How Bad Do You Want It???
“This is very complicated.”
He cups my head again and kisses me, deeply, passionately,
until his forehead rests against mine. “Does that feel complicated? We’ll work it out. Together, Emily.” And for several seconds we just breathe together and I think, Maybe I can do this. Maybe he’s the light at the end of what has been a dark tunnel.

Goodreads Giveaway + Teaser
His hand curls around mine and he drags it to his knee, and the way he’s looking at me, like the rest of the room, no, the rest of the world, doesn’t exist, steals my breath. I haven’t allowed anyone to really look at me in a very long time.
“Emily,” he says, doing whatever he does to turn my name into a sin that seduces rather than destroys me.
“Shane,” I manage, but just barely.
“Did you say yes to dinner because you didn’t want to be alone?”
I am not sure where he is going with this, if...

#TBT Harry Potter + J.K. Rowling Reveals New Wizard Houses
Can you believe it’s been 15 years since Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone movie came out? I love the fact that JK Rowling had kids of all ages reading. It’s so important for children to read. I thank all of my fans for sharing their love of reading when you read my books. Kids see adults reading and want to read too. While I don’t recommend you share my books with the kiddos, the window scenes are for adults only, LOL, Harry Potter is a great place to start chapter books. It’s also grea...

Queen Of The South Hottie Day
Did you catch the new USA television series QUEEN OF THE SOUTH? If you did then you realize why we have Jon-Michael Ecker as today’s hottie. If you haven’t seen the show yet I think its worth a try. This show even though on USA is very sexy and violent. Definitely not a movie you want kids in the room for. The movie is based on a book by Arturo Perez-Reverte. For more info on the show click on the link above.

Summer Reads and Decor idea
If your visiting this blog you obviously enjoy reading. If you’re like most people you look for great spots to relax while you read. The photo above is a fairly inexpensive backyard makeover. The 44’s in the pots allow for you to add height to your garden and a spot to add lighting and flowers. The firepit and chairs make a great spot for you to sit and read alone or spend quality time with friends and family. The last thing to make this spot perfect, why books of course. If you have not re...
