I have a feeling the hell that Teague went through is going to pale in comparison to the crap she dumps on Luke. I am looking forward to BLAZE as well. But I am holding out for Mitch's story. I am one of the one's who fell in love with his mystery. I hope it won't be too long before I find out more about him. Thanks for stopping by! I'd say best of luck, but I think I saw that you won the book. So congratulations! :)GzNKz4evrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030779466005116156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379838402673109621.post-69375449300102996282012-03-23T09:11:08.360-07:002012-03-23T09:11:08.360-07:00Traci16 - I have yet to read anything negative tow...Traci16 - I have yet to read anything negative toward the book. I am sure there will be something because reality is that you can't please everyone, but so far, Joan seems to have nailed "everyone" just about as best she could.

FEVER leaves off with some questions answered and a whole lot more introduced. It stops at a good point, but with the reader anxiously awaiting the next book. Joan is hoping to announce further installments in the future. Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck to you in the contest. :)GzNKz4evrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030779466005116156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379838402673109621.post-21193991451126596882012-03-23T09:06:48.584-07:002012-03-23T09:06:48.584-07:00Hi Ava ~ I have seen all good feedback thus far, w...Hi Ava ~ I have seen all good feedback thus far, which thrills me.

I love blended drinks - Pina Colada, Midori Colada, Mudslide - even at home I blend a shot of Bailey's or Chocolate Liqueur into my vanilla shakes. So sad when they won't blend.

I should try to read with music and see how it effects me, if at all. I completely missed the Lady Antebellum tweets, but I approve of this band! They are in my top five for country artists for sure! :) Thanks so much for stopping by and best of luck in the contest. :)GzNKz4evrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030779466005116156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379838402673109621.post-32473217719813225422012-03-23T08:42:42.797-07:002012-03-23T08:42:42.797-07:00I am such a Bond girl - all I can think of is &quo...I am such a Bond girl - all I can think of is "shaken, not stirred" now.
