#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-12-20 Books I Reread or Want to Reread

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-12-20 Books I Reread or Want to Reread.  Wow, there are quite a few, but I’ll narrow them down. Sit down, grab a hot chocolate and heart shaped red-frosted sugar cookie. Lets get started.,

 

Okay here is a list of Books I Reread or Want to Reread in no particular order. I know you’ll recognize the titles and authors from prior blogs, but they are my favorites. I re-listen to them since they are all on audiobook.

TroubleMaker by Linda Howard – The part-time police chief of a small West Virginian mountain town, Isabeau “Bo” Maran finally has her life figured out. She’s got friends, a dog, and a little money in the bank. Then Morgan Yancy shows up on her doorstep. Bo doesn’t need a mysterious man in her life—especially a troublemaker as enticing and secretive as Morgan.

The Witness by Nora Roberts –The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights.

How to Flirt With A Naked Werewolf,   by Molly Harper.  If a wolf cries wolf, it makes sense to listen, yet Mo is convinced that Cooper is not the culprit. Except if he’s not responsible, then who is? And when a werewolf falls head over haunches in love with you, what are you supposed to do anyway? The rules of dating just got a whole lot more complicated. . . .

The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper – Generations of werewolves have been secretly residing in a secluded valley a stone’s throw from Grundy, Alaska. So when a snooping Outsider comes to Grundy to investigate rumors of lycanthropic shenanigans in the area, the valley’s pack alpha, Maggie Graham, resolves to chase him away, even if doing so takes a quick bite on the butt. What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg.

How to Run With A Naked Werewolf  by Molly Harper- On the run from an abusive relationship, she runs right into the arms of a protective werewolf. Life will never be the same.

The Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews (A ten book series).Mercenary Kate Daniels must risk all to protect everything she holds dear in this epic, can’t-miss entry in the thrilling #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series.

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences for books I reread. I like books with adventure, mystery and happily ever after.

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list of Books to reread. L&SR

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-5-20 My Celebrity Crushes.

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-5-20 My celebrity crushes.  Wow, there are quite a few, but I’ll narrow them down. Lets get started.,

 

Okay here is a list of my celebrity crushes in no particular order.

Jason Mamoa – Aquaman – Who would like a reluctant hero who fights for what’s right? Not to mention swims and talks underwater and is the king of the realm. LOL

 

Chris Helmsworth – Thor – Oh those muscles and surfer blond hair. I love a man who swings a hammer and it returns to him.  Heir to the throne of Asgard. What more could you ask?

 

Shemar Moore – SWAT –  Here’s a man that was a model turned actor in a bad ass role. Good guys finish first in my world. Especially if they have swagger. LOL

 

Yep, I apparently have a thing for men who play righteous bad-ass roles. 

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences.

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as their Celebrity Crushes. L&SR

BREAKING NEWS CHARM ME AGAIN received InD’tale Magazine Crown Heart Review – in part is read:  “This is much more than just a romance or a paranormal story.  It has witches, warlocks, ghosts and faes, each of which have their own agendas. Each character is special in their own way.  They are so well developed and described that the reader starts to wonder if this is real.  The storyline is unique in that these characters are fighting back on a century’s long curse.  The author’s writing is so descriptive that the reader feels like they are actually there during the conflicts. The chemistry between Josie and Daylan is palpable from their first meeting.  The reader is drawn into this story from the first page and stays engrossed until the last word!”

A little about CHARM ME AGAIN

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-29-20 Best Book/Movie/TV Couples

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-29-20 Best Book/Movie/TV Couples.  Lets get started.,

 

In reviewing my choices, I decided to list some of my own Best Book Couples. Yep, I’m partial to some of my Book Couples.

Lets start with couples Bruce and Angie from A Demon’s Witch, the first book in the series by the same name.  The adventures of Bruce and Angie are an entertaining escape from the ordinary world… be swept away into a magical romantic fantasy with a touch of mystery and suspense. Feisty witch knocks the demon overlord off his feet & turns his carefully ordered world upside down.

Who knew an assassin could be so sexy? A Warlock’s Secrets -this book wasn’t even planned. But after my readers and reviewer insisted, Hannah and Tritian tale was told. – Inside the house, a shadow passed by the huge bay window. She held her breath. Am I really going to go through with this? she wondered. The heavy oak door creaked open. Tristian stood shirtless, his abs rippled as he raised one muscular arm to lean on the doorframe. The skintight blue jeans hung low on his hips and his hair tousled as if he’d not been awake long. The sunlight streaming through the doorway accentuated several scars across his chest, rib area and a healed slash across his back. Who gets those kinds of battle scars and lives to tell the tale? Not going to ask. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Time Travel Gypsy adventure – Mystic Maples –  In the small town of Willow Springs, Mercy and Silvanus  must travel to the past to right wrongs to have a future together.  Mystic’s insatiable curiosity gets her in trouble at every turn. Sil’s family secrets have kept him from a serious relationship until Mercy tears down his walls and flings him head long into the past.

Linda Howard’s TroubleMaker –  Couple Morgan Yancy and Isabeau “Bo” Maran The harder they fight the intense heat between them, the closer Morgan and Bo become, even though she knows he’s hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost Bo more than she’s willing to give. And when Morgan’s cover is blown, it might just cost her life.

Lets talk TV couples for a moment – N.C.I.S. LA’s  Marty and Kensi They are partners as well as a couple on the show. Their antics and banter are an entertaining addition to the crime drama.

Moving on to Movie couples, Avatar – Jake Sully and Neytiri  the couple is multi-species (Gee imagine that LOL) and work hard for their happily every after.  It’s the only movie I’ve gone to the theater three times to see and bought the Blu-Ray.  A bit about Avatar –  In the near future, humanity is faced with a global energy crisis. Man has managed to exhaust Earth’s natural resources, and the RDA (Resources Development Administration) sees a solution to this catastrophe in the form of unobtanium, an energy-rich element that exists on the moon Pandora, a jungle planet orbiting a gas giant in the distant Alpha Centauri galaxy. Mining unobtanium is a difficult and costly endeavor, not only because of Pandora’s distance from the Earth, but also because the planet itself is dangerous to humans: Pandora’s atmosphere is toxic to humans and the Na’vi, a blue-hued race of beings, already inhabit it and protect its environment vigilantly.

Jake soon becomes supportive of the Na’vi’s plight as he gains a better understanding of their ways, and he proves himself to be a worthy Na’vi warrior. He is eventually integrated into the tribe and Neytiri chooses him as a mate. With his alliances changed, Jake sabotages a bulldozer that was tasked with destroying a sacred site, an act that prompts the RDA to order the complete destruction of Hometree.

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences.

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as Best Book/Movie/TV Couples. L&SR

Looking for peace and quiet, she finds just the opposite in a startling handsome but mysterious man and his dog.

Silvanus Forrest’s gypsy/fae heritage is a double-edged sword. The land he inherited from his parents is rumored to be enchanted. But when Mercy discovers the truth, his well-ordered life unravels, and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong.

Award winning  A DEMON’S WITCH–   Undeniable attraction and dark secrets between demon and witch promises to tear apart both their professional and personal worlds.

Keeping a lid on all the paranormal beings inhabiting Washington D.C., is a daunting job. Bruce, a six hundred year old demon and the Territory Overlord of the Western Hemisphere, keeps his finger on the pulse of DC’s power players through the activities at his highly successful Wycked Hair Salon. His movie star good looks and body builder physique keeps his dance card full and the rumor mills running.  Within these walls, his anonymity is safe, mostly.

Bruce’s world spins out of control when Angelique, a pint size, gorgeous witch, with an attitude breezes through the doors of his salon. She is the younger sister of Tristian, Bruce’s long time trusted enforcer, whose professional skills are second to none. Tristian is furious at the relationship between Bruce and Angelique, a dangerous situation, but something darker awaits them all. Yet undeniable attraction between demon and witch promises to tear apart both their professional and personal worlds.

New Hobby -Drones #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-22-20

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-22-2020 New Hobby I’m trying or would like to try! Drones!

This falls into the want to try category. Drones. Yep, years ago my hubby and I flew remote control helicopters. It say it was a blast, is an understatement. But eventually we lost my favorite in the blue sky and it crashed to the earth in a million pieces. We did repair it, but it sits on a shelf gathering dust because I’m afraid to fly it again. Anyway, I digress.

In researching drones, I decided to start with a mini and learn to fly it then graduate to the drones that can shoot 4K of video. My hubby is a photographer and that’s his ultimate goal. Me, I want to fly over places and enjoy the scenery.

My choice is a Mavic Mini then upgrade to the Mavic Air which files 2.4 miles with a maximum speed of 42.5 miles mph. It has forward and backward obstacles avoidance to help keep from crashing into things.   Gee I wonder if they have obstacle avoidance for humans? Now that would be something I could use. LOL  My ultimate dream machine, the Mavic Phantom quad. Yep it’s out of my price range right now.  It has a three-axis stabilized camera with a 20 megapixel sensor. It also has four-direction obstacle avoidance and six camera navigation system so it will avoid crashing into things as it flies up to 31 mph with a 4.3 mile range (unobstructed).  But it must be registered with the FAA.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the mysterious squadron of six to ten drones buzzing over the Midwest, great planes to include  Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska at night. They fly between seven and ten at night in a grid link pattern. Funny thing’s no one has any answers as to who is flying these drones. The Federal Aviation Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army  forces Command have been contacted and claim to have no information. Gee, imagine that.  One thing I do know, it’s not me. LOL

Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as new hobby I”m trying or would like to try. L&SR

How about you, any new hobby or one you want to try? Please list them in the comments.
