4 stars-- Duke of Pleasure (Maiden Lane #11) by Elizabeth Hoyt

Dark, sexy, and thrilling! Duke of Pleasure was everything I've come to know and love about Hoyt's romances. Passion, danger, and characters that'll leave you addicted.

So, basically, Hugh has made some enemies while trying to take down a secret society. Which kinda led to an ambush in a dark alley and kinda being saved by a mysterious masked...woman. Who vanishes just as quickly as she appears. Yeah, that'll catch a man's attention for sure. Her joining in on the hunt for the villains? Yeah...he's hooked.

Quote-tastic/Review-- the sweet spot-- Size Matters (A Perfect Fit #1) by Alison Bliss

Oh my gosh. Yall! New to me author. Totally became my crack. I had such a good time with this one. And pretty much turned my book into a veritable rainbow for all the little post it notes that mark all the hilariously amazing quotes.

So a few for today... this hero. He cracked me up. He's got one serious sweet tooth and he'd say things and I was like yup...yup that's about right. lol

I was, erm, a spot optimistic when planning this past week. lol The holidays--even though I really didnt do anything big and got to go to someone elses house to eat. SCORE!--threw me off. Ah well. I still got some stuff done so were good :D 

Crafting with Kitties-- Christmas Ornament Wreath

The holidays are here! And with that? A new wreath. I saw a video on facebook where they were using a pool noodle to make a wreath and thought...oooo! I can do this! But, alas, since it's not summer there are no pool noodles to be had. lol

4 stars-- When a Laird Finds a Lass (A Highland Fairy Tale #2) by Lecia Cornwall

Oh, yall. I'm loving this series from Cornwall. Highlanders? Yes! Fiery fierce heroines? Gah, yes! Romance, a gorgeous setting, and fun storylines? Indeed!

When a Laird Finds a Lass. Well, he did just that. Fished her right out of the ocean after finding her unconscious in the waves. Injured and with no memory of who she was. The clan he's now in charge of? They totally think he should keep her. *nods*

Insta-Wednesday: Squirrel!!!!!!!!

Because I love Instagram and fun pictures. The Herd's week ala Instagram :)

Cats, crafting, cold, cooking. Cheesy art. Yeah. There are a lot of Cs this week :D

3.5 stars-- Christmas Comes to Main Street (Briar Creek #5) by Olivia Miles

A small town baker with a love for Christmas and a big city visitor who looks down on all things festive. Ah yes. That's quite the duo. Christmas Comes to Main Street was a Christmasy good time and utterly delicious!

Alright so the quick of it is that Nate is in town to spend Christmas with his elderly aunt then heading back to his real life that is blessedly Christmas free. But then he runs--quite literally-- into Kara. And crushes her cookies. Cookies that she was delivering to his aunt's inn. Yeah. He got in a little trouble for that. But it has him hooked on the Christmas loving Kara and somehow challenging her to a Christmas competition. So much for trying to ignore the holiday!

Lists! Time for lists! Things we're thankful for...

4 stars-- Hard Compromise (Compromise Me #2) by Samanthe Beck

Dayum! Beck has me hooked! Hard Compromise. Addictive and just a little dirty. Okay, a lot dirty. And I loved every second of it.

Alright so gist of it is that Laurie and Ethan met 10 years earlier when he was a rookie cop and hauled her drunk, underage ass off a beach and sent her home. Being a bit of a wild child she propositioned him. He was like girl you need to grow up. Check back with me in 10 years. Fast-forward 10 years, lots of time spent keeping her safe over the years, and, well, it's finally time for a throw down of a naughty variety. Hallelujah amen.

4 stars-- True-Blue Cowboy Christmas (Big Sky Cowboys #3) by Nicole Helm

True-Blue Cowboy Christmas had me near tears one moment, bursting out laughing the next--and having to hop on FB to share funny quotes--and simply falling in love with a group of flawed characters that anyone would be lucky to have in their lives.

So the quick of it is Thack's little girl has gone exploring and landed on the neighboring farm at Summer's caravan door. And, well, he's a little overwrought from fear and she's a little past being rational from worry over the little girl and, whew, yeah, that first meet does not *hangs head* go well. But eventually it leads to her working for him and taking care of his little girl. And messy attachments kicking up no matter how hard they both try to resist. Oo!

Life Reboot #5-- Winter boxes, Wreathes & Plans

Life Reboot. Taking control of my life one day at a time...and having a blast doing it. Each week I'll share how I did and what I plan for the coming week. If you want to join in...please do! Either in a blog post or just share what you're doing in the comment section!
Okay so this week. I was lazy. Kinda. It was cold and windy and I was tired so I kept it fairly simple but still made myself get out for one social thing and did a lot of prep work and errand type stuff so I'm happy. :D

4 stars-- Hold Me, Cowboy (Copper Ridge: Desire #2) by Maisey Yates

Sometimes a girl really just needs to land herself on Santa's naughty list. Something Maddy set about doing in a glorious way. And she's gonna take her nemesis, Sam, down with her...one orgasm at a time. Hallelujah! Hold Me, Cowboy? total orgasm infused fun!

Okay so Maddy and Sam. They've spent years sniping at each other. She's snobby and always shocking people...he's cocky and always ready to snarl at them. And they just drive each other crazy. But a snow storm, a remote cabin, lots of sexual tension and a horrifyingly long time since either has had a social orgasm (thank you Jill Shalvis for that gem!) and, yeah, sparks and panties fly.

Thanks so much for having me here today!

Although I’ve had cats as pets for at least twenty years, I’ve always considered myself a dog person. For some reason, I thought I had to pick one or the other, and the sloppy, unconditional canine love seemed like the obvious choice.

4 stars-- A Cowboy Christmas Miracle (Burnt Boot, #4) by Carolyn Brown

They melted the baby Jesus and dun stole Santa! Lordy but Burnt Boot, Texas is one lively town full of quirky down right crazy people. A Cowboy Christmas Miracle was a hoot as the #LoveWar threatens to take both sides of the feuding town down for good.
