Luckily I’m prepared for hurricanes (sort of… LOL!!) so I pulled out my battery operated lanterns, lit up a Yankee Candle, and pulled out a teeny tin can sounding battery operated radio, and slept to the sound of that. Luckily radio stations were playing Christmas songs all night, so it was sort of peaceful anyway.
And now… I’m working on this post as we speak. 😉

And today’s newsletter sponsor. The author sent us 5 Fun Facts, and here’s a sneak peak at one of ’em, to titillate you. 😉 Check out the “Fun Facts” & the excerpt here. 🙂 ➔ Five Fun Facts and an excerpt of Soleil’s “Sisi’s Alpine Christmas”
3. Niccolò’s character showed up in my imagination sitting on his miraculous Andalusian stallion. I had very little impact. He came to me fully furnished, overpowering, and set the pace. I could only follow and write everything down as it took place in my consciousness. He is a loner, very emotional, and he has a giant heart. But Niccolò isn’t even aware that hidden from view he has also some dark, sinister and a bit disturbing traits. I find men like that fascinating.
HE HATES BEING MARRIED TO HER!!! GASP!! Both books recommended by “Kissedbyshadows” 😉 She says:
Hey Guys! I’ve just read Nothing in my Heart by Peri Elizabeth Scott and Arranged: A clean billionaire romance by Trisha Grace. Hero hates being married to h for some reason, but then there is a turning point. From then H starts to grovel.

Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!!! Bridgertons is out (Netflix)! I watch today and loved it!
Merry Christmas!! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday!
Kelly, glad you are loving Work for It.
So, what’s everyone reading these last few days of December? I’m finishing Good Girl, Bad Blood and I finally committed a good chunk of time last night and now I want to plow the rest of the way through. Stinking life duties, always in the way.
Or are you watching Bridgerton? I’ve not started bc I know I’ll want to dedicate my full attention and I can’t do that yet. I want to finish this book first.
I’ve watched the first two episodes of Bridgerton and really liking it. The talk on GR is that the whole series is really good (according to those who’ve already binged the lot LOL). The two main actors are HOT! (Simon and Anthony). It’s surprisingly saucy too. Don’t watch it with your kids, ladies!
I just reread the first Bridgerton book, The Duke and I, to get in the zone. It seems like the series is mainly based around the first book. I hope Netflix do more series for the other books.
Not really sure what else I feel like reading tbh. I hope there are some great new CRs in the new year. I like to switch it up and not read HR all the time.
I think I’ll start one now till the baby sleeps and then hope I can pull myself out to read.
I’m not really sure what I’m in the mood for next either. I’m on the lookout for what BOTM brings for January and hope that gives me some inspiration.
Oh, hey! Never His Girl by Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne came out the 26th! The sequel to The Golden Boys. ☺️
