What is an advanced reading copy? An advanced reading copy (ARC) is the bound pages of a manuscript which the publisher sends to reviewers and booksellers ahead of the on-sale date to generate buzz about a great new book. Do readers ever get a peek at a manuscript before the on-sale date? Only if an author has managed to get her hands on a few precious arcs — and she offers them in her contest.

Just in time for the holidays, Christina Dodd has scored an ARC for TONGUE IN CHIC (February 6), the second in her Fortune Hunters series, and she's offering the ARC as well as a TROUBLE IN HIGH HEELS t-shirt as the prize in her contest.

Which makes December a very good month indeed, because THE PRINCE KIDNAPS A BRIDE, the much anticipated finale to Christina Dodd's Lost Princess series, is hot off the presses! Hurry and read the KIDNAPS excerpt, watch the KIDNAPS video, get your copy of THE PRINCE KIDNAPS A BRIDE, and best of all, have a happy holidays!
