Monday Give Away: the Reidiad

October 12, 2015 |

When I introduced Alex Reid, way back in Pink VI, The Betrayal of the Blood Lily, I initially had no idea that the Reid family would take over the Pink series.

Then Alex’s father popped up, around about Chapter Two of Blood Lily, and I knew, instantly, that there was the man for Miss Gwen.

And then, way at the end of the book, Jack Reid walked into the scene… and Jane’s future was sealed. (Although it was rather maddening not to be able to tell anyone, since Jane’s book was still many years in the future.)

So, for this Monday’s give away, I present the Reidiad, the three books in which the Reid family take over the stage: The Betrayal of the Blood Lily, The Passion of the Purple Plumeria, and the final Pink book, The Lure of the Moonflower.

Some day, perhaps, the Reidiad will stretch to five books, with one for Alex’s twin sister, Kat, and another for the irrepressible Lizzy. But, for now, it’s a collection of three.

The three Reids are very different sorts of heroes. Alex is hardworking and serious; Colonel Reid is a charming, carefree rogue (at least on the surface); and Jack is a cynical soldier of fortune. For a chance to win, here’s your question:

— Which of the three sounds most like your cup of tea?

I’ll be giving away four sets of the Reidiad this week. The winners will be announced on Thursday!

Posted in Blood Lily, Contests, Lure of the Moonflower, Purple Plumeria

    It would have to be Alex. I loved him from his first appearance in Blood Lily and was really struck by his insight into the Indian people and culture.

    Alex, but I’d hope that he’d mellow with age and maybe not be so serious??? But better that than being a rogue or a cynic, I guess!

    Definitely Jack…his cynicism would get along fabulously with my inherit optimism. He would be the ying to my yang.

    I’d like to think that I’m more like Jane, but Alex is more my cup of tea over Jack. Although, I don’t think any of them would be a hardship!
