Wow! So thrilled to be included on this list with so many great writers – thanks!
Great list of debut books. I have several of these titles on my TBR shelf already. Plus I finished the first 2 books (As Luck Would Have It & Tempting Fate) by Alissa Johnson and am currently reading her 3rd book McAlister’s Fortune. All three books are excellent stories…well worth you time to read them! I’ll keep watching for my by this author.
Thank you so much for including ‘The Real Deal’ among these other great books. It was wicked to see my name on your list!

WOW! I’m thrilled to be included in this fabulous list! Thanks so much. :> I got home from National and Aunty Cindy – Loucinda McGary – emailed me to say we both “made the grade.” I’m in such stellar company, because I’ve read The Wild Sight and The Mistress of Pleasure and the Magic Knot and several others and they DO rock! :> I’m about to read Sarah Parr’s debut too, so WOW!!! Thanks, again!

I’m here along with Delilah, chiming in late because of Nationals. But thanks for the mention! I’m in great company 🙂
Wow and wow and WOW!!! To be mentioned
amongst a list of such amazing authors is
humbling. Thank you!! I would have posted

I’m on vacation in Scotland at the moment and I’ve only just picked up my email. I’m delighted that The Magic Knot is included on your list. Thank you to the wonderful Romance Junkies readers!

Thanks Lisa for the heads up. All fixed I hope 😉

We’ve got a bit of confusion on the list. Authors names are shifted one down from their books. Not sure where it starts, but here are the two I picked up on:
WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS is by Carrie Lofty.
MISTRESS OF PLEASURE is by Delilah Marvelle (a terrific debut, btw, and her LORD OF PLEASURE coming on August 4 — be sure to reserve a copy with your favorite bookseller now, because Mistress sold out!)
I want to thank you for including my debut novel, “Fire at Midnight” among the list of Debut Titles That Rock. This is a huge thrill for me and I sincerely appreciate all the kind support RJ and the fabulous RJ readers have given me!! I’m doin’ the happy dance!!

This is such a great honor! I havent stopped grinning for the last hour because of this. And it’s great timing to have Blood & Sex, Vol. 3: Blane come out today at RavenousRomance.com. Thank you so very, very much!
Oh, wow, I’m thrilled and honor and grinning crazily to be included here! Thank you! 🙂
You guys made my day when I woke up and saw my book DIBS listed as a debut book that rocks on your web page. Thank you.
I am honored to have The Path to Freedom listed here. Thank you so much!
I am thrilled to bits and beyond to have Even Demons Get The Blues listed here–especially given the company it’s keeping! Was having the most sucky day and this has really given me a lift. Thank you 🙂
