I'm Not in Love...

This song is raunchy and hot...just like I like 'em...

Zoe Archer's 'The Blades of the Rose' Series

I recently came across Zoe Archer's first installment of 'The Blades of the Rose' series titled Warrior. I found the hero, Captain Gabriel Huntley, to be one of the most level-headed lead characters I've ever come across in PNR country. Confident but not cocky, he still managed to impress me. His counterpart, Thalia Burgess, is strong and courageous (of course) but not so much that she does not lose sight of the fact she needs Huntley-in more ways than one.

In some PNR's or most erotica works I've read, there can be a serious lack of plot. The plot in Warrior was refreshingly intriguing and I found myself wanting to really find out how it would all pan out. The mouthwatering erotic bits were the icing on the cake here. Nice, thick, real buttercream icing. Go out and get this one!

My new 'feel good' go to song:

Keyshia Cole - Heaven Sent

I love this song...

The Potential of a Man

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

My husband and I were driving home one evening and this was what the sky looked like. My appreciation for the beauty in nature comes from my dad. As far back as I can remember, he could be heard saying things like "What a sunset. Look at that...God that's beautiful." I remember that I would look, and concentrate really hard on what it was that awed him so. Then, I understood.

There is something about a breath-stealing sunset that is soul-calming to me. Some of my mortal brethren use the saying "Stop and smell the roses". I prefer "Stop and observe the sunset"...or sunrise for that matter.

Until next time, make every minute (and sunset) count.

"Teenage Dream" - Official Lyric Video

Okay, soooo not a teenager anymore, but I loooove this song! Great top-down-drivin'-down-the-freeway jam.
