Ready to Fall by Daisy Prescott!!!

When you fall, you fall hard...
Readers first fell in love with John Day as the hot next-door neighbor in Romantic Comedy Best Seller Geoducks Are for Lovers. Tall, dark, and handsome is an understatement. With the beard, a dog named Babe, and his ever present plaid shirt, John is a modern lumberjack in more ways than one.
Lurking beneath the flannel and beard could be the heart of a romantic. Or is John a wolf in flannel clothing?
After his favorite neighbor rents out her cabin for the winter, John finds himself playing fireman and tour guide to Diane Watson, a beautiful brunette with her own messy past and recent battle scars. When an ex shows up unexpectedly, their lives will be changed forever.
Will he be ready to fall in love? Or will he fall back into his old, flirty ways?
Hold onto your heart... and get ready to fall for John Day.

Eve hugged him and whispered in his ear, “Careful. I’m fatal.”  He needed to remember that warning.

He whispered back, holding her hair so she couldn’t squirm away, “Jesus. It’s like you said that directly to my balls.”She laughed so hard at his unexpected reply.

Summary:

Beckett Taylor is a murderer. His calling, his craft are destruction and intimidation—whether he wants it that way now or not. He left Poughkeepsie to keep his brothers safe, to keep Eve safe. Set up with happy lives to live, they’re better off without him, right?
But all his willpower crumbles when he hears his brother Blake’s frantic voice on the phone. An unknown enemy has moved in on his old territory, and Livia’s been taken. In an instant, Beckett knows it will take an attack only he and Eve can execute to bring her back. All his self-imposed embargoes are torn to shreds, perhaps along with the new man he’s struggled to become.
“Brother, call Eve. I’ll be there soon.” 
In this emotional and action-packed sequel to Poughkeepsie, Debra Anastasia conjures a tale of love at its most raw and ragged. With Beckett and Eve, how could we expect anything less? But even when it’s messy, not magical, true love perseveres. Real love finds a way—for better or worse until death does part.

Awesome 5 star review!!!
"I am a fan of Debra’s writing style.  She’s hilarious but her stories have a lot of depth to them.  I’d be happy to be trapped in a dressing room with her any time, and I mean that in the most platonic way possible.  5 star read for me! And don’t forget that all the proceeds from this book go to help in the fight against breast cancer.  So, in reading this, you’ll be laughing your butt off and helping to support a great cause!"

"Debra Anastasia. Filled with suspense as well as hilarious and inappropriate humor, it was unpredictable and different. It didn't take long to read, which was good because I had to read it in one sitting. This story gives new meaning to the phrase "exchanging digits." Get ready to laugh yourself silly. It's crazy and fun and suspenseful with some romance mixed in. Just a lot of awesome in a small package. And the proceeds go to breast cancer research. Get it now and thank me later.

My Rating: *****"

 "Have you ever been on one fair ground ride that made you laugh hysterically; then scream yourself hoarse when you suddenly know you're about to be killed; then shamefully blush as your errogenous zones heat up. Late Night With Andres had this effect upon me - starting with page one, paragraph one. I can't remember reading a book where my emotions were pushed and pulled to the extreme within each paragraph. And it worked beautifully. I'd read Late Night With Andres book again just for the thrills.

Such is the talent of author, Debra Anastasia. She's wacky when it counts. She's mysterious and intense. She's gifted."  (Review from my wicked talented Omni Sister Feather Stone Stone) Make sure to enter the giveaway too only 16 hours left!!

In honor of Blake, Love my amazing Street Team!!

   My Street Team Members, Patti and Nise wanted to do something to assist the homeless this Holiday Season. They have some very affordable and tangible ways to help. The contact email is wheres.pough@gmail.com if you can help in any way. Please read the note from them below:  In the spirit of Poughkeepsie, since the release of the book in 2011, my daughter and I have put together small gift packages for our local Family Promise and donated them in honor of Blake Hartt.


This year we've made it our goal to be able to make packages for twenty individuals, and we asked Deb's permission to approach the street team group to help make that goal possible.  Her response was that she was behind it 400%- so here's a little info.
Family Promise is an organization that helps low income and homeless families stay together through tough times by helping to foster independence and self sufficiency.
A dear friend is the executive director of a Family Promise day program in Williamsport, PA. The day shelter is in a church parsonage. The first floor is set up as office space with computer labs where individuals can surf the net looking for jobs, put together resumes and print them, get assistance writing resumes... There are classes for budgeting and saving money, life skills, counseling.
A kitchen provides a place where families can cook a meal and sit down together to eat. 
Bedrooms on the second floor provide a safe place for children to lay down and take a nap, for a mother to nurse her infant, or care for an ill child. A number of secure walk in closets provide a place for individuals to leave their belongings, under lock and key. A private bathroom is provided where individuals can shower and attend to personal needs.
Another community church provides shelter where individuals can sleep together in family units, others provide food pantries, soup kitchens and used clothing closets.
The organization assists families in acquiring housing, employment, GEDs and sometimes higher education.
As the name suggests, it's a promise, by members of the local community, to help keep families intact while they get on their feet. It's not a hand out, but a hand up.
In the past, my daughter and I have put together packages of travel sized personal products. Some were gleaned from hotel stays or free samples, while others were purchased at Target or Walmart.
I'm putting packages together the weekend of December 14th & 15th.
We were wondering if any of you would like to participate by donating small items to be included. It doesn't matter if they are free samples, travel items, or snatched from hotels- as long as they are new, unopened items.
Deb commented that the post office has gotten particular about shipping liquids. I've never had a problem with UPS, I don't know about other shipping company policies.
When I originally mentioned this to Deb, I said I didn't want to be responsible for money from individuals, but there may be individuals who don't have the time to shop or don't want to waste their money on shipping. If someone prefers to send a gift card, I'll purchase items with it and send you the receipt.
If you'd like to add something to our little stock pile, please give me a heads up over at wheres.pough@gmail.com
Following is a list of items we're hoping to include. Many of the items are around a dollar a piece. A number of the items on the list are geared towards winter. 
It was 24 degrees here last night and this is only the beginning. As great as these shelters are, individuals who get assistance from them spend the majority of their day on the streets, in all sorts of weather.
And the list of items...
Gallon Ziplock bagsHand warmers (like people take hunting)pocket sized tissuesBand-aidsshampooconditionerbody washtoothpastedeodoranttooth flossmouthwashQtipswet-oneschapstickhand lotionknit hatsglovessocksplastic ponchossilver survival blankets (they aren't warm and fuzzy, but they work, can keep someone dry, and are small enough to put in your pocket.)disposable razors and shave creamtampons or maxi padsmini flashlights Walmart is selling fleece holiday blankets for $2.88 each.Cloth tote bags or small string backpacks
I have toothbrushes and Germex wipes already to start with.
A number of the consumers have children and babies- if anyone could get their hands on baby or children's toiletries, unopened happy meal toys, small toys or games, coloring books and packages of crayons- things to keep the little hands and minds occupied. Please nothing with a lot of small pieces.
I'd like to also do a snack bag for each individual, I'm thinking things like protein bars, granola bars. snack sized cookies or crackers, dried fruit, nuts. Things someone can carry in a pocket or purse.
Whether you can contribute or not, thank you so much for taking the time to read my post.
Fondly,Denise and Patti helping to keep Beckett's promise
