Changing the Game by Jaci Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another 4 solid star book by Jaci Burton.

I read the first one at the beginning of this year and wondered how JB was going to make me like Liz. Well, guess what? She did. Liz apologized for what she did to Tara and Nathan in the first book and got fired by Mick. Then Liz proceeds to hide from Gavin (Mick's hot little brother that Liz also represents and she's in love with). When I found out that Liz has been in love with Gavin for several years, my heart went out to her. Here she is, representing this guy that she loves and he has NO CLUE and is a playboy and she has to watch him with all these different women on his arm all the time. She's a stronger person than I am, cause I would have been gone.

I adored Gavin from the very beginning. He was fun and sexy and playful and just a tad bit dominating in the bedroom. When he realized he had feelings for her, he didn't back away, just kind of pushed it to the side...even when the guys on his baseball team pointed out that he was playing worse when Liz was gone than when she was there. My problem with Gavin came when Liz finally told him she loved him (of course, any woman would have had a problem then cause of his reaction). Gavin was a stupid clod who was listening to his grudge holding brother rather than listening to his heart and therefore broke Liz's heart; which is what she was trying to avoid in the first place. Thankfully Daddy Riley gave his boys a talking to and they realized they were both in the wrong and BOTH apologized to Liz. In the end, Gavin got the girl and what a sweet way it happened too *sigh*

Now on to the sexin'. Yep, it gets a whole paragraph to it's self. Once again, I took several cold showers while reading this. My husband would have benefited greatly from this book had he been here while I read it; I even told him that *smirk* I think Gavin could have easily transitioned into black leather pants and had Liz call him "Master". Would I have minded? NOT ONE BIT! But while he was so dominating in the bedroom (or living room or porch), he was still very loving to Liz. I'm surprised it took him so long to recognize his feelings for her. Of course, Liz gave just as good as he did. If you read this book for nothing other than the lovin', you won't be disappointed :)

Good grief. I had lots to say about this one *heehee* Go get the book and read it!

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series? If you're not, can I ask why not? And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order). This can wait. Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series. Payne and Manny's story. And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous. I love getting lost in the Brothers' world. When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?). We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool. There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool. Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning! Yes, I'm one of *those* people. The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning". I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning. There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school." I'd just smile in response. Because, really? What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning. And I have. And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it. I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it. Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before. Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner. Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
