Nothing better than losing yourself in a wonderful romance novel, unless you lose yourself in a wonderful romance novel with some chocolate and maybe a strawberry margarita or some other frozen tropical "adult" concoction...while basking in the sun on a white sand beach somewhere...while cabana boys (men) gently fan you with large palm leaves, refill your drink, fetch chocolate...Ahhhhhh...This is the life.

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. ~Samuel Lover

All the words I use in my stories can be found in the dictionary - it's just a matter of arranging them into the right sentences. ~Somerset Maugham

You're welcome for the promo. :D My pleasure.

Donica...I'll take 10-15 degrees from ya. We are maybe 70 degrees today. If the breeze isn't...uh...breezing. Sigh. Looking for low 80's by the end of the week. Very unseasonably cool here. Not complaining. Much. Considering the alternative is to be too hot for comfort.; 3:17 PM
