Book Review-Diana Adores the Puzzled Earl: A Historical Regency Romance-Hannah Hamilton

Wednesday, October 30, 2019


Well this was a reversal--a male has to ask a female to publish a book he wrote under her name. I mean way back then the Titled gents were not supposed to write travel novels with romance--it just wasn't done! But the Earl of Donnelly had done just that and he really wanted his book published. Even the publisher who liked the book would not publish it saying that it might affect his business adversely. But he had some suggestions and Diana Browning was one of them. She was also a writer of romance. They decided to give it a try.

Diana's family was in trouble and she could use the extra money--she also agreed to marry a young man if he could convince his father to give her father a loan. What a mess!

Diana and Robert, of necessity, had to work together frequently. Robert began to realize he loved Diana--but she was engaged to another man--so he kept his distance in that respect.

There are several other characters that deserve mention--the twins were Diana's friends and non stop fun and games. Robert's sister was not the nicest of people and even Queen Victoria makes an appearance.

Lots goes on and twists that will make your head spin! There is laughter (via the twins) and the elderly spinster ladies (also neighbors of Diana).

Can a Lord of the Realm and the daughter of a university professor and scholar make all this work--and what about them?


About the Book: (from Amazon)

Robert, the young and handsome Earl of Donnelly, has a great passion for writing novels but as part of the nobility, it is socially impossible for him to openly publish fiction in his own name.

After much searching, he finds the young Diana Browning, a charming and well-established romance writer, who agrees to publish the book under her name.

As Diana and Robert begin to work together, they find they are becoming increasingly attracted to each other. But, Diana is engaged and unavailable.

However, circumstances contrive to bring many surprises, and nothing comes out as anyone quite expected.

♥ A historical romance novel full of twists that'll keep you turning the pages ♥

*Diana Adores the Puzzled Earl is a historical standalone romantic story of 80,000 words (around 380 pages). No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a sweet happily ever after.

About the Author: (from Amazon)

Hanna Hamilton has been fascinated with the Regency era ever since she was a young teen, first discovering historical romance novels by famous authors such as Jane Austen and Lisa Kleypas. She believes that love was just so much more magical back then, more like a fairy tale. She always daydreamed about finding love herself that way, but since that is impossible in the twenty-first century, she decided to write about it instead!

Born in Texas, Hanna Hamilton obtained a degree in Creative Writing and has worked as a literature teacher before becoming a novelist. When she isn't writing, Hanna likes to explore the countryside with her husband and two children, gaining inspiration from the natural world around her.

So, come on a journey into love, confusion, and redemption all within the Regency era. Hanna hopes that you will enjoy immersing yourself into her novels and that you too will find a love for old-fashioned romance, just as she has.

E-Book-Tru Blue-2-WW-Review of Taming My Whisky-Melissa Foster Ends 11/11



Dixie Whiskey has never forgotten her teenage crush, Jace Stone. He was best friends with one of her big brothers and never even looked twice at Dixie. Dixie didn't really need a man but that didn't mean she didn't want one--of course with those big brothers around none of the guys in the town she lived stood a chance! Besides--she still was looking for a man like Jace.

She was always doing something for the community and was now holding an auction where all the single men would be auctioned off to raise money for the Wonan's shelter.--suddenly Jace appeared. It seemed he wanted her to be the calender girl for his new motorcycle and clothing line. He knew she would be perfect--she refused but Jace was stubborn and not about to give up!

Dixie and the other females of the town (which included Dixie's Mom) had a BIG surprise in store at the auction.

Dixie finally had to accept that she would be the face of Jace's company and goes with him to NYC which is where it gets hot and heavy. Neither will admit that it is more then a one time fling--but Dixie is heartbroken again. They go back and forth, on again off again.

This one will keep you hopping--will they get together or won't they. Can both of them leave the past behind and learn to accept each other as they are. I am sure you will enjoy this one!!




Buckle up for a wild ride as Dixie Whiskey finds forever love in TAMING MY WHISKEY, a funny, sexy, and emotionally riveting standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.
The perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more!



In TAMING MY WHISKEY… 

Being the princess of the Dark Knights motorcycle club doesn’t come with a white knight or a fairy-tale castle, and that’s okay, because Dixie Whiskey has never needed a man to slay her dragons or make her whole. Even so, after watching each of her brothers fall in love, she’d sure like a shot at her own happily ever after. But with the Dark Knights watching over her and the only man she’s ever wanted out of reach, she’s not holding her breath.

As the launch of Silver-Stone Cycles’ biggest line approaches, Jace Stone is left needing a favor from the one woman who holds the power to take him to his knees. He knows when it comes to sinfully gorgeous and sharp-tongued Dixie Whiskey, he must stay on his toes and keep his walls firmly in place. But Jace needs her for his business—and Jace Stone always gets what he wants.

When the tall, gruff, and darkly handsome biker presents an opportunity that any other woman might see as the chance of a lifetime, Dixie turns him down flat. But Jace is determined, and he pulls out all the stops—sending Dixie’s overprotective brothers up in arms. Rebellious Dixie takes a stand—going after the freedom, and the man, she’s always wanted. One scorching kiss leads to an undeniable connection, but Jace isn't looking to be tied down, and Dixie refuses to play second fiddle. Can two untamable hearts find forever love in each other’s arms?

The Whiskeys are perfect beach reads with depth of story, strong family ties, and a wealth of emotions. Small town love stories with happily ever afters guaranteed.

Blendjet One-a small portable Blender @blendjet

Sunday, October 27, 2019


This is NOT a sponsored post--I did not receive nor will I receive any compensation!

Being single and living alone has some problems--so does having a very small kitchen with very little counter space! I have always wanted a blender that I could purchase that would fit on my counter top--and be easy to use. I was hoping that it would be large enough to make a single glass of smoothies or any other blendable concoction I could dream up. Well, I found it!!

I was going through Facebook and noticed an ad for Blendjet One. I bought it and I love it! It really does take fruit and makes it into a juice!

This is what they say on their website:


"The Original Portable Blender®

BlendJet was founded in San Francisco, California with an ambitious goal: Make a powerful blender that you can take anywhere! We created the BlendJet One because we wanted a convenient way to make fresh smoothies, shakes, margaritas, & baby food on the go."

I absolutely love that it has a battery that is rechargeable and it is easy to clean--always a plus for me since I do not have a dishwasher. The fact that you can take it with you where ever you may go will endear it to many out there. All that is needed to recharge it is a usb port.

I am so glad I bought this! They have several colors and I picked the yellow--it is now standing on my kitchen counter top waiting for me to make a breakfast drink on the morning.

If you are looking for a small blender that gets the job done and can go anywhere you go then check out their website. This would make a great addition to a college dorm room or as a gift to almost anyone!!

E-Book-A Love So Sweet-2-WW-Guest Post of And Then There Was Us-Addison Cole Ends 10/27

Thursday, October 24, 2019


Guest book review by Tracey Faulconbridge

This is the story of Brianna Heart and her six year old daughter Layla.
Brianna has set herself a twelve year plan of swearing of any relationships until Layla turns eighteen and being the best mother she can be.
Hugh Braden, a Capital Series Grand Prix racer, decides to go on a blind date as a favour to a friend instead of dating his usual leggy blond models.
While on his date in the Old Oak Tavern, Hugh has only eyes for the waitress instead of his date and is determined to make Bree his.
Bree is quite independent and money cautious and when she meets Hugh sparks fly but she has to think of her daughter, but Hugh is so charming and wants to take care of both of them.
This is another great story by Addison Cole and look forward to the next instalment in this series.


NEW RELEASE...

Discover the magic of the Bradens, and fall in love with Addison Cole's rich and romantic storytelling.  Addison Cole is the sweet-romance pen name of New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole novels are the sweet editions of Melissa's steamy romance Love in Bloom series, and are written to stand alone, or to be enjoyed as part of the larger Sweet with Heat series.


Brianna Heart has a six-year old daughter and a twelve-year plan to keep her life as simple as possible until Layla turns eighteen. That means swearing off relationships and the drama that goes along with them, working two jobs, and being the best mother she can be.

The last thing Capital Series Grand Prix racer Hugh Braden wants after dating media-hungry leggy models and money-hungry fan girls is a blind date. But how could he turn down a favor to one of his best friends? Hugh expected the date to go poorly, but he didn’t expect to be intensely attracted to the beautiful brown-eyed bartender who completely blows him off—and steals his every thought thereafter.

When Brianna’s perfectly orchestrated life turns upside down, Hugh is there to help, softening the turmoil, and maybe even rescuing her heart from the lonely place where it has been hiding. Can a man who doesn’t believe in fate and a woman who doesn’t believe in true love find happiness in each other’s arms forever?


And Then There Was Us is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy Love in Bloom edition, Hearts at Play, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.

Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break--working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and--just maybe--explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.

Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.

When Josh and Riley's friendship heats up, every steamy kiss, and every passionate caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley's mentor accuses her of stealing the design.
Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry--and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.

Unraveling the Truth About Love is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy edition, Friendship on Fire, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.

The Art of Loving Lacy (Sweet with Heat: Weston Bradens, Book 4)

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.

As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.

More than a year—and hundreds of flirty texts, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.

The Art of Loving Lacy is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy Love in Bloom edition, Sea of Love, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.

Promise of a New Beginning (Sweet with Heat: Weston Bradens, Book 5)

After having her heart broken by a country music star, Savannah Braden has sworn off men. She takes a break from her fast-paced Manhattan lifestyle for a weekend at a survivor camp to rebuild her confidence and readjust her priorities. But when she meets the handsome guide, Jack Remington, she's drawn to everything about him--from his powerful physique to his brooding stare--despite the big chip on his shoulder. Powerless to ignore the heated glances and mounting attraction, Savannah begins to reassess her hasty decision.

After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Jack Remington found solace in the Colorado Mountains. This solitary existence allows him to wallow in his guilt and punish himself for having made a decision that he believes cost his wife her life. He never expected to want to return to the life he once knew--but then again, he never expected to meet gorgeous, stubborn, and competitive Savannah Braden.

One passionate kiss is all it takes to crack the walls the two have built to protect themselves, and allow love to slip in. While Jack fights his way through his guilt, and struggles to get back into the lives of those he left behind, Savannah is there to help him heal, and together they nurture hope that they've finally found their forever loves.
