U7 Retro Fashion Men's Stainless Steel 18K Gold Plated Cross Pendant Necklace







   Very nice cross necklace. My Nephews birthday is coming up and he loves wearing necklaces. He also like anything Celtic and loves crosses. I just know he will love this awesome cross necklace. I do.
   The cross is about 1 1/2 inches long. It comes on a 22 inch chain. The chain is called a wheat chain. The chain is just beautiful or handsome I guess I should say. It seems to be a very sturdy chain. It is kind of a thick rope style chain. I really like that it is a solid chain instead of having the couple of inches of adjustable links at the end. Those look kind of cheap to me. This one does not look cheap at all.
   The chain and the cross are stainless steel. The cross is solid not hollow inside. I am thrilled to be giving this to my Nephew and I know he will enjoy it for years to come with the quality of the workmanship. It comes in a small gift box also.

I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

NOVICA Woven .925 Sterling Silver and Amethyst Dangle Earrings, 'Indian Basket'







I am in love with these beautiful earrings from Novica. They are sterling silver, not plated. They also have beautiful clear purple Amethyst stones in the center of a nested look oval of sterling silver. They are just beautiful and could be worn for a fancy night out or to work or just around the house, anytime is the perfect time to wear these earrings. They care a french hoop style earring, which I really love. Posts are nice but a little dangle is my style.

I am surrounded by small kids and it really hurts when they pull on earrings these are large enough to get attention from others but yet small enough the kids haven't paid a lot of attention to pulling on them.

These catch the light and have a nice amount of sparkle. They look great with just about any outfit as the color is very pretty but it is not jump out at you vibrant. I really like that about these earrings. I don't want the colors to over power and these are perfect for that The earrings are put together very nicely the french hoop has a tiny ball on the end where it attaches to the charm, so it will not slip off. It is pinched around the charm tightly so it cannot come off the hoop side either.

The amethyst stone is a 2 carat stone. It is real amethyst not a synthetic stone. The earrings were designed in India by Bhavesh. Included with the earrings is a small story card. The tells tells about the designer of the earrings and the design of the earrings. These are called Indian Baskets. The sterling silver basket has a weaved look like a basket which holds the amethyst stone. The earrings come shipped in a really pretty cloth bag with a pull string closure. The 2 earrings are inside of small zip top bags separately so they do not tangle or nick each other.

These beautiful earrings would make the perfect gift for any woman or teenage girl.

I received this earrings during a promotion at a discounted price for an honest and unbiased review.

Book Tour for Angelus by Sabrina Benulis

Books of Raziel Trilogy
Book Three
Sabrina Benulis

February 9, 2016
Harper Voyager
Paperback
Genre: Fiction / Fantasy / Paranormal

A Harper Voyager Trade Paperback Original

In the heart-pounding conclusion to The Books of Raziel trilogy, Angela discovers that she holds the keys to both Heaven and Hell, and that angels, demons, and all the creatures in between will stop at nothing to possess her...
The war started by three powerful angel siblings - Raziel, Lucifel, and Israfel - has divided the kingdoms of both Heaven and Hell. Now the destruction is spilling over into our world.
The last hope for a crumbling world is the Archon, also known as the human Angela Mathers. Angela alone can successfully oppose Lucifel and open Raziel’s Book for the power of good rather than evil. But to do so would mean murdering her best friend, a fact Angela refuses to face.

Now Angela sits on the throne of Hell, fulfilling a prophecy of ruin. But ruin does not always mean destruction.....sometimes it means revolution.
Praise for Sabrina Benulis & The Books of Raziel Trilogy:

“[Benulis’] unique take on religion and angels is truly innovative. With just enough left unresolved, Covenant perfectly leads into the upcoming final book of the trilogy”
— Romantic Times Magazine on Covenant

“These angels can be vindictive and cruel, more human than you might expect and oozing supernatural abilities…. If you think you have the guts to take on this novel pick it up.”
— Boulder Examiner on Covenant

“A dark, bold story.”
— Lexington Literature Examiner on Covenant

“Benulis writes a no-holds-barred tale of destruction, love, power, and friendship. Everything you thought you knew about God, the Devil, angels and demons will be wiped away and replaced with a world so terribly beautiful that you will yourself gazing out into the night sky, hoping against hope that magic is real. Her characters have depth and 3-deminsional personalities, while her scenery, complete with candlelight and stain-glass windows, emphasizes the primal battles that humans go through on a daily basis.”
— Tulsa Books Examiner on Archon

“… Benulis uses lush descriptions and larger than life characters to tell the story of a battle between Heaven and Hell…She proves herself as a force to be reckoned with… I will definitely be on the lookout for the next installment in her book of Raziel series so I can grab it up and pour over each page.”
— Suspense Magazine on Archon

Excerpt Two:

The Vet’s Valentine Gift by J.L. Campbell

I sat there thinking Dane had a nerve. From what I understood, he'd been a constant source of disappointment to Jade since his separation and divorce from Toni. Considering that, I didn't know why Toni would defend him.

When she came back to the living room, Jade was with her.

One look at her told me she was still unhappy. Her little mouth drooped at the corners and she kept her gaze lowered. She climbed onto the sofa to sit beside me and after a moment I slipped my arm around her shoulder.

Toni sat on her other side and fixed her eyes on the television where the business segment of the news was on air.

Jade poked me in the leg. "Doc, I didn't ask you before, but you got any children?"

"Do you have any children," Toni said.

Jade nodded to acknowledge her and then turned back to me. "Do you have any?"

"I shook my head. I have nieces and nephews though. Does that count?"

"Nah, but if you had a little girl like me, you'd want to see her all the time, right?"

A deep breath was in order, because I was heading into a minefield and had to choose my words so as not to rile Toni any further.

Gently, I plucked Jade's nose. "Of course, if she was as cute as you are."

Jade turned to Toni. "See, I told you he'd make a good daddy."

Toni shot fire at me with her eyes, and my only response was a shrug. I wasn't about to make Jade feel any worse after her argument with her father.

Jade didn't say anything for a bit, but frowned hard at the television. It wasn't long before she poked me in the leg again. "Doc, can I ask you something?"

"You can ask me anything."

Toni sat forward, as if sensing Jade was going to ask a question she wouldn't like, but she stayed quiet. When Jade looked at her, Toni pressed her plump lips together and put on the same expression my mother used years ago to let me know we'd have words later if I did any

foolishness.

Shuffling sideways, Jade angled her body toward me. She narrowed her eyes as if to gauge whether or not she should ask what she wanted to know. I guess she was satisfied with whatever she saw because she sat up straighter and looked me square in the face. "Doc, since you don't have a little girl yet, would you like to be my daddy?"

Half Life Reviews

“Half Life is a terrific novel. Right from the start you'll be drawn into many dark worlds—politics, espionage, and North Korea—and it will keep you on the edge of your seat right until the last page. Paul H.B. Shin’s authenticity and style cannot be missed.” –Dale Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Starfire (William Morrow)


“A gripping, taut espionage thriller, Half Life is enriched by the love story at its core and the refusal to give simple answers. I loved it.” –Robert Ferrigno, bestselling & award-winning author of Heart of the Assassin (Scribner)

With sure-footed prose and vivid characterization, Shin takes readers inside the paranoid claustrophobia of North Korea’s political world, where even high-ranking diplomats live in constant fear. With North Korea's nuclear arms program as a backdrop, the eminently believable and thoughtful plot will have readers wondering if they're looking attomorrow's news. A well-wrought debut.”

Blurb Blitz: Royal Pain by Danielle Doolittle


Royal Pain
by Danielle Doolittle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Prince Henry Fitzgerald, once high flying playboy, finds himself grounded and forced into rehab. Changing isn't in the cards but facing off with feisty horse trainer, Carleigh Philips, makes him see he's not as far gone as everyone-including himself-thought. When a series of accidents add up to foul play Henry must set aside his fear of failure and act quickly to save the woman who woke his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

"You asked why I was spending so much time with her. I’m teaching her how to trust — to love — for the first time. It’s slow, hard work, but it’ll be worth it in the end. The first time is always the hardest, especially for those who don’t know where to begin."

Carleigh met Henry’s searching gaze over the fence. She wasn’t sure if she was talking about the horse anymore. Somehow, she got the feeling Henry had never allowed himself to be vulnerable enough to accept love, even from his family, and that was the saddest thing of all. How long had he been shutting himself off from the people around him? Some of her compassion must have showed on her face, because right before her eyes, the harsh lines that had relaxed during her story appeared again. He was shutting down, and a part of Carleigh cried out at the loss.

He shrugged, as if her explanation was of no concern to him. "I didn’t really come out here to talk about the horse."

"I figured." Carleigh tilted her head, studying him. "Why did you come here?"

"Do you mean that question in the universal ‘why are we all here?’ way?"

"I’m serious, Henry."

"I gathered, Carleigh. That’s the trouble with you, you know. I’ve noticed you’re always very, very serious." Carleigh tried not to fidget as his gaze swept her body. "Except for the other night, that is. The other night, the only thing that was serious was the heat between us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

For Katie Benjamin, finding the perfect soul mate was just a fairy tale until a chance encounter on a train changes everything. What she discovers takes her on a journey that spans lifetimes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Excerpt :

“I had this commissioned for you to have. I want you to wear it close to your heart and know my heart is now and will always be yours.” He opened the case and displayed a gold locket. She gasped at the beautiful locket within the case. It was a white cameo in a pale pink background.

“Turn it over,” he said.

She did and read the words he had engraved on the back. Forever in my heart, forever in my soul.

She felt tears running down her face as she looked at the beautiful words and then into Jonathon’s eyes. She looked deep into his eyes and felt her own soul connecting directly to Jonathon. He said to her, “Forever in my heart, forever in my soul. I will find you again.” He then wrapped his arms around her and took her lips in a passionate kiss. Her heart was hammering in her throat as she kissed him back. To her it felt a bit like a good-bye kiss, but a kiss filled with the promise of reuniting in time.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:



I am a CPA, CGA and live in Southern Ontario. After working for many years in the high pressure worlds of banking and IT, I decided that it was time to have a change in pace. Leaving Toronto behind I embarked on a new career in retail sales. The change was wonderful, but I felt something was missing.

Then, the unthinkable happened, and I was widowed at 46. That was a truly life altering experience. In time, I was introduced to the books and work of Dr. Brian Weiss. I discovered in his research a new purpose in life, and was driven to start writing, something I had always enjoyed, but never thought of as a career choice.


And now here we are in 2015, and my first novel is ready to be published. My second, also in the Past Lives series, will follow shortly.  I continue to write and dream of a future that I had never even considered in my wildest dreams.
