All you have to do to enter:

1. Click on the book excerpts below and read the excerpts (excerpts will come up in a new window). There are 37 excerpts (don't fret - you have all of February to read them!)

2. From each excerpt, list the following:

   A. Author's name
   B. title of the book
   C. hero and heroine who appear in the excerpt
*
   D. your favorite line from the excerpt (can be dialogue or narrative)

3. When you've read all the excerpts, nominate your choice for the most romantic book (title and author name), based on the excerpts you've read, and tell us why you chose that particular book.

4. Email your entry to and INCLUDE your snail mail address (if you win, we need to know where to send your prize - we NEVER loan, rent, give away or sell your information!)

* Some excerpts may only feature a hero OR heroine (rather than both). So if only the hero (or only the heroine) are featured in the excerpt, then that is all you will list. Or, if by chance the excerpt has neither a hero nor heroine, then you will type "none".

ONE entry per person per household per IP address. Duplicate entries will automatically be discarded.

Four (4) prizes per week will be randomly drawn from all eligible entries (all answers must be correct for all books listed below).

The grand prize will be drawn for from all eligible entries on March 1, 2007, and the winner will be notified.
