My Crazy Life!


This image pretty well sums up my life right now! I am TIRED! This parenting gig is hard! I am sorry that I have been slacking on blogging lately. It's been a hit or miss for when I actually have time to myself to do it.

My life has been a whirlwind since December, when my husband took a job in another city. We decided I would stay in our current town with our daughter until school was over in May. My husband drives home every weekend, so it's just me and my daughter together ALL the time 5 days a week. I must add that my daughter is 13!!! And we all know how 13 year old girls are!!!

And to add more stress and fun to my life, we had to sell our house. So that meant me doing all of the cleaning and more for every showing we had. Ugh! Luckily, our house sold within 2 weeks on the market. But now I have the added stress of packing, getting house ready for inspection and appraisal. Not too mention, our daughter has a million things on her social calendar with school, church confirmation, choir, Spring Fling, dance recital and that's just naming a few things. Oh and I forgot to tell you that our house will close on May 2nd!!! That's great and all, but school isn't over until May 23rd and the buyers want the house on the day we close!!! So I had to scramble to find a place for me and the child to live. Luckily, a super sweet co worker has a sister who has a condo that we can rent for 21 days!

We are also building a home in the new city!! Woo hoo!!! Said new home won't be ready when we move, so we'll be doing the apartment thing for 6 months. Originally, my husband, Matt, thought we could live in an RV on his parent's land. Uh negative!!! My mother politely told him, we would either end up attending a funeral or a divorce would happen. Ha! He must have taken her seriously because he found us an apartment!

I am surprised I still have my sanity. I work 40 plus hours a week too! I praise all the single parents out there! I don't' know how you do it!!! You ROCK!!!!

I am promising to be a better blogger after school is over and we are all together again. I long for the days of some peace & quiet time for this mom!

Release Blitz for Carolina Collections by Sylvie Stewart


Presents

Series Release Blitz: Carolina Collections
by Sylvie Stewart

Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy / Contemporary Romance






My life is a friggin' fairytale -- just not the kind any single girl would ever want to star in.

Laney
Like any good heroine, I've got a few challenges to face. Getting my son to wear pants is one; dealing with my snoozefest of a job is another. Then there's the Beast, my freeloading brother who's worn a permanent dent in the couch at my new place. And no fairytale would be complete without the smoking out prince, of course. Too bad he's a complete ass. 

Everything in me screams to steer clear of Nate Murphy. Because, if life has taught me anything, there is no such thing as happily ever after.

Nate
I may not be a superhero, but I do my best to come to the rescue when I'm needed. And, hey, I just moved halfway across the country after a single phone call from my mom. But being back home and taking on the responsibilities involved makes me a bit cranky at times. Unfortunately, the one time I completely lose my cool is in front of the hottest girl I've ever met. I've got my work cut out for me if I'm going to fix this. But I will fix this. 

I'll be anything Laney Monroe needs me to be ... a superhero, a prince, or just a guy she might take a chance on.

This product is a republication of the 2016 version of THE FIX. It contains special content and bonus scenes for an enhanced reader experience. 







Mark Beckett is the most annoying, patronizing, arrogant jerk on the face of the earth. So, naturally, I can't get the damn man out of my head.

Fiona
Like the old saying goes, I'm a jill of all trades but a master of none. What I lack in skill, however, I make up for in enthusiasm -- something certain people (ahem) find irritating. But I have my reasons for living my life the way I do, for diving into one project after another and trying to make a difference. And if Mark Beckett doesn't like it, he knows where to find the door. I don't need his approval ... or his panty-melting kisses.

Mark
I enjoy the simple things in life: a job well done, a cold beer, a hot woman ... you get the idea. But there's nothing simple about the mess I just found myself in. The last thing I need is a pint-sized princess sticking her nose in my business and pushing every damn one of my buttons like it's her job. But Fiona Pierce may be the only one with the tools to solve my problems --- and the power to change everything.

Luck is no lady ... in fact, she can be a downright bitch.

Bailey
Let's get one thing straight. I am not your typical girl. Sure, I've got all the parts, but I've been a stubborn, irreverent tomboy since the womb. Despite my Irish blood, bad luck makes a sport of messing with me, especially when it comes to men. But my shields are firmly in place now; nothing can touch me again. Except maybe Jake Beckett. He just might make this tomboy do the girliest thing in the world -- fall head over heels in love.

Jake
I'm a pretty lucky guy. I have a phenomenal family, a career I love, and I'm building a brand-new life back in my hometown. And, not to be a jerk about it, but I do more than all right with the ladies. Everything's going according to plan -- like I said, I'm a lucky guy. That is, until my luck runs out. Until I meet the girl I call "Irish."

Irony can go kiss my ass.

This product is a republication of the 2017 version of THE LUCKY ONE. It contains special content and bonus scenes for an enhanced reader experience.





They say opposites attract. Someone needs to tell that to Emerson Scott.

Gavin
All I ever wanted was to play ball. When an act of sheer stupidity took that dream away. I thought I'd never bounce back. But now I have the opportunity to coach an up-and-coming phenom, and I'm giving it all I've got. The fact that I've been lusting after his smoking-hot sister only sweetens the deal. Emerson may be buttoned up like a school librarian, but I play my best when I'm under pressure ... and I always bring the heat.

Emerson
Never lose focus. Never lost control. Those are the first two rules in my carefully calculated plan for success. Finding myself thrown into the role of guardian for my little brother was not part of that plan. But I can adjust for Jay's sake; I'm not about to let one change make me lose sight of my goals. Too bad Jay's hot young baseball coach doesn't seem to give a fig about my plans. He has one of his own -- and it includes me. Gavin Monroe may play like a pro, but that boy will never win this game.

This product is republication of the 2017 version of THE GAME. It contains special content and bonus scenes for an enhanced reader experience.



About the Author

Award-winning author Sylvie Stewart is addicted to Romantic Comedy and Contemporary Romance, and she's not looking for a cure. She hails from the great state of North Carolina, so it's no surprise that most of her books are set in the Tar Heel state. She's a wife to a hilarious dude, and mommy to nine-year-old twin boys who tend to take after their father in every way. Sylvie often wonders if they're actually hers, but then she remembers being a human incubator for a gazillion months. Ah, good times.

Sylvie began publishing when her kids started elementary school, and she loves sharing her stories with readers and hopefully making them laugh and swoon a bit along the way. If she's not in her comfy green writing chair, she's probably camping and kayaking with her family or having a glass of wine while binge-watching Hulu. Or she's been kidnapped -- so what are you doing just sitting there?!!

My Review of Crazy Madly Deeply by Lily White

Crazy Madly DeeplyCrazy Madly Deeply by Lily White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily White can be so dark with her novels but she can also create a love story out of that darkness. This book is very mild compared to some of the books from her! She'll make you weep with the words she writes.

This is a story of two people who are from different worlds but have more in common than they think. They are both broken.

Holden is an outcast. He is from the wrong sides of the track. Holden refuses to mold into what the town expects of him. He has his reasons.

Michaela is the opposite of Holden. She is pretty, popular and does what is required of her.

What will happen when their worlds collide? Tragedies will unfold and people's lives will forever be changed.

This book made me cry but it will also make you smile. You will root for the underdogs and hope the others get what's coming their way.

I hope you take the time and read this book to see for yourself on what happens.

CMD cover 
  Holden sees things. Lots of things. Things we would call ugly, but he believes are beautiful. He paints sad pictures. And strums lonely guitars. He drowns out the taunting voices while shunning the expected norms. I let them hurt him. I wasn’t strong enough to speak out. I hurt him, too, only to prove I wasn’t just like him. But then I saw him. I heard him. I learned why Holden wasn’t CRAZY like they said. I loved him MADLY. I fell for him DEEPLY. And alone, I decided to save a man who was the most beautiful of us all.

My Review of Renner's Rules by K. Webster

Renner's RulesRenner's Rules by K. Webster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you love taboo as much as I do, then you need to check out this book by K. Webster. This is one in a long series of hot, steamy reads but can be read as a standalone.

K. Webster can write a dirty story that makes you sit and fantasize for a bit. She writes lot of subjects that most authors don't dare touch. This woman can write taboo like no one else.

First off, I love a little age difference between the male and female characters. It reminds me of my love of historical romances. The hero and heroine always had a difference in age with the hero being older than the heroine.

Mr. Ryan Renner is one super sexy principal, that we all wish we had in high school. Can you imagine Mr. Hottie walking around the halls of your high school? Sigh!

Elma, is sent to live with Ryan Renner after she has been in trouble one too many times in her hometown. Her Dad trusts that Mr. Renner will set her straight. Boy, was he wrong! *insert eye roll*

Elma and Renner together are so hot together that they practically combust off the pages!

This novella is naughty, sexy and a fast read! I highly suggest you READ it today! I double dog dare you!

My Review of Until Harmony by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Until Harmony (Until Her, #4)Until Harmony by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love everything that Aurora Rose Reynolds writes. I know I have mentioned this before and it's true, I want to be a Mayson. The Mayson family is awesome!!! I love that Aurora writes about the next generation of the Mayson Family (including boys and girls).

Until Harmony was a little bit different than the last Until Her Book. Harmony Mayson is living independently in Nashville on her own. She is carving her own way in the world. I felt that I could relate to Harmony. She was so realistic with working hard towards her career goals. Harmony wasn't looking for love but when the "Boom" hits a Mayson, there is no turning back!

Oh Harlen!!! Swoon!!! Harlen is all man! There is no denying that! And of course, this hot hunk of man rides a motorcycle and works in an auto shop. Harlen comes off as a tough guy but underneath that is a sweet man, who is looking out for others.

I felt like there was a nice slow burn between Harmony and Harlen. I appreciate the fact that they took time to get to know each other. The chemistry was undeniable and when these two came together, fireworks exploded.

Of course, we do get a damsel in distress at the ending. That's Aurora's style and I love it! You just never know what will happen and who is out to get who.

I must add that Misty, the neighbor and her adoring family were nice too!! Ha! Aurora asked her fellow Roses in her Facebook Reading Group, who would like to be in the next book and this blogger just so happened to win! Thank you Aurora from this beloved reader, who squealed when she saw her name, husband and daughter in your book!!!

I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I can't get enough of the Mayson Family!

BLURB

Available in audio first, New York Times best-selling author Laurelin Paige's newest red-hot romance!

Weston King knows how to play. But wild nights and owning an extensive collection of women's panties don't carry the thrill they once did, so when his business partner Donovan suggests an outrageous plan to allow them to take over their competition, Wes takes him up on the offer. The crazy idea? Marry the competitor.

Elizabeth Dyson, the bride-to-be in question, is on board with the plan. She wants access to her trust fund and can only get it once she marries. Each has something the other wants - all they have to do is pretend to like each other well enough to tie the knot.

Only trouble is, playing fiancΓ© to Elizabeth isn't quite that simple. Wes finds her sexy and brilliant...and soon wishes their engagement wasn't fake at all. Not that he'd ever tell her that.

But a lover boy like Wes can only stand an empty bed for so long...and even the best of players has to put down his cards eventually.
