Exclusive excerpt of Reclaiming Izabel and a Signed Book and $50 Gift Card Giveaway!!

By 49 Comments

<— MARITAL STRIFE ANGST ALERT!!! Reclaiming Izabel (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) went live just a few days ago, and to celebrate, author Victoria Paige is sponsoring this week’s newsletter AND she’s having a giveaway right here on the blog.

She describes it as:

“…a marriage-in-trouble, back-from-the-dead military suspense store and early reviews say it’s an angsty-emotional one… ;)”

And she gave me the ultimate, and I MEAN ULTIMATE, excerpt that got me right in the “feels”. Short and sweet and oh SO emotional, and on this alone, I wanna read it. 😀 The author says:

“My choice of an excerpt is not really a spoiler, but I think it builds the angst for what readers know is about to come. ;)”

YESSSS!!! And here it is:

“But I couldn’t wait, Iza.” Not letting go of her hands, he knelt in front of her. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears and she held back the sob that rose to her throat when she realized what he was doing. “Every time I’m away from you it’s as if I’m missing a limb. I can’t leave for another mission without worrying someone is going to steal you away from me.” At her confused gasp, he added, “I’m an insecure son of a bitch when it comes to you. Can’t help it, don’t wanna help it, deal with it.”
At her annoyed huff, he sighed. “Before I mess this up further.” He reached into his pocket and held the ring he’d purchased weeks ago.
“Marry me.” He watched the tears spill from her eyes and his own heart expanded to the point of exploding. “I’m soul-deep in love with you. I never understood what that meant until you. So marry me, Iza, make me the happiest damned bastard on the planet.”
That memory was like a faded photograph, but he never forgot how he felt that day she said yes.
OOOOOOMPH!!!!
And now for the giveaway!

Monday Earlybird Book Releases + some that are going live at midnight! 11-19-18

By 35 Comments

Happy Monday!!! It’s time again to start the new week and Thanksgiving is almost here and then crazy fun (or just plain crazy) Black Friday!! 😀 YAY US!! And here are the early bird book releases of the day (I’ll add more as they go live). 😀
Three things!
1.) I made pan fried Pork Tenderloins with preserved lemons – super salty and delicious (oh and green bell peppers, onions & mushrooms even though the real recipe only calls for onions – I like more veggies!!) this weekend, in a butter-sage-vermouth sauce. SO. FREAKING. DELICIOUS. It’s a french dish called “Filet Mignon de Porc aux Citrons Confits”. P.S. Here’s a quick video I made of it simmering in the sauce (AND the recipe if you want to go for it).

Back when my sister was first teaching me how to make “Preserved Lemons”

2.) I make my own preserved lemons (my sister taught me) and it’s so easy. Just cut a washed lemon in quarters (peel and all), shove it down into mason jar, squeezing the juices out into the jar as you go, pour kosher salt all over it, then another layer with another lemon and so on. Left in the fridge the lemons soak up all their own juices and salt and become so tender and the peel gets an almost translucence to it, and now you can use them whole in recipes and as garnish. SO yummy! And if you’re not in the mood to make them and wait for them to “do their thing” (takes a few weeks to months), you can get a jar on Amazon!
3.) I made more cute candles on Saturday! It’s such a calming and peaceful hobby. This time I made blueberry muffin scented ones!!

P.S.!!! Here’s the photo from one of Jenn’s three things that she wanted to share with us. OH. MY. HEART!!!
Jenn: oh and three things for me…hmmm

Jenn: Thank you so much he just melts my heart-❤️him

1-Yesterday was my Dad’s BDAY-he is 67! Every year I feel blessed for another year with him. He is one of 6 and out of his 5 siblings he has lived the longest. We lost my Aunt in 1994 (his oldest sister) at 46 years old, and we lost my two Uncles (his only two brothers oldest and youngest) at 61(2011) and 55 (2017). It is so freaking scary. He has two sisters both younger them him still with us. I know I should not think about this but I feel so bad for him. He lost both his parents young too my Grandpa at 55 (I was so young when he died and the only thing I remember is he called me “Jenny Penny” and my Grandma at 67 (we share the same bday, so out of 40 something grand kids I was her favorite :-) and she got to name me too) So sorry for all that just feel extra emotional this morning from sharing his day yesterday.

W. Winters – Merciless Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

The series is complete and Nancy LOVED it!

Nancy: ENDLESS (Merciless Book 4) is the last book in the series, but is the absolute best book in the series. Merciless, Heartless, Breathless, lead up to Endless. That this is the thrilling ending of the series is what makes it the best book of the bunch.
What an ending to the series! Willow Winters has the most ‘powerful’ writing that I have read in I don’t remember when. From page one till the dramatic end, this book held my attention.

About book #1:

I should’ve known she would ruin me the moment I saw her.
Women like her are made to destroy men like me.
I couldn’t resist her though.
Given to me to start a war; I was too eager to accept.
But I didn’t know what she’d do to me. That she would change everything.
She sees through me in a way no one else ever has.
Her innocence and vulnerability make me weak for her and I hate it.
I know better than to give in to temptation.
A ruthless man doesn’t let a soul close to him.
A cold-hearted man doesn’t risk anything for anyone.
A powerful man with a beautiful woman at his mercy … he doesn’t fall for her.
