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...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot. But ya'll. I'm originally from south Louisiana, I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf! I totally went off any eating plan while there. Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food. If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

Hi friends!! I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while. So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness. And it comes with a story. Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program. If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out. Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!! I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls. Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt. Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023. I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month. I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Long Time No See

Hi there! It's been a hot minute since I've visited with you. Let me catch you up on what's been going on. I think the last time I was here was back in October. That would totally make sense because I got a new full time job at the end of October that had me working 50 hours a week. With all that work going on I had little time for anything else. Good news (or bad, depending on your point of view) is that the job is over and I am back to being a stay at home wife again. There will be plenty of time to catch up on cross stitch and quilting. My needles will be happy since my poor sewing machine has not been touched since November! Once again, I am back to tracking food. I gained back 10 pounds while working. My body hurts again and I don't want to ache. So, I am taking it day by day. Positive thinking. Good food choices. I got this. The holidays came and went. All the girls are doing good....

Until Next Time...
