Allegiant Airlines ruined my kids vacation
So, I've been planning our vacation to Circus Circus and California since April. I was so happy with the hotel prices and couldn't belive the deal I got on Allegiant Air. The price was so good I didn't mind having to drive the distance to fly out of the Owensboro airport in Kentucky (6 hours) - yeah it sounds crazy but I was saving $600 dollars...or so I thought.
The kids and I got up at 4am (having prepared everything the day before)... we hoped on the hwy and not 40 minutes into the journey my back tire blew. It was a tire I'd just replaced 3 days earlier because it was showing ware. I called road side assistance hoping that I could get back on the road to still make the flight. When it became apparent that there was no way I could make it I called the airline for a later flight. They were closed because their offices didn't open till 4am PST. When I got a customer service person on the phone she was flat out rude and told me I would be forfeiting my ticket if I didn't get there on time. I asked if I could use the ticket towards another day and was told no..there is no flexibility.. I thought I'd found a bargain in this airline but it turned into a nightmare for me and my kids. I'm a single parent with three children and was excited to make this trip happen form my kids. I can't even afford to do an alternative vacation because Allegiant will not even refund a portion of the return ticket. How is this legal? I thought I'd done my research before booking with them even called the reservation desk before booking online. I'm just disgusted. I wrote the customer relations and they just restated I forfeited my tickets.X-( They did email me a coupon for a $364 voucher to use on their airlines in the future..REALLY??? I spent over $1K for the tickets... REALLY...REALLY? The only flights of interest were the ones to Vegas and they will discontinue that in August.
Please spread the word to anyone who even contemplates using Allegiant Airlines, their prices are low but apparently they commonly use the "you forfeited verbiage" even for people who arrive 45 minutes for their flight.

Haven: Rules of Mating Review
The Romance Studio gives Haven 4.5 hearts. In Haven: Rules of Mating author Nia Foxx takes readers on a thrill ride with a marvelous cast of characters and a sexy-page turner with the perfect blend of action, passion, sexual tension and a little danger that is guaranteed to have the reader craving more from this delightful author. Ms. Foxx's sense of humor shines by creating laugh-out-loud witty ripostes, plenty of wild escapades and outrageous pleasure in this story that is sure to tease and satisfy with its original plot and unconventional characters. Seth, Ashlei and the rest of the residents both young and old from Haven keep the pages flying and easily capture the imagination to the point that readers will embrace them and never want to let them go with the ending of the story. The sexy mating shenanigans are sensual, playful and steamy with enough sexual tension and amusing delights to captivate and enchant the reader.
With her descriptive writing style, the reader has the feeling as though they are in the pages of the story right along with the characters. I couldn't put it down and I had a hard time not skipping to the back of the book to see how the story plays out. I am looking forward to more from this entertaining author!

Happy Mother'w Day
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
