For starters, four winners will receive a copy of Taken to read and enjoy!
And for the grand prize winner. . .one person will win a copy of Taken PLUS twelve stunning photo cards from France. Here's the cool thing. These cards are being sold as a fundraiser for a sweet seventeen year old friend of ours who is raising money in order to travel to Ethiopia with her parents to pick up her sibling(s) they are in the process of adopting. I'm so excited to be able to help support her for all of you to be involved as well.
I would like something from you as well, though. I'm currently working with my publisher on a possible brand new romantic suspense series set in different locals around the world. . .like Paris. So what about you? What would you pick as your top international local for a page-turning suspense novel?
Let me know in your comment below, AND please also be sure to leave a way for me to contact you to be entered.
Open to both US and international winners. Addresses outside the US will receive an ebook copy of TAKEN. Drawing closes Tuesday, February 3rd, 12:00 am PST.
A bit more about TAKEN:
Kate Elliot's suburban life turns upside-down when her sister is shot and her niece kidnapped. Unsure of whom to trust, she turns to FBI agent, Marcus O'Brian. Against the handsome agent's orders, she tracks her niece to Paris, but the City of Lights quickly becomes a city of danger. When kidnappers demand a ransom, Marcus isn't sure how much longer he can keep Kate alive. Now Marcus has the next twenty-four hours to save a stolen child and the woman he's falling in love with.
Happy Reading!

How about the tiny, winding streets of an ancient city/medina like Fez, Morocco? Love your writing, Lisa! Keep them coming! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to receive a copy of your book to give as a gift.

ReplyDeleteLove your books, Lisa. Taken sounds amazing! i would love to read a book set in Venice.
ReplyDeleteHow about a book set in Hannibal, Missouri.....I know it doesn't sound romantic, but I fell in love with historical Hannibal and visiting all the places made famous by Mark Twain in his Tom Sawyer book.....especially my visit to the Mark Twain Cave and my guide with his Mark Twain moustache and re-enactment of scenes from Tom Sawyer......and what could be more romantic than a moonlight dinner cruise along the Mississippi River on the Mark Twain Riverboat!

ReplyDeleteI think Iceland would a great place to base a novel!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great places to base a novel, and you should DEFINITELY visit to scope the place out before you write! I'd love to see something set in Italy. Pasta, intrigue, and history all in one place.

I would love a story set in any Scandinavian locale...
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to see the setting of a book in the Himalayan Mountain Range.

Some of the most exciting reading ever. There is a problem with these books, once you start reading, you don't want to stop. There is a different twist or turn on every corner.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy of Taken. I would love to read a suspense book written about the Amazon region of Brazil

DeleteThanks for the giveaway! Would love to read and review this one. My hubby is hoping to be able to go to Paris for a work convention next year - this would be a lovely prelude for me 😊. I think a book set in Berlin would be incredibly interesting - I have never been there, but visualize that it must be a lot like Munich which I have visited. The history is so rich in Europe,making suspense even more likely.
ReplyDeleteI would think about Hawaii . . I think this is a great giveaway :)

I would love to read a romance book set on the Isle of Capri off the coast of Italy. It is a beautiful place with interesting sites and friendly people.
ReplyDeletejwisley8@me.com
I love your books and would like to read this one. The only way I will get to other places if through books and I truly enjoy that.
ReplyDeleteI'm always interested in Japan (or Taiwan) so those would be an interesting setting for a book.

ReplyDeleteSweden! (My Mom was 1/2 Swedish & 1/2 Norwegian) and then there's Austria, with all that history...Oh, this is a difficult question! Just keep writing! LOL!
ReplyDeleteInternational, maybe South America or the rain Forrest. But I'd love a suspense setting in Alaska. I've always wanted to visit there.
ReplyDeletetumcsec(at)gmail(dot)com
Wow! I'm loving reading through all of your responses! I think Europe's definitely a hit, especially Italy, but such great answers. Thanks for the feed back. And as Susan said in her comment, I think I need to visit a few of these places in the near future to get even more ideas! Thanks all! Lisa
ReplyDeleteAmsterdam would be neat!

ReplyDeleteLove the sound of the book
ReplyDeleteI think Sydney Australia would be fun or Lima, Peru.
ReplyDeletewsmarple@gmail.com
International kidnappings must be extra suspenseful as it would get out of control so fast. Sounds like a great read. Sm. wileygreen1( at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, I always enjoy your books....so am looking forward to reading the latest ones! I have watched you grow and mature in your writing abilities....you were good when you started and have become an excellent writer over the years!! Its been fun as each book came out to see the growth and the depth of your writing. Love it all ...blessings and continued success!! Lila
ReplyDeleteI can't decide. Ireland, Australia, Italy, Israel... there are so many awesome choices! The location would depend on the the plot since some of these places are so different.
ReplyDeletebethyhope96@yahoo.com
Ireland would be a good place for a story! Would love to win!! 😀📚
ReplyDeleteIreland or the Czech Republic would be a great setting. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pop over & buy TAKEN right now (well pre-order, I guess). What a great idea for a series … and you have to travel to the city, naturally, for your research. Look Australia would be fun because we'd love to host you but I think somewhere like Vienna or Venice would be pretty special.
Another thought would be Tokyo or Hong Kong but readers may not be drawn to them as much.
I'm looking forward to reading TAKEN … I'll report back.
Congratulations on the release and I trust hubby will spoil you with a special something to celebrate.
Bless,
Ian
Well, we lived in Russia for many years - so I will have to say Moscow. :)

Hello Lisa. Sounds like some good mysteries. I would like to see a setting in Ireland. According to my name in Ancestry my people came from Wales and Ireland first, then to England and on to America. Please put my name in. Thanks much! Maxie > mac262(at)me(dot)com <
ReplyDeleteI would choose Paris : ) but Greece, Australia, Switzerland, & the Amazon would be amazing too!!! Love your books!!! Neceemama(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAlbania is north of Greece and east of Italy across the Aegean Sea. Because of this there are some commonalities. Is that a real word, commonalities? They aligned with China versus the USSR as a communist nation. This has an interesting impact on their society. I believe all of this would contribute to an interesting setting for one of your intriguing tales. :O) Melanie McDaniel Bailey, 2121 NE 78th Avenue, Vancouver, WA 98664
ReplyDeleteI love Italy; the food, the language, the culture, the history, the sun on a field of sunflowers... :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy anything I've read of yours, though. Right now I'm reading "Hidden Agenda". rgkieleo(at)hotmail.com
