Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!



I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires, I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale.

In When the Rogue Returns, Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels.

Are you intrigued yet?

Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feelings of passion and love for each other, they just cannot get over their extreme fear that the other is lying.  Victor, however, grows jealous of another man in Isa's life, and Isa fights her own feelings for Victor.  Once they both realize they were framed for a crime neither committed, they must work together to find the real thieves and make sure justice is served.

I love how Sabrina Jeffries is able to mix romance and mystery together to create an amazing chemistry between Victor and Isa.  As they struggle to come to terms with the truth, you sense how they are still haunted by their vulnerabilities.  I think that's what I liked most about the book - they both seemed so innocent and honest, yet also so tortured by the incidents of the past. It wasn't just two random people fighting feelings of lust for each other, rather it was two people joined by marriage yet torn apart by another person's lies.

When the Rogue Returns will be released on January 21.  I highly recommend it.  I was lucky enough to also receive an autographed copy of What the Duke Desires, signed by Sabrina Jeffries!  In anticipation of the upcoming release, I am giving that copy away here to one lucky winner.  Good luck!

Books are always welcome, but a gift card is better, so I can get the ones at the top of my Wish List. Best gift is a trip to someplace special we have always wanted to visit, like Scotland, Ireland, and England. That, of course, is less likely to happen than the books or gift certificate.

Books, of course! I love receiving them and they are my preferred gift to give someone!

Now if you have an autographed new copy of Sabrina Jeffries's book, why on the earth would you giveaway? Myself, not on this life. That would be one of my few treasures indispensable. My best to you.

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
