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!

I'm guilty

Am I guilty? I so am!

While talking to my BFF, we both made the observation that people don't participate at Goodreads anymore. I am guilty of this myself. Some of the drama and the negative things that had been said was driving me ape shit! (pardon the language, but it was how I felt) After some talking to my BFF and to Jack, we decided to take our Goodreads back.

So, to make amends to my terrible guilt, I'm encouraging all of our Internet and fellow reading friends to return to the place we all used to love to haunt... GOODREADS. We all need a positive place to go to. This big bad world sucks most of the time, and it would be nice to be able to keep track of what my friends are reading and what's going on with them.
If not Goodreads, we all need to find a place to mingle...even if it's for a few minutes a day or even a couple of days a week. We have something spectacular in common. That's the love of reading. It makes us almost like family in some ways because there are so many people who do not understand the beauty of the written word or the fabulousness of a lovely story. I still think Goodreads can be that place.

*Jumps off Soapbox*

ANYWAY, I've been feeling so much better! Jack and I had a fabulous weekend. We visited with his sister and her family, met with some friends and had a outstanding time just being with each other AND we read Still the One by my fabulishes BFF, Shawn Lane, and it was a utterly divine end to Malcolm and Dusty's journey. If you haven't read it, stop what you're doing right now and indulge yourself! It's short, sexy and very hot! YUM!


Thanks again to all of you who have thought about me while I was down. That meant a lot to both Jack and I. You're good friends and we've been lucky to have met and become friends with all of you.

As a thank you, I give you more of Adam. He really is quite YUMMY!

Simply Fabulous

Today I'm just sending a quick post to let you all know that I got a clean bill of health from my doctor today. I want to thank all of my friends who have kept me in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy and safe recovery.

You all are simply fabulous! MUAH!

I'm actually getting to go out tonight. We're visiting Jack's sister so I'll actually get to see something beside the interior of my house or doctor's office. GO ME!

I love Adam Ant. I used to have a major crush on him and I still love his music. Since he makes me happy, I thought I would post him on my blog. He really was damn SEXY!

I will post more later when I have more time. I just wanted to thank you all for everything. *Hugs*


One quick special note to my BFF: I love you.

I suck at lying

Well, that settles it. I officially suck at lying!

1. I was once a drag queen at a bar in Dallas. No, I've never been a drag queen.

2. I have a very close relationship with my family. Nope and it's a Long sordid story that I don't want to get into.

3. At nineteen, I won tickets to see Madonna's True Blue concert for being lucky caller number 5. No. I DID go see Madonna's True Blue concert in Dallas, but I paid my hard earned money to see her.

4. I get very anxious when I'm in large crowds and have been known to have panic attacks. This is true.

5. I dressed up as the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz at a Halloween Party this year. No. I dressed up as Dorothy

6. I have three worthless dogs whom I love dearly. NO.I have TWO worthless dogs I love dearly

7. Jack and I have been together for a little over 14 years. No. We've been together for 13 years.

8. I am over six and a half feet tall. LOL. I'm not even going there.

9. I suffer from chronic insomnia. Yes and it sucks

10. I have a fetish for long hair. DUH!

11. Other than Handsome Jack, my very best friend in the world is Shawn Lane.
I figured 10 and 11 were my give a ways...little did I know my friends knew me better than I thought.

Don't forget to enter Shawn's contest this week! Her Only series is going to be fabulous!

Hmm...how much do you know about the mysterious Shayne???

Since Eyre tagged me for this, I thought I would play along. LOL. I thought I would make it easier and for everyone. Out of eleven statements...which four are the truth about me.

1. I was once a drag queen at a bar in Dallas.

2. I have a very close relationship with my family.

3. At nineteen, I won tickets to see Madonna's True Blue concert for being lucky caller number 5.

4. I get very anxious when I'm in large crowds and have been known to have panic attacks.

5. I dressed up as the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz at a Halloween Party this year.

6. I have three worthless dogs whom I love dearly.

7. Jack and I have been together for a little over 14 years.

8. I am over six and a half feet tall.

9. I suffer from chronic insomnia.

10. I have a fetish for long hair.

11. Other than Handsome Jack, my very best friend in the world is Shawn Lane.

I don't know who's been tagged and who hasn't. I hope everyone who wants to do this will.

Have a great weekend!

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!
