Giveaway & Review: Goodnight Tweetheart by Teresa Medeiros
Teresa Medeiros {Facebook | Twitter}
Publisher: Gallery
Publication Date: December 8, 2010
Trade Paperback {p.222}
Source: Publisher
Genre: Contemporary
Characters: Abigail Donovan, Mark Baynard
Challenge: 100+
My Rating:
Abigail Donovan has a lot of stuff she should be doing. Namely writing her next novel. A bestselling author who is still recovering from a near Pulitzer Prize win and the heady success that follows Oprah’s stamp of approval, she is stuck at Chapter Five and losing confidence daily. But when her publicist signs her up for a Twitter account, she’s intrigued. What’s all the fuss?Abby Donovan is an author who has written one great American novel, and has been struggling to write number two ever since. After a day of public humiliation at a local bookstore, her publicist signs her up for a twitter account that changes her life.
Taken under the wing of one of her Twitter followers, “MarkBaynard"—a quick witted, quick-typing professor on sabbatical—Abby finds it easy to put words out into the world 140 characters at a time. And once she gets a handle on tweets, retweets, direct messages, hashtags, and trends, she starts to feel unblocked in writing and in life. After all, why should she be spending hours in her apartment staring at her TweetDeck and fretting about her stalled career when Mark is out there traveling the world and living?
Or is he?
Told almost entirely in tweets and DMs, Goodnight Tweetheart is a truly modern take on a classic tale of love and loss—a Griffin and Sabine for the Twitter generation.
Twitter is where she meets the charming Mark Baynard. The two of them engage in a quick-witted repartee from their first tweet.
I loved the banter between these two characters. They will definitely keep you laughing, when you're not crying, along their journey of falling for each other over their TweetDecks.
Both Abigail and Mark are very appealing, likable characters. Both seemed to have this somewhat dorky personality, with their vast knowledge of pop culture, that made them a perfect match. Their connection actually felt real, which is an amazing thing to accomplish in 140 characters or less. I think I fell in love reading it.
The ending was great, although I didn't want it to end. I wanted more of their story and back-handed comments. I wanted to see what became of these two twitter soulmates.

Blog Tour: The Devil Wears Plaid by Teresa Medeiros
! 
Emmaline Marlow is about to wed the ancient patriarch of the Hepburn clan to save her father from debtor's prison when the Hepburn's sworn enemy Jamie Sinclair bursts into the abbey on a magnificent black horse and whisks her away. Jamie is everything her bridegroom is not--young, handsome, virile...and a perilous temptation for her yearning heart.
A DANGEROUS MAN
Jamie expects Emma to be some milksop English miss, not a spirited beauty who will defy him at every turn. All of his plans to use her as a pawn in the centuries old Highland feud begin to go awry when irresistible passion flares between the two of them. A man can kidnap a bride, but is it possible for him to steal her innocence without losing his own heart?
