Twelve year old boy dies while digging sand tunnels in New Jersey.

Billionaire Shane Trant is used to getting what he wants. What he can’t buy, he takes. When he sees Bristol Deatrich for the first time in over ten years, he knows he wants her. But there’s a problem. Only complete possession of her mind and body will satisfy him. He’s not sure the sweet little Bristol is ready for his brand of extreme carnal play.

But that’s not going to stop him from trying. After all, he learned a long time ago, nobody wins if they don’t take risks. If this risk pays off, they’ll both win.

SAMPLE
He growled, hooked an arm around my waist and whirled around so I was flat against the wall and his body was holding me there.

Oh. My. God.

His mouth descended upon mine, his tongue shoved its way in, and within seconds, I was writhing against him while he kissed me into a coma.

I felt him scoop me up into his arms. He was carrying me, walking, while our tongues mated and battled. I was losing the war, ready to surrender to him, to the fierce heat boiling in my veins, to the blinding need he’d sparked in my body. He broke the kiss, stared down at me with eyes full of male hunger. “I’m sorry, Bristol. I can’t let you go now. I can’t.”

We kissed again, and again, as he carried me into the dungeon. At some point he set me on my feet, but I was too shaky to stand, and I wasn’t about to let him stop kissing me. I hung onto his neck, arms wrapped tightly, and lost myself in his aggressive, demanding, plundering kiss.

I’d been kissed plenty of times, but never like that.

Never like the man couldn’t get enough.

Never like he was staking a claim.

Never like he was conquering me.

When the kiss ended–not my choice–I clung to him and fought to catch my breath.

“Wow,” I murmured. My gaze started at his mouth but quickly moved to the closest piece of torture furniture. I felt myself backing up.

“You’ve never been in a dungeon, correct?” he asked, hands sliding down my sides.

“Never.”

He blocked my exit with his hulking body, held me at the hips. “If I do something you don’t like, say, Red.”

“Red?” I echoed, trying to wiggle my way free. I wasn’t ready for this. That kiss. It was the kiss’s fault I was in here. I didn’t belong here, no.

He cut me off completely, cornering me against another wall, his body a giant obstacle I couldn’t push past. He caged my head between his hands, arms stretched out. His eyes were dark, hard. “You may beg me to stop, but I won’t. You may plead with me and cry, but I won’t stop. But if you say red, I will cease immediately.”

“Red,” I muttered.

His fingertip trailed down the side of my face, down my jaw, my throat to the center of my breastbone. I sucked in a deep breath and fought to regain my composure. But he was so big and so sexy and so intimidating, I couldn’t speak. “I promise I won’t be too hard on you this first time.” He closed his hands around my waist, forcing me deeper into the room.

Ohmygod, what was happening?

The results?

This soup is To Die For delicious! Seriously.

The recipe can be found HERE.

Now, I will admit, I tweaked it a little. I added more garlic than the recipe called for, and I skipped the parsley. I also skipped the thickening. The soup was as thick as it needed to be. I also added some shredded sharp cheddar to the top of each bowl. Insanely good. If you’re a potato soup fan, you must try it.

First, a confession: I am an HGTV addict. That channel is always playing in my office/den. Practically 24/7. But there is one show that I eagerly await every week–Home by Novogratz. I am just floored by the designs showcased in that show. If only I could by HGTV’d by them. What a dream that would be!

What is it about this show in particular that makes me eagerly await the next episode?

1. The crisp, fresh color schemes

When I look at their rooms, I see a lot of bright colors teamed with clean, pure white. Orange. Green. Blue. Pink. At the moment, with the many stresses our family is currently facing, those are the combinations I crave. They make me feel light and carefree and happy. I need that right now.

2. Their use of huge, bold graphics

Many of the Novogratz’s rooms feature huge, oversized murals, bold geometric wallpapers, and/or interesting, achievable wall treatments. There’s always a WOW moment. In particular, I love their use of family photos in either wallpapers or murals. What a way to make a space personal.

3. Their keen ability to mix old with new and make it work

Their rooms don’t look like all the pieces were purchased at the same store, at the same time. And yet, they all share a common feature that makes them fit within the overall design. I try to do this, out of necessity. Am I as successful? No way! But I keep trying.

4. Their cheap chic, anyone can do this approach to design

Taping off sections of a wall, painting stripes and then using stencils to write out a simple message…the average do-it-yourselfer like me can handle that.

5. Their willingness to take risks–such as building an inside slide in a client’s basement or painting a bedroom’s ceiling with chalkboard paint and then paying an artist to draw a gorgeous winged deer over the bed. Again, WOW.

When I watch do-it-yourself shows on TV, I want to be inspired. I want to see something I haven’t seen somewhere else. I always get that when I watch their show (and no, I’m NOT being paid to endorse their HGTV program). HGTV, if you happen to stumble upon this little blog, please keep shows like this one coming!

But...(important service announcement here)…it ISN’T always free to borrow a book. (You did know there would be a but in there somewhere, right?)

How it works (from the ebookfling.com website):

With 14-day lending now available on tens of thousands of Nook and Kindle books, eBook Fling makes it possible for readers across America to borrow and share their ebooks. Lend an ebook, earn a credit, and borrow any other for free! It’s 100% safe with the book returned in 14 days guaranteed. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: LIST. Got ebooks? List them up for grabs.

Any Kindle or Nook books you own can be listed. Your collection is what makes up our collection.

Step 2: LEND. Email your book if requested.

Send your book along to the requesting borrower and earn credits for each successful fling. But don’t send your e-reader!

Step 3: BORROW. Snatch up any ebook you’d like!

Spend 1 credit and choose any ebook from thousands to borrow. No credits? It’s just $2.99 to borrow. Cheap, right? We prefer thrifty.

Step 4: READ. Enjoy a 14-day fling with your book!

Download to your Mac or PC, KindleTM or NookTM device, or your iPad&tm;, iPhone&tm;, Blackberry&tm;, or Android&tm; smartphone. Afterward, the book disappears and is automatically returned to the original owner. Simple.

My thoughts: If you’re the kind who buys books written by NYT and/or USA Today bestselling authors, and aren’t all that fond of their books’ price tags, that $2.99 price looks mighty good. However, there are many thousands of books available on Kindle and Nook that are priced below that. I’ve bought and read a great many of them. And I have yet to be disappointed.

A few questions you may wish to explore before joining a lending/sharing type of service like this:

1. Isn’t lending limited to once per owner, for a period of 14 days?

2. How many books are included in the Nook/Kindle lending programs?

3. At one point, it was necessary for the borrower to have the owner’s credit card number to open a shared Nook book. I’m going to assume that issue has been resolved.

4. How does this lending/sharing service compare to others?

It’s your choice. Borrow a $9.99 ebook by a NYT bestseller.  Or buy a $.99 novel by an unknown. But at least with eBook Fling, you know have a new option.
