I only wish this was on the weekend so I could listen to the radio show. *Sigh* I suppose I will have to log on later in the day to see who the winners are.

I am a total fangirl for Shelley Bradley.  I just finished re-reading one of my favorite ebooks by Ms. Bradley called “Naughty Little Secret”.

It’s about a divorced woman named Lauren who’s in love with her boss, Noah. She believes he doesn’t see her romantically so she just pines for him from afar. Then one day she starts getting gifts from a secret admirer.

One who has no problem telling her exactly what he wants to do…

Noah wants her too and decides to seduce her in secret. She has no idea he’s the secret admirer who has sent her lingerie and crept into her house to dominate her body at night.

All I can say is… this book is HOT!

I’m so excited! I sold the first in a new series to Cobblestone Press.  The series is about a very sexy company set in fictional Pleasant Valley, Virginia called Desire Incorporated.

The first book is called The Temp.

Ava Kincaid took the temporary job at Desire Incorporated because she desperately needed the money, not because she was secretly hoping to see her ex-boyfriend Gavin Sloan again.  She’s already been there, done that and gotten kicked in the teeth.  She just wants to do her job and go home.

But when they meet up in the halls of Desire, the chemistry between them is as strong as ever. Suddenly she’s doing way more than filing…

Temping has never been this good and Ava finds herself wondering if perhaps this position could lead to something more…permanent?

I can’t wait to get started writing the second book in the series, tentatively entitled The Intern. Check back for updates!

I’m officially a fan or HARLEQUIN!. Harlequin is celebrating their 60 year anniversary by making 16 full ebooks available FREE!

I am so glad it’s Friday so I can lay in bed all weekend and read. My ultimate guilty pleasure. A super thanks out to Meaghan Hatfield for posting about it or I might have missed it!

Check out the latest review on Michelle Lauren’s site. This week she reviewed:

The Crooner by Rida Allen

Sounds good.  I’ll have to stop over at Draumr Publishing and pick this up.  There aren’t enough good books about BBW (Big Beautiful Women).

Ok, so those of you who know me probably knew this one was coming. I’m a total fangirl for ….

J.R. WARD

The first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series is one of my favorites. The brooding warrior hero, the feisty heroine who doesn’t even know she’s becoming a vampire, the original take on the vampire myth – I LOVE IT.

I was never super into vampires before this either. So if you haven’t read Book 1 – Dark Lover, you’re missing a treat. Some people have issues with where the series is headed, but I am still in love. I love Urban Fantasy anyway so Ms. Ward’s departure from the usual romance rules doesn’t bother me one bit.

P.S. As always let me know who you’re reading. I love to hear about other people’s obsessions

I read so many books that I’ve decided to share with my readers some of my faves. First up for “Fangirl Friday” honors is…drumroll please…

MEGAN HART

I just read Broken and cried several times. This is erotic fiction at its best. Thought provoking, evocative and of course, very sexy.

Even though the heroine is married and fantasizing about another man, once you start reading you see that it’s not what you think.  It presents an interesting ethical dilemma and forces you to consider how you would handle yourself in the same situation.

This book makes you hot AND makes you think.

PS Let me know who you’re reading lately. I’m always looking for new books.

This is one of my favorite times of year.  No matter how bad things have been for people, we all have the hope that better things are coming.  Here’s to 2009.  May it bring peace, joy, prosperity and most of all – love.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
