Big Cocks and Shamrocks Giveaway Hop!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Book Lovers! Ok, not only is this going to sound wrong but it's going to feel wrong saying it, but here it goes... "Put your book down," there I said it. "Now, go get your Green Beer, grab a Big Cock, and some Shamrocks, it's time to watch a movie!!


First, here's a bit about making Green Beer!
1. 12oz beer 2. a drop of green food coloring Prep time: approx 2.5 seconds ~ Add one drop of green food coloring to a clear glass. Pour the beer into the glass. That's it!Some other Green beer ideas: A shot of fresh or powdered wheatgrass juice will not only turn your ale into a nice shade of green, but it's chock full of minerals and vitamins, which may make your hangover less likely to linger the next morning.Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has been a popular staple among health foodies for decades. It has more antioxidant power than chocolate and may be the most nutrient-dense food in the world. Some people love the taste, others find it's a little sushi-seaweed like.


Alrighty... now that you've got your beergrab a hold of that Big Cock  And Nestle into a bed of shamrocks
 (Possibly with this guy??) 
It's time to watch a little movie!! No worries, this movie won't keep you long.
I promise!

Excerpt
...but being left alone with Tex McCoy, the murderer, she found it difficult to summon her characteristic stubbornness. She glanced up at him and saw him gazing out the window. With him filling it, her normally decent-sized kitchen suddenly appeared small. It seemed to shrink even more when his eyes slithered from the window to her—so much so that it seemed to become devoid of oxygen, and her breath caught in her throat. He took a step toward her. At that point, her breathing seized altogether. His hand came out, nearing her face. Or was he going for her throat? She panicked and gasped for air as if his hands were already around her neck and squeezing. Was he going to…strangle her? She slapped his hand away. “Don’t you dare touch me!”He shoved his hand into the pocket of his jeans. His eyes, if at all possible, became darker, almost black, but his expression remained impassive. “You have dirt on your face,” he said flatly and remotely, as if he’d expected her impulsive reaction.“Oh.” Her hand went to her cheek, the one he had planned to innocently wipe off for her. She rubbed it, wondering if she’d overacted. What was she going to do when he freely walked around her house, took a shower in her bathroom, or slept in the bedroom below hers? Was she going to jump with every step he took? Was she going to lay awake all night? And the shower—her shower. Rainey decided thinking about Tex McCoy naked in the shower wasn’t a good idea. He was a killer. But he already served his time, right? Was he…reformed? Wait, was she really trying to rationalize here? It was manslaughter, not murder, right? And he did claim self-defense. Right. Then why’d he brutally stab Curtis Watson multiple times?The questions swarming through Rainey’s head were undoubtedly the same questions the jury had asked. Their answer to that question had earned Tex the maximum sentence of fifteen years. The unanswered question that remained was why Tex McCoy and Curtis Watson, a hired hand who’d worked at the McCoy ranch three years prior to the murder, had gotten into a brawl outside of the bar in the first place, the scuffle that eventually led to Curtis’s death.For the sake of her son, Rainey had to believe Tex was reformed. She had to trust he had no other choice and that he had a damn good reason for killing Curtis Watson.“Uh, I’ll show you to your room,” she said, diverting her eyes from his so she could start down the hallway. She couldn’t hear him behind her. She glanced over her shoulder. He was right there, near and looming, with all the prowess and silent pursuit of some sly, predatory panther. Her heart slammed into her chest wall. She straightened her back, valiantly suffering through another panic attack. When she reached the spare bedroom, she opened the door and walked in. “This used to be my grandmother’s room. Nobody’s stayed in here since she died, but it has a queen-sized bed, an empty dresser…” She stopped and turned, practically bumping into him. Swallowing her insistent fear, she took a step back. “You do have clothes, don’t you? I, um…well, I don’t see any luggage or a duffle bag.”“Yeah, I have clothes,” he said and moved forward, recapturing the distance she’d intentionally placed between them. “My things will be dropped off later.”“Oh,” she breathed, backpedaling until she hit the wall. “Good.” Her body went still. He was standing just inches from her. He wasn’t touching her, but she felt pinned against the wall just the same.He lifted his hands and placed them alongside her head, resting them on the wall. Now, she was literally pinned. His eyes drifted to her mouth, and every nerve trembled from the inside out. She wanted to run. Her breathing seized, and her heart had stopped midbeat. Fear was winning.He leaned forward, and his dark lashes lifted until his eyes met hers. “You look scared,” he said, in a voice so low, ominous, and deep that it shook her insides.She stood there, speechless.Ever so slightly, like his menacing approach, his lip curled up. “That’s good,” he said, swaying dangerously closer. “You should be, Rainey Ann.” His eyes ran over her face. “In fact, you’d better take that fear and hold it real close.”His hand came from the wall, dark lashes lowering once more. He gazed at her lips. They were quivering, but at that moment, Rainey couldn’t have cared less if he saw it. She was terrified. Warm fingers scraped her shoulder, slithered up her nape, and gripped around her neck. His fingers indented her skin, and being strangled came back to mind.“Or,” he said, tilting in toward her ear, their bodies bordering lethal contact, “you could give in to that fear right now and scream...”

Heartbreaker Blog Hop... Broken Heart Syndrome

 Who taught you how to 
BREAK  a HEART?Who exposed you to the Broken Heart Syndrome?

Per the Mayo Clinic (I love Google) Broken Heart Syndrome is when a part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn't pump well, while the remainder of the heart functions normally.The symptoms of broken heart syndrome are treatable, and it usually reverses itself in about a week.
It's almost the same as having your heart broken by someone you love. A part of you malfunctions, while the rest of you continues to work. However, it may take a little longer than a week to heal from it. Although, you may be tempted to do the below, what are some safe remedies for a Broken Heart?  

Broken heart syndrome is caused by stressful situations. 
A Broken heart is caused by someone b etter known as a Heartbreaker.
Here's an example of one of them!! Agent T. Ryker (At least this is what he looks like in mind's eye. Your version might be a tad different :) [image error]
Agent T. Ryker prides himself on his discipline—being a product of a rapist kind of does that to a guy. Goal oriented, Juliana Pratt is on a mission to satisfy the curse passed down to her by her wanton mother.
Will Juliana be able to push Agent T. Ryker's stubborn discipline over the edge? 
Or will the delectable agent maintain control, take what he wants, and crush not only Juliana's heart but also her mission— leaving her hungry “curse” famished forever?
Here's a little peek of Agent T. Ryker teaching Juliana how to break a heart...
Ana marched through the house until she arrived at the library, where she found Ryker standing by the window. “You!”He glanced over at her, then spun around just in time to catch the blow she landed across his face.“You—you bastard!”He didn’t try to defend himself. He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he gallantly took the slap like a man. In fact, a sly grin developed beneath his haughty expression. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Oh, come on, Juliana,” he said harshly. “You can do better than that.”Enraged, her body trembled. “You fucking son-of-a bitch!” Unable to control her rage, her hurt, she hit him again across the cheek, harder this time. “I—” Tears welled to her eyes, and a lump began to form in her throat. She shoved at his unswayable, smug posture with her hands. “I trusted you!” “Perhaps that was your first mistake." His words grated between thinned, tight lips...
"...I was falling for you, and I thought you felt something for me, too, but—” Her voice cracked. “But you were only using me for your own personal gain!”
He smiled, but the grin didn’t reach his cynical eyes. “Falling for me?” He chuckled. “Princess, I’m afraid that would have been your second mistake..."

Way too fast! You search for your car only to discover that it's buried in the snow! You run to the front door, turn the knob, and push. It won't budge! Your heart races as you realize that you are SNOWBOUND!! 
And then... he comes waltzing in the room with a fresh bottle of wine and that sexy little smile... and you relax as he refills your glass.

Okay. So this hot guy may not be the man you're trapped with but what (or who) might be? What would you need (or want) if you were Snowbound? 
Here's my needs... in the order that I would want them!



Leave a comment for a chance to win!What is the Prize? Hmm... I can't give you the wine (its illegal to send via the postal service). The guy, well he's not going anywhere. The bed? Sorry, I'm gonna need that too. But I really want to share! Oh, I know!

Here's a bit about the eBook I will be giving away.
The Forbidden Claim
US Marshall Jinx Collins is an outspoken, free-spirited, and fearless woman. It’s that same fearlessness, however, that tends to get her into trouble. Jinx questions her life prior to being adopted. When those questions lead her to a murderer who’s about to be transported into the witness protection program, Jinx decides to kidnap him to see if she can uncover the truth. Jed Kane has worked undercover in the human trafficking ring for years. When Jed accepts a job to disguise himself as one of his worst enemies and take a ride from the correctional facility to a secured location, he certainly had not planned on being abducted by Jinx Collins. Jed’s uncertain as to how he feels about her touchy-feely hands and loose lips—unsure if they irritate him or if they are awakening his badly behaving desires. Jed knows he must first find out what the fanatical little lady wants with a murderer before he can act on whatever he’s feeling.Straight away Jinx is attracted to the resilient and enticing Jed Kane—the only man who hasn’t backed down from her candor. While Jinx discovers that the questionable criminal may be able to assist her in finding out the truth about her past, Jed vows to save Jinx from her daring self. Once Jinx starts to understand what Jed feels for her—he wants to own her—she demands that he succumb to the raging frenzy. Jed allows himself to seduce her body, submitting himself to that dominant need. But haunted by a world of unlawful ownership, Jed forbids his cold heart to stake its dangerous claim on Jinx Collins.Locked away in a dark basement, a little boy is waiting to be rescued—and Jinx’s past holds the key to his prison. If Jinx can finally find the truth which holds her fears, and if Jed can forgive himself for his past, then not only might they be able to save the boy, but they might also discover that their carnal desires really derive from their own prison... an inescapable prison of love... Click for Excerpt
