FREEDOM GIVEAWAY HOP!!!

Hey everybody! It's time! Another one of the I am A Reader, Not a Writer and Simply Stacie super blog hops! I just love their hops!

So, as I said in the previous post, a good friend of mine turned me on to a series called Rough Riders, written by Lorelei James. Ever seen 'em? These books are SMOKIN' HAWT! From book one, page 1 you are thrown into the Wyoming cattle ranching McKay's and their HAWT Irish Country heritage. Don't get me wrong. None of these boys are dressed in kilts. These boys are country through and through. Tight wranglers, Tony Lama boots, Stetson Resistol Cowboy hats and all! They're good with their hands and good with their......ropes! *snickering* These books bring it all. If you have any sexual "hot buttons" you may want to check the books out before trying to win them. There are all kinds of sexual escapades in these books.

There are no shifters, vamps, demons, witches or anything supernatural in these books. Its just HAWT cowboys and the strong women who love them and have the pleasure of being loved by them.

For my giveaway, I will be giving one winner in the US (sorry International peeps) a copy of the first book in the series "Long Hard Ride"

AND a copy of the 2nd book, "Rode Hard, Put up Wet"

If you don't happen to win, you can check out these super HAWT, SMEXY books full of rock hard....biceps & 6-pack abs at Amazon (just one of the locations you can purchase them).

Now for the important stuff....what do you need to do to be counted in the Random.org Goddess's count? (Sorry, the "comment" section is BELOW all the links for the blogs participating in the blog hop.)
1. You MUST be a follower. No exceptions!
2. You MUST leave a comment. Not just a "great giveaway, yada yada yada" comment, something that shows you're interested in these books.

That's it! No jumping through thousands of hoops and following me everywhere.

You MUST be over 18 to win these books! The content is VERY adult & there is no way I'll be giving these books to any kids.....sorry!

I would like you to see the previous post as there is a link to the Facebook Fan Page where the characters of these books "live" and interact with the fans.

Now, there are linkies that you can use to hop from blog to blog. And if I do this right, they will be down here. If not, please go to the link in the beginning for the I Am A Reader, Not A Writer blog or Simply Stacie's blog.

It's been almost a MONTH!

Wow! I hadn't realized it has been so long since I posted. As I stated before, I was in a bit of a "reading funk" and had a hard time getting out of it. It has been a busy month getting the puppies to training and then back and forth to their follow ups. I was lucky and came across an excellent trainer!

Now, a good friend of mine has turned me on to a "new to me" author. Lorelei James? Have you heard of her? If not, listen up! This author has a series call the Rough Riders. STEAMY! From page 1 of the first book I was bowled over by the sexiness of these books. They are real page turners. I will warn you that if you have issues with different types of sex, you might want to check them out first before you buy them, because this author leaves no stone unturned. They are HAWT, a great romance series and full of yummy, sexy Wyoming cowboys and the strong women who love them.

Now, The Freedom Giveaway is coming up in a couple of days, July 1st to be exact, and my contribution to this blog hop is going to be the first two books in the Rough Rider series. Hang tight everybody, grab onto your boots straps and jump into this sexy series!

Also, just so you know, once you do get into this series, there is a fan page for the Rough Riders on Facebook. Here is a link to join that fan page if you decide you love them as much as the rest of us do!

Rough Riders Fan Page

So, July 1st my friends! I'm going to give away the first two books in the series!

Be back in a few days to post for the blog hop!

May R.A.K.

Thanks to the wonderful people at Book Soulmates, I was gifted with a wonderful book by Kristen at Kris-ten.net.

This was my first R.A.K. EVER! What a wonderful idea. If you haven't checked it out, please do. It's a great way to share books.

Kristen sent me a book from one of my FAVORITE series, Kitty Norville Series by Carrie Vaughn.

I am so thankful to Kristen for the book and Book Soulmates for putting the R.A.K. together (Click on Book Soulmates to go to the R.A.K. page). As soon as I find a book that I have (that someone wants), I'll be sure to return the favor!

Happy Memorial Day

Hey Everybody!
I know its been a little while since I've posted. I finally got my puppies you saw in a previous post. They are awesome! They're wearing me out.....but they're awesome! I've been in a little bit of a "funk" lately. So, if you don't hear from me for a little bit, that's why. I think I have a couple of blog hops coming up and you will hear from me then but I may be AWOL for a little bit. I haven't even been reading! Can you believe that? I'm lucky if I can stay awake long enough to watch TV for a few minutes while I'm in bed.

Here is a picture of my boys playing. They're funny little guys.

I hope you Keep Reading Dearhearts!

SILHOUETTE MACHINE GIVEAWAY!!!!

SILHOUETTE MACHINE GIVEAWAY!!!!

Nicole Zoltack, Champion of Valor Blog Stop

Hi everyone, Nicole Zoltack here, author of a fantasy romance trilogy. Thank you so much for having me today, Kimberly!

Since this blog is about reading and baking, I thought I would talk a little about both.
I love to read. I just posted a book review on my blog yesterday for Possession, a wonderful YA dystopia. I’ll read just about anything as long as it sounds interesting. Right now I’m reading The Lightning Thief. I love mythology and fantasy books especially.

When I’m busy writing, I tend to skip lunch. I don’t mean to but I get caught up writing and lose track of time. But my favorite dessert to make are my brownies. I don’t make them from scratch but they are delicious! I use Betty Crocker (two boxes of the kind with chocolate pieces in them). I add even more chocolate chips into them. Death by chocolate brownies I call them. Mmm… I haven’t made them lately but I just might have to!

What’s your favorite genre? What’s the best book you read lately? What is your favorite dessert?

Champion of Valor:
The Mystical Conch Shell of the Sea has been stolen, and it's up to Selliki, the selkie, to get it back. Selliki sets across the continent of Alethereia to find Arnhem, and Gabrael, the mage she loves. Selliki knows that no union between a selkie and a human have ever had a happy ending, but neither can ignore their feelings. Each night, they experience terrible, real dreams that show how doomed their love is.

The final war between Speica and Arnhem is threatening the entire world. Lucifer has aligned himself with Speica and wants nothing less than to bring about the Apocalypse before its time. In the last battle, cowardice is revealed, promises are broken, and many people die. Trolls fight icthyocentaurs, dwarves armed up against the Drow, angels against demons. Only one kingdom will prevail; that is, if the world doesn't end.

Be sure to leave a comment to be entered to win some signed post cards and magnets. Each comment during the Champion of Valor Blog Tour gives you an entry for the grand prize: a copy of the entire Kingdom of Arnhem trilogy - Woman of Honor, Knight of Glory, and Champion of Valor.
