Sweet Thing <— My personal “pick of the week” I consider an absolute must-read . I even 5-star-plus’ed it. Bargain priced, but whether it was or not, I LOVED IT and would have suggested it any day! Most of you, of course already know this, ’cause I raved about it in my review yesterday, but just in case you missed it, here it is: (my review). LOVED it, and I’m happy I read this before UnBeautifully, ’cause I’m ready for the hardcore stuff, now.

An exclusive excerpt of Cora Carmack’s upcoming book “Faking It”…
Y’all know I LOVED “Losing It” (Cora Carmack’s sexy college student/teacher read – check out my review, and you’ll see ;)). The attraction, teasing, resisting and angst (and the stolen & sweet moments) were just enough to keep me swooning and delightfully nervous. And when I found out she was writing a second book and turning this into a series? I. Was. THRILLED!!!
Book #2 is entitled Faking It and is expected to be released on June 4th. That is SOON, people!!! 😀
Book Review – Sweet Thing by Renee Carlino
Sweet Thing: A Novel
<— THIS!!!!! 5 stars!!!! This is what I’ve been craving, waiting for… wanting, needing to read for weeks. Months. This was it. This was the one I was referring to, when I would bemoan that I wished I could find another book that would make me crazy for it. Oh, I mean… don’t get me wrong. I’ve read some pretty fantastic reads this year that I’ve loved and will easily make my best of 2013 list, but THIS is the one that just might make the top.
Madeline Sheehan – Undeniable Series Reading Order
SUNDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! THE ONE WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IS LIVE!!!!!!!! Undeserving (Undeniable Book 5) ➔➔➔➔➔➔➔➔➔➔
And OMG I LOVE this blurb!!! This is exactly the hard-luck love story that I can’t resist! Preacher and Debbie!! And here is a fun, introspective note from the author about this one:
“Undeserving is a book I’ve been wanting to write from the beginning of the Undeniable series–a story that has weighed heavy on my mind for years. It’s a story that I wrote over and over again, and was always left feeling unsatisfied, never feeling that I’d done it justice.
A Hero2Hero dialogue between Jack and Shane From “Feel the Heat” and “Tempting the Billionaire”…
Here’s a little something fun from authors Kate Meader (Feel the Heat (Hot In the Kitchen) and Jessica Lemmon (Tempting the Billionaire (Love in the Balance).
They’ve created a Hero2Hero dialogue between their two male characters, Jack and Shane. Let’s see what these guys are up to. I have a feeling they’re both alphas and there just might be too many “cooks” in the kitchen. 😉
In a kitchen, somewhere in the fictional intersection of Jessica Lemmon’s Tempting the Billionaire and Kate Meader’s Feel the Heat . . .
Shane August: Jack Kilroy. A Brit with an Irish-sounding name who cooks French food, lives in New York, and dates American soap actresses. Quite the rap sheet.
Jack Kilroy: Sounds like you’re enjoying immensely that subscription to People magazine, August.
Shane: *cocks eyebrow* Crickitt is a fan of your cooking show, Jack of All Trades.
Jack: Ah, the lovely Crickitt. How is she?
Shane: Taken.
Jack: *Arrogant smirk of recognition* Simmer down, mate. Now what were we talking about again? Oh, right. Well, my humble origins on the rough streets of Brixton took me from car-stealing to family court to kitchen probation to Paris where I got my culinary training. Once I had opened several restaurants in the UK and paid my dues on morning TV segments where I regularly demonstrated how to make coq au vin and beef bourguignon in three minutes, it was only a matter of time before I conquered the States.
Shane: Conquered the States? Who are you, one of the Beatles?
Jack: With better hair. As for the soap actress, I’d rather not go there. She’s already said enough on that topic to last a lifetime. *grimaces*
Shane: Yeah. You have a hard time staying out of the headlines, Kilroy. Crickitt said you got caught with your hands all over an Italian girl. *shakes head* It’s not good, man.
Jack: Crickitt sounds like one of my biggest fans. When we chatted earlier, she never let on—
Shane: Watch it. *holds up cheese grater* I know how to use this. *rests grater on counter* I also recognize avoidance when I hear it.
Jack: Don’t worry that billionaire brain of yours, August. I only have eyes for one gorgeous, hot-as-a-griddle Italian woman. Lili’s got a smart mouth, a wicked throwing arm, and she looks like dynamite in a Wonder Woman costume.
Shane: *raises hands* TMI.
Jack: And she’d better watch out because I’m gunning for her sweet Italian curves.
Shane: Now who needs to “simmer down”, mate?
Jack: Touché. *grins wryly* So are we doing this? Crickitt said you bake, but if you can’t stand the heat…
Shane: Expecting me to bow out gracefully? Sorry. Self-made men don’t shrink from a challenge. And anyway, I already have the girl. *reaches for the stand mixer* Pay attention, Kilroy, you might learn something.
*Share smug smiles*
