Reader Question – The historical romance book about the rival clans and the Hero kidnaps her…

By 8 Comments

Tooba needs our book help! Historical romance lovers, this one’s for you! 😀 Actually… I totally remember reading a book like this maybe in anywhere from 2009 to 2011? I remember the kidnap scene, and I almost want to say it’s a Nora Roberts book?

Or was it a movie I watched? The scene is so clear in my head, and I was so excited and titillated about that audacity! LOL!!!

But I haven’t read many Historical Romances so how could it be that I might have actually read THIS one? Now I’m dying to know, too!!! read more

Black Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 11-27-2020

By 8 Comments

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! 😀 I hope you all had a wonderful, cozy and peaceful day yesterday. I did, and I am so thankful for it. It’s time for our Friday finds and that will include all the amazing Black Friday deals I find too. 🙂

This list will be updated and added to throughout the day so keep checking back.

BLACK FRIDAY SALES THAT MAKE ME SQUEEEE!!

➔➔➔➔ You can check out ALL the Amazon BLACK FRIDAY DEALS 😉 here. And these are my favorites (so far):

Here’s my “Ring Doorbell” in the Doorbell Boa. 🙂

All-new Ring Video Doorbell – 1080p HD video <— I JUST GOT THIS ONE!!!! I bought it on Prime Day, so if you missed this amazing deal, now is your chance. And here’s the thing!! I didn’t even officially mount it, or wire it in – though that was my original intention). I’m running it on its battery (it’s been a month now. Over a month?) and it’s still at 78% battery power. HOLY. MOLY. It will be another couple of months before I need to recharge it at this rate). And here’s how I have it hooked to my front door. With a “Doorbell Boa” (I just drop my Ring doorbell in, and the unit clips onto my door – no drilling needed). It only fits if the door opens inwards (which mine does) and I LOVE IT. Here’s the Doorbell Boa on Amazon.

  • Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips 20 Treatments + Crest 3D White 1 Hour Express Whitestrips 2 Treatments – Teeth Whitening Kit <— I’m excited!!! I always find these so expensive, but here’s a Prime Day Deal of the Day and there are TONS of reviews and SO GOOD. Plus photos to compare!! I bought ’em!!! I’ll let you know what I think. I can’t wait to start.
  • SAMSONITE LUGGAGE!!! <— Back on sale, and I have one of the smaller ones (black and shiny) that I’ve had since… ohhh… ? I dunno. 10 or 15 years now? My father bought it for me for Christmas, and it’s still in excellent condition, rolls smooth as anything, and I used it last weekend on my trip to the Keys. All sorts of pockets and compartments to “live comfortably” out of. 🙂 P.S. OMG HOW CUTE ARE THESE??? American Tourister Disney Hardside Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Minnie Mouse Red Bow, 2-Piece Set and these.
  • AMAZON Fire TV Stick 4K!! <— OMG what a price. I couldn’t live without mine and I love that I can just talk into the remote what show (or movie) I want, and it pulls up my options for me!! BEST. THING. EVER!!!
  • iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum-Wi-Fi Connectivity <— HOLY MOLY MEGA DEAL!!!! My Roomba 614 (a VERY BASIC model – no wifi or cool app for it) is still going strong after years of weekly use, and was THE bargain find when I bought it for Black Friday a few years ago (I paid $224.99 for it at Best Buy)!!! And yet… THIS better one on Black Friday sale today is even better than mine, AND. CHEAPER. IF you want the better, new models, that ARE ALSO ON Black Friday SALE… here you go. 😉 Oh… and the super-luxurious self-emptying ones are on Black Friday sale too! 
  • THE BIG ONE <— soft HUGE throw blanket at Kohl’s. Every year I end up getting some (for me, my dogs, or my loved ones), and I really don’t need anymore. But I still can’t help looking through all of the designs in case I MUST HAVE one. 😉

    • TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND TO READ FOR THE WEEKEND :D !!

    ➔➔➔ TWO MONTHS FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED DEAL!!! EXTENDED THROUGH DECEMBER ☃️🎄🎄☃️!!! <— If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance. WE ARE LOVING IT!  read more

    Reader Question – The book about the hero that sees his ex-wife at the airport with a 4 year old boy…

    By 21 Comments

    Allissa is looking for this one! Ohhhh another crazy-sounding, intense, marital strife (second chance romance???) possibly-Hinovel story!!!!!!

    The other one that I posted is one of my most searched for “reader questions” in ALL of my reader questions, and I have a feeling this one will be, too.

    She asks:

    I have been trying to track down the original Facebook post I scrolled past this afternoon regarding this story…

    It started out with the intro of them getting divorced, but the guy seeing his ex wife in the airport with a 4 year old boy and demanding the airport be shut down… read more

    Sara Ney – Trophy Boyfriends Series Reading Order

    By Leave a Comment

    OH THIS SPORTS ROMANCE SERIES sounds like SO much fun (and unique… the sports stars all have something “special” – and not “romance-typical” – about ’em)!! Plus, I’ve read this author before and loved her humor!

    About book #1:

    “Hard pass.”

    That’s what the last girl I slept with said when she got her first sober glimpse of me. She laughed, walked out of my penthouse—and I never saw her again. It doesn’t matter that I’m a rich, professional athlete; what mattered was my face. read more
