"My prize package arrived just a short time ago. What a nice basket full of Joyful Girl Natural beauty products, it's just amazing and so beautifully wrapped.
With the Les Bons Matins certificate in hand, it makes me want to go right now. What a great looking suite from the picture--can access My Romance Story through the Wi-Fi in our suite, everyday.
And many thanks for the check to cover the gas.
I sure am a very happy girl today. Thank you so much." |

Congratulations to the Grand Prize Winner
for the 1st Round of the "Ladies Night In" Contest
Grand Prize winner Ruth Bousquet and her husband Marcel
Ruth Bousquet
Winchester, VA
|
"I am so excited to win it. My husband is from Montreal and this will be the 'ultimate' chance to revisit his homeland. What a wonderful prize this is. I just wanted to accept and let you all know how happy I am that you chose me to win it! Many thanks."
Congratulations to our Grand Prize Winner Ruth Bousquet, Winchester, VA. If that name sounds familiar it's because Ruth's husband Marcel Bousquet was our week 4 winner. A lot of maxims come to mind, such as "couples that play the "Ladies Night In" contest together get to go to Montreal together." The truth is Ruth and Marcel participated in the contest from the beginning and that certainly increased their chances of winning. And probably a good strategy for other couples hoping to win.
Ruth is the married mother of three grown sons, two of whom are currently serving in the Military. She describes herself as happy and we're sure her win only adds to that positive attitude! She's a Libra and her husband is a Taurus--a combination that Celestine Knight says provides each other with pleasure and harmony.
Ruth says she doesn't have a favorite MyRomanceStory novella, but looks forward to reading them and especially enjoying the upbeat pictures. She first heard about MyRomanceStory.com and the "Ladies Night In" contest while on the Internet.
We hope Ruth and Marcel will have a wonderful trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to Les Bons Matins Bed and Breakfast and will enjoy their other Grand Prizes including a selection of Joyful Girl Natural Products and a two-year subscription to MyRomanceStory.com.

Congratulations to the Weekly Winners
of the "Ladies Night In" Contest
Week 14
Lisa Garner Auxvasse, MO | The final weekly winner in our first “Ladies Night In” contest is Lisa Garner of Auxvasse, Callaway County, MO. Garner, the married mother of three, describes herself as a busy stay at home mom. She tells us one of her favorite things to do on a night-out is watch the sunset down at the river before going out for a special supper and a romantic movie. Sounds like an evening all of us would envy. For a fun night-in she makes popcorn and cuddles with her family to watch a funny movie.
We also learned that her favorite color is pink and she’s a Sagittarius. As our “Discover Your Romance Signs” column explains, Sagittarius women are adventurous, open-minded, and extremely cerebral. Also great qualities for a stay at home mom! If Garner likes pink then she’ll love the pink bag that comes with her survival kit. And when asked to pick a favorite story she couldn’t since she explains, “each is unique and involving.” She found out about the site and the contest through a link at .

Week 13
Daniel Vice Washington, DC | | Daniel Vice tells us that his “Ladies Night In” survival kit will be great for a night-in as Washington, DC’s hot and humid summer months wind down. If you’ve ever experienced a summer in our nation’s capital you’ll be able to relate. Vice adds he and his wife will enjoy a romantic evening that gives them a little break from their energetic toddler…before their next child arrives in December. Vice, who describes himself as a relaxed guy, describes his favorite night-out as dinner with his wife. And when the couple isn’t enjoys a night-in alone or with their little one, they like to have friends over to hang out. He tells us that his favorite color is blue—and we won’t even speculate if that’s a paint color for their new addition’s room. Congratulations to the Vice family for their win and their new baby on the way! |
Week 12
Rakesha Mothersill Coram, NY | Rakesha Mothersill, who describes herself as fun loving, adventurous and a risk taker, comes from Coram, Suffolk County, New York. Mothersill is single, but says she’s patiently waiting for that special someone. A night-in means a chance to hang out with friends and relax. She loves DVD nights that turn into slumber parties with her girlfriends. Often they end up pigging out and talking about which guys are cute! But with a special guy, a night-in becomes an opportunity to cuddle and reconnect after a busy week. Of course there would be lots of back rubs for her. On a night-out she loves going out for BBQ, to the movies, or playing video games. Although she says she is mostly a “watcher” with the video games. And this Libra has a serious side since she also enjoys museums such as the American Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Modern Art in nearby New York City.
Mothersill tells us her favorite colors are stormy weather, which she describes as a dark gray, neon colors and black depending on her mood. When asked about her favorite MyRomanceStory.com novellas, she responded that was a hard one since she loves happy endings. If she had to pick then she’d say “No Accident,” written by Gail Hamilton and illustrated by Ron Randall. She first heard about the contest on MyRomanceStory.com.

Week 11
Andrew Berg Reading, MA | | We are please to welcome another gentleman to our list of winners in the “Ladies Night In” contest. Andrew Berg comes from Reading, Massachusetts, which is just outside Boston. He was excited about his win, which he says, “Is so out of the blue and so cool.” Berg, who describes himself as somewhere in between married and single, tells us that he entered the contest at the urging of a friend. “My friend sent me here, after hinting how nice it would be if somebody (that is, me) were to win,” explains Berg. We certainly hope Berg and his friend enjoy the prizes in the “Ladies Night In” survival kit. Just about everything inside can be enjoyed alone or with a friend. While Berg didn’t share his thoughts on a favorite night-out, we doubt he’d say no to three nights out at Les Bons Matins, B&B were he to win our grand prize drawing! |

This book lover tells us that one of her favorite things to do on a night-in is read and relax. When talking about good reads, she mentioned our recent release, “A Complicated Affair,” by Amen Henriques and A. J. Neale. Brown, a purple-loving Gemini, is obviously a people-person since a fun night-out includes talking and laughing with friends. It was one of those friends who told her about the “Ladies Night In” Contest. This is not the first time this lucky winner has won a contest. She tells that she once won a boat for her dad. |

Fortunately he heard about the “Ladies Night In” contest from a friend and is excited to share the prizes in his survival kit with his intended.

Week 7
Marilyn Wons Miramar Beach, FL | | Marilyn Wons comes from the small community of Mira Beach in Walton County, one of Florida’s fasting growing counties. An area known for it’s white sandy beaches is likely why this married mother of three describes one of her favorite things to do on a night-out as watching a sunset. Serene evenings like this are exactly what you expect from a Libra, a sign that values beauty and harmony above all else according to MyRomanceStory.com’s astrology expert Celestine Knight. But it’s not always quiet in the Wons’s household since a fun night-in always includes listening to classic rock. Wons describes herself as an aware person, so it no surprise that her favorite novella is “Top Secret Romance”. You have to be pretty “aware” to keep track of all the twists and turns in this two-part spy-thriller. Luckily for Wons, she spotted a write-up on the “Ladies Night In” contest in a newsletter. |

Petrashko was an early winner in the first round of the contest and here he is again in the winner circle for round two. Guess we’ll chalk that up to the luck of the Petrashkos! He must also be lucky in other area since he’s been married to his lovely wife Marianne for 18 years and they have two daughters ages eight and ten. He lives in Fountain Valley, Orange County, CA, whose city motto is “a nice place to live.” This must be true since the Petrashkos enjoy lots of family activities in their area.
