    Super Saturday

    May 2, 2009 /


    What’s Jack up to? It’s Saturday so Jack is taking it light and breezy being spoiled by his best bud the DH. He’s such a lucky dog.

    Speaking of the DH. The winner of The Diamonds of Welbourne contest was pulled last night at around 12:15 by my very own tired DH.

    The winner is….. Patricia of PVE designs! And she was the very first commenter.

    Congrats Patricia. I’ll let the ladies know and have a book to you as soon as possible. I’m sure it will get your artist imagination going.



    The DH was so tired because the family was just back from seeing Wolverine late last night. It was a fun and exciting way to start off the summer movie season.
    Is there anything that Hugh can’t do? Oh, Hugh.
    Have a great rest of the weekend.

    Best,

    Lucky Surprise

    March 31, 2009 /

    What’s Jack up to? Jack’s Chilling. Working on his coolness. As if he need work. Ha!

    I’m a winner!
    And I’m really shocked about it since I entered the Save The Contemporary contest with my usual thought of, “well you’re not winning that.” I know, I’m an eternal optimist. I even went over to one of my favorite blogs Ramblings on Romance and saw that Kristie did not win and made a premature comment that I didn’t win either. So Embarrassing when I went to Smart Bitches Trashy Books a moment later to find that I did win a copy of the new Lisa Kleypas book Smooth Talking Stranger. Now all my usual blog readers know what a big Kleypas fan I am of both her contemporaries and her historicals. I can’t wait to get my hand on this next installment in the Travis family saga. Fun, Fun Fun!

    Here’s a synopsis:

    Jack Travis leads the uncomplicated life of a millionaire Texas playboy. He makes no commitments, he loves many women, he lives for pleasure. But no one has ever truly touched his heart or soul. Until one day, a woman appears on his doorstep with fury on her face and a baby in her arms. It seems Jack is the father and this woman is the baby’s aunt. The real mother has abandoned the child to her more responsible sister. And now, Jack is being called upon to take responsibility for the first time in his life. With delicious romantic tension, characters so real they walk onto the page and into your heart, Lisa Kleypas delivers the kind of novel that makes you laugh, love; cry and cheer.

    Don’t you just love an unexpected surprise? I hope you get a good one today.
