#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

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.

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-15-20 Books I Can’t Wait To Read in 2020

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-15-20 Books I Can’t Wait to Read in 2020… Lets get started.,

In reviewing my choices, I decided to give JD Robb another try. My first book of her’s I hated. I was told my people that absolutely love her books, I’d picked one of her worst books in that series.  Figures.  So one more time I ‘ll try Golden in Death. 

In the latest thriller by JD Robb, homicide detective Eve Dallas investigates a murder with a mysterious motive―and a terrifying weapon.  Release date Feb. 4, 2020.

Next up, Linda Howard’s After Sundown, release date of March 31, 2020. 

Danger brings together two guarded hearts in a battle for survival in this irresistible story from New York Times best-selling authors Linda Howard and Linda Jones.

The Guardian by John Grisham. Again I loved all his novels until the last few years.  Seemed to me he was calling them in. Gray Mountain was a prime example. He spent the first six chapters rehashing what he said in the first chapter.  But I’m going to give him one more chance.

In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive.

Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as Books I Can’t Wait to read In 2020. L&SR

My Goals for 2020 #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-08-20

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-8-20 My goals for 2020… Lets get started.,

As I ponder what the New Year will bring, I decided on a few  of My Goals for 2020. First and foremost I’m going to slow down, take time to notice what is changing around me. I seem to always be focused on what’s coming up several hours from the present or days or weeks ahead. Life is to short to live life in that fashion. You miss so much. I hope to, no let me rephrase  I will do the following:

Have more quiet, reflective walks with Mystic my dog. We have great conversations as we tour the neighborhood or hike in the mountains.  One sided sometimes, but  my dog is a great listener and doesn’t judge.

Spend more playtime with our Eclectus parrot, Taco.

Take time to appreciate and enjoy each day.

Keep the those with negative thoughts or words at bay.  Life’s to short.

While working towards my professional goals,  I’ll up my word count goal to 8,000 words written in a week this year.

I hope to have one or two more books contracted and published. Really, I”d like to go for three, but… I know that is pushing it. LOL

Make time to exercise and lose weight.

Read and review least 25 books – GoodReads Challenge.

Promo… a necessary thorn in my side. Find new places to advertise my book. I’ve already made arrangements to attend a craft show and book signing at Pagosa Springs, Colorado huge festival over the Fourth of July. It will be my first time there.

Set up my promo’s in advance for an entire week, leaving me more time for writing.

Attempt to get my sales to the new level. Not an easy feat.

Search out more reviews. Yep this is a tough one.

Take more time for family and friends, you don’t know how long they will be around. The future is not a given so make the most of your present.

Last but not least, My Goals for 2020 spend more time camping in our new fifth wheel for long weekends from Spring to Fall.  All the comforts of home on wheels! LOL

I best get back to my WIP, or one of my goals will be slipping away before 2020 even gets started! LOL  Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom,

so let’s see what other authors list as their goals for 2020. L&SR

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 Book Boyfriend or Girlfriend

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge December 4, 2019, Book Boyfriend or Girlfriend This was another difficult topic, so many book boyfriends so little time, but I finally narrowed it down to a few.  

Let’s start with –Troublemaker by Linda Howard. Book Boyfriend  Morgan Yancy, an operative and team leader in a paramilitary group. Loved his character and his interactions with the heroine and her dog.

The Witness by Nora Roberts. Book boyfriend would be The  police chief Brooks Gleason is a laid back law man with a hippy mother. I found Brooks characteristics to be fun and sexy.

The Very Thought of You by Claire Marti – In this one book boyfriend would be Jake Cruz. Yeah he was a hunky fireman with a soft spot for animals. Do we see a pattern forming here? LOL

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention A Demon’s Witch. Yeah it’s my own book, in fact my debut novel back in 2015. But the hero, Bruce is just to smoking hot to ignore.  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.
Pssst…. I’ll let you in on a little secret… Shhh… I modeled him after my own real life hero I’ve been married to for many moons.  Just don’t tell anyone. Okay?
