For thoses who don't know what this little meme means, it's a way for me to get my extra books off my shelf and into your hands while also trying to sell what other books I have left over for college. Win win situation. :D

 

So, for this giveaway, it's my way of making it up to you guys for three months worth of loneliness and no posts or giveaways. It sucked yet at the same time it was worth it since I'm now done with high school. YAY!!!

A Hundred Oaks Valentine's Day Giveaway

YES! A special treat is here on Reading in Paradise.

To make up for no Floating Books Along last month, I've decided to do a little Valentine's Day Giveaway.

Recently, I read Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally. I loved it.

 So I decided, with Valentine's Day coming up, to hold a giveaway featuring my favorite couples.

First:

The Books:

Goodreads:
What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though-she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university.

But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?

Goodreads:

Parker Shelton pretty much has the perfect life. She’s on her way to becoming valedictorian at Hundred Oaks High, she’s made the all-star softball team, and she has plenty of friends. Then her mother’s scandal rocks their small town and suddenly no one will talk to her.

Now Parker wants a new life.
So she quits softball. Drops twenty pounds. And she figures why kiss one guy when she can kiss three? Or four. Why limit herself to high school boys when the majorly cute new baseball coach seems especially flirty?
But how far is too far before she loses herself completely?

Goodreads:

Kate has always been the good girl. Too good, according to some people at school—although they have no idea the guilty secret she carries. But this summer, everything is different…

This summer she’s a counselor at Cumberland Creek summer camp, and she wants to put the past behind her. This summer Matt is back as a counselor too. He’s the first guy she ever kissed, and he’s gone from a geeky songwriter who loved The Hardy Boys to a buff lifeguard who loves to flirt…with her.

Kate used to think the world was black and white, right and wrong. Turns out, life isn’t that easy…

Gooreads:

Author of CATCHING JORDAN, Miranda Kenneally’s RACING SAVANNAH, about an underprivileged girl training to be a jockey while working in the barn at a high-stakes horse farm whose on-again, off-again relationship with the owner’s son has an upstairs/downstairs effect on race day. 

So, you know our books....

The Couples:

Sam Henry and Jordan Woods:

Sweet but a tough couple, Sam, aka Henry, and Jordan are stars of their football team. Best friends since grade school, Jordan and Sam bonded over their love of football, and along the lines, Sam fell for Jordan. Yet, Jordan being Jordan, couldn't see that Sam loved her, and fell for someone else, aka, Ty. But Ty ended up trying to be a bit controlling (or at least in my eyes) and then Jordan realized that Sam was the one. Thank the Lord! Now they are the happy couple in the rest of the books.

Parker Shelton and Will Whitfield (aka. Corndog):

Parker and Will are two smart cookies. Both competed for the title of valedictorian, and Parker came out on top. From there, Will tried to be friends with Parker, but because of Parker's bitch of a friend, now ex-friend, she didn't go for him. But after hanging out and going through the emotion roller coaster of Parker's life, their true feelings came out and BAM! Happy ending.

Kate and Matt:

Not much is known about this couple, but I have a feeling that there story will have me falling for Matt. What I find odd is that Kate's name isn't in the title.

Savannah and mystery boy:

On and off again relationship? I have a feeling there's a third boy involved that will make Savannah see that she's worth more than an on and off again relationship.

Now, the giveaway:

For this giveaway, one winner will win their choice of book from the Hundred Oaks series.

And this is for International readers too!
The only book that isn't up for grabs is Racing Savannah, which isn't available for pre-order international on TBD. Sorry!
But that means Catching Jordan, Stealing Parker, or a pre-order of Things I Can't Forget are up for grabs!

The Rules:
1. Only one winner! Sorry, I'm not that rich.
2. Open INT.
3. 13 years or older please.
4. I'm not responsible for the book if it gets damaged or lost.
5. Winner will have 48 hours to respond, or I'll have to pick a new winner.
6. Just use the rafflecopter to enter.
Easy huh? Well, get to it.

That's it!

 Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

Until Next Time!
