Beard of the Day

Today I'm chatting with Mandi at Smexy Books about hunky, hairy guys in romance. Stop by and say hello! Mandi loves cowboys, so I decided to post this scruff-diddly-icious photo of Tim Daly from The Outsider. Nice. I'll bet his mustache twitches just fine.
Happy Hairy Friday To All,Penelope

Quickie Kindle Reviews: Forbidden Thunder, Seducing Simon and Not Just Make Believe

Here are three mini-reviews of e-books I've read on my kindle recently.
Forbidden Thunder by Kathleen Lash
This is the most bizarre combination of topics in a romance novel I have read in my life. An in-depth look at the trucking and towing industry with romance. Hee hee....sounds crazy? Well, for some bizarre and unknown reason I was really digging it! I think I could start my own trucking company right now after all of the stuff I learned reading this book. There is WAY too much detail about ...

Quickie Reviews: Skin Game by Ava Gray

Skin Game by Ava Gray
Have you ever eaten something spicy that started out with just a hint of heat and you're thinking...Well, that's not too bad....and then the spice starts to really kick in, and after a couple of minutes you're sweating and guzzling a gallon of milk? Well, that's my best analogy for Ava Gray's Skin Game. Slow burn, finished strong. And I do mean strong. Holy Hell, this woman can write. Wasn't sure I loved it when it started out. The characters seemed interesting, but it's...

Review of Fired Up by Jayne Ann Krentz

Fired Up by Jayne Ann Krentz
Wow! JAK has fired off another awesome Arcane Novel! Fired Up is an incredibly well-paced, fascinating paranormal romantic suspense. Even though the romance is the least well-developed part of this book, and the characters are not fleshed out as well as I usually like, I was completely, happily absorbed by this story. JAK is fabulous at weaving together separate story lines and building the tension. I love how she is jumping around in history, and connecting the...

Review of Street Game by Christine Feehan

Street Game by Christine Feehan
First let me say that this book broke me out of my recent reading funk. Although it was uneven in certain spots, overall this was a very enjoyable book. In fact, for the first time in a very long time, I became so absorbed in this story, that I forgot I was reading. It was only when my family started harassing me for dinner (for the love of God, couldn't they go to McDonald's or something??), that I was popped back into reality.
Street Game is the latest...

Beard of the Day

I personally think Viggo Mortensen is one of the hottest actors around. Just look at that scruff. He is an alpha male all the way. Yay for alphas!
I have read quite a few books on my new kindle. However, I don't feel like writing any reviews since they were okay, not stellar. I am having a problem with the "light" BDSM erotica stories. My feeling is that most of the authors jumping into this genre are using the BDSM as a titillation device, without really understanding the lifestyle and...

I'm Hangin' With Steve...You Know, Stephen King.

Updates from the Peanut Gallery....
1) I got a kindle for Christmas. Hee hee hee heeeeeee..... I am in love. I will never buy a print book again. My husband gets big-time brownie points for the next decade.
2) Corollary to number 1: Gotta work on my kindle addiction. Sigh.
3) Much to my surprise, my debut novel Sweet Inspiration is cropping up on some bestseller lists. Seriously, seeing my half-naked Santa book cover next to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol is pretty hilarious. And totally cool. And...
