Fools For Luv, Hunky Brothers, and Good Scottish Medicine
I threw my back out again, and it's very slowly getting better. This post may be a bit of a mish mash. Here we go!
1. Please stop by the FOOLS FOR LUV blog today. Julia Rachel Barrett and I did a super fun post about tasty tropical treats to serve your loved one for Valentine's Day, including a recipe for Julia's Tiny Thai Pulled Chicken Sammies and my own favorite Mango Martini. We are also giving away books. Happy Early Valentine's Day!
2. I threw my back out twice last week. Here are some of the helpful hints from friends and family about treating this hideous ailment....
* Drink hard liquor.
* Stretch more.
* Go to the chiropractor to get an "adjustment" (I'm not sure what an adjustment is, but that sounds scary).
* Take drugs. Lots of drugs. A mixture of muscle relaxants, pain killers and other exciting things.
* Read porn.
* Watch asinine Syfy made-for-television movies and other assorted horror films.
Who needs a doctor?
3. Since I was laid up in bed with a bad back, I figured it was finally time to read Maya Banks' cray cray Colter Brothers series, where three handsome, hunky, horny brothers find an unconscious woman lying in a ditch and instantly decide she's the woman they want as their (collective) wife. She's a virgin, of course. Needless to say, it all works out in the end, although I'm not sure how the woman could walk the next day after servicing all three brothers. At the same time. Over and over again. Best part of this silly series? The woman has three sons and guess what happens with them? Yep, that's right. They all fall instantly in love with a beautiful homeless woman and have a good old-fashioned 4-way marriage.
What? That could totally happen!
(Did I mention they're all gorgeous and hunky?)
4. After finishing the Colter Brothers series, I decided to take some Scottish medicine in the form of Hannah Howell's Highland Knight. This book was a little bit long for me, but I was completely immersed in the story about a feisty wee lassy and her big, brooding Scottish abductor. Yum! My back sure felt a lot better by the end of this book. It was a sweet, sexy, lusty story. Who needs pain killers?
5. My awesome website designer, Sharon Breitbart, made me a new author site for Nina Clark, author of LUCY THE WONDER WEENIE. It's adorable! We included balloons, goofy dogs, sunflowers, and lots of pics of the real Lucy. Please check it out!
That's it, folks! Happy Monday,

Happy Monday!
Happy Monday!
Monday morning quickie updates.....
I read Sheila Connolly's mystery Let's Play Dead. It is a very subdued style of mystery, about a museum director in Philadelphia. Not a lot of action, no real romance to speak of, and lots of mundane details about daily operations at a museum. Even though it was pretty dry reading, I still liked it. The mystery itself is the star of the show, and Connolly does a good job with the plotline. Also, the cover is simply adorable! Grade: B
I finally got to read Hannah Howell's latest addition to the Wherlocke series, If He's Dangerous. What a great story! I am totally digging the paranormally-enhanced Wherlocke family. They are bad-ass, mysterious and oh so sexy. Schwing! I am now in love with the name Angus. It's hot! I thought this book was the perfect package....great romance, terrific characters, engaging storyline. Grade: A
Thanks to People magazine for this inspiring photo of Hugh.
Happy Monday,

Beard of the Day and Hannah Howell Reading Extravaganza!

Oh, boy! I just read my first Hannah Howell book, If He's Wild, and I am hooked, baby! It is part of a cool paranormal historical series called the Wherlocke series, about an extended family all with extraordinary "gifts"--detecting lies, reading minds, seeing ghosts, having visions, etc. etc. Although the book was a bit slow to start, once it picked up I was completely riveted. Howell has created a seriously bad-ass group of paranormal characters. (Oh yeah, the love story is really good, too...hee hee!). I already started If He's Wicked, and next up is If He's Sinful.
Since Hannah is well known for her Highlander series, I thought I would post a kilt-y beard of the day: Liam Neeson, looking rugged and fine in his plaid.
My husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this weekend (belatedly, since our first attempt was interrupted by my stupid heart attack!). We are headed to Vermont, my favorite place in all of the world. Quechee Antique Mall, here I come!
Happy, Happy Weekend!
