He was my first love, my first kiss, and my first heartbreak, from which I never truly healed. Kane was once the man of my dreams, on paper—strong, handsome, and a complete charmer. But the problem is, he has never given a damn about anyone but himself. I’ve never witnessed a desperate man until Kane knocked on my door with literally the proposal of a lifetime. I must admit, it’s ironic he’s come to me given the way things ended between us...”

How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor? When the real owner finds me and offers me a different job—being his fake boyfriend on a cruise through the British Virgin Islands to tempt Prescott to reveal his cheating ways—that’s when I make my second mistake: I agree…“

The last few years haven’t been easy for her, and all she is focused on is finishing college and finding a job. The last distraction she needs is a guy. Especially not one with a reputation like Spence Hurley’s. Still, there’s something about him she can’t resist.

The best of the best. Too bad he turned out to be an egotistical jerk. Mere hours into my first day, I realized that the man I had idolized for years didn’t live up to the hype. He was rude, arrogant, and totally full of… himself. It was clear that my presence bothered him, that I was nothing more than an irritation…”

Happy belated birthday Maryse!!
I just finished Midnight Sun. I had been savoring it and trying to stretch it out. Of course it was absolutely amazing to be back in that world from Edward’s pov. The most swoony thing ever. I was bummed that it ended in same exact place Twilight did. For some strange reason, I thought it was also going to have New Moon stuff in it…in particular what Edward did during the whole separation. I might need to reread New Moon now.
I hear she’s going to be writing two more books mostly focused on Renesmee
I don’t know how I feel about that. I went with the flow on the story line but a Renesmee/Jacob romance? 😬
I feel you!! I wish she’d do New Moon from his POV but apparently she barely survived being in his head for MS!
1. Today is my castle getaway, the murder mystery dinner as well. I’m off soon!!
2. Have several hours to read now, how will I choose what to devour??
3. Eating birthday cake for breakfast. 😜
Drowning in Stars is really good so far. I’m only halfway through it though…
Beautiful cover! You’ll have to keep me updated. I ended up reading The Guest List. It just fits the scene too well not to try it out. So far, so good.
The murder mystery dinner sounds fun! Have a great time at the castle!
1. I dug out my winter rain coat and went out in the sideways rain and wind at 3am to close the patio umbrellas I’d left open and the SECOND I came inside it stopped. 🙄
2. We’re having leftover pulled pork tonight but tomorrow I’m making burgers with that yummy Butcher Box ground beef and topping them with the jarred roasted red peppers I’m obsessed with, smoked havarti, and butter leaf lettuce.
3. I still haven’t watched pt 2 of Gabriel’s Inferno. Might have to do that tonight!
I think I’m making a meatloaf with the ButcherBox ground beef this weekend…
And I still need to watch Gabriel’s Inferno 2… too. <--- 😂
I’ve done meatloaf with it and it was amazing! I used Emeril’s recipe (that I altered) with 1 lb butcher box beef plus a half pound of ground pork and a half pound ground Italian sausage. It was to die for!
I just finished prepping pot roast and it’s now in crockpot! Trying to think of meal ideas for the rest of the week. I’m finally back to eating and cooking normally…I have been sick (non covid) the last few weeks but much better now. I need to do more with my instant pot. I’m thinking maybe something mexican with chicken breast?
I heard there will be more books in the Twilight world…I too am not sure how I feel about it centering around Renesme. Whatever it is, I hope it doesn’t take years to be released.
Tasha, have fun at your castle thing. I can’t wait to hear about it. Leftover birthday cake is the best. 😋
I just saw that This Is So Happening by Amelia Kingston came out recently. I LOVED the first book in this series So That Got Weird. I’m pretty sure I’ve recommended it before but it’s so good it’s worth another mention. I guess I know what I’m reading today!
OH YES!!! I remember, and then so many people that read So That Got Weird loved it too!!
Is this new one part of that series, do you know?
Yes, it looks like it’s a new one in that series. It says So Far, So Good series behind it in amazon.
YAY!!!!!! I’m going to one-click it now. Thank you Ashley!!! 😀
It also looks like the first book is on sale. 😀
Happy Birthday Maryse!!! So glad to hear you had a great weekend!!
Thank you Michele!!! 😀 Fun and fabulous!!
1. Went to read Homecoming, the new Dartmoor book, and I realised I haven’t read Lone Star yet, which came out a few months ago. So, I’ve started Lone Star. LOL. Don’t know how that happened.
2. Having pork chops tonight, baked with apple, onion, sage and breadcrumbs on top. Yum.
3. Made bread in my bread making machine yesterday and it rose so super-high it almost touched the lid. What???? The loaf turned out higher than it’s wide so I had to cut it sideways. LOL. I’m not sure why it rose so high. The only thing I can think of is that when I added the water it was a little bit warmer than lukewarm. *shrugs*
Jan, I missed that Lone Star release too! I only realized it existed when Homecoming went live and I was updating the series reading order list. 😏
Your pork chops sound like heaven to me!!!!
Just clicked Heart Bones. I also ate leftover birthday homemade ice cream for breakfast and lunch. Trying not to feel to guilty. I am going to try the meatloaf you all have been talking about. I love to listen to audible while hiking. My last 3 night 4 day trip allowed me great time to listen and enjoy. Finished L.J. Shen Dirty Headlines and Scandalous.Both a fun summer read I have been on a L.J. Shin listening streak all summer.
I need to start hiking. I did it earlier this summer and got covered in ticks. But I had SO much fun, and it was deep in the woods where the temperature was fresh and not as hot as on the trail.
