I like to watch movies under my nice warm blanket, read a good book, or enjoy a bout of stress relief *wink* But whatever you do, turning a cold winter night into a hot one can be as simple as grabbing a good book, curling with a comfy blanket and reading. Or snuggling up to your favorite person and letting the heat from their body turn up the sizzle in your blood. I love winter. I love the holidays and getting together with my family and going outside. But what I love even more, is coming home and putting on my PJs and relaxing with a good book, watching a movie with my two men (husband and son) or just plotting new stories.

A great story to read to warm up your night is Mr. Buff

Every morning, Alexandra drinks in the sexy vision of Mr. Buff through his office window across the street. He takes his workouts seriously, and Alexandra never misses the opportunity to see him return, sweaty and pumped, to his office suite to shower. Turns out Andrew enjoys the view just as much as she does and can’t take his eyes off the woman who makes his blood roar.

But when Alexandra bumps into Mr. Buff at a club, things go from visual to physical. And much to her delight, she learns that Mr. Buff is really Mr. Dominant. She loves spending time with him and getting to know him the way nature intended, but she’s looking for more than a fling. How’s she supposed to make Mr. Buff realize he’s Mr. Right?

Welcome to the Once Upon a Blog Hop!

Thank you for stopping by to read my thoughts on this hop. Fairy Tales are one of the things we remember from childhood. The romance between the prince and princess, beauty and beast and lady and the tramp. Yes, even dogs get romantic. I think that was the part I loved the most. And it was what pushed me into writing romance. Sweet stories with some and nice but with some heat for my characters.

In honor of all things fairy and the new and interesting ways the tales are being re-written for books and movies, I’d like to give two prizes away to two winners.

Prize #1 – 1 Winner – Once Upon a Twisted Time ~ Prize #2 – 1 Winner – $5 Amazon.com GC

Welcome to my stop on the Merry Menage Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting. I’m going to countdown my five favorite holiday movies for you. Let’s see how many of them we have in common. :)

5.

An absolute classic that will never go out of style. Bruce Willis ROCKS! Do you need more reasons?

4.

A fun family classic. Macauly Culkin and his devious little ways makes me laugh every time. Entainment is guarantees when you watch this one.

3.

Jim Carrey made this movie something fun to watch for me. I always considered him silly, but when I got to the end and the Grinch did a Christmas miracle *tear* it was so cute.

2.

I really enjoyed the Santa Clause. Tim Allen brought back the spirit of the holidays and made me smile with his interpretation of the big jolly man.

1.

I am sure you either saw it or heard of it at some point in the past few years. This has to be Will Ferrell’s best movie. It will make you laugh, sing, and maybe even smile at his amazing christmas spirit.

Entry is simple. Comment with your holiday movie. Be sure to leave your email addy when you do. For extra entries, like, share and follow. Use the rafflecopter to enter and get extra entries.

Below is a quote from Amber on her Rhea story…If you’d like to know more about this story, check out her website by clicking on the birthday banner to the left. There are giveaways!!! (I am giving something away at her blog too! So you have to stop by and check it out!)

“There you are!” The wild look in Jamie’s eyes and the speed in which she rushed over to greet Rhea said stronger than words that things weren’t going well with the in-laws.

Rhea spotted the queen and the prince sitting at the tea table. If she scanned the room for a certain dark-haired king well no one seemed to notice or if they did they didn’t mention it.

Jamie’s fingers dug into Rhea’s arm as she grabbed her tightly and dragged her to the table. “Come have tea with us. I haven’t seen you since we landed. How are you doing sister dear?”

“Is it that bad?” Rhea whispered.

“Yesss,” Jamie hissed back quietly.

Rhea bit her lip so she wouldn’t burst out laughing. “Nice to see you again,” Rhea told the queen then she nodded politely to the prince as she took her seat.

“Nice to see you again,” Prince Marcep said with a smile. “I hear my brother is looking for you. He can’t seem to keep track of you.”

“I had to go talk to a dragon,” Rhea explained with a shrug.

The queen’s cup clattered against its saucer. “You talked to a dragon?”

“Yes, I’m supposed to help them charge their egg hatching rocks.”

“Y-you can do that?” Prince Marcep asked, his eye wide with surprise.

“I think so. I mean I won’t really know until I see them but Brurien seemed to think I have the right skills.”

“Y-You know the king of dragons?” the queen asked.

“That’s who he said he was,” Rhea said. I don’t know if he was telling the truth or not. He’s the same one who was on the train whether he’s the leader or not.”

“Can I go with you when you see the stones?” Prince Marcep asked. “I’ve always been interested in the dragons but they have no interest in me.”

Rhea turned to the queen who nodded. “Sure you can come with. I don’t know when it’s going to happen but I’ll let you know when the dragons contact me.”

“Here have some tea,” Jamie handed over a cup of green colored liquid.

“Tea?” Rhea sniffed it tentatively. It smelled like flowers and spice. She took a careful sip. “It’s good.”

“It’s my own special blend,” the queen said. “It’s made from desert flowers.”

“I like it.” Rhea smiled at the face her sister made. Jamie wasn’t much of a tea drinker.

Rhea slid over a plate of sandwiches toward Jamie. Her sister would need the sustenance to make it through the afternoon with her inlaws.

Today I’m giving you an unedited bit from my HOT wolves- Wynter’s Captive (to be released)

Enjoy

“Cade…”

She didn’t know what to say, but if he stopped now she might go crazy and kill him. Definitely kill him for teasing a woman who hadn’t had sex in forever.

His lip curled into a sexy self-assured smile. “I bet you’ll taste like cinnamon.”

He lowered his head and took a slow lick before she processed his words.
