I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

I've told ya'll how wonderful it is to do a book blog with my bestie, Amanda. The perks are amazing. We get more books than we know what to do with.

I have discovered lots of new authors while doing the book blog. One of them is Ilsa Madden-Mills. She quickly became a favorite of mine. She is one that I will always recommend when people ask for book recommendations. Ilsa writes the best combination of angst and humor in her books. They always make me smile 😄

Ilsa Madden-Mills has a new book out today....I Promise You. It's Dillon McQueen's story. You may remember him from Ryker's story, if you've been reading the unofficial series. Well, let me tell you, Dillon is my favorite football player from Waylon University. This starts with Dillon at one of the legendary bonfires at Waylon during his freshman year. Legend states that if you kiss a girl at the bonfire when you are freshman, she is THE ONE. Dillon kisses a girl and then loses her. But have no fear, he finds his girl that he kissed - eventually.

Dillon is much more than he appears to be. And his girl, Serena, is feisty and guarded and I absolutely loved her and her quirky family. I really hope I get to see more of them in the future.

Do yourself a favor and grab this one! And while you are at it, grab the other books about the football players from Waylon University. You won't regret 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?

Until Next Time...
