The Thanksgiving Hop

 

 

Visit Crazy-For-Books to join up on the hop this week. The question of the week is:

"Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!"

My answer:  I am thankful for the health of my family.  There are so many that have illnesses that effect their daily lives.  We are truly blessed with strong fortitudes of mind and body and are thankful. Are prayers to all those who have illnesses or have loved ones that are suffering.  Bless all caregivers and those they care for.

This book rocked!!! This book outshines the first book!  Hot characters, intense sex, emotional rollercoaster. J.K. Beck outdid herself.  I’m going right away to Book 3, When Wicked Craves.

Favorite Quote: "You weren't in any danger," he said. "And if I was?" He didn't falter, but met her eyes, and when he spoke, she heard the truth in his words. "They'd all be dead.” (Rand)
