I'd better turn the wireless on on my kindle. If it were released on my midnight, it would be in two hours :D

Well, usually I can get it right at midnight on Sahmain, and I pre-ordered it. So eight more hours. I love "New Josh Lanyon Book Day"! :O)

Ok, that would be 6 am here, my normal wake-up time

It usually comes out Midnight Eastern Time so, it'll be more around the time you ladies wake up.

You can always buy it on Sahmain and compulsively refresh starting at about quarter to midnight, that's what I'm doing :O)

I wish I could afford to stay awake until midnight :(But I have an appointment tomorrow and I need to not be sleep deprived.
Guess I'll have to wait for morning.
Lauraadriana wrote: "You can always buy it on Sahmain and compulsively refresh starting at about quarter to midnight, that's what I'm doing :O)"I pre-ordered it from Amazon months ago, so I have to wait for them :)
I thought I had it pre-ordered but I couldn't find anything so I just did it to make sure. Amazon books are always more expensive for me than for US-customers. I don't like that so I mostly buy from the publisher. That's what has kept me from buying a Kindle.

I know why you pre-ordered it everywhere: just in case one is released a minute before the other!

auguri al tuo papà :-)
Baci
Thank you all for buying -- and in some cases multi-buying -- the book! I hope it's waiting for you in the a.m. and that you have a pleasant day sneaking peeks. ;-D

Oh no no! Minutes! It's past 11:30 on the East Coast :O) I hope to have this book in my hands VERY SOON!

I love pre-ordering books from Amazon and having them pop-up on Kindle spontaneously! It's such a fun surprise. I wish Amazon let users "subscribe" to an author, so their books would automatically pre-order and deliver. That would be a win-win for writers and readers!
Woo Hoo!! It's in my Kindle!! *Happy Dances* Off to read!!
It's on my Kindle now, too! I've got about 50 pages to go on another book, but I should be able to squeeze in at least a few pages before bedtime!
I woke up early (in the UK) and immediately turned on Kindle and watched Mummy Dearest download. I read it straight away and loved it! Thank you - and (without meaning to hassle) when is Book 2 due?! I see from Aunt Lynn on Jessewave that you're taking a sabbatical next year so I'm guessing no time soon... All the best with your sabbatical. I'll miss your excellent stories (unless you've been working flat out to ensure a steady supply while you're away?).

I was away in the morning and I've just downloaded it from Samhain: they didn't warn me it was in my bookshelf! Anyway I can't read it till this evening, so it doesn't matter...
I liked this one too!!!Just a couple of thoughts:
The characters are cute and sweet, but in such an understated way that you don't realize they have you wrapped around their little fingers until the end of the page, when it's over and you cry out for more.
My favorite scene. It's probably spoilerish. The silent tears Fraser wipes away from Drew's cheeks show that you can write something very emotional without having to make your characters sob and cry like banshees. I think it's the best moment of the book, because it's a very private moment for Drew, a moment when he's at his most vulnerable, and he shares it with a kind of stranger who has shown him tenderness and affection and passion. See my little tear?
I want another one!!!
