Event: Scott Sapphire's ebook giveaway

To all my friends, there is a special reason for me to do this ebook giveaway, but to know why you have to read the book, and when you are at page 15... well, you will certainly know!

So, this is VERY simple, just leave a comment guessing why I'm doing the giveaway, even if your answer is wrong, you will in any case have a chance to win the ebook ;-) I will draw the winner tomorrow night

Scott Sapphire and the Emerald Orchid by Geoffrey Knight
Publisher: Imperial Pride: Imprint of Dare Empire eMedia Productions (April 21, 2012)
Amazon Kindle: Scott Sapphire and the Emerald Orchid

Meet Scott Sapphire—lover of French champagne, Belgian chocolate and dangerous men. He is suave. He is sexy. He is a man of the world—and a man that the world desperately wants to catch.

For Scott Sapphire is the greatest jewel thief of our time.
Dashing. Daring. And always neck-deep in trouble.

But when Scott’s latest heist lands him in possession of a map to a rare and precious orchid, it’ll take more than bedroom eyes and a charming smile to stay one step ahead of one of the world’s most powerful business tycoons, as well as keep the CIA off Scott’s back and a handsome special agent out of his pants—or maybe not.

From the Venice canals to the Amazon rainforest, from Rio de Janeiro to the casinos of Monte Carlo, comes a brand new gay hero as irresistible as diamonds and pearls.

Adventure has a new name! And that name is Scott Sapphire.

They solve the puzzle ;-) that is what you will find at page 15:
"Inside the vestibule was a young brunette in a black dress, clipboard in hand. She had large beautiful eyes, and diamonds to match, dripping from her ears. “Good evening, sir,” she said as Jake approached. “I’m Signor Mancini’s personal assistant. My name is Elisa. Elisa Rolle.”
To read the rest, buy the book! or leave a comment here before tomorrow night ;-) you still have a chance to win.

And the winner is: [livejournal.com profile] bodleian, please contact me with a PM and give me an email address so that I can send you the ebook :-)

I would guess that you are mentioned in the book! :)

My guess is the same as Amie's. You're in the story somehow.

[identity profile] annabirmingham.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with the others! I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Scott Sapphire has a BFF called Elisa :)

Has he named a character after you? That would be cool, especially since the book sounds so good! :)

Either you or your blog makes an appearance in the book.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
near near, BTW my blog did an appearance in a novel, but not this one, it was the Virgin Billionaire series by Ryan Field ;-)

[identity profile] moniqee.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh...so it was your blog in Ryan Field Virgin Bilionaire's series ^_^

Wish more would promote your blog coz you deserve it!

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, yes, it was my Reviews and Ramblings, only that Ryan made me a french lady ;-) but to me, and him, it was pretty clear it was me, he also described my layout pretty well.

[identity profile] bodleian.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
That's where I got the idea. I did feel that it was you when I read the book.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
So someone noticed that one ;-) I was under misguise there

I was going to guess that your name (Elisa) was a secondary character in the novel, related to the main character in some way?

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2012-04-24 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
fire fire. Not only the name...

A dire il vero ho anche qualche battuta e la scena è più lunga di quel pezzetto ;-) è stata davvero una cosa carina e divertente.

LOL yes, I love that description, he was so kind. I have a picture on my FB profile of when I was 15 years younger and with my eyes wide from surprise... I think he got inspired by that.
