Happy Endings Giveaway Hop!

by Danica Winters
Whether you find love between the pages of a Vampire novel or with the swipe of a finger in a Mary Jane romance, there is something that unites all lovers of a Great Romance novel--the guarantee of a Happy Ending.
happy endings giveaway hopWithin romance you are made a promise, a promise that you will end the book feeling great, love has conquered evil and that there are great things to come in the character`s futures.  Yet, there are two different types of "Happy Endings" (no snickering from my perverted readers).  There are two main categories, the HEA:  Happily Ever After (hello, The Nymph's Labyrinth) and HFN: Happy for Now (The Vampire's Hope). 
I love writing books with both types of endings.  If I let my characters always walk off into the sunset it would not only be boring for readers, but it wouldn't be a challenge for me as an author.  I like to create situations where we aren't always sure that things will be sunny in the end, but we hold out hope for our beloved characters. 
There has been a lot of talk about the characters Ellie and Ian from The Vampire's Hope.  (I don't want to give you a spoiler.)  But for those of you who have read the story I promise there is more to come.  Ellie Smith is a hard-headed no bull**** type of woman/Vampire... and I envy her strength.  I, like many of my devoted readers, want to take her place and be able to kick butt when the opportunity presents itself.  And more than anything I hope that she and Ian will get the HEA... Maybe someday?

As A Thank you, we are going to presenting another wonderful Giveaway for the Paranormal Romance Fans for Life!

    I love HEAs, when a book ends with HFN I always feel so disappointed!

    One of my favorite HEA stories is Sweet Lullaby by Lorraine Heath. I first read it years ago when it came out in paperback and I still love it. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I like both HFN and HEA. Both have their time and place. I think Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite HEAs. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Thanks for the giveaway! I prefer HEAs in my books, but they have to at least have a HFN for me to read them usually.

    I like endings that are satifying. Doesn't have to HEA or HFN just as long as it has a good ending. No cliff hangers.
