Friday, February 29th, 2008Crenshaw Reading ~ Reading Frenzy
Thursday, February 28th, 2008This morning woke up feeling even more awful been battling a cold. It has won at least temporarily. I’m in bed and when I watched the news and saw how cold it is I was glad I was in bed. Oh my aching body. So I’m home under the covers. Only if it was for something else than being sick {wicked grin}.
I’ve been sick this week but still reading. I’ve read through a pile of books. Here is a quick list. I’ve read books by Johanna Lindsey, Linda Lael Miller, Jude Deveraux, and Julie Garwood. Yeah in a historical, medieval and suspense frame of mind. Since I can’t focus to well to give a really detailed reason why I enjoy all the authors just let keep it simple. Plot, characters and passion. Those three words say it all.
Now I am off to get back under the covers.
Between the Covers – Lay Me Down ~ pt 3
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008In this month’s Between the Covers I’m featuring Lay Me Down. Recently I’ve been getting questions concerning this book. The cover for this book is a theme cover. The genre is listed below.
Now let’s get Between the Covers….
Lay Me Down
By: Taige Crenshaw
Total-E-Bound
E-Book ISBN #: 978-1-906328-46-7
Genre: Paranormal (Interracial -BW/WM)
Series: Club Immortality
Link: Buy here
Blurb:
In Club Immortality everything is not as it seems.
Unlocking your inhibitions and being yourself is what the club is all about.
In this tale we explore the beginning of Syn and Micah the owners of Club Immortality. They have a lot to tell and have invited you to take a look inside this sensual haven. Remember nothing is off limits and all you have to do is be open to the adventures.
Open the doors and step inside Club Immortality…
EXCERPT:
Before they got carried away she needed to make a few things clear. “I only mate for life. There is no such thing as divorce for my kind. We’re possessive, opinionated and used to being in charge. I’m hell to live with.”
A smile bloomed across his face while his eyes lit with laughter. “I only want to be with you. I’m not going anywhere. I don’t share unless it’s absolutely necessary and I want you to be committed to whatever this may bring. I don’t like to fight but if you feel the need to I’ll accommodate you and we can enjoy making up afterward.” His smile went sensual. “I can live with hell and will give you as close to heaven as I can—in and out of the bedroom. As for being in charge… we’ll see what happens.”
Syn’s heart sped up as he spoke and her pussy dampened in preparation for his taking. Her voice was hoarse as she replied, “I want your word that if you ever want out you’ll make sure to hide so I’ll never be able to find you. I don’t know what I’d be capable of if you left me and I found you.”
His look went soft then his voice echoed in the room. “I can’t promise you such a thing, Syn. It will take you time to realize the only thing that will take me from your side is death. But you will realize. Even in death, I would come back and find you.”
She opened her mouth to speak.
He cut her off. “Shhh… I’ll give you this vow. If you ever leave me I’ll hunt the ends of the earth for you. When I find you, I will lay you down and take you until you can’t walk, talk or even imagine ever leaving me again.” He raised a hand extending it to her. “Come lay with me Syn.”

Temptation Tuesday – One of my Reading Places
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Since I was feeling crappy I decided to curl up with a book in one of my favorite reading places. On my couch. Actually spread out on my couch with the covers over me and a book in my hand. Sigh the bliss. I have a few places I like to read at in my house but my couch is one where I can relax, read then fall asleep if I want to. I could have gone to my bed another place I like to read but didn’t feel like it. The couch called me so I’ve been curled up on the couch reading and drinking some.
Come on Spring
Monday, February 25th, 2008With the cold weather and snow I am so longing for spring or heck even summer. I’m a little under the weather so the cold is really getting to me. All I want to do is curl up in bed under the covers but of course I can’t do that have to work. Sigh…. come on spring.

Crenshaw Reading Thursday – Strangers in Death
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
This week I finished reading the In Death series in time for Strangers in Death which released on Feb 19, 2008. I’ve mentioned a few times that I love JD Robb’s In Death Series. Eve and Roarke are such a complex couple. She is baffled by his love and he loves to see her being baffled. They are strong personalities.
In this newest book the case touches close to home. It is about money, love and marriage.
Which is more important love or money?
This is the underlying question in this story. Eve goes up against a cunning killer who everyone believes is so innocent. Everyone that is except Eve who sees through the facade. In this In Death it was more of a mental battle of wills than a physical. Eve had to match wits with the killer and prove they committed the crime.
In a scene Roarke said it best when he mentioned this time she wasn’t exhausted but revved to bring the killer down. Which she did by putting pieces together despite others doubting Eve when she said who committed the crime. Eve ignored them all and proved her case. One of my fav scenes was when Roarke went into a rage because ‘his wife’ was tapped until payday. Oh it was so not to be missed.
Of course Peabody, Feeney, McNab, Morris, Baxter and Trueheart were there. Charles and Dimarto ooooo… can’t say anymore or giving away a spoiler. And I’m very interested in Cher Reo the ADA that has been a few of the books. I can’t wait to find out more about her.
All in all I enjoyed Strangers in Death. Can’t wait for the next installment of the series later this year.
To the Victor go the spoils…..
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
I’m sure you’re wondering who won the Sony e-book reader bet between me and McKenna . Come on who do you think?
No it’s not me. She beat me by a page. A PAGE! Crap it was more of a 75 th of a page but it isn’t here nor there she beat me. Yes McKenna won our bet. She did
it by a hair. A hair I tell ya.
Picture it I was at my desk on IM as we had agreed so when we finished we would IM. Well all of a sudden I hear a ding and their’s the huge grin emotion in my IM. You know I started to growl (well curse really). Then another ding and this little devil popped up laughing at me. Shoot.
Anyway being the good sport that I am I called McKenna and we talked about color and so on for the reader. I ordered it and now it is on the way to her.But some good news since I was ordering one to fulfill the bet I made sure to get one for myself {wicked grin}. This has been fun since rarely gamble or bet on anything. McKenna is the same way. And if I had a dollar for the number of
times we told others the reason we don’t gamble and bet is because we lose I’d be rich. I may have loss this time but I’m glad this made me finally get an e-book reader.
Now we have another bet coming soon. Hey we both need some more books for our e-book readers.
A Reading Preempt
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Sorry there will be no Between the Covers today. It’s been preempted by the new In Death Series book, Stanger’s in Death. I’m in the process of reading it for the love of the series and to win a bet (grin).
I’m almost finished and see me winning the e-book reader coming closer.
Temptation Tuesday – Strangers in Death
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008A quick blog. I’ve got the new JD Robb book Strangers in Death. I’m reading it as we speak. I have to get back to reading. I have a bet with a friend to see who will finish reading it first. The prize for the wager is a Sony E-Book reader. {rubbing hands together in anticiaption) I’m so going to enjoy winning.
Heck even if I didn’t have the bet as incentive I would still read this book fast. Refer to my love affair post. The prize for the wager just adds to the joy of it. {wicked grin} Watch out McKenna I want that reader bad.
Back to reading.
