Kitchen Master Silicone Grill Glove Review

These really do keep your hands safe from the heat. They are about an Extra Large Size so if you have real small hands you might want to practice with them before going into the heat. They are made from Silicone. They are very flexible. You can also open jars with these. They grip very well. They are dishwasher safe also for easy cleaning. Please watch my video review. See my Son in Law lay his hand on a hot grill.

Bluetooth Speaker B-trek S2 - Sentey® Review

I was given the B-Trek S2 Bluetooth Speaker in exchange for my honest review.
After playing with this speaker for a few days, there is nothing about I do not like. It is great!! It is loud, it talks to you, tells you it is ready to pair with your blue tooth device, tells you when it has paired. It has a micro SD card slot, you can put the card in it and listen to your music from the card, it has a built in FM radio. It has a 1 touch control to answer your phone calls. It is about 2x4 inches, and comes with a lanyard. It also has a 33 feet range. It has a built in Lithium rechargable battery that last up to 6 hours. Like I said nothing I don't like.

Sentey® Headphones Curve (Black) Ls-4124 Review

These are great earphones, have great sound, I love the inline microphone. They are very easy to adjust the size. But the best part is they are comfortable. The cord is long enough you can plug into a computer and not have to set right on it without moving. The plug in is gold plated, which i have heard makes a better connection. The inline microphone is omni directional so you dont have to hold it in your hand and speak directly into it. It never fails if I am trying to do something that I need 2 hands for someone will call and want to chat endlessly. This solves that problem. It also has inline control so I can shove my phone or mp3 player into a pocket and not have to dig it out every time I want to skip a song or answer my phone. And they are inexpensive. I did get my set in exchange for my honest review.

Multi Binder Reusable Plant Tie Review

These plant ties are great, they are the perfect size for all plants and small trees. They are adjustable and look like a zip tie. There is 5 in a pack, they have a double head I guess you would call it so you can actually tie up 2 stalks with the same tie. And the best part, they work everywhere with anything not just in the garden. There are several sizes to choose from, I got the (1/3" x 7"). I did receive these in exchange for my honest review.

My Review: Climax by Christina George

Christina George has done it again with Climax. The whole series has been a wild ride, I am sad to see it end. She has outdone herself with Climax the 3rd and final book in The Publicist series. This one is a long one, but it will keep you turning the pages.

In book one The Publicist you meet all the characters of the whole series. Kate, Mac, and Nick are the main characters of the series. Kate is a publicist turned publisher, Mac is the married now divorced lover of Kate's. Nick was the nephew of Kate's close friend who passed away, Kate and Nick had a whirlwind love and engagement in Shelf Life. Now in Climax the 3 are back together again.

I think my favorite part of the book was a quote " Love is never over, just over there." This book will show yo just how true this quote can be.

I really don't want to tell you much about this book because I was kind of shocked how it all ended up and I do not want to blow it for you. Just read it!!!

If you have not read books 1 and 2, you need to get them first or this one will not have the impact on you that it did on me and anyone else who read all 3.

I was given a copy of this whole series in exchange for my honest review.

Delicate Laundry Bags Set Review

This is an amazing set of Delicate Laundry bags. You get 5 bags in varying sizes. The biggest one would just about hold a whole load of laundry. They are made of a very soft mesh material with a zipper to hold it shut they do have a a zipper tab the zipper head folds into to also help protect your delicates. The mesh is a fine mesh so bra hooks will not come through and snag on other items. The bags are safe for the dry and fold up nicely for storage when not in use.

CLIMAX By: Christina George Blog Tour & Review

Book Synopses:

The Publicist (Book One)

Behind every book, there’s always more to the story.

Can one woman change an age-old institution like publishing? Probably not, but Kate Mitchell sure wants to try. As a publicist with a large, respected New York publishing house, Kate finds herself at the mercy of a broken publishing system, books that don’t always sell (at all) and author egos that are often, well, as big as the island of Manhattan.

Enter the star Editor, MacDermott Ellis. Tall, handsome, charismatic, married, and ready to save the day. Kate wants to do the right thing but her hormones seem to be driving her decisions. Then there’s Allan Lavigne, once a revered author, now as forgotten as yesterday’s news; and his nephew Nick, who wants to sweep Kate away from New York for another coast, California.

As Kate tries to navigate the landmine of publicity, the over-the-top author expectations, and the careful dance of “I’m sorry, your book isn’t on the bestseller list this week”, she also finds authors who are painfully overlooked by a publisher wanting more sex, more celebrities, and more scandal.

Shelf Life (Book Two):

It’s an industry of out-of-control egos, unrealistic expectations, and unfulfilled promises.

This is publishing and it’s Kate’s world, but maybe not for long.

When one of Kate Mitchell’s star authors is carted away in handcuffs, it’s only the beginning of her troubles. As her world crumbles around her, Kate desperately looks for anyone to hold onto but finds that happy endings are truly works of fiction. With the shelf life of her career and her love affair quickly expiring, Kate sets off on a new adventure…

Starting over in California is easy but Kate soon learns that leaving her old life behind isn’t. Nick Lavigne is eager to help her forget but two things still own her heart, the dream of discovering the next great American novel, and MacDermott Ellis.

As Kate tries to rebuild her life she finds a surprising gift that reboots her career in a new and unexpected direction. Suddenly her name becomes synonymous with one of the biggest bestsellers publishing has seen in ages and she's welcomed back with open arms.

But at the height of her success the ghosts of her past come back to remind her of the world she'd been trying to forget and the man who never let go of her heart.

Behind the book, there’s always more to the story. Welcome to Publishing, the ego has landed.

Climax (Book Three)

Kate Mitchell has never forgiven herself for breaking Nick Lavigne’s heart. Now he’s back and he’s moved on, and it’s affecting Kate’s life more than she’s willing to admit.

Kate Mitchell has everything. She's the head of a crazy successful publishing house, engaged to the traffic-stopping sexy Mac Ellis and she's about to sign one of the biggest authors of her career.

And that's when everything falls apart.

Everything is perfect…until it’s not.

In a city of 8 million people Kate manages to run into someone she never expected to see again.

Nick is handsome, impossibly kind, every girl’s dream, and Kate’s former fiancé. He’s also the brother of the rising star author she’s trying to sign. Now that Nick’s back in town and has moved on he insists he’s over Kate, but part of him still can’t get past how amazing they were, and his sister won’t let anyone forget how brutally it ended.

When Mac is dealt a life-changing blow, it forces Kate to question every single choice she’s made.

Follow Kate as she embarks on a journey of life and love, navigating through the decisions that will change it all forever.

Author's Bio:

Christina George has worked in publishing for twenty years (give or take). Here’s what this book isn't. It’s not a slam against publishing (though it is broken) and it’s not a slam against authors (though some of them are crazy). This book is not autobiographical though many of the stories are true. No you won’t know which ones, cause it’s more fun to guess, right? George continues to work in publicity and helps authors because at the end of the day she does love books, she loves publishing, and she loves authors. She hopes you’ll enjoy this romp through Kate’s world as much as she enjoyed creating it.
