Shiloh Walker - Contest!!!

I just got done praising Shiloh Walker in my review of Fragile when, lo and behold, I find out she has a revised re-release of one of her first books from My Bookstore and More. Plus, she is running a contest for a new Sony Pocket Reader!!!! Woohoo...you can't beat that. Here is the book that is being re-released:

Here is the blurb:

One woman, one man, and a love that won’t let either of them go.

Born on the wrong side of the tracks and dealt a fair share of hardship, Nikki Kline never gives up a fight. Even when her reason to keep going is ripped from her, Nikki tries desperately to hang on. But when the man who broke Nikki’s heart comes back into her life she doesn’t know how much she can take. Especially since that man seems determined to win back her damaged heart.

Wade Lightfoot is a man who knows he’s made more mistakes than most. As much as he would like to repair the damage he’s done to those he loves, Wade also knows there is no going back. But when he sets out to put things right the last thing he’s prepared to find out is that he had a son. A son he’ll never get the chance to meet.

When the truth is out and all the old wounds are bared, it seems impossible that Nikki and Wade will find their way back to each other. But true love is an undeniable force that even past hurts can’t destroy.

This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.

Warning: This title contains heartbreaking tragedy, lies and deception, and a scorching passion that nothing can deny.

And here is an excerpt.

I recently purchased this book and found it fascinating, a really emotional read, that will have you grabbing for that tissue!! I know it is one of her earlier works and may not be as polished as her writing is today...but I still loved the book!!

Now, on to the contest...here is the post that will tell you all the rules of the contest. I have so wanted a Sony reader for such a long time...here's keeping my fingers crossed.

Isn't it pretty??

TBR Stack Runs Amok

My house is being taken over by my TBR stacks!!! So, I decided to do a little organizing after reading this fantastic post by Amy over at My Overstuffed Bookshelf. You really need to take a look at her post...she has a wonderful library of books and they are so organized now. She was being overrun by her TBR piles too...so her husband helped her clean out her craft room and install some bookshelves. One of the things that was so fantastic about this post (besides all the wonderful pictures of her shelves!!!) was that she purchased a 5 shelf bookcase for $25 at Walmart....that's right...$25. What a fantastic bargain. Well, I knew I just had to follow in her footsteps and organize my shelves too.

As you can see by the picture below...I had a 3 shelf bookcase that was stuffed to the max (two rows per shelf), and then if you look to the left of the picture you can see some book bags sitting beside it. These too were stuffed with books...I think there were 5 bags in all. Then, of course, there are all the boxes up in the attic filled with books too.

Now, I live in an extremely small house...so this bookcase is in the hallway with the bags stacked next to it. Totally unacceptable. So, I grabbed my 17 year old son, hauled him off to Walmart to purchase my bookcases. I wanted two in the Alder wood, but lo and behold the only two of that kind they had were ones where the boxes were damaged. Not wanting to wait until they got more in...if they even were getting more in...and possibly missing out on such a great price...I purchased two in black. My son helped me get them in the cart, then the car, and even carried them in the house for me. (Thanks son!!!). I couldn't wait any longer, I just had to put at least one together and get started on organizing my books. It took me a total of two nights to get both of them together and anchored to the walls. Another couple of nights to go through all my books and get them sorted by author, divided between paperbacks and hardbound, and all logged onto my spreadsheet in Excel. Here are the pictures of my results.

Now, these are just my TBR books. My read books and keepers are on some makeshift shelves in my office. But, as you can see, I have some growing room on my shelves here in the hallway. I still use my 3 shelf bookcase too...right now it is filled with books that I haven't yet sorted and logged.

All in all, it has been a pretty productive few days, and I feel so good about seeing all my books on display. It was great going through the boxes and bags because I came across books that I had forgotten about and my interest in them has been renewed.

I'm curious, how are your books displayed? Got any great pictures of your shelves to share?

Fragile - Shiloh Walker

Title:  Fragile
Author:  Shiloh Walker
Publisher:  Berkley
Published:  2009
Pages:  346
Genre:  Romantic Suspense

I had only read one of Shiloh Walker's books (the first in the Hunter's series) before I picked up Fragile. And I picked up Fragile because I bought Broken (the second book in the series) due to a contest that Shiloh was having on her website. And I can't express how very glad I did...I absolutely LOVE Shiloh's books. Her characters work their way into your heart so that they stay with you long after the book is finished. Her writing has you sitting on the edge of your seat with suspense and grabbing that fan to cool you down after the scorching passion. Even though her characters have their "issues," there is a strength about them that they are able to overcome what seems like insurmountable odds. The twists and turns will have you guessing until the end...and wondering if a HEA is in the works for the hero and heroine. From page one I was engrossed and couldn't put the book down...I literally read this in one sitting.

Luke Rafferty is the hero in this book and his battle-scarred heart, had me cheering for him from the very beginning. I didn't have to warm up to his character...he captured my heart from the very first pages. He left the Rangers after being wounded on one of their missions...he is now working as a doctor in the emergency department of a hospital. He is searching for a normal life and after six years, he still hasn't found it. However, when Luke meets Devon...he just might have found what he has been looking for...but is Devon ready for a complication called Luke.

Devon Manning is a social worker. Being a child of "the system" herself and growing up with a lot of issues stemming from her childhood, her job "is a constant reminder of her own troubled youth." She is unable to form adult relationships and sees Luke's interest as a complication she doesn't need.

As their relationship progresses with Luke trying to break through her emotional barriers, a stalker comes on the scene that has Devon concerned about her sanity. Devon is such a strong character that she rebels against Luke's protectiveness. As the stalker's intensity grows, so does the passion between Luke and Devon. As the plot twists and turns...you'll will definitely be guessing who the stalker is until the very end.

Excellent plot and character development, as well as excellent writing all the way around. Can't wait for Broken to come in the mail!!!

Listful Mondays: Book Places I Want to Visit/See

Julie over at A Small Accomplishment hosts a Monday meme called Listful Mondays. Every Monday there is a theme or question that requires a list. This Monday's list is about Book Places that you want to visit and list the book(s) behind the why...however, they have to be real places (fictitious places will be next week).

I know I am posting this on a Tuesday...but I just ran across this today!! LOL.

So here is my list of places I would like to visit:

1. Ireland - Nora Roberts' Born series and Patrick Taylor's Ireland series.
2. Camargue, France - Luanne Rice's Light of the Moon
3. Scotland - All the Highlander books I read...just would love to see the countryside described
4. Black Hills of South Dakota - Nora Roberts' Black Hills
5. Sawyer Island, Maine - Barbara Delinsky's The Summer I Dared

My list isn't very long...I read mostly fiction which contain a lot of fictitious places...so next week my list should be longer...much longer...LOL.

I usually don't participate in memes, but this one sounded like a lot of fun!! I am anxious to see what other "lists" she comes up with in the future.

Google Docs...My New Friend

I am so behind in the times!!! Even though some of you may know about this...I just discovered a new way to keep and update my TBR list...thanks to Tara at 25 Hour Books!!!!

I usually keep a notebook beside my computer and jot down great suggestions from bloggers...but then I have to take that notebook everywhere I go...and sometimes I forget to jot down who recommended the book so that when I do my reviews, I can't give them credit for the recommendation. And I never have the notebook with me when I spontaneously decide to stop by the bookstore.

But thanks to Tara, I have a new way of doing things...Google Docs!!! She wrote a post about creating a form in Google Docs that places all the info in spreadsheet format. The spreadsheet can be accessed with any techie device you may own...so my list is always with me. And I put the link to the form up in the address bar so that the form is only a click away. What is on my form is Title, Author, Source, and Source URL. All the information I need!!

Thanks so much Tara for a great post...Add to TBR Form.

Bound, Branded, & Brazen - Jaci Burton

Title:  Bound, Branded, & Brazen
Author:  Jaci Burton
Publisher:  Berkley
Published:  2010
Pages:  324
Genre:  Erotic Romance

I won, I won, I won!!! I won this book over at No Such Thing as Too Many Books...thanks again Blanche. Now, I know I won this book back in March, but I really really wanted to read Wild, Wicked, & Wanton before I delved into this one. They are not connected in any way, but WWW came out before Bound, Branded, & Brazen and it just seemed like a good thing to do at the time...LOL. After reading both books, I liked BBB just a little better than WWW...not that I didn't love WWW...I mean I gave it a 4/5...but, BBB just grabbed me the right way...I mean how could you miss with three sexy, hunky cowboys!!!

Three passionate stories contained in one book...yet they are interconnected because the heroines are sisters. The stories flowed together smoothly, and each are interspersed with Jaci Burton's brand of humor. Of the three sisters, Jolene has been running the family ranch while the other two left to pursue different careers. But, it is finally time for Brea and Valerie to come home and decide what to do about their interest in the ranch. Little did they know that this family reunion would be a "hot date with destiny."

BOUND...Valerie left her foreman husband, Mason, to pursue a career in the big city as a doctor. But seeing him again brings back "sizzling memories" and "rekindled a fire that threatens to burn them both."  Mason has worked hard as the Bar M foreman, helping Jolene turn it into the magnificent ranch it is today. Too bad he couldn't make a go of his marriage. But Valerie was running scared not really recovering after her parents death. She loved her parents so much, but that love hadn't been able to keep them with her. She just couldn't risk loving again with Mason.

Valerie has trouble realizing her her inner strength. It takes her sisters and Mason to make her to see that they will love her no matter how far she runs. It all comes to a boil, with her sitting in her car at a crossroad having to make the most important decisions of her life. Theirs' is an emotional, tension filled story that will have you cheering for Mason and his well-thought out plan to win back his wife.

BRANDED...Brea thought her self as a gawky and chubby girl. But Jolene shows her how beautiful she is by giving her a make-over, buying her new clothes, and throwing out those ugly, over-sized clothes that she was used to wearing. She still thinks she is out of horse trainer Gage's league, but he just might be the one to fulfill all of her fantasies. Gage is a drifter and has no intention of settling down.While being straight-forward and direct, he does have a gentler side to him...just as he coaxes his wild horses to accept him as master...so does he coax Brea to emerge from her shell into a sexually confident, beautiful woman. Will Brea be able to accept his terms...no strings, no attachment...or will she let her heart rule her emotions?

I loved the story of Brea and Gage...besides his hotness, Gage could see the potential in Brea even before her makeover. He was gentle yet firm with her and guided her on her sexual discovery with a loving hand. Brea was insecure because of past relationships, yet gave herself another chance with Gage. It was a fantastic read and Jaci Burton knew just how to capture my heart with this one. I think this might have been my favorite of the three.

BRAZEN...Jolene has wanted ranch hand Walker Morgan since he stepped onto her ranch. Yet, Walker won't even acknowledge the attraction between them...no matter how she tempts him. So, it is up to Jolene to make the first move. Finally Walker succumbes to Jolene's advances, but he has stipulations.  No one was to know about their relationship. However, the townspeople don't want Walker around...they want him gone.

Walker is trying to do the right thing...if only he would open up to Jolene and tell her why he was afraid of their relationship. I liked how he was trying to do the honorable thing. Jolene could be a bit forceful and brash, but that was a part of her personality that made itself known through all three stories. She was a go-getter...she went after what she wanted both with Walker and with ranch decisions. I enjoyed her strength of character...so different from scared Valerie and insecure Brea.

All in all...these were three well-developed stories that entailed scorching passion, intense emotions, loyalty, friendship, and a whole lot of lovin'. LOL. Jaci Burton pens a great anthology, and I am definitely going to be perusing her backlist for more wonderful passion-filled stories.

Read-A-Thon Wrap-Up Post

Well, I wasn't able to complete the Read-A-Thon like I wanted to. I lasted for 13 hours and 15 minutes and then all hell broke loose. There has been a stomach virus going around our area and both of my youngest boys decided that last night would be a good time to get it!!! I took a 30 minute break to get them to bed...started in my book again...had all my snacks and drink by my side, curled up in my Snuggie...and then the first one comes out saying "Mommy, I don't feel so good."  Then he proceed to throw-up. After getting him settled...the other one starts...and so it went all night...both of them tag teaming me.

I think I should get a few points for at least staying up the 24 hours...LOL...but after they got sick...I didn't read very much...just took care of them and cleaned my bathroom a half a dozen times.

I was doing so well too....wasn't feeling tired...and reading some good books. After I finished Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts (which was really good...made me cry!!!), I started on A Whisper of Eternity by Amanda Ashley.

So here are my TOTAL stats:

Time Spent Reading:  9 hours 45 minutes
Time Spent Blogging:  1 hour 40 minutes
Books Read:  2.25
Pages Read:  549
Mini-Challenges: 2
Comments: 17 Blogs
Family Life:  1 hour 50 minutes....Plus the rest of the Read-A-Thon due to sickness (kids)

Books I Read:

1. "D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton (Completed)
2. Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts (Completed)
3. A Whisper of Eternity by Amanda Ashley (1/4 of book)

Here are some questions asked in the last Mini-Challenge of the event:

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
         Since I didn't get to finish the challenge...I really didn't have a daunting hour...at 12 hours I was still going strong

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
         I don't have any high-interest books to list...but I think shorter books and easier books are what kept me engaged. Not those heavy "put a lot of thought into" books...I think that would have made me tired at an earlier hour.

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
        Nope, no suggestions. This was my first Read-a-thon and I thought things ran smooth and all the information was there for both the readers and the cheerleaders.

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
        As I stated above, I thought the whole thing was well organized and the mini-challenges kept my interest.

5. How many books did you read? 2.25

6. What were the names of the books you read?
        I listed those in my stats.

7. Which book did you enjoy most?
       Both of the books I read were great...but of the two...Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts is what got me emotionally.

8. Which did you enjoy least?
      I hate to say that I enjoyed "D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton the least...it really was a good book and kept me engaged the whole way through.

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
      Don't forget the little people out there doing the read-a-thon. Just don't post on the popular blogs.

10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
      Oh, I definitely will be participating as a reader in the next read-a-thon...and the kids will have strict orders NOT to get sick this time. LOL Hopefully, I will have learned a little more about Twitter so that I can participate more on that end.  Absolutely have no clue what I am doing on Twitter.

All in all, I had a fantastic time participating in the Read-A-Thon and will definitely be doing it again in the Fall. Thank you so much to everyone that stopped by to cheer me on!!! It meant so much to me. And definitely thanks to the coordinators of the event...without you there wouldn't be a Read-A-Thon...you put in so much time and effort to make this a special weekend and thanks is just not enough for all you do!!! And last but certainly not least...I really want to send a thanks out to Fyrefly...without her wonderful Excel spreadsheet she created, calculating my totals would have taken me so much more time than it did. You are the Excel Queen!!!

I will be posting my reviews on the books I read later on this week...hopefully I can get caught up with all my reviews (I think I have about 8 to do including the Read-A-Thon books).

Update Post #2

We are now completing the 8th hour of the Read-A-Thon and I am still going strong.  I am reading Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts and am almost half-way through it. The kids are being so well-behaved today...only asking for little things and keeping themselves occupied. Helps immensely that it is nice and sunny outside!!

I have been reading quite steadily without taking a break to do any mini-challenges. I did take a quick break for 1/2 hour to take the younger kids to McDonald's and grab some carry-out. I did this as a treat for being so good.

Here are my TOTAL stats:

Time Sent Reading:  6 hours and 5 minutes
Time Spent Blogging:  1 hour and 5 minutes
Books Read:  1.5
Pages Read: 318
Mini-Challenges: 2
Comments:  11 Blogs
Family Life:  50 minutes

Oh, and I was also the one of the Readers of the Hour winners!!! I chose the book Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow as my prize!!!

Off to check out some of the mini-challenges and to cheer on some fellow readers.

Update Post #1

Well, we are ending hour number 4 in the Read-A-Thon, and I thought I would take a minute to update you on my stats.

I am just finishing up "D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton...I have about 30 pages left...this is a great cozy mystery...I love this series and don't know why I waited so long to read the next one.

Here are my Stats:

Time spent reading:  3 hours
Time spent blogging:  1 hour
Books Read: 1
Pages Read: 128 pages (started on page 58)

Mini Challenges #1 and #2

I am going to combine the first two mini-challenges into one post...just to cut down on the number of posts I make during the Read-A-Thon.

Mini-Challenge #1....Intro Post....Here are the questions:

Where are you reading from today?
3 facts about me …
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?

3 Facts about me:  I have four kids ages 6, 8, 17, and 18.  I am a paralegal looking for full-time work. I love to cross stitch (when I am not reading, of course).

As I stated in my first post...the first book I am reading is "D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton. I started this book yesterday and want to finish it...so I started on page 58 today. Then I will probably move onto something light like Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods, or Susan Wiggs.

I don't have any books picked out...my TBR stack is all in one bookshelf and I have them all listed in an Excel spreadsheet...I am a fly by the seat of my pants reader...so, I'll pick and choose as the Read-A-Thon continues.

No, I don't have any goals for the Read-A-Thon...except to read as many hours as I can. This is my first time participating so I don't know how many books I can fit in, or pages read...I am kind of feeling my way around and discovering all the ins and outs of the event.

Mini-Challenge #2...hosted by Miss Remmer's Reviews...The Kickoff of Champions.

She wants to know what we have surrounded ourselves with for the start of the Read-A-Thon.  I started out wrapped in my Snuggli (little chilly outside this morning) with a big thermos of coffee and my book. On my table is my notepad so I can jot down how many hours I read, blog, comment, and possibly Twitter (very new to Twitter and don't know how it works yet). I also have a stack of books that I received recently in the mail.

Up on my laptop is Firefox with tabs to Dewey's Read-A-Thon, Twitter, and my Google Reader. I also have Excel brought up with my Read-A-Thon spreadsheet that calculates number of books, number of pages, and hours spent reading.

So all-in-all, I think I am pretty much settled for the first few hours...until it is time for snacks...LOL.

Now back to reading!!!!

Mini Challenges #1 and #2

http://worldaccordingtobooks.blogspot.com/2010/04/mini-challenges-1-and-2.html

Read-a-Thon...Hour One

Ready...Set...Go!!!! It is 8:00 am here in sunny Cincinnati, Ohio, and I am off and running with the Read-a-Thon. I am so excited about being a participant this year...it is my first time and I am just learning all the ropes, tips, and tricks to make this a successful event. I am not sure how many times I am going to update and use the same post or different posts. I guess we will see how things go and how many breaks I need to take from reading.

My kids are settled for the morning and I am comfy in my chair with my coffee. My first book will be..."D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton.

I am also using FyreFly's Excel spreadsheet to keep track of time reading, pages, and books read. Hopefully this will make it easy and quick to write my updates.

I really want to say GOOD LUCK to all those participating, and I hope to get to some of the blogs and give encouragement to my fellow readers.

Sarah's Child - Linda Howard

T

Title: Sarah's Child
Author: Linda Howard
Publisher: Harlequin
Published: 1985
Pages: 322 (eBook)
Genre: Romance

As you can see by the published date, this is an older book by Linda Howard. I have only read one other book by her and that is Mackenzie's Mountain, and I absolutely LOVED Wolf!! Sarah's Child is a different kind of book from the Mackenzie series, but I enjoyed it just the same. But while reading it...you have to remember that it was written in 1985 and put those feminist views aside...LOL. I will probably reread this book some time in the future. Others have said that this wasn't Linda Howard's greatest work...but I thought it was a good story.

Sarah has been in love with Rome from the first day she met him...yet it was a forbidden love since he was married to her best friend. Rome has always considered Sarah a very cold and aloof woman not knowing that she hides her love for him behind that facade. The story opens two years after the death of Rome's wife and two children. He calls Sarah to come to the house and pick up a box of mementos that his wife had collected through their high school years. Still in love with him, Sarah comforts a distraught Rome as he cleans out his home. Comfort leads to more...and Rome can't keep away from Sarah.

Rome is definitely an alpha male!! But at times in the book he comes across as a total jerk using the death of his family as an excuse to treat Sarah with disdain. He does redeem himself in the end...but it definitely takes him most of the book to realize he is acting like a jerk. All the time he is struggling with coming to terms with his loss...Sarah quietly loves him and takes what he dishes out. Sometimes I thought she was too understanding and needed to give Rome a swift kick...LOL. She does stand up for herself and gives him an ultimatum...but that is for you to find out what that is all about.

March Monthly Wrap-up

I haven't done a wrap-up post in a long time. Didn't know if people liked them or skipped over them when reading blogs. One of the blogs I follow addressed this issue (Beth Fish Reads)and the comments have been mixed. I wrote done some suggestions from people that liked wrap-up posts and what they thought should be included. So, I am going to make an attempt to try this out for a couple of months and see what happens.

I had a pretty good month in March...read 10 books, won a couple of books, and pimped a few contests. However, I am behind in my reviews. Would like to get caught up in April, but one of my weekends is going to be taken up by the Read-A-Thon.
