Zoey Derrick is my new crack addiction


69 Bottles has got to be one of the best new series I've read in a long time. I started out with Claiming Addison, which on it's own is a super sexy book. You can see my review in a previous post. But Craving Talon? Holy moly, did we hit the motherload! I have never swiped across my Kindle screen as eagerly or as quickly as I did with Talon's book. There was drama and messiness and fighting and loving. But what I was really waiting for, and what I got in spades, was for Talon and Kyle to truly come together. I've read other books where there may be some M/M erotic scenes, but they always come across as awkward or not very realistic. I mean, no lube, really? Good luck with that, honey. Zoey, on the other hand, writes these scenes as if she's been there and observed firsthand the eroticism of the moment. (That's a whole other bag of questions for Ms. Derrick at another time, and some bribery for pics. ;-) )

For the honesty value, I will say I did receive an ARC of this book in exchange for my review. But I would have paid for it, and still written this same review, because it is amazeballs. Truly. I need a movie version, and I believe I need to personally audition the roles of Talon and Kyle. I mean, gotta get it right, am I right??

Off to stare longingly at my Kindle, awaiting the day when Kyle's story comes floating across my screen, and my heart. And various other places. ;-)

Love this new series by Zoey Derrick!!

If you haven't heard about this author, OMG you NEED to run out and scoop up her books. Don't walk, run. And grab a friend. Because you are going to need someone to talk about these stories with! They are the hottest thing to cross my Kindle in a very long time...and that's saying something since I read some pretty provocative material!! Much love, Zoey, on a job well done!!! 

Claiming Addison - 69 Bottles #1 by Zoey Derrick

Claiming Addison - 69 Bottles #1
Book 1 in the 69 Bottles series is Claiming Addison. It introduces us to some sexually driven and gorgeous characters Addison, Kyle, and Talon.

When these three people meet, the immediate sexual chemistry is CRAY-CRAY. It's hot and steamy and vulnerable. A little of everything. There is more than enough to leave you hot and bothered and wanting.

MMF, MFM, FMM, I love these types of stories. However, most authors just CANNOT get the MMF angle right. They gloss over the important parts, but even more, they usually won't even touch on the males touching or kissing or being intimate. I love how Zoey incorporates the ENTIRE threesome into intimate situations, sometimes together, sometimes separate, but always loving and safe.

This book is part of a three book series and I am DYING for the next 2!!!

2014 Dance Recital is in the books!

And it was amazeballs. So fluid and the girls did fantastic! This was Kennedy's very 1st recital, and she handled it like a pro. Raegan has been dancing for years, but even she pulled out some moves that I've never seen her do before! Especially her acrobatics dance. HOLY COW!!!!!! Congrats and well done!


Long Time, No See!!

It's been an undeniably very long time since I've made a post! But in my defense, I have a very valid excuse. We are in the middle of remodeling a foreclosed home that we bought and it's taking up all of my time! Between that, my full-time job, and my part-time one day a week cleaning job, I'm pooped! But so thrilled....this is going to be amazing for my family! Here are some before photos...I'll be posting "after" photos as we go along. We got an unbelievably amazing deal on this house from a friend's parents....so uber excited!! We will hopefully have the bedrooms and a bathroom ready within the next month, and work on the rest as we are living there. *Famous last words*

Pantry...there's not one in our current house that we've been in for 10 years so I am beyond thrilled!!
