Waring happily ever after!
936925
I just purchased TWO quite white Waring PBB201 blenders. Since my cheap blender recently said it's goodbyes and gave up the ghost. And since I grew up on a Waring blender. I couldn't pass up the free shipping and the $25 discount on each blender Amazon was offering.

Anybody who thinks blenders are all the same have never tried a Waring. Anybody who thinks Waring are no good never got their hands on a good one. A good one will outlast just about everything else in your kitchen. From 1st grade to college and after!-We had like five new cars But only one blender the whole time.

The motor is just as I remembered growing up.

When you turn it on you get the distinct sound that you just turned on a table saw so you know this blender means business.

And that's what you should look for in any power tool,I mean appliance:

His Lordship's Wild Highland Bride, is a pleasing, well-written tale and a delightful story! It will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions! This is a little gem to discover!

If you believe in the magic of love, then, this book, by Kathleen Bittner Roth, will be perfect for you! It's a real page turner, so refreshing and intriguing, that I could not put it down! I loved her two main characters Ridley and Lainie. The grandmother of the family called Mum, thinks she is the Queens mother and that her daughter Millicent is the Queen. Some scenes are so cute and charming to read. The plot was well developed, fast paced and very well written. I loved the teasing and physical attraction between Ridley and Lainie. Looks like Mum will have her hands full with them.

The Malvern saga continues! The story starts during a marriage of convenience between two perfect strangers. As soon as Ridley, the Englishman is forced to marry a Scottish lady, Lainie, their new relationship starts with a BANG!!!Can their marriage bring them trust and happiness? As time goes by, they will share secrets, and trust each other. The chemistry between the two will sizzle!

Ms. Roth never disappoints me with her stories filled with emotions, humor and romance!

This is the fifth book in the Bonded by Blood series and I loved it!
Broderick has followed the call of Davinas soul to London in 1888 and though he desperately wants to reclaim his Blossom, his soul mate, hes decided to give her up so she could live a long, normal life. Broderick and Davina (and all her reincarnations) are destined to fulfill a six-stage prophecy that will lead to redemption for all vampires and Davina, as her new incarnation of Christabelle, must die once more.
In all her other lives, Christabelle has lived in health and happiness with a family who loved her. Now, shes poverty-stricken but determined to survive with her pride intact. She only has two friends to call on: an elderly woman, Darla, and a wealthy suitor, Theodore, who seems to love her.
My favorite moments in the book were all the scenes where Christabelle kept stealing Brodericks pocket watch. So sweet and romantic. I laughed out loud when he wiped her memories the second time. I definitely cried over Brodericks heartache in having to give up his Blossom to Theodore and over the pain Christabelle suffered throughout her life which was so common for so many people back then and still is today.
Broderick and Christabelle are apart for a good chunk of the book so theres a lot going on with the supporting cast.
Peter and Cordelia are married and they run the London offices of the MacDougal Shipping Company. We met Peter in the last book (hes a sun wolf/vamsyrian hybrid) and we met Cordelia in the first book (shes a moon wolf/vamsyrian hybrid). Theyre roped into helping Angus and Kahli, and Im surprised by the outcome. There are a few unanswered questions about this subplot but Im sure it will play a role in the next book in the series. (I just hope Brodericks ship and portraits stay safe!)
Angus (Brodericks vamsyrian brother/enemy) is so distraught over killing his and Brodericks brothers that hes become addicted to drugs to drown the pain. Kahli (Mabel the Spirit Witch from book 4) has her own demons and shes helping Angus overcome his. Of all the side characters, their relationship intrigued me the most.
Malloren (a vamsyrian prophetess) is determined to fulfill the prophecy at any cost as usual and Prince Jesse Amir (the second oldest vampire in existence) seems willing to help her.
Theres a big twist at the end which makes me think the upcoming book 6 may not be the last one in the series. I don't want to give away the surprise but Brodericks close-knit circle of friends is growing bigger. Its going to be so strange to see Broderick in the twenty-first century driving a car. (It was strange enough to see him in a carriage in this book with a ton of journalists chasing after him since hes a rich businessman. Hes certainly come a long way from being a Gypsy-turned-Scottish laird.) The sneak preview for book 6 will leave your mouth dropped open. I sooooo want to know more.
This book is well-edited and the writing flowed. I cant wait for 2017 to read the next book!!

Alexander Ban MacDonald is a renowned highland warrior.  He's not only known for being a warrior. He is also known for his philandering.  He may not be married yet but he doesn't mind messing around with married women.  It has gotten him thrown into a dungeon or two in his life.  When his Chieftain requires him to get married for the sake of the clan Alexander is adamantly opposed.  Alexander is against marriage all together, content with his life as it is.  However, things get a little tricky when Alexander meets the one woman in all of Skye that is willing to go to great lengths to avoid marriage.

Glynis MacNeil has been married once and she was lucky to get out unharmed.  Glynis wasn't totally unscathed; she left the marriage with a rather sullied reputation.  Now, her father is determined to marry her off once again to solidify his place among the clan before the inevitable war.  She is determined to never be under the thumb of another man.  Glynis is ready to make her own path in life without a man until Alexander walks into her life.  They strike up a quick friendship that could be so much more but neither wants to tie the knot.

Alexander's future is laid out before him.  The path he must follow contains three women.  One bringing danger, one deceit and one desire, Alex will need to figure out whom to trust with his heart and his life.  As Glynis finds herself in a predicament, she calls on her friend Alex for help.  Will Alex be able to help Glynis without becoming more attached to the bonny lass?

Woo hoo! The Sinner is utterly delicious.  Alexander has been a randy man traipsing from bed to bed and it's catching up with him.  He has only ever seen the negatives of marriage but he is now realizing that there might be some good sides to being married as well, unfortunately it may be too late.  Glynis' first husband was a despicable lout.  Her aversion to marriage is completely rational. I love that both Alex and Glynis are so opposed to marriage and yet there are so many sparks between then it's impossible to ignore.  The journey they go on together is one filled with potholes.  They both made me mad at times but that is part of what I love about books.  When they can strike an emotional chord in the reader it makes the experience so much sweeter.  Laughter, lust, love and peril turn The Sinner into a thrilling adventure.

Bravo Margaret Mallory The Sinner is perfect!  I am so in love with this story right now!  One thing I love about Ms. Mallory's writing is that it is so beautiful.  Ms. Mallory has created these massively intense circumstances and thrown in one-of-a-kind romances to take the reader on a fantastic journey.  Alex and Glynis are sexy, stubborn and simply divine together.  The Sinner should not be missed!

Now that Salome has broken the Winter Curse and decided to live in Faerie with Gareth, they believe that the worst of times are behind them.  Little do they know that the Winter Queen has big plans for the rest of Faerie, which includes taking out the last remaining Kingdom  Summer.  Being a Warrior of the Summer Kingdom, Gareth has held the Kingdom together while its King, Nevin, was back in the human world under the Winter Curse.  So when the recently freed King of Summer Nevin and Salomes ex-boyfriend in the human world comes to them at Gareths ranch and request their assistance  Salome is skeptical of Nevins intensions and wants to refuse his request.  But being the diligent warrior that he is, Gareth gets Salome to reluctantly agree to being escorted to the Summer castle  under Nevins ever watchful eye.  Of course with a vengeful Winter Queen on the loose, the journey is not without its hardships  they traveling pair of Salome and Gareth encounter many dangers and nearly succumb to some, but when they stumble upon the Ruined Court, a few ghosts help save them.

Finally making it to the Summer Castle safely, Gareth is swept away almost immediately with war and scouting plans to try to defeat the Winter Courts horrible hold on the rest of Faerie. He and Salome have no time to talk, but when King Nevin invites them to dine with him, he reveals what Gareth was so hesitant to talk to her about  Nevin proposes that he and Salome marry, to strengthen the Winter court, as Nevin can tell that Salome is getting powers.  When Salome declines and chooses Gareth, the next day he sets off to defend the Winter boarders.  As it happens, Gareth is mortally wounded while on the battlefield, and Salome knows that she is his only hope of surviving  but only if she weds Nevin, as their powers grow stronger when bound in marriage.  Without Gareths moral compass to help her, Salome sorrowfully accepts  so she can save Gareths life.  But when Salome learns that her best-friend is in Faerie working with the Winter Queen, will her faith be shattered or strengthened in humanity and the occupants of the Faerie?

I must say that while I mildly enjoyed the first book in the series, I could not put this one DOWN!  It was entertaining, gave a lot of detail and insight into the feud the Winter Queen felt, as well as how and why Salome was not just the beginning, but the future of the Faerie kingdom.  I was thrilled at the twists and turns I was taken on throughout both Kadie and Salomes adventures, as well as the roles that they both have been destined to take throughout each others lives  not just in the human world, but also in Faerie.  I was REALLY looking forward to seeing what adventures lay ahead for them both, and if a little ol human girl has the power to save or annihilate an entire world!

I've been a fan of this series since Book One, Sweet Surrendering. To see Lucah and Rory finally get to their "forever" was a beautifully and funnily written story. Going through the emotions of Rory having to truly "surrender" her control over what and how she sees her life both right now and in the future made me laugh, cry and even get a little irritated with her at times.

She really can be a little bit of a bitch with Lucah when he pushes her out of her comfort zone. But she did recognize it and found her way to apologize even when Lucah would tell her it wasn't necessary. There were so many ups and downs in this book that really through our girl for a loop, some good, some sad and some so shockingly surprising that she just didn't know what to do with herself.

I absolutely loved how much Lucah and Rory love each other and want to be with each other all the time. I mean even to the point where they showered together every morning because, "it was just easier for us to shower together. To conserve water and all that." LOL!! Sometimes those showers could make them late for the office but it was always worth it!

When our H/h face some life changing events it really showed us who they were as people and as a couple. Some of these events alone could cause a couple some problems, but compounding them one on top of the other, could destroy a couple. Not our Lucah and Rory they really are meant to be! Adding on top of this is them planning their wedding and starting the countdown to the big day. I absolutely loved, how they each had surprises for each other and neither one would budge.

What made me love Lucah even more than I already did, was how he LOVED his family. His nieces were the world to him and the fact that he wasn't afraid to lose his "man-card" because he "would be wearing a tiara and be covered in glitter makeup." This made me swoon and melt all over again.

Needless to say by the end of the book when we find out how their HEA pans out, I'm still clamoring for more of Lucah and Rory and I really hope we'll see them again sometime in the future!! (less)

Absolutely smashing! I loved this book. It's the first one I've read in the series, and even though the author refers to the previous characters, I personally think you could read it as a stand alone.
Hawke and Jeanette are two strong characters feeling a very strong connection to each other. In spite of his past, Hawke wants to explore this connection and see how deep it goes. Jeanette, on the other hand, is extremely guarded and doesn't want to get hurt any more than she wants to hurt Hawke. Happiness, then tragedy, then more happiness, then shock, then more happiness. It's a great story with a pretty awesome HEA. Lori King writes some pretty awesome books!

I received and ARC for an honest review!

This book was bunches of fun! A light romance between two who should not be together. It's about the royal family and a mean blogger. What will happen when she sees what it takes to be a royal?
This was a fairy tale adventure that was light and fun. I loved all the characters! Such a blast to read. It was like watching a RomCom with my bff's at 12 years old! So silly and fun!

I enjoyed book one in The Everstone Chronicles and enjoyed book two even more!  Book two picks up with Lawry Hampton and his dearest friend, Meredyth Summercourt, who struggles with a mistake that she feels only Vance Everstone can redeem.  But Lawry Hampton shows her a patient love that has her wishing she were brave enough to let go of the past and step into a beautiful future.  Sweet orphan Wynn's fate is held in the balance.  Who will Meredyth choose, Vance? or Lawry? or neither?
There were times I was very frustrated with Meredyth's wishy-washy-ness, and the story bogged down a little while dealing with Meredyth's angst.  However, there was an excellent twist at the end that I enjoyed, making me want to know more about Vance's story.  I wish the ending would have showed Wynn's reception of Lawry after not seeing him for several weeks.  The story has that 'happily ever after,' but it didn't feel complete without Wynn at the end.  Still, this was a wonderful romance, full of how God can make all things new when the characters, and we, turn our eyes to God's will and not our own.
Readers will be happy to have a glimpse of Nathan and Amaryllis from The Hesitant Heiress in this story.
