I’d love the prize, but I’m one of the supporting authors. May I ask Love Romance Passion fans to visit the alien romances blog where someone will win 8 books donated by Linnea Sinclair, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Margaret L Carter, Susan Kearney, Susan Sizemore, and myself Rowena Cherry.

My favorite thing about sfr is that I don’t have to mess with human history, earth geography, or the sex lives and anatomies of real historical personages.

I’m an avid Romance reader and slightly more than occasional SciFi reader. I only very recently discovered SciFiRomace genre books and I’m very interested in reading more. I’ll be crossing my fingers in hopes of a few freebies to help the pocketbook out a little.

Also, what an awesome way to publicize these great blogs. There are many that I haven’t ever visited before, enjoying the tour de blogs!

#3 SMD on 12.06.09 at 10:44 am

I’m in!

Thanks for the giveaway and I hope you have a great Christmas or holiday, whichever you prefer.

#5 janicu on 12.06.09 at 11:17 am

*waves arms* I’d love to try out this author.

#6 Paula on 12.06.09 at 11:45 am

This is pretty general, but I like the mix of adventure and romance in SFR and I’m drawn to plots that deal with the meeting of different cultures.

#7 Patti on 12.06.09 at 11:58 am

This is a great way to try a new-to-me genre. Thanks! I haven’t really read any scifi but am willing to give it a chance…Happy Holidays!

I love reading books from this genre! The SFR Holiday Blitz is a great way to celebrate the holidays!

#10 Jennifer Leeland on 12.06.09 at 12:49 pm

This SFR Holiday Blitz is such a great idea. And I LOVE Nathalie Gray!!!!

#11 Charlotte McClain on 12.06.09 at 12:57 pm

I love sci fi romance because it allows me to have the best of both worlds. Science fiction is a long time passion of mine because it appeals to my brain. (I’m having my own personal Stargate marathon right now. DVDs are wonderful.) Romance appeals to my mushy little heart that wants the happy ending. Sigh.

#12 Jody W. on 12.06.09 at 1:03 pm

I’ve been a big fan of SFR for a long time. I haven’t tried Nathalie Gray’s work yet, though!

#13 Ilona on 12.06.09 at 1:13 pm

Love the chance at winning books

I think as far as what plots I like best in SFR’s it has to be the interspecies romance and the SF action in equal measure

#14 Jess Granger on 12.06.09 at 1:17 pm

Please don’t enter me, I’m one of the participating authors, but I wanted to show my support for the event by cheering everyone on.

This is really great, and I’m glad to see so many people enthusiastic about the genre.

My favorite thing about SFR is the freedom to create cultures and conflicts without the constraints of preconceived notions. I can start from scratch. I also love creating cute alien critters and have fun with alien costume design.

#15 e_bookpushers on 12.06.09 at 1:28 pm

This looks great. I haven’t tried her yet. I love the combination of adventure, imagination and a romance with strong female characters that don’t try to “out man the men”.

#16 JB Hunt on 12.06.09 at 1:33 pm

Thanks for the opportunity to win the Gray series!

Who doesn’t like wolves! Count me in.

#18 Miri on 12.06.09 at 1:49 pm

I am traditionally a historical romance genre fan, but I would love the opportunity to get acquainted with this area of romance! Sign me up for SFR Holiday Blitz!

As far as science fiction I have only read “traditional” books and not any of the romance oriented ones. I love Stirling and Cherryh books!

#19 Barbara Elness on 12.06.09 at 2:05 pm

I love SFR – my favorites are Linnea Sinclair, Ann Aguirre, Susan Grant, Patti O’Shea and Susan Kearney. Since I haven’t had a chance to read any of Nathalie Gray’s books, it would be great to get a chance to add her to my must read SFR authors.

#20 Cathy M on 12.06.09 at 2:15 pm

SF romance gives us grand adventures that stretch our imagination. Some of the authors on my Favorite’s List: Lauren Dane, Ann Aguirre, Nathalie Gray, Melissa Schroedeer, NJ Walters, Madison Hayes, Michelle Pillow and Anya Bast.

#21 Janet on 12.06.09 at 3:20 pm

Cool idea, these blogs have been fun to tour and bookmark@!

#30 Anna Shah Hoque on 12.06.09 at 8:33 pm

The ability to immerse myself in far away worlds…the unlimited possibilities that exceed time and space. I’m a huge fan of stories that take place in space ships and multiple planets where the hero/heroine (can be human or other species or a mix) have to battle evil and end up triumphing in both love and war *as cliched as that may sound; I happen to adore the scenario.*

There are so many sci-fi romance authors whom I adore and follow…Kaitlyn O’Connor, Madeleine Montague, Michelle Marquis, Rowena Cherry, Linda Mooney, Jaid Black, Angela Knight, Jan Springer, Dawn Ryder, Madison Hayes, Charlotte Boyett-Compo, Amon Bieste, Trista Ann Michaels, Bonnie Rose Leigh, Annabel Wolfe, Jez Morrow, Leigh Wyndfield, Lara Santiago, Liz Craven, Jade Buchanan, Celia Kyle, Robin L. Rotham, Belinda McBride, Loribelle Hunt, Shay Lacy, Lynn Sterling and so many many more. It’s hard to list them all…but I think I’ve put a fair dent on my list…LOL

Happy Holidays

#31 Pamk on 12.06.09 at 10:08 pm

Happy Holidays to all!
I’ve been reading sci fi all my life and would love the chance to find some new and exciting authors. I can’t afford to buy many books so this would be a great thing for me. Thanks for the opportunity!

#33 Sybylla on 12.06.09 at 11:20 pm

SFR Holiday Blitz is a great idea.

#34 Bella F. on 12.07.09 at 2:02 am

“SFR Holiday Blitz”
love the great contest! please count me in; I’d love to win this series
though I’m fairly new to the romance genre, I’ve read and love Sci-fi for a long time. I recently delved into SFR and simply LOVe it. Really hope I win! Right now Susan Sizemore is my fave SFR author, but I cant wait to have many more. Thanks for the contest!

#35 Laura on 12.07.09 at 2:21 am

SFR Holiday Blitz – Cool idea!

#36 catie james on 12.07.09 at 6:02 am

What do you love best about Science Fiction Romance?
Hmm, I think my favorite aspect would be how the adventure of travel through the wide expanse of galaxies or unknown territories mirrors the exploration of the characters unexplored internal realms. It’s in these great military/physical tests of endurance, the people themselves test and learn the boundaries of their emotional interiors and when you throw romance into the mix – hot damn! That make for some spectacular storytelling!

What’s your favorite plot in sci-fi romance? Anything. I’m willing to go anywhere, any way, as long as the author gives me compelling characters and story.

Who is your favorite SFR author? Oooo – that’s so difficult because I love so many! I’ll give a short list of those I can easily remember at for in the morning: Jordan Summers, Marianne Mancusi, Eve Kenin, Joanna Wylde, Liz Maverick, Madison Hayes, Allyson James, Zannie Adams, Charlotte Boyett-Compo, Devon Summer, Colby Hodge, and Nalini Singh.

#55 Curt Phillips on 12.07.09 at 8:31 pm

I’ve only just heard of SFR though I’m a long time SF reader. I’m looking forward to reading a few of these books to see if they appeal to readers of regular SF as well as romance readers.

SFR Holiday Blitz: Thanks for the contest and Happy Holidays! And thanks to the comments for a list of new authors to try.

#63 Mike Barker on 12.08.09 at 12:13 am

Not a US resident, so I’m pleased to see an ebook! Supporting the genre and the contest, anyway.

#64 Melissa on 12.08.09 at 12:26 am

SFR Holiday Blitz

I really enjoy Lois McMaster Bujold and Linnea Sinclair. I like it when good SF marries itself to good Romance, so that both sides of my reading personality are fulfilled.

Thanks for the opportunity to expand my horizons!

#65 Nicole Zoltack on 12.08.09 at 9:00 am

I think books that cross genres are the most fun to read.

~Nicole

#66 Nels on 12.08.09 at 11:41 am

I’ve heard of Ms. Gray, but haven’t yet read her, so a free book would be a great place to start!

#67 Angela on 12.08.09 at 12:00 pm

SFR Holiday Blitz fairly new to this genre so I would love to win the prize so I can expand my horizons.

#68 bahamia on 12.08.09 at 12:30 pm

I found new authors to read, whether or not I win. Thanks.

#69 AnnaM on 12.08.09 at 2:32 pm

SFR Holiday Blitz!

Let’s see, what do I like in SFR? I’ve always loved hard SF and like how the Romance aspect rounds the stories out for me.

Favorite SFR plot: I’m pretty open plot-wise. I do like the SFRs that tend more toward the hard SF. Love the tech, the worldbuilding and the aliens. Love the spacecraft and new planets and politics too.

Favorite SFR authors? Catherine Asaro, Linnea Sinclair, Lois McMaster Bujold (Shards of Honor/Barrayar are my favorite SFR books), SL Viehl, CJ Barry, lots of others really.

#70 E.L.F. on 12.08.09 at 3:29 pm

Thanks for giving us so many chances to participate in your SFR Holiday Blitz! There can never be too many books in the world…

#74 ReaganStar McBeigh on 12.09.09 at 8:19 am

Great contest, fantastic genre how exciting.
Happy Holidays!

#75 Pauline Baird Jones on 12.09.09 at 8:53 am

Favorite? Hands down: Linnea Sinclair, though Rowena Cherry is right on her heels. I love Linnea’s high octane action and the romance is always sigh worthy. Ranking her books is even harder, but GAMES OF COMMAND, FINDERS KEEPERS, and ACCIDENTAL GODDESS jostle for top spot. And don’t get me started on Rowena’s LOL stories. Oh my.

So glad to see this contest shining a bright light on a genre that I love to read and write! Thanks!

SFR Holiday Blitz

I’d love to get my hands on these titles. I’m writing my first novel now and suspect it would be marketed as a science fiction romance. But I definitely need to research this genre and find some great, comparable novels.

Thanks for this contest!

Mary M-S.

#78 Anne on 12.09.09 at 2:49 pm

I probably like scifi romance because some authors develop a whole new world for us to explore.

#79 Trishe on 12.09.09 at 3:22 pm

Please add my name to the ever growing pile of entries.

#80 SusGod on 12.09.09 at 6:30 pm

#82 Fedora on 12.10.09 at 1:19 am

I love the total other-worldliness of scifi which contrasts nicely with the all-too-human emotion of love, and have recently been enjoying Ann Aguirre’s Jax series. Thanks for the celebration and contest!

#83 Spherical Time on 12.10.09 at 11:26 am

I’ll enter, with thanks. Cheers.

#85 maddbookish on 12.10.09 at 5:32 pm

I’m a geek for sci-fi. Have been as long as I can remember. I started reading at the age of 6 and sci-fi was always my genre of choice. At the age of 9 I started reading romance. The fact that there is a whole “sub-genre” that blends both is just beyond awesome. Growing up I don’t remember reading a single romance that had a sci-fi setting, though there were some sci-fi/fantasy books that had more than a little romance in them. I love that these days you can very easily find SFR.

#86 Andrea on 12.10.09 at 6:42 pm

SFR Holiday Blitz!

I would love to win any of the books.

#87 MaryK on 12.10.09 at 9:05 pm

I’m very cautious in real life so I like to read about adventures, preferably fantastic ones; and everything’s better with romance.

#88 Kea Barnica on 12.10.09 at 9:55 pm

Thank you for the contest and all the interesting new future reads in store for me since finding these web sites. Kea

#89 old_folkie on 12.11.09 at 7:56 am

I probably don’t count as a SFR reader, the only book that comes to mind for me that I would class such is P. J. Farmer’s “The Lovers”, great read btw.

But I do love regular Sci-Fi and werewolf novels.

#90 Jo on 12.11.09 at 10:47 am

hope lucky!!!

#91 Beth on 12.11.09 at 5:41 pm

Loved Sci-Fi first, then discovered Romance. Glad that the last few years have seen a blending of the two.

#92 Kerry M. on 12.11.09 at 11:37 pm

I hope I still have a chance to win!

#93 Karin on 12.11.09 at 11:41 pm
