Changing the Game by Jaci Burton


Changing the Game (Play by Play, #2)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

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much!  I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period.  But that is where all similarities to others end.  Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir.  The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man.  Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father.  Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance.   Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters.  Theo eventually changes her mind.  Martha is so set on her plan to thwart her late hus

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?
