My Pug Bug

This is my Pug Ling-Ling. I bought her a new bed and she absolutely loves it. The look on her face is pure bliss...and she snored all night.

When mortal existence begins to weigh me down, I need to laugh. www.shitmydadsays.com picks me right up!

Okay, just finished reading Masked by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon. AMAZING story. I love, love, love alpha male characters. After reading this story, I've decided I love to see the vulnerable side of my alpha male characters in full effect. Especially if the source of said alpha male's vulnerability is the alpha female in his life.

The two main characters of the story, Charlotte and Max, are so different yet so alike as a result of their tragic pasts. They are both fiercely loyal and would put their lives on the line for those they love despite the fact one is a police officer and the other the head of an organized crime operation.

The chemistry between the two is tension filled, and when that tension snaps...oh, baby. The earth moves. Literally. I felt it.

<*takes a shaky, deep breath*> Anywho, I read this book on my iPhone version of Kindle, and needless to say I will be ordering the other two books via Amazon shortly.

Until next time, my fellow mortals...remember to make each minute count!

Of Mortals and Paranormal Novels and Things...

Who am I? Hmmm...where do I start? I'm a middle-aged, married mother of three. I have recently graduated from school, and I now possess a BS in Biology that apparently isn't impressive enough to gain employment.

I'm not always sure of myself and as a result I am not the most confident of people...but I have gotten pretty good at faking it.

I don't always say the right things and I have a tendency to laugh when I shouldn't.

I try not to give my guardian angel grief, although I'm pretty sure he has his hands full when it comes to me. Yes, I believe have a guardian angel--although admittedly I've never seen or heard him. Oh, and I call him Riley.

Finally, I firmly believe that chocolate is the key to world peace.

Being a mere mortal, I enjoy reading stories about beings that are not. I've recently discovered Gena Showalter's 'Lords of the Underworld' series. I honestly can't decide which demon possessed (yes, you heard me) Lord I like best so, clearly the whore that I am, I've decided to love each and everyone of them.

I am also a huge fan of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter novels. They feature guardian angels, but not in the classical sense. Her angels are powerful, power hungry creatures that create vampires out of a necessity to survive. They are also impossibly beautiful and sexually potent. You have to read her books to understand, but I promise it'll be worth it. If I could actually hear Riley, I'm sure he'd be in stitches over the depictions of angels in her novels.

Last but not least (because there are more), I am not mildly obsessed with Mary Hughe's vampires in her 'Biting Love' novels. There are four so far, and I'm trying (and failing) to wait patiently for her to produce another. Nikos and Logan are my favs, although the romance whore in me finds it hard not to love Bo and Julian as well. There's just something about a lovesick alpha male vampire with endless stamina and a voracious sexual appetite that appeals to me. I'm just saying...

If I haven't scared you enough already, feel free to come back and read more. Until then, make sure each minute of your mortal existence counts.
