Fun sweeps to enter for the holidays

Hi and good afternoon friends and family!  Who doesn't like free stuff?  One of my favorite hobbies to do when I am not working, doing housework or watching t.v. is sweeps.  In this entry I've included some links for things you can enter and hopefully win for the holidays.  I've also included my links to facebook and pinterest that have the sweeps in them.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

See you soon

Beccas' after party shenanigans











This is my daughter and friend Maddy eating candy.  Fortunately, Becca did not end up sick.  They were up until midnight, and were pretty much sleeping before I left for work around 11.  Kids!!!



Until next time~~~~

Blitz for a bad boy!


RELEASING JUNE 22ND........
Bad Boys After Dark: Mick

Indulge your inner vixen...

You asked for naughtier lovers, with the same fierce loyalty as The Bradens - Meet the Bad Boys... Four sinfully sexy, uber alpha brothers, about to fall head over heels for their leading ladies. .

Everything's naughtier after dark...
Amanda Jenner is done being a boring-man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she’s researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She’s waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action—and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party. 

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn’t do relationships, which makes the anonymity of a masquerade bar crawl the perfect place for a onetime hookup.

Amanda thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she bags a tall, dark, and sinfully delicious masked man—until she discovers the man she’s made out with is her off-limits boss. Mick’s already crossed a line he can never uncross, and one taste of sweet and sexy Amanda has only whet his appetite. When Mick offers to give Amanda a lesson in seduction—no strings, no regrets, and for goodness’ sake, come Monday, no quitting—the tables turn, and Mick’s totally unprepared for the lessons this sweet temptress provides.

The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

Other free books

These are some of the free books I myself have downloaded. I get them off twitter because I friend so many book lovers. Below are just a few I found to be interesting, and I will enjoy reading them on vacation for sure!     https://t.co/hpCkgMW0lu


https://t.co/yK5R4xo6q6

YOUR life can change in seconds!!

It can change in seconds, which is why I don't understand we as moms and dads have to play the blame game. A bump on a childs head, abuse. Bruises on a childs body, abuse. We as parents judge far too quickly, unfairly and unjustly. We cast stones when we shouldn't. So now authorities want to investigate the parents whose child fell into Harambes' enclosure. First, some facts of a real problem in our nation. A report for child abuse is called in every 10 seconds. 3.6 MILLION reports are made to child protective services a year. If you add multiple children, that amount equals 6.6 million children a year. These statistics come from childhelp.org the link is here. Here it is: my opinion. I've clogged up facebook and twitter enough. I think we should stop judging the parents. The dad wasn't even there, and there are facebook posts blaming him for something he couldn't prevent in the first place. Parents of children know that things can happen in an instant, seconds! They like to explore, play games, some toddlers even think taking off and hiding is a game for the mom or dad. They don't know. Things happen, end of story! Should the enclosure allowed for a 3-4 yr old to slip through, no. Is it the zoo keepers fault or the mom. No, the mom was at the zoo, she was nearby, not getting a latte. My opinion, if this were YOUR kid, (meaning the reader) you would think differently, and want to be judged less harshly. We are imperfect human things, and things happen to our kids. No matter how much we try to prevent them. So, should the enclosure have been made better? Obviously, the child got through it. Science, research, technology will always be there. We did not LOOSE the research, rather we gained a lesson we can all learn from, and begin new research. We can research how we can anticipate accidents like this from happening, and make it a much more safer world for animal and child. We can educate more, learn more, enjoy more. I know I had more to say, but for right now, this is enough. We really do need to stop throwing stones at each other.

AT ONCE


New Release....
Alex Troutt Thriller, Book #3
AT Once
“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”

FBI Agent Alex Troutt has no intentions of falling for anything. Apparently, neither do the bad guys, as the Boston area is once again targeted by extremists. Boston Strong of just a few years ago is now Boston on Edge. And this time, the targets are men of the cloth—priests.

At least that’s how it looks at first.

As investigators struggle to make sense of the bombings, Alex is thrown for a loop when the FBI assistant director asks her to investigate one of their own—a colleague and friend who is suspected of having ties to a known terrorist. Torn between her values of friendship and the oath she gave when she accepted her FBI credentials, Alex must now lead two investigations simultaneously.

The bombings don’t stop, and panic sets in as the carnage spreads beyond the realm of the original targets.

Bloody Sunday. The IRA. The movement toward peace. Wounds of decades ago have reopened, bleeding all over Boston. As she pieces together the puzzle, Alex begins to wonder just how innocent her colleague really is. It’s almost too much for her to fathom.

Just how far will someone go to make a stand?

Available to buy from.....

Also available
AT Bay (An Alex Troutt Thriller, Book #1)
Alexandra Giordano never knew she had it so good. Until it was all gone in an instant.

As she begins her daunting quest to uncover the black spots on her memory, what she finds isn’t sweet or charming or even pleasant. And that’s when she begins to question everything, including herself.

Her work as a Special Agent for the FBI is only a distraction, serving as a mental metronome…anything to crank the gears of her feeble mind.

And then it happens—a bizarre, ritualistic murder. She loses herself in her work, fully immersed in the investigation. Unable to recall even her own kids, she’s somehow able to formulatecoherent theories on what type of person could pull off such a sickening act.

As her mind slowly plugs a few memory gaps, her emotions are scrambled by the reality of herworlds colliding. And the resulting explosion tears her in two.

Can she pick up all the incendiary fragments to solve the twisted crime while she clings to somesemblance of sanity?

One woman can only keep so much…AT Bay.

Available to buy from.....

AT Large (An Alex Troutt Thriller, Book #2)
The pursuit of the truth. The hunt for a life.

For the first time in months, FBI Special Agent Alex Troutt feels almost normal, hanging out at a local bar with friends after work. Not long into the evening she stumbles over one of the most disturbing images she has ever seen.

And that’s only the beginning.

A body is found in Lowell, the human damage, once again, inconceivable. Hours later, another strike. Pushing heartache aside, Alex immerses herself in the investigation. But with every new clue comes a new twist.

With the killing spree drawing the attention of every intelligence and law enforcement agency in a five-state radius, Alex is forced to partner with an egomaniac from the CIA. Yet, even with limitless resources, every step forward proves to be a step too late, the kill list seemingly endless.

Once the killer makes it personal, Alex is left with no other option—she must confront the person who destroyed her life to try to cease the vicious murders. And when she finally learns the killer’s end game, every second counts if she has any hope of stopping the brutal killings.

The hunt will end. Will Alex?

MY how time flies

Yes, my how time flies!  My girls are 17, and 14.  Abby and Becky respectively, and I never blinked and now they are teens!  I miss the babies of course, but I am too old now to have babies, and can wait another ten yrs for grand babies.  

Becky will graduate 8th grade next week, and it gets me dizzy just thinking about their futures.  And it's true, the worrying never ends, especially with girls.  I am not sure how much moms of boys worry, but in today's world, I worry about my girls among many other things.

So this weekend, we are going to have a teen party before the summer revs up.  The teen party will include lots of springtime/summertime cleaning.  If I can get Becky to do any. When they were little, (and this is one of my favorite stories)  Becky would insist that Abby was the bigger slob.  Soon after, the girls got their own rooms.  Needless to say, Abby wasn't the biggest slob.  Even to this day, Abby is not the bigger slob.  Becky is still young, so I have time to instill the virtues of a cleaner room.  

Last night, Becky had her 8th grade dance, and told us of a boy she liked.  Well, this was the first I had heard of it.  And of course, all the girls were wearing dresses, except for BECKY!  I was at work, and Abby had tried to get my 14 yr old to wear a dress, but alas, had failed.  Becky felt that wearing a bracelet and having a purse was good enough for her.  UGH!  Well there is Thursday, I do have that.  I think I scheduled dental appointments that I will have to rearrange yet again.  No fun there.  

Right now all is well in the house at 4:30 am with Chucks' cpap mask squeaking.  Chuck is the girls confidante and hears all things they are afraid to tell mom.  Which of course is all things that evade grounding and any kind of punishment, and of course boys it seems.  Well, the summer is long, and next year I will have two high schoo
lers.  We shall see how that fares out.

and I am busy reading a book to review, so stay tuned for that.  my plans are to get busy with my blog, so I may post some delicious recipes that I have tried.  My next entry will be that.  Until next time~~~

Flair for Cardonnay a book review


NEW RELEASE....

When flamboyant senior sleuth Sadie Kramer learns the owner of Cioccolato, her favorite chocolate shop, is in trouble, she heads for the California wine country with a tote-bagged Yorkie and a slew of questions. The fourth generation Tremiato Winery promises answers, but not before a dead body turns up at the vintners’ scheduled Harvest Festival.

All four Tremiato siblings have possible motives, as well as a few peripheral acquaintances, but only one could be the guilty party. As Sadie juggles truffles, tips and turmoil, she’ll need to sort the grapes from the wrath in order to find the identity of the killer.

I loved this mystery! In fact it made me want to drink some wine, eat cheese and chocolate as I turned each page. I could almost smell the delicious truffles Sadie ate as the author described them. The Tremiato family has dynamics as we all do in our families, without the murder mystery. See who is the guilty one as you turn page by page. This author had vivid descriptions in Sadies' weekend off of the bed and breakfast that could fill the readers imagination. I could imagine my self enthralled in a game of rummy or sipping wine, as the reader should. Find out if her chocolatier friend Matteo is the criminal or a victim of jealous family members. You'll definitely be able to smell the chocolate! Until next time! Carole
