How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne Long

I first read Julie Anne Long way back in 2012. I jumped into her Pennyroyal Green series with book 6, How the Marquess was Won. And let me just tell you, I fell in love with her writing. So, when I was given the opportunity to become part of her ARC team I jumped at it. Julie's latest release is How to Tame a Wild Rogue. It's part of her Palace of Rogues series. Book 6 to be precise, and it's my favorite of the series.

It's always fun to come back to a series that has characters that flow in all the books because you get to see them grow and change, even if they're not the main focus of the current story. In this one, Lorcan and Daphne are the main characters, but lordy! We get a lot of Angelique, Bolt, Delilah and Capt. Hardy. And the scenes with them were MAGNIFICENT!!!! There was this one sequence where all of our couples were not getting along and they all end up elsewhere (I'm trying to be vague to not spoil it for you LOL). This showed us how much the original 4 have grown and changed and how they love each other. I smiled like a loon with it.

But I guess I should talk about Lorcan and Daphne since this book focuses on them LOL They were opposites in so many ways, yet they had a lot in common. And most importantly, they just wanted to be loved (even if Lorcan didn't realize at first he wanted that). It was really neat that he was a pirate - I have a thing for pirates ;) And it was even neater that all the men at the Grand Palace on the Thames knew Lorcan before he got there. Did they all like him? I'm not going to say, you need to read it to find out.

As I said, this was my favorite in this series. I can't imagine Julie could top this for me. Unless it's with a book for Dot. Or Mr. Delacourte LOL Go find a copy of this and enjoy it!

Until next time...

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

Finally Finished A Year of Celebrations

Ash and Grant came visit the second week of July. I always love having them at the house. I miss them terribly. So, I knew I needed to get my butt in gear and finish her birthday present. I actually finished stitching these pretties back in May, well before we left Odessa. I even bought the frame for them in Odessa. And cut out the sticky board LOL I had ordered a new glue gun, but the wrong glue stick size, so that is what the hold up was. But, with Ashley coming to visit I got the correct glue sticks and got to work. This was easy to finish up and Ashley loved them. The pattern is A Year of Celebrations by Hands on Design (one of both mine and Ashley's favorite designers). I dyed the fabric myself. I believe it was a color called paper bag on the Rit Dye website. I used some of the called for colors, but most of it was switched to Colour and Cotton threads. With this set being done, I am motivated to finish up my Truckin Along series b

Until Next Time...
