Fresh Fiction Reviewer!

That's right world. Step back. You are reading a blog post for a new reviewer for Fresh Fiction! Very excited! That news has been the cherry to my pretty great day. Hubby made cookies to make up and because he loves me. I get to make my picks for Fantasy Football team draft. Bought the best sexy shoes and spider web top I have ever seen to go with these great thigh high hose I have. (Isn't there something about finding some great sexy shoes that just makes the day seem brighter?) My GM is coming in back in town along with my brother, his wife and my spectacular nephews. Facebook with my sis and friends this afternoon. We are getting ready for vacation in a week or so and hubby is taking me dancing this week. My cloud is definitely nine and that is before I even start reading my next Lara Adrian book "Ashes of Midnight" tonight.

I am raising my glass of unsweetened iced tea hoping that my real job doesn't squash my good mood tomorrow and make me regret not having something stronger than iced tea. Cheers.

Author Heaven

Sometimes you find an author that makes you just want to shout "Hallelujah"! Well, Katie MacAlister is one of those authors. Thank you DFW Tea Readers for the recommendation. The first book I read was "The Corset Diaries" and my only recommendation is do not read it in the middle of the night next to a sleeping husband. I woke him up with my bursts of laughter 3 times. I didn't mean to, I just couldn't help it.

Then I read the Noble Series- "Noble Intentions", "Noble Destiny" and "The Trouble with Harry". Love, Liked a lot, and Love.

I couldn't get enough so I read "Suffragette in the City", then I read it, "Noble Intentions" and "The Trouble with Harry" again. But, I wanted more of Katie's wicked sense of humor, great sex scenes, and wonderful characters.

So I read "Blow Me Down"- Loved It, "Hard Day's Knight"- Loved It, the 2 Novella book "Ain't Myth Behaving"- Absolutely freaking loved it!!!! Then I read "Noble Intentions" and "The Trouble with Harry" again.

At the last Book Club meeting, I was told that I needed to read her Dragon and Vampire series. There seemed to be some debate as to which I should read first because both are passionately defended. Since I am a huge Vampire lover, I chose the Vampires and in one week read the whole series. While my favorite is the novella "Bring Out Your Dead" with the William head being kept as a pet, I digress. WOW! What a wickedly funny, bizarrely twisted, wonderfully creative, "I want to party with you" woman Katie MacAlister is.

While I have some other books I need to read right now, I will be revisiting the Dragon series soon and I am quite sure I will be reading several of her books again and again because they make me laugh every time.
