The Sheik’s Challenge by Elizabeth Lennox

When she sings, she sounds like a cat in heat…but Ana, a brilliant mathematician, stuns and surprises Najid del Sabur, Sheik of Safir. Her bright eyes defy him and her smiles sooth him, while her body makes him lust for her. But can he catch her? Can he convince her that her past won’t hurt their future?



The Prince’s Challenge by Elizabeth Lennox

She can’t sit still. She’s beaten every nurse and doctor on her floor at cards. And she’s achingly beautiful. But is she friend or foe? Having been caught in the line of fire by a bullet meant for his brother, Prince Jual del Sabur, Minister of Defense for Safir can’t decide if the lovely Sonya was part of the assassination attempt or innocent and just caught by bad timing. All he knows is that he is definitely caught by her startling eyes and her soft sighs as he explores that question.



The Sheikh's Untraditional Lover by Leslie North

Ultra-traditional and devastatingly handsome Prince Zafar Tadros thinks a business/sports complex is not what is needed for his country—but he believes in helping his family. With the region increasingly doing more business with Western companies, his father Sheikh Ahmadi has ordered this new business/sports complex to be a mix between West and East cultures.

Zafar has decided he will work to integrate as much traditional elements as possible, but Belle Mooney, an innovative American architect has taken her direction from Zafar's father and is going for innovations. The two clash over designs—and only one can win.



The Sheikh's Stubborn Partner by Leslie North

With the deadline fast approaching, playboy Prince Adyan Tadros must supervise the only construction company that will take on the job of building the business/sports center in less than six months. The meticulous Edna Abbey has taken over her father's construction company while he recovers from a stroke, and the last thing she wants to do is rush the project. But with attraction between her and the Prince growing everyday, she may be glad for the distraction...

Excerpt Two:

The Sheik’s Challenge By E. Lennox

Two things hit her all at once. First, the man was naked! Well, he had a towel wrapped around his lean waist, but that was it. He had another towel in his hand that he used to dry his hair, then rubbed it against his chest. Ana couldn’t do more than stare, fascinated by that hand as it moved the towel over all of those muscles. They were everywhere, the skin and muscles flexing as he dried himself off. Was his hand moving more slowly? Was he…

Her eyes flipped up to his and she blushed when she realized that he was watching her, watching him. “I’m sorry,” she whispered and licked her dry lips.

I enjoyed it,” he murmured. “Feel free to take over.”

Ana felt her breath catch in her throat and her eyes moved down over his body again, her mind spinning out of control at the idea of drying off that man’s chest and arms. And…everything else.

Prince’s Challenge By E. Lennox

When she realized what time it was, she looked down, embarrassed to have monopolized the evening so completely. “I’m sorry. You’re probably sick of hearing about the escapades of my students.”

Not at all. It is refreshing to hear about someone who loves her job.”

She smiled but looked away, unable to hold the intensity of his gaze. “I’m sure you have other priorities on your time.”

He glanced at his watch. “I don’t, but you need sleep. I’ll come get you in the morning for breakfast if that is convenient?”

She shook her head. “No need,” she told him, standing up and feeling relieved that her muscles held her upright once again. They would start to wobble soon, but for the moment, she was steady. She cinched in the tie to the robe, painfully conscious that she had nothing on underneath. His eyes told her that he was conscious of that fact as well and her whole body heated.

Thankfully, he didn’t mention her lack of clothing, proceeding on as if she were completely dressed. “There’s every need,” he said and came around the table. Taking her hand, he kissed her knuckles gently. “Until tomorrow morning,” he said. A moment later, he’d disappeared and she was standing there by the table looking at the now-empty doorway.

Sonya had no idea what was going on, why she was here or why he was spending so much time with her. She suspected he carried a great deal of responsibility on those broad shoulders. So why was he spending time with her? Listening to her drone on about her students and helping her to bathe?

She walked over to the large bed, still blushing at the memory of his heated eyes looking at her as she stood in the shower area. She slipped beneath the sheets and, because he was no longer around and she felt “safe”, her mind wondered about how it might feel to have him touch her with more than just his eyes.

Colore Art Paint Brushes With Nylon Wrapping








I am by no means an artist but I do a lot of crafts that involve painting. This is the perfect set of paint brushes for any one who does any painting. There are so many sizes that any project could be completed with this set.

There are 35 brushes of different sizes and bristles. There are 3 sets of paint brushes with different colored handles for different types of paints. You get 12 Oil Paint Brushes (Black Handle), 12 Water Color Paint Brushes (Yellow Handle) and 12 Acrylic Paint Brushes (Red Handle).

The case that holds all of the paint brushes is the type that rolls up. There is a flap that folds down over the tops of the brushes so even if dropped or shook the brushes will not fall out. Each brush has it's own compartment so they do stay in place. The holder is made out of a nylon material. The holder can be tossed in the washer when it gets dirty as well.

I have tossed out a lot of my older brushes and stored pretty much the rest of my brushes since getting this set.

Watermelon Slicer Corer Bonus Set of 4 Fruit Forks by Roukos




I had bought another watermelon slicer and it was plastic it broke the 2nd time I used it, but I loved how it worked so I came back looking for another one. This one is stainless steel and should never break on me. Using one of these cutters takes a little getting used to I have to admit but once you get it figured out it is awesome. It cuts the watermelon out of the shell so you don't have to worry about the kids eating the rinds and getting belly aches. Watermelon can be quite messy with all the juice. You never have to touch the melon and the juices stay in the shell. The cutter is very easy to clean just clean in a sink of warm soapy water or toss it in the dishwasher. If taking on a picnic you can just run it under water and it does clean the sticky juices right off of it as well until you get home. Being stainless steel you won't have to worry abotu it rusting either. This also came with a set of 4 fruit forks. Great for setting on a buffet style table and not having to worry about people touching the melon. The forks are small 2 pronged forks about 5 inches long. They are also stainless steel.

Mosiso Travel Umbrella, Vintage Lace Pattern






I love how pretty this umbrella is. It has a beautiful blue color then a ring around the edge in a lighter blue color with swirling lines. IT is just very pretty to look at. I know it is an umbrella and if I am using it correctly I will not be seeing the swirls but I know they are there. I took this umbrella with us on vacation last week and we were caught in the rain a couple times on our drive, so it was nice to have this with us. This umbrella folds down  to about 11 inches and is about 2 inches across. When it is open it is a little over 22 inches tall and almost 38 inches across. It comes with a nice bag to store it in when not in use as well. It fit perfectly under the seat of the car. I also had it in my tote bag when we were out exploring. It is very light weight and was easy to carry. There is also a wrist strap on the umbrella if you are not carrying a tote bag, The umbrella opens very easily with a push of the button on the handle. It also closes easy with the push of the same button.

Synopsis:
Mandy Hemphill is living her dream, running the successful Rose Cottage Cafe in Orchardville, Texas, from the ground floor of a converted, old—and possibly haunted—downtown home. She even had plans to grow her business with a new outdoor patio…if only the mayor wouldn’t have turned her down.
So when the beloved mayor is found murdered, Mandy finds herself among the suspects. And now business at the cafe is dropping faster than a fallen soufflé. How can she prove her innocence and save the Rose Cottage Cafe?
Thankfully Ben, the new owner of The Orchardville Gazette, doesn’t believe she’s guilty. As the two of them set out to find the real killer, they uncover one small-town lie after the next. But the closer they get to learning the truth about who killed the mayor, the more in danger they find themselves.


My Review:
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read which was really nice since I have been kind of busy lately. The story was great with no boring parts for me. There was not tons of description and I really liked that. I love it when author's give you just enough to make things and places give you an idea but don't over power the story with filling you in on details that have nothing to do with the story. The books main characters are Mandy who owns the Rose Cottage Cafe, and Ben a new comer to town who is starting his own local newspaper, and of course the biggest part of the story is about the murder of Mayor William Walter's. Mandy is on the suspect list since she was upset with the Mayor for not allowing her to add on a patio to her restaurant, and she didn't mind letting people know she was mad about it. Ben and Mandy team up to do some amateur detective work to try to find the real killer and clear Mandy's name. My biggest let down in the book was there was made mention of Wilcox, the resident ghost at the Rose Cottage Cafe but he did not get a part in the book at all. I kept waiting for him to do something. He was almost like a forgotten part of the story. Yes I know the book was not a paranormal story, but since he was mentioned I would of liked to see him have a part of the book. Other then Wilcox's missing part I really enjoyed the book.

Give And Take by Emily Cyr Release Day Blitz

Give&TakeEbookAddison Fitzpatrick settled her first favor, a cataclysmic repayment that ended with hundreds of Pushers dead. Three months later, she receives a letter from the Vampire who betrayed her trust, asking her to save him.




The cryptic letter makes one fact perfectly clear – she has to find Lachlan, assuming he’s not already dead. In doing so, she is forced to do the one thing he asked her not to: involve Cannon.




But the search for Lachlan comes with a price. Addison is forced deeper into her debt, just as her life is put in jeopardy when a new danger surfaces. One from her past, stirring up inner demons threatening to take her back to hell.




Now Addison must find a way to kill a supernatural being she’s

never even heard of, all while protecting her heart from its love for Lachlan, and its confusing stirrings toward Cannon. It was so much easier to hate the vampires.




Things are not always what they seem in Addison’s world. The fight to save Lachlan will test her strength, her conviction, and her skill as a Pusher. Will she survive unscathed, or will she let the demons win?
