December 1st
Well it's December 1st! Time to get into the holiday spirit. The tree is up, the wreaths are hung and the morning is complete as I sip some French Vanilla coffee out of my snowman mug.
Next up on the list some holiday shopping. Now I've already gotten some great deals. My guilty pleasure just happens to be Amazon.com. It's so easy to rack up a ton of great gifts for a great price.
I'm also going to be trying something new this year. Now I've made cookies before, sure, who hasn't but the new part is making 7 different kinds! Wow I can see the kitchen now. Flour covered counters and frosted covered cabinets. I can't wait.
All the holiday delights wouldn't be complete without some holiday music. Come on, who doesn't like some Rudolph...

Jeweled by Anya Bast
Jeweled by Anya Bast
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm going with 3 1/2 stars on this one. It took a couple chapters to get into this but in the end it was a HOT read. Evangeline is a jeweled. She can take and manipulate others emotions. Her main goal at the palace is to move up the magical food chain even if it means sleeping with men and women. Just when things were going her way, the palace was invaded by the non-magical and the poor. Royals were killed and she barely escaped with her life. Thanks to Anatol, the man who saved her, she began to feel her own emotions and fell in love with him. After a rocky re-start, Anatol was captured by the revolutionaries and only the only person who could save him was Gregorio. The man who started the whole revolutionary to begin with.
Staying in Gregorio's home while recovering from his injuries, Anatol began to realize that Evangeline needed both of them. It was a love story of how three people couldn't live without each other and how they made it work.

Presentation!
Presentation is everything. For instance take this gorgeous piece of man. His rippling muscles entice you to come closer for a more thorough view. The same thing with book covers. The cover is generally the first thing that you see. It entices you, attracts you, grabs you. Then if you're like me you read the blurb and bam you have just added a new book to your TBR pile.

Oh Strider!!!
The Darkest Surrender by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
View all my reviews
The Darkest Surrender is sinfully delicious!
The 8th installment of the fabulous Lords of the Underworld didn't disappoint but then I don't think the talented Gena Showalter could ever disappoint with those hot and drop dead sexy demon lords.
Strider is possessed by the demon of defeat. He must win his challenges or face immense pain. Kaia a feisty harpy believes Strider is her consort and will do just about anything to make him believe that.
Their journey is one violent and sexy mess. After Strider realizes his feelings for Kaia ... Whoa baby did it get even more sexy. Kaia the disappointment proved herself over and over how untrue her nickname was and receive a new one!
If you haven't gotten your copy of The Darkest Surrender then move your ass and go get it!

You Slay Me
You Slay Me by Katie MacAlister
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Loved this! You Slay Me cracked me up. Poor Aisling was just a naive courier sent to pick up and artifact for her uncle. But when she arrived in Paris to acquire the item, the owner was dead. She meets Drake who she suspects is the killer. Having one of the most eye opening weeks in her life, she found out there are dragons, demons, witches and oh yeah she is the guardian of a portal and Drake's mate.
Jim a sarcastic demon dog with no powers was summoned by Aisling to do her bidding. However he has his own agenda to eat and pee all over everything. Her new sidekick comes through for her and I really enjoyed this story and can't wait to read the next one.

Just Keep Swimming...Just Keep Swimming...
Have you ever given up on something because you thought it would be too hard or you weren't good enough?
I have! All the time in fact until recently. I'd write stories and send them in waiting for the rejection email to say it wasn't what they wanted, so that I could tell myself "see you aren't good enough." But for some unknown reason I kept at it, kept trying and suddenly my attitude was, maybe I can do it! My dear friend Suz encouraged me constantly not to give up and now my confidence is at an all time high. It's okay to take a break from your dreams to see if it truly is your passion. Every time I was curled up on the couch watching the TV I'd find myself day dreaming and brainstorming of a new WIP and curse myself for ever thinking of giving up. I enjoy writing, even if it's just for me and no one will ever see it. Don't let your dreams slip through the cracks because you think it's too hard to catch!

NEW RELEASE!!!! ANGELINA RAIN'S INTIMATE HEALING
Intimate Healing
http://www.sapphirebluepublishing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=125&osCsid=ecbe70f974b062119fc718b8bdb53f47
It’s been fourteen years since Jordan Powell ended her relationship with Nate Thrillson and she is still not over him. She never expected to see him again.
Nate is hiding a deadly secret and plans to live out the rest of his life alone. When he is assigned as head investigator to a missing dogs case he doesn’t expect to be working so closely with the town veterinarian, Jordan. As they work together to discover who is kidnapping these dogs, old feelings
are brought to the surface. Can they be together again or will other problems force them apart?
Sneak peek exerpt:
“And another thing.”
She stood in front of him and crossed her arms over her chest. “What?”
He grabbed onto her forearms forcing her arms to fall stiffly to her sides and pushed her back against the wall. Her heart started to race and one look into his lust filled eyes, made her body warm. Her breath caught in her throat. Slamming his body into hers, Nate’s lips hovered over hers and he kissed her passionately. His hands traveled up to the back of her neck and caressed it softly as he deepened the kiss.
Heat exploded all over her body. She should stop him, stop herself. This was so wrong. They hadn’t seen each other in so long. It was too soon to share such a passionate kiss. But it felt incredibly right.
He pulled away slowly.
She panted, trying to catch her breath. Jordan couldn’t tear her gaze away from him. Nate stared back at her.
Nate smiled. “Miss me?” He winked at her and walked past her. Once he opened the door, Nate glanced back at her.
“Not a bit,” she lied. Oh, she had missed his kisses, and the way he made her boil with passion.

Finally Friday!
What inspires you?
Inspiration can come from any where. A song from a playlist, people watching at the local mall, or even a simple picture. Where and when your creative spark happens is a mystery and something you can't plan for but when it happens ... It's the most spectacular feeling!

Vampire Narcise
The Vampire Narcise by Colleen Gleason
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Absolutely loved this one and wish there were more. Vampire Narcise had been controlled by her brother for far too long and When Cale first saw her, he wanted to save her. A huge misunderstanding occurred between then and then Chas the vampire hunter entered the picture and in deed save her from her nasty brother. She enjoyed Chas but in the end her heart was only able to love one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The best one so far! We learn more about the hot and sexy Rafe. He's a little more then just a shifter. Glory still up to her "I'm independent" tricks. She winds up possessed by a snarky demon who urges her to sleep with Rafe and just about every other hot guy. We find out some one is not dead who should be and whoa that was a shocker. "Dr. Simon" decides to make his acting debut, hysterical. He desperately wants Glory to be one of the EVs Flo has a wonderful wedding and Jerry gives Glory a low blow. Can't wait for the next one to come out. Will she get back together with Jerry?

The Vampire Voss
The Vampire Voss by Colleen Gleason
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Absolutely loved the first book in this new trilogy from Ms. Gleason. It was dark and sexy. Vampire Voss incredibly hot and Angelica beautiful. Great characters and I did enjoy Corvindale. Poor guy now in charge or 3 women. There was a twist in the end that I had not expected but I loved it. Can't wait to dive into the next one.

Giving Chase
Giving Chase by Lauren Dane
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was another free download from amazon.com
Maggie had some troubles. She didn't feel pretty thanks to her mother and sister who were both pageant winners. Her friend Liv had given her a mini make over before heading out on their weekly outing.
Liv had set Maggie up with Alex who turned out to be a scary stalker type and quickly got rid of him. She bumped into Shane Chase and had a couple of dates with him but he had been hurt by an Ex so he wasn't into relationships. However his HOT brother Kyle had the hots for Maggie for a while and didn't care that Shane was his brother. He wasn't going to let her get away. Maggie and Kyle dated and fell in love and who happened to show up.... you guessed it Alex the stalker.
This was a good read. It is the first in the series and you get to know the characters. I'm looking forward to next book in the series.
3 1/2 stars

I spy? (Sophie Green)
I, Spy? by Kate Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I downloaded this from amazon at the time it was a free read.
This was a great read! I loved Sophie. A British airline employee who is beyond obsessed with Buffy finds herself in all kinds of shenanigans. Luke/Luca a SEXY special secret agent recruits her to help him catch the bad guys. Her claim to fame is she's smarter then she looks. All she desires is a gun but has yet to obtain a license. After witnessing something she shouldn't have her life had been put in danger and she began receiving some bloody fingers in the mail. The adventure and trouble she winds up in was hysterical and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed the start of this series and can not wait to download the next one!
