The reviews keep rolling in…and good ones too. Contessa from Romance Junkies gives One Week Stand 5 Ribbons

Talk about smoking hot! Lyric James’ ONE WEEK STAND is highly arousing and very amusing. I was in a constant state of passionate desire from start to finish. Picture coming face-to-face with the person that you shared a one night stand with - the one person who you thought you would never see again. As you can imagine, sparks flew and it was very intense in more ways than one. The attraction that brought Jasmine and Evan together in the first place was still there and the chemistry between them refused to be denied. Throw in an unbeknownst friend/cousin who was determined to unite them as a couple which only added more fuel to the blazing fire. You will be both laughing and panting to catch your breath as you work your way through this breathtaking story. I took great pleasure in reading this astounding tale. Ms. James is fast becoming one of my favorite authors!

Whoohoo! Another awesome review. It won’t be posted on their website until next month though.

Join me tomorrow on the CataNetwork Readers Loop. I’ll be online from 2p - 3p CST sharing excerpts.

Another Review!!!

Sheryl from Ecataromance gave One Week Stand 4 Stars!!!

A sinful delight, One Week Stand takes the reader on a ride through passion and leaves them gasping for more. I loved reading about all of these characters, they seemed larger than life and so real that I expected to look around me and see them. I fell in love with Evan and Jasmine...

Isn*t that great! Click here to read all of the review.

Well, on a personal note I signed both my girls up for Karate today. We finished the complimentary lessons last week and they enjoyed themselves so much, we decided to go ahead and sign them up. Because my hubby is a police officer, we got 20 percent off the join up fee and the monthly fee, which was great. It ended up being much cheaper than I thought it would be…which is good. Karate is supposed to build self-confidence and self-esteem, plus teach them discipline and help them learn how to protect themselves. In the world these days, girls need that. So, I hope it helps.

I was swamped today at work so I didn’t get to get any writing done. Then, we had to rush home and do homework and get ready for class. After we got home, I had to cook and get all the little people bathed and ready for bed. So, as I sit here at ten o’clock, I*m about as pooped as I can be. I*m off for a shower and bed.

Oh… went to Barnes and Noble today and spent waaayyyy too much money on books, but I couldn’t help myself. And I still didn’t get one of the books I wanted because for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the author*s name. Now, I HAVE to go back and get it. Right? LOL I hope you all had a great and blessed day.

Thought I’d Share

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006 | Uncategorized | 7 Comments

Did any of you notice the difference on my blog yesterday? My good buddy, Shelli Stevens guided me through removing the WIP’s in the margin and instead, adding pictures of my books. Besides, I wasn*t updating that dang word meter anyway, and two of those WIP*s I’ve kinda put off to the side for now. Which reminds, me, I really need to get my webpage updated. Hmmm…too many things to do.

Well, since my web page does needs updating I thought I*d share what I*m currently working on. This story has been really calling to me since I got an *R* on it and I actually think I*ve figured out a way to still keep it paranormal, but a little bit different. So, here’s the blurb…let me know what you think.

Robyn Hood

Jewel Thief Robyn Hood gets more than she bargained for when she breaks into the mansion on the hill. She witnesses a murder. And not just any murder. It*s something supernatural that can*t be explained and no one will believe. Things get even worse when the police believe the person who robbed the house committed the crime. So, Robyn decides to hide out with on again off again love Brandon Davis, who has secrets of his own he*s been keeping.

As a secret agent of the PPF (Paranormal Police Force) Brandon Davis knows all about those things that go bump in the night. For the last ten years, he*s worked to keep the witches, warlocks, vampires and other creatures of the night a secret from the *normal* world. However, things get a little dicey when the love of his life gets blamed for a crime he knows she didn’t commit. Can Brandon protect Robyn and find the real killer before she becomes the next victim?

Notice the title? My Robyn Hood has a reason she’s a thief too, but you*ll just have to wait and read the book to find out why.

Remembering….

Monday, September 11th, 2006 | Uncategorized | 7 Comments

I remember exactly where I was September 11, 2001. In a classroom full of students. It was my second year teaching, it was second period and we were going about our day just like normal. Then, a friend and fellow teacher came down to my room and told me what happened. I was like…you’re lying…no way. At this point, only the first tower had been hit. I turned the TV on in my room and probably about 10 minutes later, the second plane hit and we (me and my students) couldn’t believe it was real.

I watched the movie United 93 on DVD Saturday. My husband bought it last week I think, but I wanted to wait to watch it. (I’ll tell you another story about my hubby’s hobby/obsession with DVD’s another day.) It was hard to watch a movie that you already knew the outcome to. But seeing the background stuff at the FCC and with the air-traffic controllers and the military was really eye opening. If it was true, boy I sure hope they’ve improved since then. Well, I honor and salute those who lost their lives that day and hope their families are coping with the loss.

I decided that I was going to start posting my daily progress with the WIPs I*ve been working on. Hopefully, this will help me keep mywriting butt in gear and stop being a slacker. LOL

***One Week Stand receives 4 Stars from JERR***

*I absolutely adored this story. Lyric James can count me as one of her new fans.*

Isn’t that great! This is the first review I*ve ever gotten from JERR and I*m really excited about it. They haven*t put the review on their site yet, and for some reason my computer will not allow me to cut and paste. Rats! But, I*m happy nonetheless.

If you didn*t get a chance to pop over to the Cobblestone Discussion group, you missed a treat. The authors posted lots of excerpts and gave away lots of prizes. You still have another chance though. We*ll be on the Cata-Network Readers Group (I’ll be on 2p-3p CST) next Thursday and again on the Cobblestone Discussion Group (I*ll be on 3p-4p CST) next Friday. So stop by and join us.

First Review for *One Week Stand*

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006 | Uncategorized | 7 Comments

3 Cups from Coffee Time Romance

This is a sweet love story with some really scorching love scenes. Amid the hoopla of a large wedding, two of the wedding party find out they are able to relive the fiery attraction they found for each other in the past. Evan and Jasmine are both likeable and well-written characters. Kim is a busy bride cum matchmaker extraordinaire and the story line is easy to follow.

Isn’t that a great review? Want to read the rest of the review, click here.
