well, I keep telling myself that I must keep on reading this series–I have the first five books already, after all–but so far I’ve only managed to read A Hunger Like No Other.

    I guess I’ll have to put that one down as my favorite so far, yes? 😛

  • Holly
    March 6, 2010 at 9:55 am

    My favourite still is A Hunger Like No Other. Emmaline was a great female lead and Lachlain is just perfect. There’s just something about those Lykaes.

  • Amalia
    March 6, 2010 at 10:05 am

    My favorite books from the IAD series are “A Hunger Like No Other” and “Dark Needs at Night’s Edge”.

    I would love to win a copy of the newest IAD book.

    Thanks for the contest.

    I really liked ‘No Rest For The Wicked’ 😀

  • Sara M
    March 6, 2010 at 10:13 am

    I’ve only read book one so far, so A Hunger Like No Other would have to be my favorite.

    I haven’t started reading the series yet. I do have her Deep Kiss of Winter but I am waiting to read the series in order.

  • cheryl c.
    March 6, 2010 at 10:40 am

    This is a new-to-me author, but I would love to start with this book. The blurb really hooked me. Is it important to read the series in order or does each book stand alone?

  • mel butcher
    March 6, 2010 at 10:48 am

    not yet read any, but a hunger like no other is on top of my to be read pile

  • Stacy
    March 6, 2010 at 11:03 am

    I’ve never read one of them. To be honest, I’ve never read a romance novel before… I know, I know. But I really have been thinking about wanting to try one now. And this sounds like a great one to start with!

  • Mary Beth
    March 6, 2010 at 11:05 am

    Dare I admit that I haven’t read any of her books? I would love to try, though, because her books get good reviews.

  • Rebecca
    March 6, 2010 at 11:07 am

    “Dark Needs at Night’s Edge” (with Conrad and Néomi) is my favorite. This is definitely an addicting series, looking forward to the new installment!)

  • Heather (DarklyReading)
    March 6, 2010 at 11:09 am

    I’ve only read the first book so far – A Hunger Like No Other – and I’m looking forward to trying others in the series!

    March 6, 2010 at 11:10 am

  • Terri
    March 6, 2010 at 2:47 pm

    I love this series and I really want to read this book!

    My favorite book is “Kiss of the Demon King” because Rydstrom Woede and Sabine, the Queen of Illusions steam up the book and they are a match made in heaven!

    Thanks for a chance to win a book and good luck everyone!

  • Emma
    March 6, 2010 at 3:19 pm

    I’ve haven’t finished reading all the books in the series yet, but so far my favourite has been Dark Desires After Dusk, but I’ve enjoyed them all so far.

  • Slayerette
    March 6, 2010 at 5:50 pm

    I luuuuuuurve Kresley’s books! Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night is definitely my favourite. First of all, what’s hotter than a Lykae male? Nothing, that’s what! And I loved the ambiguity over Bowen’s true mate, and how it all unfolded. Very original and clever. (And hot. Very hot.)

    My favorite is the one I don’t own, which is No Rest For The Wicked. I love the way Sebastian doesn’t give up Kaderin. No matter how many times she tries to ditch him. I also like the Amazing Race aspects of the book.

  • willaful
    March 7, 2010 at 1:30 am

    The first book of Kresley Cole that I’ve read is entitled “Dark Needs at Night’s Edge.” It’s the fifth installation of the Immortal After Dark series. I really like Neomi the Ballerina and Conrad the Mad. I was really hooked up to the point that I promised myself to collect all of Kresley Cole’s series. (I only have three books yet 🙁 ) I got addicted to it and it seems that the more I read her Immortal After Dark Series, the more I get captivated. I have the “Pleasure of the Dark Prince” book that I bought yesterday. I usually read very fast but I REALLY WANT TO SAVOR THIS BOOK UNTIL THE LAST PAGE! Is there anybody here who has all of Kresley Cole’s ebook, especially “The Warlord wants Forever?” I really wanted to read it. But guys, I suggest you pick Kresley Cole’s books because SHE’S A REALLY AMAZING AUTHOR!!! Once you grab a copy of her series, YOU’LL NEVER PUT IT DOWN! 😀
