The Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop, sponsored by Jane Wakely runs from June 20-23 and winners will be announced by Wednesday, June 25! Join 60+ romance authors as we celebrate summer romance.
The Grand Prizes will be:
One $75 Amazon Gift Card
One $25 Starbucks Gift Card (Donated by Sue Lyndon)
One $25 Amazon (or Barnes and Noble) Gift Card (Donated by Denisea Kampe)
Read below for the rules.
Tomorrow is the Summer Solstice, the first official day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It has been the occasion of celebrations for millennia with bonfires burning during the night. And of course, there was a lot of hanky-panky going on in the shadows. Though originally a pagan holiday, midsummer’s night was continued by the Christians as St. Johns Eve. Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Eve, is one of my favorite plays.
Pagan traditions fascinate me, so I adopted some for the Medieval-style fantasy setting I created for my shapeshifter romances, Ilona’s Wolf and Tova’s Dragon. In the kingdom called Velosia, magic is openly practiced, the old Roman gods and goddesses are still worshipped, dragonshifters have been hunted to near extinction, and werewolves struggle to conceal their existence. I hope you’ll check out the book pages if you have time.
But now back to the hop. Here are the rules for the grand prizes:
1. Enter the Rafflecopter once for a chance to win the Grand Prize! (Winner will be chosen at random by Random.org and everyone who enters once is eligible!)
2. Visit all the stops on the hop and enter each stop’s personal giveaway—of course this step isn’t mandatory, but it’s fun! LOL! (The winner of each blog stop is decided by the author at their discretion—all decisions are final!)
3. Have fun!
My gift is a $15.00 Starbucks e-gift card, because there’s nothing like an ice cold drink on a summer day. What’s your preferred summer beverage? Mine is iced coffee.

Iced coffee is mine to i love Starbucks they are so awesome and very addicting, josephhawkshaw@yahoo.com
Yes, Joseph, Starbucks is addicting, even when you’re drinking decaf like I am. My drink of choice is an iced Cafe Americano.
Fruit smoothies!
Congratulations to Def! You won the $15.00 Starbucks gift card.
I love a good, cold smoothie
I could drink those all day long 
I love fruit smoothies, too, but don’t drink them very often. Too many calories compared to iced coffee! And don’t let me get started on Starbucks frappaccinos!
I have never been to Starbucks, but my niece goes all the time. They closed the one that was here in my area.
I have a serious obsession with iced lattes. I have my Starbucks order memorized. Vanilla tall skinny iced latte. That shot of espresso is just what I need! And I subscribed to the blog (prettylittlepages[at]gmail[dot]com). Thanks for the giveaway! My fingers are crossed!
Do the baristas remember you by name and what you like to drink. That’s sure sign that you’re a regular!
Thanks for subscribing to the blog.
hot coffee is my first choice of a beverage for any season. Starbucks is the first place that has ever served me a decent iced coffee! My teen LOVES Starbucks!

Starbucks does have good iced coffee. I only drink hot coffee in the summer if I’m in air conditioning. Otherwise it makes me glow a little too much.
I love the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino and the Iced Black Tea Lemonade.
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

Oh, that frappuccino sounds good! Thanks for dropping by.
I love iced coffees and homemade lemonade. Thanks for having the giveaway.
My mother loved iced coffee. Not me! Give me a nice cold ale every time.
I like a cold beer, too, though I’m not so fond of the ales. Prefer a lager or hefeweizen.
Definitely iced tea
Or a vanilla bean frap.
Thanks for the giveaway!

iced tea

If it’s in the evening, and it’s one of those rare times when I feel like an adult beverage, I crave top shelf potato vodka with Koolaid made with Splenda. The rest of the time, it’s iced tea. michelle_willms at yahoo dot com
That sounds like an interesting cocktail, Michelle. I’d never have thought of putting vodka and Koolaide together, but I bet it’s sweet and refreshing.
Iced Mocha coffee with whipped cream would be my choice.
I’ve subscribed at html-2 at hotmail dot com. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
My favorite summer drink is iced tea. Thanks for the great giveaway!

My favorite summer beverage is lemonade.
I know it sounds crazy, but water! I am a huge water drinker! I switched to Hydrate Water! Now after mowing the yard, give me a beer.

I drink water all the time, but you can’t go wrong with a nice cold Iced Tea in the summer, especially a freshly made one!
Favorite drink, pretty much year round, southern style sweet tea.
