ok its friday woohooo

Well I made it to the end of the week and only had one cold melt down. If you want to know I did actually change out of my pjs and went to town for some supplies one evening, It felt great to actually be among people. Yes us farmers and ranchers do go through people withdrawl , even though we love our privacy . Sometimes we just need the noise of other people around to know that we aren't going stir crazy. I also broke down and bought some hair dye for my hair. I really need to cover the grey, So I guess I will be dying my hair this weekend and reading . Basically my life lately.
   Speaking of books, I took the advice from an author friend of mine and got one of her friends books. All I can say I was very happy I did. It was a very interesting book and reminded me that sometimes you just need a good book to read in one day.

MY REVIEW

 

  

I got this book because of a recommendation from an author friend of mine. I am very glad I did . Meet June a homeopath that runs a small business in locust grove. Where she hangs out with her best friend Oscar and her cast Mr. Prince Charming. She has a ding dong addiction. Hiding them everywhere . Her life was good until the day her shed blew up and a mysterious woman asks her to come to whispering falls. Where she finds out she is a spiritualist and accused of murder
All in one day . As she works on finding out about her family and try and catch a murderer , before she becomes the murderer's next victim. I don't think there is enough ding dongs to help out poor June.
I really liked this book , it has just the right amount of paranormal , and the just of suspense , with a touch of comedy in there for good measure. It's like a great combination when you are looking for a fun read. The characters are a handful and some are out right hilarious. I think Tonya could be my new favourite author, She can weave a good story . I feel like she is a dollop of Robyn Peterman and a dash of Rose Pressey, so if you like their books you will fall in love with Tonya . So please check it out and I don't think you will be disappointed. And by the way the book is free right now on Amazon

day 999 of the frigid cold and wind

Welcome to day 999 of the cold and frigid that is my daily exsistance. I know it hasn't been 999 days of being trapped in the house because of minus 5o with the wind chill. Yes, I admit it got a big ole case of cabin fever going on right now. There is only so much you can do in your house , before the house takes over . The house has never been cleaner and even the closets have been cleaned out.  You also know you haven't seen the outside of a house, when your whole wardrobe consists of pajama pants, bunny hugs and fuzzy slippers. My hair has even hit the hibernation mode . The grey is showing very nicely now. Yes this is a big admission for me I do die my hair. That is the only vain part about me. Don't care about the wrinkles when they come, but the grey hair is just a very sore spot with me. Don't ask me why , but it is. Doesn't help that I have been dying my hair since I  was 20 . dam premature greying gene . THANKS DAD. But I digress.  Some times its nice not having to get dressed or even put on the good bra . Looking like a slob really does have it merits.
1. no one comes for a visit
2 you can go from bed to the couch and not have to worry about getting your clothes all hairy
3 pjs are just dam comfy
4 the animals don't care what you wear when you do chores , just feed them and water them they are happy
5 hubby thinks the pjs are more sexy then the lingerie sitting in your drawer cause its too dam cold to but the lingerie on
6 pjs are the last line of defense in the coldness of everything
7 pretty soon going to need a weed whacker to shave the legs . the razor just wont cut it anymore
8 pjs hide said hairy legs
9 you can never have too many pairs of pjs,
10 pjs are the ultimate embarrassment for anyone you meet if you head to town in said pj bottoms
   So let us pray that spring soon comes our way , Cause holy I need to get out of the pjs and into some capris and tank tops. The most important thing the flip flops , I NEED MY FLIP FLOPS.
But I guess it is time to head to my favourite chair , grab my kindle and get caught up on all my reading . I WILL SEE YOU ALL IN THE SPRING

REVIEW OF HARVEY BY KRYSTAL SHANNAN

BOOK BLURB It’s just a game…right? Olivia Hampton never thought she’d run into the guy of her dreams at a Gaming Convention, but when Harvey MacLaughlin introduces himself a woman can’t help but notice. He’s six and a half feet of tall-dark-and-yummy. Plus, he's a gamer too. But, how do you tell the man of your dreams you decimate him at Soldier’s Call, the most popular FPS game of the year, almost every night? Harvey MacLaughlin was interested in Olivia the second she stepped on the plane. When he sees her again in the convention hotel, introducing himself becomes priority number one. He may have started out just looking for company, but what he finds in the beautiful Olivia Hampton may be more than he ever dreamed. Will a secret between them ruin their budding relationship? Or will Harvey take another path and turn the game on her? The MacLaughlin Family Series Trevor Caiden Harvey

MY REVIEW
   Harvey is the third book in the MACLAUGLIN SERIES, This novella can be read as a stand alone and follows Harvey the third brother to a gaming convention in L.A . He never thought that a weekend playing games could find him his true love. Olivia has been hurt by love and would rather play SOLDIER'S CALL then find a man. Well her luck is about to change for the better.
  Krystal sure can write about some hot men and the women who fall madly in love with them. She writes characters that you can easily fall in love with and want to cheer for as they work their way through the ups and downs of relationships. I got this book as as an ARC for my honest opinion and my honest opinion is that she did it again. The only thing I would love to see is it longer. Really wanted to see her go rock climbing and meeting the family , but a girl can wish ,lol. Other then that I have no qualms about telling all of you out there  GET THIS BOOK  and read it, Also if you find Harvery hot and likeable try out Trevor, Caiden , They won't disappoint at all .
I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars
so keep on reading and sharing

  BOOK BLURB

Three days a week I work your everyday nine-to-five. The paperwork is never-ending. The pay is mediocre, and the office drama is simply intolerable. But the other four days a week, I am my own boss.

My name is Jennifer Sunshine and I am a Vegas Call Girl.
My clients range from frat boys on spring break to multimillionaire business men with stuffy wives and less than ideal equipment.

I don’t have a daddy-complex or some kind of sob story.
I don’t need the money, but it certainly is nice.
The only thing I crave is the exhilarating feeling I get from being in control of something. Anything.

My life is uncomplicated, simple even.
That was until he bulldozed his way into my life, and everything changed.
Overnight he makes me realize how much I truly need him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I'm a new self-published author who just got introduced to the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write a story because I'm an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone. Well this year, a story came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit but I finally got a story idea that worked and now I can't stop or control the characters/stories that keep popping up in my head.

I'm born and raised in Canada and I live with my very wonderful and supportive husband, Michael. We don't have any children (yet) unless you count our cat. My hubby been my rock through this whole new experience for me. I couldn't have done it without him and my friends and family

ok ever had one of those days

So today has been the weirdest day ever. I nearly had heart failure this morning, it was an almost disaster.  Made my tea , turned on the radio, and settled down on the couch it was early. Thought I would get some reading done. I grabbed my kindle and went to turn it on, and had the shock of my life . There was nothing there not a book, a sentence or even a word. That shock made me scream. Woke the other half out of a deep sleep. As he comes running out of the bedroom , trying not to trip over the dogs in the process. Screaming I am coming honey, Stops and looks at me with a look like WTF is someone killing you. Of course I am looking at my kindle in shock and disbelief. I look up at him , they are gone all my books are gone . Now if you know my hubby , he is shy and quiet but the look he shot me this morning was nothing short of you have to be kidding me and don't do it again . Unless there is a rabid werewolf holding a knife to your throat. Yes he embraces my love a paranormal romance books. The reason why I don't know but he does.
   So after twenty agonizing mins of going through my I pad and my laptop . I knew my books didn't totally disappear. I decided to trouble shoot my kindle and figured that if I charged it my books might find their way back onto my precious. Yes. I call my kindle my precious cause it actually its pretty dam close to it.  After I waited patiently for it to charge . I read a great novella on my I pad.
So the morning wasn't totally ruined .  Thank the gods for that one.  All I can say is thank the gods there is a kindle app for the I pad , for this self appointed bookaholic. It works in a pinch lol
    So after the green charged light comes on notifying me, my precious is ready to go. I gingerly take it over to the couch and switch it on and there they were, my babies came home , they love me they really love me. After doing the happy; happy, joy, joy dance in the middle of my living room . I grabbed another cup of chai tea and settled down to get some reading done. Hubby walks by the living room just shaking his head . I can just imagine what he is thinking. I am in love with a crazy woman.  I just hope he knows I love him just as much as my fictional boyfriends lol. Well have a great Saturday everyone book review will be up tomorrow

DAMAGED AND THE KNIGHT by BIJOU HUNTER

New Adult Romance

After he saves her from certain death, Tawny Smith falls for her knight in shining armor.

Judd O'Keefe isn't an easy man to love. As an enforcer for the Johansson family business, he hides his heart behind cold walls built from a lifetime of pain. Yet, his angel Tawny awakens a desire in Judd more powerful than he ever imagined possible.

Can a man with blood on his hands heal the damaged girl of his dreams?

***Warning: This novel contains scenes of a sexual nature, violent themes, and coarse language. It is intended for mature readers.

 

MY REVIEW

 

   In the second installment of of the damaged series, is about Tawny and Judd. As the story starts. We find Tawny hiding in a dingy motel room , starving and scared . Judd shows up and saves her from the hell that she is going through. As they travel Judd seems to be distance and

Tawny is scared to death but the saving grace is that she is going home to Farah and Cooper.

 Judd is a hard core biker who is alone and lets no one in but some how Tawny finds her way into his heart. As he leaves her at her sisters. He tries to let her go but can't . Tawny cant get over the fact that he just left and pushed her aside when she got to Farah,  But fast forward to Tawny's 18th birthday when Judd comes back to win her back . She gives him what for and he leaves sad but not deterred.  He works hard to win her back and as they start to fall in love . Tawny cant get over the disgusting things that have been done to her and with the help of the rest of the bikers and Judd she will discover the beautiful woman that she is /

 

    This book is a continuation of the series . It was Tawny's story and it was a tragic one at the least. She was used by her father , called ugly and stupid. She was so damaged it wanted to make you cry. She thought that everything was her fault and when someone gave her a compliment . She would twist it around . Judd's character reminds me of that surly biker who doesn't let anyone in until Tawny.  The rest of the group are back also , which is all a good read

  Bijou brings life to the characters through their flaws and the damage that they have indured throughout their young lives. It also shows a great family bond and how that family will do anything for the ones that they love and protect. Each book is about one of the ladies and the biker that steals her heart . So if you love books with hard core bikes . with hearts of gold. and the damaged women that they fall in love with check out the series

book one . DAMAGED AND THE BEAST

book two, DAMAGED AND THE KNIGHT

book three - DAMAGED AND THE COBRA

book four - DAMAGED AND THE OUTLAW

 I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars

Ok here it is my very first post

Well here we go . My first official post . Never in a million years did honestly think that I would be doing a blog. Even more amazing a blog about one of my favourite pass times. When you live on a ranch and have six to seven months of winter. What do you do. Well in my case you read and read and read some more . Trust me not a lot goes on around here when it's - 40 and the wind is howling .
   I honestly think the invention of the e reader was made just for me . Why you ask? Well living in the middle of nowhere you don't get to go to the bookstore . So with my e reader I can download hundreds of books from awesome authors . Which I hope to introduce to all of you . Great indie authors and best selling authors . I love almost all books , especially urban fantasy, paranormal romance, erotica to cowboys, bikers billionaires , oooh and firemen .
    I try and give honest reviews and don't trash authors and books . I will try and keep you up on all new releases that are coming up .
So thanks for taking a chance on me and my little blog
 Patricia
