March 11th, 2008
It’s my birthday (and my son’s. Isn’t that cool?), but I’m the one giving out the presents. 
I’ve got a few advance copies of DON’T TEMPT ME here. If you’d like one, just shout out in the comments. Especially mention if your birthday is also in March. I’ll have my son pick a winner or two or three. I’d love to hear what your favorite scene has been with Simon so far, if you’re game. (He first appeared in PASSION FOR THE GAME, then reappeared in A PASSION FOR HIM.) DTM releases in exactly two weeks! Whoo hoo! 
In other fun stuff, the blurbs for my MARKED series is in the works and I hope to have some text to tease you with shortly…
Many Happy Returns, Sylvia! Hope that you and your son have a beautiful day today.
Love
Portia
by Portia Da Costa March 11th, 2008 at 1:35 amHappy Birthday to you and your son! My birthday isn’t in March, but my older daughter’s is - she’s sharing it with Easter this year. Weird - everything’s happening to early!
by MargayHappy Birthday Sylvia and to your son too! My one and only nephew’s first birthday was on the fourth and we celebrated big time (my sister was trying for ten years).
Oh and I just loved the little “love triangle” between Maria, St. John, and Simon. It was funny that St. John knew Simon wasn’t sleeping with Maria.
by sharmi March 11th, 2008 at 3:57 amHappy birthday Sylvia! I hope it’s a wonderful day for you and your little guy - the best present you could have ever received.
My birthday is not til October, but of course I’d love a copy of your latest release. Or else I’ll just treat myself to an early b-day gift
by Stacy ~ March 11th, 2008 at 3:58 amHappy Birthday to you and your son!!! May your Special Day be filled with good times, good health and good friends and family.
We celebrated my granddaughter’s birthday yesterday which was lots of fun; my birthday is not until May though.
Just wanted to shout out that I would love to receive a copy of ‘Don’t Tempt Me’.
by Shari C March 11th, 2008 at 5:05 amHappy birthday to you and your son, Sylvia!! My husband and I celebrate our 10 year anniversary on Friday, so March is a good month.
My favorite scene with Simon? Hmmm…while I love how protective he was of Maria in PASSION FOR THE GAME, I would have to say my favorite scenes with him are in A PASSION FOR HIM. I loved how he and Lysette were continuously verbally sparring.

Happy, happy birthday to you and your son. Mine is on Friday. I always feel my bday should be a national holiday! Now if I can just get over this cold/flu by Friday, I’ll feel real good! Enjoy the day!!! Hurray to all March babies!
by Laura K March 11th, 2008 at 6:07 amHappy birthday to you and your son, Sylvia - that is cool! *Squee* I’ve been waiting for Simon’s story! I liked him as soon as he appeared in Passion for the Game - and I love how he offered Colin a job to make him worthy, the skunk.
Can’t wait!
Does that count for anything? As to close birthdays… my sister and mine are exactly 1 wk and 3 years apart - and we have really good friends, our parents are friends with their parents - their first kid is 20 days older than my sister, and I’m 5 days older than the other one. Our birthdays are uncannily close.
by limecello March 11th, 2008 at 6:16 amHm… unfortunately, my birthday isn’t in March - but my dad’s is!
Happy birthday to the both of you! My birthday is March 9th, I had a great weekend with all my friends and family celebrating by having dinner Sunday night at my favorite mexican restaurant. Hope yours is a good as mine!
by Teresa W. March 11th, 2008 at 7:52 amHappy Birthday to you and your son, Sylvia! Mine’s not ’til later in the year, but today happens to be my nephew’s birthday, too. He lives too far away though so today we have to celebrate in cyberspace, then later this month when he’s coming to visit for Easter.
Loved how protective Simon was of Maria, comforting her when she needed it. and then how he offered Colin a chance.
by Pam P March 11th, 2008 at 8:03 amHappy birthday Sylvia to you and your son.
My birthday is in August. I would love a copy of Don’t Tempt Me.

by Eva March 11th, 2008 at 8:59 amHappy Birthday! I celebrate mine in September, but my baby sister (who just turned 27) is a March baby.
And I’d love a copy of Don’t Tempt Me. I’ve not read the other books in the series, but then I’d have an excuse to go book shopping since I hate to read books out of order!
by Jennifer K.Happy Birthday, Syl!! And Happy Birthday to your son!!
by MelissaI was born on my Granmother’s birthday…that is so cool!
March babies are the BEST, aren’t we??
LOL, I’ve read Don’t Tempt Me….and OMG, it’s sooooooooooo good. I was drooling in the first few pages, and don’t think I ever quit. You have such a way of making charachters come alive, Syl.
You guys SO want this book!!
I can hardly wait for this book! And dang it I missed a March birthday by one day. Oh well. Happy Birthday, Syl and son! I hope you have a good one.
And your Marked series. Man that’s gonna rock!
by Naughty Nikki DHappy Birthday, Syl!
My birthday isn’t until July. When it’s hotter than Hades.
I have both Passion for the Game and A Passion for Him on my TBR shelf. I have one more book to review and then I’ll be able to dig into the shelf!
I’d be done with the reviews already but had a mad case of food poisoning for the last few days and have been dead to the world.
Hope you’re feeling better, btw.
Ciao!
by DeniseHappy Birthday, Sylvia. Yep I too am a March birthday girl, mine is on the 14th. And let’s say that I have been 29 for many, many, many years, lol.

My birthday was on the 19th of February but, well, it doesn’t matter anymore *laughs*
I’d love to receive a copy of ‘Don’t Tempt Me’ (or better yet an autographed copy *grins*) .
I have several autographed copies of Lora Leigh’s books (among other writers) and it would be great to have one of your titles as well
Well, I’ll cross my fingers *smiles*
Un bacio!
Ps: Me, too, loved how protective Simon was of Maria and how he offered Colin a chance (Colin, my looooove!!!! *faints*)
