Jason Edding's loss reminded me of something

Apparently Author Jason Edding's life partner has passed away. I admit I do not know him, but I did leave a message of support for him during this horrible time.
I'm going to publish the link here and on goodreads if any of our friends are interested in leaving him a message.

His loss has reminded me to tell all of you something. I want to tell all of you, thank you for being such fabulous friends and Jack and I adore all of you. We appreciate the love and support you've give us this past year. We've been lucky to to have all of you in our life. Go hug and kiss the ones you love. I know I am, even the worthless dogs.

Have a Fabulous Day Today!

This week has gone by semi-fast. Now, that my BFF will be out of town for the rest of the week, I'm sure time will slow down and drag. LOL!

Monday Jack and I went out to eat and to a piano bar afterward. Now, I like to cook, but I LOVE eating out! There's no mess to clean up and I get to eat things I normally don't cook. I'm more of a Southern style Cook. So, when Jack says "Honey, lets go eat Mexican." I'm game.

The Piano bar was fun. There wasn't much of a crowd, and the music was fab. Jack and I felt comfortable enough to be affectionate there, and that's always nice. It's really good to be able to hold his hand, or give him a sweet kiss. We don't always feel safe to do that and the few people at the bar could have cared less, so that made our experience better.

I made Chicken and Dumplings last night, along with Mac and Cheese. After we ate we read Another Dream by Addison Albright, watched Dancing with the Stars. (Yes...I admit it's the ONE show I adore to watch) and had a fabulous time just hanging around each other. You would think after all of these years together, we wouldn't have anything to talk about, or get tired of each other, but for us it's just not the case. I love him now more than I did all those years ago. Maybe that's what true love is about. As you get to know your mate or even your friends, the love you have for them grows as time goes by...at least I think it does.

Today is the first day of Shawn's Vacation. GO HER for pampering herself and doing something for HER for a change! I miss her like crazy, but I'm happy she's treating herself.

I want all of my friends to have a fabulous day today! In honor of my BFF and as a treat for all of us, I give you more eye candy of Ashtyn Long. YUM! He'll be gracing my post all week. If we can't have Shawn, we'll at least get to drool over Ashtyn instead!

MUAH!

We'll Miss Our Shawn

We are all going to have to face the dilemma of my BFF and our favorite writer, Shawn, being away for most of the week. What shall we do?


She's to have way too much fun in Vegas kicking those pretty shockingly pink toenails up and having a truly scandalous time while she's there. I'll be sending her 'I miss you, BFF' notes on a daily basis and looking at past blog posts she's written. (Kev's free stories come to mind...yum!) All I know is she better regale us with all of her adventures, and of course, tell us how many Elvis impersonators she sees!


GO YOU! Angel Face! Have a Fabulous time! You deserve it!

I'll miss you, Gorgeous!

MUAH!

Shawn's Barnaby and Lily's Meme

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Since I have no idea who MIZB is, but I do know our lovely Lil and she encouraged everyone to play along, I thought I would do this one for fun! Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

MY TEASER WILL COME FROM THE BOOK "TALK DIRTY TO ME" BY JACK GREENE



As usual I'm an overachiever...imagine that! I picked paragraphs instead of just a sentence. LOL.

From Page 16

It was him. Casey. The beautiful man from the website. It had to be. He’d
never seen a man so perfect. His hair was tied back in a ponytail, but it was long,
past his shoulders. His cheekbones were amazing, his eyes big and expressive,
and rimmed with just a hint of black eyeliner. His lips were full and glossy. He
was slender and feminine but definitely a man. He wore tight black jeans and a
snug red t-shirt. The jeans were tucked into tall black combat boots. He was
shorter than Adam by a couple of inches. He looked Adam up and down.

From Page 20


Adam panted now, and slowly he brought his hands up, one settling on
Casey’s hip and the other at the back of his neck. He drew Casey’s slender form
against him gently, then leaned in to kiss him. Casey met him halfway, and
Adam felt the soft sigh of his breath before their lips touched.
Um...yeah, I'll be reading that book today. Casey sounds delicious! Bet Handsome will want to read this one too! Speaking of sexy heroes, OMG! I adored Shawn's Barnaby! As I told Shawn, Kevin will always be my favorite of hers that she's written, but Barnaby is almost as adorable and sexy. YUM! Of course, thinking of Barnaby I immediately think of Shawn's Ashtyn (I can't wait to read her interview with him!) and I thought I would post a picture of him today and probably tomorrow. Really the man is quite yummy! The picture I posted looks exactly how I pictured Shawn's Barnaby to be. Those of you who've read it...what do you think?

If you haven't read Only for Him, I encourage you to stop what you're reading and treat yourself to a truly fabulous story!

Have a fabulous day my friends! MUAH!

Handsome was right...

It's a very special day today. Once year ago, Shawn and I started talking outside the normal goodreads comments. She had read a book that was disturbing to say the least which led us to start a conversation about it. From there it just came natural for us to become friends.

It's been a fabulous year filled with a friendship that I never thought I would have. I've been very lucky to have met her and I have Jack and that author to thank. Jack practically had to force me to join Goodreads, as it turns out he was right. I did make fabulous friends that I have come to love, but most of all I met the best friend I could ever ask for.

So thank you, Jack, once again you were right, but don't tell anybody! MUAH!

As a present to both Shawn and I, AND the fact that Barnaby's book is out this weekend...I had to post a picture of Ashtyn to celebrate. YUM!


Happy Anniversary, Angel Face! MUAH!

What a week we've had!

This has been an interesting week!

Jack has been sick, but as of this morning is feeling much better and will be returning to work. GO HIM! I think he's been getting stir crazy staying in bed, but I WILL share that he enjoys the constant hovering he's received by me. LOL!

Our Ava March's Vampire/Historical book, From Afar, was released yesterday. Jack and I have bought our copy and we are both very excited to read it! We plan on indulging with Ms. Ava's sexy romance this weekend. Congrats to MS. Ava on what's sure to be a very successful series and new release!



I've just read that Eyre's BFF's sister-in-law's, niece (Eyre I hope I got that right) is having a radical surgery done to help her with seizures. Lets keep this brave young lady in our good thoughts. Hopefully, our Eyre will keep us all informed of her progress.

Now... LAST but NOT LEAST, The Fabulous Shawn Lane has a new friend, Ashtyn Long. (Can you say YUM?) He's found out that we've all been perving on him, and that the fabulous Shawn Lane has based a hero on him and he's apparently tickled about it. GO SHAWN! She is going to get to interview this very bright and gorgeous young man in March, and being the gracious and fabulous person she is, she's allowing us to all participate by coming up with some interesting questions to ask him. Apparently, he's cool enough to answer almost anything, and I don't know about YOU...but I'm thinking of questions to ask him as we speak!

Here we are on Wednesday and the week has been a very interesting one so far! I can't wait to see what happens next!

Have a fabulous week! MUAH!
