It’s that time of the year again. Time when all residents of this little island nation can unabashedly express their love for country, and home. While taking a brief respite after lunch, and waiting for the big show tonight, I pondered the questions that the organizers tossed us: When you think of the words ‘Live [...]
Book Review: Fire and Ice, To Die For
Another round of backlogged book review, this time on two romantic suspense novels. One by Anne Stuart, whose ice series I’ve been following, and the other by Linda Howard, who is not new to me, but has yet to capture my interest – maybe it’s the choices of her books I’ve made which influenced me.

Well, in about six hours’ time, we’ll be flying off to lovely Phuket for four fantastic days of absolute bliss doing nothing but lazing by the pool, lounging in the villa, reading, shopping and just relaxing.

For those unfamiliar with ET, here’s the synopsis of The Bride’s Bodyguard: Tessa Lorimer thinks [...]
Unlike Ames, I’m familiar with Elizabeth Thornton, and have been following this since The Marriage Trap, so I knew there’ll be a larger part of the story devoted to suspense, although Katrina would beg to defer, despite the synopsis on the back cover: It’s a challenge most men would avoid at all costs: to seduce [...]
First up, the two dear Ja(y)nes over at DearAuthor are holding a Thanksgiving giveaway. (Demon Angel by Meljean Brook is much wanted!). All you’ll have to do is just comment anywhere on the site until Thanksgiving. Okay, after you’ve put in your claim for a free book, hop over to Jaci’s where she’s posted this [...]
Ever since the local TV station started airing Fox production Prison Break every Thursday, the man and I have been held prisoner in front of the couch. He loves the suspense and action. Me? I’m in for the hunky Wentworth Miller (doesn’t he look dapper in that suit?), who plays the brainy Michael Scofield. Yep [...]
