In Her Sights

By Robin Perini

2011 Golden Heart Finalist

Coming November 29, 2011 from Amazon Montlake Romance

SWAT Team Sniper Jasmine "Jazz" Parker can thread the eye of a needle with a bullet. As the only female sniper in the state of Colorado, Jazz is unique for more than her extraordinary marksmanship skills and cool head. Jazz Parker and her weapon defend the helpless by exacting swift and uncompromising justice. Not bad for the daughter of the town whore.

After growing up on the seedy side of town, Jazz believed when she'd changed her name and her life at fifteen, she'd buried her past. Two years ago, she even drove away the one man she believed she could love—ex-Army Ranger turned reporter Luke Montgomery—to protect her secret.

Then, in a fleeting second, the time it takes for one clean shot, one perfect hit, to save the life of the Governor's daughter, Jazz's world begins to crumble around her. Her past and her present now threaten to destroy the life she has carefully constructed for herself. Her face and name have been splashed across the front page—by none other than Luke Montgomery—and her past has reawakened with a vengeance. A vicious enemy is bent on destroying Jazz's life, forcing her to turn to the one man she can never have in order to stop a killer before she and everyone she cares about pay with their lives. Click here to read an excerpt.

I absolutely loved this book! This story pulled my heart strings as a young woman blamed herself for everything in her life that she had no control over and instead of looking at the big picture was stuck on all of her faults.  The man who once held her heart she pushed away has now come back to investigate the corruption within the police department. One fatal shot to save the daughter of a congressman blows open a twisted plot of crooked cops, secrecy, and someone from the past seeking revenge.

These events spiral Jazz Parker out of the very control she has spent her whole life trying maintain. The creativity of the author is awe inspiring as a crazed memory makes vicious comeback! A must read for anyone who loves a story of over coming the secrecy of the past and the thrill of mystery of what is responsible for the evil that has come to Colorado. Check out Robin Perini's website to look for more up and coming books !!!! What a great fast paced high stakes read with romance and thrill wrapped together.

The weather was beautiful but was no comparison to the awesome views of balloons soaring by that I have been watching on television all of my life! This year hubby and i ventured to NYC for the Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade! While the view was awesome....all the people pushing and shoving were not. A piece of advise to any of my readers whom try to brave the crowds please get there EARLY! I mean like 6:30 am!!! Entering Manhattan at 8 am an hour before the start was crazy! However, I think next year we will just watch it at home where i can curl up with a blanket and my two girls on the couch. We did venture to Battery Park after the parade and it was quiet, beautiful, and scenic views.  check out our awesome pics macy's NYC

She Can Run By Melinda Leigh

SHE CAN RUN by Melinda Leigh

Authors overview:

Beth Baker thought she was getting a fresh start at life when she
married Congressman Richard Baker. Handsome and wealthy, with a
sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide
the security Beth, a widowed mother of two, was craving. But shortly
after tying the knot, Beth realizes she's made a huge mistake. Richard
is not the upstanding gentleman she thought he was-rather he is an
abusive manipulator. And when Beth uncovers a dark secret about her
new husband, she knows Richard will go to great lengths to defend his
image and keep the secret closeted.  To protect herself and her
children, Beth must flee, and fast.
Riveting and full of passion, SHE CAN RUN, is a fast-paced,
multi-layered novel that will grip your heart and leave you on the
edge of your seat in suspense. Melinda Leigh has won numerous writing
awards for her paranormal romance and romantic-suspense fiction. She
lives in New Jersey with her husband and two teenage sons.
Publishers Weekly just gave the book high praise saying:  "In her
debut romantic suspense, Leigh carefully weaves the subplot of a
serial killer with the main plot of an abused wife on the run and
successfully ties the threads in a thrilling conclusion...Leigh's
tight, consistent plotting marks her as an author to watch."

This book by far was hard to put down chapter by chapter in a different view point of killer, victim, and innocent bystander leave you on edge never knowing where the storyline was headed. I highly recommend this read for someone whom enjoys television shows such as CSI and/or Criminal Minds as this storyline was previously something only Hollywood could capture. Leigh has once again blew my mind on how far and distorted a serial killers mind works and how underneath it all a love story looms.

Snowman fun at 70 degrees!!

Recently I was at my local Target and I am a frequent dollar bin shopper as you can always find neat stuff really cheap! I came upon snowman squeeky toys that I know my dogs would go crazy over. If many of you don't know I have two dogs Minnie a pit mix and Chloe a Shar Pei who have two completely different personalities. Minnie likes the snowman toy because she can bite down on it and make of habit of it squeaking while she knows we are not paying attention to her lol! Chloe on the other hand would rather use its softness as a pillow and carries it around like a baby :) These toys were a steal at $2.50 a piece for alittle enjoyment for my dogs...who knows what santa will bring them in their stockings this year from target!!

December 14, 2010

Here is a press release from the publishing company released yesterday:
NEW YORK, NY (December 13, 2010) — Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, a division of Hachette Book Group, and Stephenie Meyer have donated 1.5 million dollars to the American Red Cross International Response Fund from their proceeds from The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: an Eclipse Novella. As previously announced, one dollar for each book sold in the US from the first printing would go to the American Red Cross. The donation was made today by Hachette Book Group CEO David Young and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers Publisher Megan Tingley to The American Red Cross Senior Vice President of International Services David Meltzer.
"I'm so grateful that Little, Brown, the American Red Cross, and my fans made this generous gift possible," said Stephenie Meyer. "It's amazing to have the opportunity to help those so greatly in need."
"We've had the incredible great fortune to have one of the biggest publishing phenomenons in recent years along with The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner becoming one of the top selling titles of 2010," said Hachette Book Group CEO David Young. "Giving back is extremely important to the company, so it is particularly gratifying to be able to share our success with an organization as worthy as The American Red Cross."
After the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12th the International Response Fund (IRF) afforded the American Red Cross the ability to provide immediate funding for food and other urgently needed emergency relief items.
"The generous contribution of Little, Brown to the IRF is essential to the ability of the American Red Cross to provide help and hope for people during their darkest hours," said David Meltzer of the American Red Cross. "After the devastating Haiti earthquake, which took the lives of more than 230,000 people, the IRF allowed us to quickly purchase, ship and distribute aid. The Red Cross is extremely grateful for the support Little, Brown is providing toward our humanitarian mission."
"This kind of donation helps us provide a depth and breadth of services which is hard to match," said Meltzer. "Last year, the American Red Cross helped 68 million people through programs funded by the International Response Fund."
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner has become one of the biggest selling titles of 2010 and has dominated bestseller lists both in the US and around the world. The novella, the first new work from Meyer in nearly two years, debuted at #1 on the USA Today, Wall Street Journal and IndieBound bestseller lists as well as bestseller lists in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK.
In five years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. The Twilight Saga's translation rights have been sold in nearly 50 countries and 116 million copies have been sold worldwide.

New Renuzit Fresh Accents With Giveaway

I like the smell of pine and have purchased air fresheners a few times with this scent.  None of them are as good as the 'real thing' but have been close.  Renuzit has come out with a new air freshener for the holiday season, called Fresh Accents.  It comes in two scents; Winter Berry and Festive Snow (pine), and retails for about $2.00. The holder is  3" x 2.5" grey plastic with a 2-sided see through snowflake design that shows the pretty color of the scented gel, especially when the light shines through.  The ingredients include:  Fragrance, Silica (thickener), Polysorbate 20 (thickener), Yellow 11, C.I. Solvent Blue 104 or Solvaperm Red Violet R (dye).

It's very easy to use-- just remove the scented gel from the holder, peel foil cover off the back, and then insert back into the holder with the exposed gel facing the front.  It is very light weight and can be placed just about anywhere.  It is recommended to be kept away from children and pets for obvious reasons.  You can try it FREE by making a purchase and sending in your cash register recipe along with the rebate form, which you can access here.  It must have been purchased between 10/03/11 and 12/31/11--so you have until the end of the year to try these out for yourself!

So how well does it work? Upon opening the package both MH and I thought the scent was strong and went through the whole house.  We have an open floor plan, so it doesn't take much for any smells to travel.  He actually complained that it was too strong, even after weeks of use and said he didn't care for the Festive Snow scent.  The Winter Berry I placed in our basement which can have a stale odor at times.  I think this one had a better scent and didn't seem so strong that either of us complained.  After a month's use, the decrease in scent is noticeable, but you can still smell them when walking into a room.

 

{GIVEAWAY}

Three people will WIN a coupon to try out Renuzit Fresh Accents for themselves!

Then any extra entries can be done
