Book Review: If the Viscount Falls

It's here! The final book in Sabrina Jeffries' Duke's Men series. It's the one I've been waiting for: Dominic and Jane.

Years ago, Dominic ended his engagement with Jane because he couldn't give her the life he thought she deserved. After years of waiting, Jane finally becomes engaged to another man, yet needs Dom to help her in the quest to find her missing cousin. As the two begin their search, they find that neither of them has quite gotten over the other one. However, Jane refuses to give him to "Dom the Almighty". And Dom still believes that he saved Jane from a horrible life by not marrying her. Will these two ever work it out?

As usual, Ms. Jeffries writes a terrific story! The scenes between Dom and Jane are entertaining, amusing, and hot. You can feel the fiery passion they both try to hide. Dom's interactions with his siblings are great too. My favorite scene is the "insipid kiss" scene. The passion between them builds and as a reader, this is one of those great scenes you look forward to in a romance novel. While I am sad to see this series end, I think the author ended this series on a high note. I only hope to see the Duke's Men again.

One of the things that causes me to realize I found a great author - I read part of this book while on the treadmill. I actually didn't realize that 34 minutes had passed as I was so enthralled with this book! Now that's a good story!

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

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 ...

I'm not a perfect mom, I just play one on my blog

I read a blog recently that talked about food. The mom was very careful to say she buys farm-fresh food, only organic fruits and veggies, blah blah blah. Then she added how she fed her child a hot dog. But she couldn't just say hot dog. She had to specify it was nitrate free, turkey based, something or other. But why? Who cares? Is she so afraid of being judged for giving her child a real hot dog that she must waste precious words of her post making it damn clear that it was a super-healthy hot dog? Let me stand up and be the first to say I feed my kids real hot dogs. Well all-beef ones, but still. I didn't cloth diaper, not because I don't care about the environment, but because I'm lazy, and it's gross to me. However, I am planning on buying some cloth pull-ups because it's cheaper......... I didn't exclusively breast-feed, and my kids turned out fine. My kids have ketchup almost every night at dinner. My kids eat McDonalds. ...

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?
