Diva of The Night

Ouch!

So I'm nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Ok tomorrow I'm getting my teeth pulled. well two and two have to be done something with them - either filled or capped. I don't know why they hurt really. I don't have any visiable cavities, but there you go. They hurt anyway.

So wish me luck, but I'd rather you send me prayers ;)
I hope there aren't any complications and I hope I don't remember a thing. Geez I'm so nervous my chest is doing flip flops like your stomach should when you read a great I'm in love story. Man if I could write like that I'd be in heaven ;)

So I'm off until when I don't know. Hopefully I shall return a healthier person from these crazy teeth.

Romance today

Ok I'll admit it.
I love the old timey clinch covers. The wind blown hair, the woman held captivated by the handsome man starring into her eyes. Sigh. If only.

Real life, true love doesn't work that way. But that's what I like about it- that realm of fantasy (not the 'fantasy genre' ). That belief that true love conquers all and life is happy without further trouble after all is conquered.

Ah well.
I like the new covers too. There is an article about covers and romance today Click here.
To Read about it.
Isn't it sort of funny how far romance has evolved in the last 20 years? I find that amazing to begin with. No more hiding the books for fear of ridicule. Leave those pretty covers out for the world to see!

Back to real life. :D It's messy. And the Mom is always the one to clean it up. ;)

Bad Boys Ahoy!!

(I don't know about you, but I love this cover!! Can't wait to pick up my copy!!)

Bad Boys Ahoy!
Kensington

Oh, those naughty rakes. With their wicked winks, sensual smiles, and bad boy habits, you just can’t take them out in polite society. But who wants to go out when you can stay in...?

STOLEN PLEASURES Sebastian Blake, Earl of Merrick, long ago fled the responsibilities of his title to become the infamous pirate, Captain Phoenix. But the booty he’s just captured on a merchant ship is a fierce tempered minx who claims to be a bride...his bride, married to him by proxy on behest of their fathers. He could shame his hated family and return his beautiful wife untouched, but no treasure has ever proved more tempting to Sebastian, and making their marriage a true one-in every sense-is his one urgent desire ...

LUCIEN’S GAMBLE Lucien Remington’s reputation as a debauched libertine who plays by no one’s rules-in business or the bedroom-is well deserved. He gets what he wants, social repudiation be damned. But society can keep from him the one thing he truly desires, the untouchable Lady Julienne La Coeur. Until she sneaks into his club dressed as a man and searching for her irresponsible brother. Suddenly she’s in Lucien’s grasp, his to take, and his mind is filled with the most wickedly sinful thoughts. A gentleman would walk away from the temptation she presents. But then, Lucien has never claimed to be a gentleman...

HER MAD GRACE Hugh La Coeur never wanted to be the Earl of Montrose. Wine, women, and a hefty wager are preferable to responsibility of any kind. It’s certainly preferable to spending the night in an eerie, neglected mansion owned by a legendary madwoman. The duchess’s companion, the fiercely independent Charlotte, is another matter altogether. Hugh would be happy to spend as many nights in her bed as possible. He knows she’s hiding terrible secrets, but for once in his life, Hugh has the desire to take on someone else’s burden as his own, no matter what the danger...

They’re mad, bad, and totally irresistible...
